I haven’t RP’d in awhile and I forgot all about the ‘there can be only one girl’ player. You know the one that will immediately perceive nearly all other female PCs as threats and ignore them when a male PC is present and otherwise be weirdly passive aggressive about everything because you might take their man.
Lady, I just want to kill zombies. You can have all the dicks. I don’t want them.
@Whisky said in MU Peeves Thread:
Woke up in the morning to find the password changed and my mostly-done character was now a roster character, mostly edited to suit what they wanted.
I would be super pissed if a PC I made (even if I didn’t finish it!) was made a roster without my consent or approval. That’s so rude.
There are things I really like about Ares, but if you’ve got ‘is everyone hanging out without me’ brain weasels it sure does love to show you scrolling pages of private scenes that say yes, yes they are.
You all know this is a troll, right? There are no minds to be changed here.
She’s the person I was complaining about who wanted all the dicks on the zombie game. It was so blatant and ridiculous that she’d go out of her way to exclude other female PCs on a summary writeup for a posted scene.
And like just to be clear the sexiest thing my PC did in that scene was lift up someone’s shirt to see if they were wounded there (they were)! So it’s not like I was romantic rivaling her or whatever.

(to KarmaBum) Irene says, “I didn’t do submissive things about female PCs.”
Please tell me that’s not just a transcription typo because LOL.
@Serafine said in Neitherlands:
but given the hasty rush in and out of the hospital for (I forget exactly what, it’s still posted on the bboards) exhaustion/stress/burnout/whatever, which was then blamed on said player…
@Serafine you are the one that brought this up. All @Cobalt was asking was if this particular thing, which you said, was really true.
It’s okay to say “That was just what I thought” or “Sorry, I’m making shit up to keep the conversation going” or “lol i dont even Rp” if you don’t actually know that she blamed her hospitalization on @Jenn
I get that everyone is very excited to be able to AI generate Henry Cavill their favorite actor as their PC, but can we please keep everything safe for work on actual character pages? Generate all the naked/nearly naked pics you want sure, but please share them on Discord or something and don’t post them to your character page.
@shit-piss-love Yeah, it hit me like that too. Like, it’s great that there are so many people RPing, but when there’s 30+ private scenes and not one open scene that’s telling me there’s a lot of RP happening on this game that I just…don’t have access to as a new person.
I’d much rather see a list of OPEN scenes and maybe a little line saying something like ‘there’s 34 active scenes!’
@Serafine said in Neitherlands:
@Cobalt Sure but you’re going to have to wait a few. Work and all that.
I fucking hate this Wednesday shit.
I like that you could post all that but not a simple ‘yeah she did’ or ‘no you misread’
A+ drama stretching.
Let’s not overlook the fact that much of the media that we roleplay about and take in at very young ages makes this process a lot easier for those people that want to exploit others. If he’s* troubled, you just need to love him enough. If he’s treating you badly just stick it out and in the end it will all be worth it. If he’s being possessive and jealous that just means he LOVES you SO MUCH and you mean SO MUCH TO HIM.
We’re pretty careful with what my oldest takes in. She’s still in single digits and expressed shyly to me the other day that she really likes the villain we’re watching in a cartoon series. And I was immediately like IF ANYONE EVER MAKES YOU FEEL LESS THAN OR INSULTS YOU YOU SHOULD NOT LIKE THEM OMG NO! It’s not okay for someone to tease you because they like you! Or pull your hair or punch you or pinch you ANYONE THAT DOES THAT IS NOT WORTH YOUR TIME.
All the red flags were there and I thought I was being so smart and careful because I asked him a ton of questions before we started dating. He isolated me from my friends instantly. Wouldn’t meet them. Wouldn’t introduce me to his. Prefaced that with how troubled he was and how I was the only one to ever reach him and he had NO ONE except for me to believe in him and what would he do without that? He love bombed me for the first month then literally turned to me after handing me a gift in the car and said, “So. Now what are you going to do for me?” because nothing was really a gift, everything had a price. Told me flat out once that I was too good for him so he needed to bring me down to his level, like he was doing me a favor.
ButI wasted at least five years of my life on someone that was never, ever going to change. We started like a little support group of ex girlfriends because his MO was to break us down, wait awhile, then come back with sweet apologies when he was bored of whoever he’d move on to next. But since we were all in contact, we knew he’d do it to multiple exes and we were able to move on.
*just using ‘he’ since that fits with my experience. Could be she or them!
I have to say the meltdown really delivered, but my favorite part was the Haven invite so I am delighted to see this branched off with this title.
My oldest log is an actual journal where I transcribed an entire IRC window’s worth of RP one night.
I was 15. It was bad. Poses ended with smilie or winkie faces. I can’t even post the character names because I’m pretty sure the guy who ran the channel still googles himself constantly. I also swear they wrote Elf Only Inn about him.
Years and years and years ago I got into an IC relationship with someone and I made it very clear that I was not interested in any jealousy RP or cheating storylines or anything like that. They swore up and down OOCly and ICly that the IC relationship was The One and The Best Love Story Ever Told etc, etc. and it was really, really fun.
And then one day in my standard bar scene RP I was confronted by The Other Woman. Turned out there were several other people the player had been winding up and he had been looking forward to the big blowout fight over his PC. I noped out of there instantly.
Since then I really tend to just do IC relationships with people I know and trust OOCly.
I thought for a minute things were going to get really interesting but if that person is not Macha what is even happening.
My kids’ new go to is “It isn’t the nineteen hundreds anymore!” and I hate it.
@sao What stands out to me about him is that whenever I’d post a Grayson newsletter the only thing he ever had to say about it–and he did it almost every time–was to point out some typo or complain about something in it. And it really made me wonder why I bothered at all.
He did ask me to a threesome IC once and I was like lol no. I am not even slightly interested in that. And then he basically stopped RPing with me.
American Girl released their latest Historical doll characters.
They’re from 1999.
That’s not okay.
@farfalla It drives me crazy when someone pages me “Hey I have something I need to scene with you about, are you around right now?” And I say yes and go IC and then first thing OOC is something like “Okay, figure out a reason for us to be meeting.”
What!? You asked me! You said you had something! Why am I now on the hook!?
That said I rarely ask people for RP. I tend to just sit out on grid hopeful that someone will come along. That’s why I like running events, you just throw it out there that people can show up at a certain time and then then do!
