If your girl character is hot, Aaron's probably looking at her. He was staring at Ritsu in a swim suit the other day and it was just funny how he did it in front of everyone.Â
Anyone who says you can't be loner and still check out girls is a goddamn lie.
RE: RP Confession Thread - -no longer matters- - 08-11-2015
1.) I tend to get involved in more subplots that I can handle, but still do my best.
2.) I still try to through down a /duel flag on someone being a tough guy, being of mind that if you want to be a bad ass, you gotta prove it... can't do that here so stuck with dice rolls.
3.)I love talking to others about story angles, even if I never get to be involved.
4.) I love to watch, sometimes I like to sit back and just watch others interact quietly. sometimes just adding background ambiance.

More confessions:
There are two reasons I tend to take a small bit in replies in RP.
1. I'm trying to keep up with the pace but I type slow and I tend to think about how it flows, etc. I'll end up using backspace almost every entry.
2. I'm sorta just basking in the scene. I get caught up in the RP, getting caught up in being a reader and not an active participant.
RE: RP Confession Thread - LadyRochester - 08-11-2015
11. It seems that I either RP really well, or extremely horribly. I am extremely insecure and paranoid about the latter, as I can tell when my RP is sub-par. I know people out there probably think I'm a terrible rper because they caught me on these bad days, and the thought of that makes me cringe wand want to smash my face against a brick wall.
12. I am too paranoid about being slow, so I sometimes type as fast as possible without proof-reading. This can lead to awkward posts/typos. I am slowly working on this.

Confession number two....
I try to avoid people who can't type a proper sentence. Not saying someone whose first lanuage isn't obviously English but those who are and end up making my eyes burn. Lowercase I((s)), periods in the middle of sentences, completely mispelled words, and more cause me to steer away from people. It is mean, I know but if it hurts to rp with someone I am going to avoid it.
((I am sure I make other people's eyes bleed and they avoid which I am okay with))

RE: RP Confession Thread - Martiallais - 08-11-2015
#2. I got my start roleplaying online via those old Angelfire sites, specifically Dragonball Z. Let the judging begin. Future Trunks, mostly, before anyone asks. After that it was D&D and Whitewolf games (Aberrant, Hunter, Werewolf) with college friends. City of Heroes was released not long after that and I've been hooked ever since.
#3. I'm very self conscious when it comes to my writing or RP'ing, especially with someone new for the first dozen or two times we RP. I apologize if I've been 'that friend' who annoyingly asks if something was good/fun/enjoyable too much.
#4. If you have a wiki in your signature and have said something I thought was funny/interesting/agreed with/saw randomly...I've probably read said page. I really would like to add rumors and things on pages to let people know they were being read but more often than not it's people I've never rp'd with or seen ingame.
RE: RP Confession Thread - Olofantur - 08-11-2015
People who have talked to me on Skype might know this, but here we go.
My confession:
I love being wrong about the lore ICly and having people correct/scold my character. It doesn't happen very often any more, partly because he's quite a bit older and cautious about what he talks about, but its still nice to see it happen.
On the other hand it can be frustrating trying to explain to people that yes, I know the history behind Limsa Lominsa, that doesn't change that the character thinks its a city of pillaging whore mongers lead by a overly crass and wizened crone who would rather sink her island to the bottom of the ocean than give over its control.
RE: RP Confession Thread - -no longer matters- - 08-11-2015
5.) I will typo, as many other's have mentioned, I do get paranoid about being slow, s I type quickly and miss things in proof reading. I will then correct those typos with ((*corrected. (anyone with an issue with this *shrug* your loss, and you probably weren't worth my time to begin with.)
RE: RP Confession Thread - Eses Fafa - 08-11-2015
1. I assume the worst of everyone when it comes to public RP. I never go to RP hubs anymore unless I'm playing an 'unf***able' character. This doesn't mean a character who people can't bang if they try, it's someone they don't WANT to bang, so I can see their true colours.
2. Unless you're Archeage, your noble and military scene means JACK to me. I will immediately dismiss any form of social or military power as I highly doubt several hundreds of people would serve under your asinine lord or commander. If you're a NICE person, I'll treat you the same, and for that, I apologise.
3. In my earlier years in RP, I used to work with others as we messed with the lore to play vampires in WoW..yeah.
4. Hormonal teenage years, oh boy. Those were the days I ERP'd. If ya ask me, I'm not sure whether it's healthy or creepy that one admits to bashing the bishop for another straight man's pixelated visualised literature whilst being underage.
5. I juggle RP guilds in several games, and good lord, does that tick some of them off.
6. I will reference a Team Fortress 2 character at least once every two weeks in RP.
RE: RP Confession Thread - Roen - 08-11-2015
1) When arranging for RP with a player I am not familiar with, I comb through the forums and wiki to see not only what their character is like but also to get an idea of what the player might be like.
2) I generally can't say "no" when people I don't know ask me to RP with them. But that often leave me in the quandry of trying to think up an interesting scene/hook/twist/something/anything for that random encounter. It often delays the actual meeting, some don't even end up happening for whatever reason and I feel bad about it. I should sometimes just tell myself "oh just let it happen, it doesn't have to lead to anything." But as others have mentioned in another RP thread, context is so SO important to me.
3) I have a list of people I want to RP with that I haven't gotten the chance to yet. The list comes from browsing through the RPC where there are players/characters I really want to encounter somehow, and yet I can't think of a proper context in my character's current timeline/story to do so! So... I don't. But I read their IC/OOC posts on the RPC and go "-sigh- someday!"
4) I am horrible about spontaneous open world RP. I used to just walk around Ul'dah in my early days, or read a book in the Quicksand and open myself up to random encounters. Now... everything is scheduled ahead of time. I kind of miss those days, but I also recognize that my character's story is at a point where she doesn't just hang out at a bar. And my online playtime has to be balanced between RP and PvE so, prearranging RP seems to work the best for me.

Confession #13: I sometimes get on alts and do really cancerous emotes like this to make people around me cringe OOCily. I have gotten angry tells. "Wtf, how can you rp, you can't even spell."
I... I take sick pleasure in this.

Oh and one more confession:
5) Sometimes I am waaaaay too self-conscious about leaving rumors on people's wikis. I love DOING it, but I want them to be insightful! Significant! ....Then too many times what I end up leaving does not measure up anywhere near what I had hoped to think up for them.
