2:00am and can't sleep ... clearly the solution is to haunt an empty forum.
Here are a few confessions.
1) I have a weakness for well written prose. While I am aware that it has minimal value in MMO RP, I still get giddily happy when I see someone turning words into art.
2) I am a natural paragraph RPer. Now I can adapt myself to work well at much quicker RP speeds, but if I happen to run across someone who indulges my paragraph addiction I will take complete advantage. Back in Wow, I once wrote an emote that was four paragraphs long and didn't contain a single word of dialog or internal thoughts. The entire response was composed of shifting expressions and gesture, described in extreme detail. I am both proud and ashamed of this feat.
3) I am extremely nervous about sending people /tells and even more nervous about asking people to RP in linkshells. I constantly worry that people will find me clingy, annoying, or rude, and the longer that I sit there thinking about it the worse it gets. After many failed starts, I have discovered that the only way for me to actually send a tell is to typeitoutsuperfastandhitenterwithoutthinkingtwice.
Unfortunately this has lead to the /tell and run phenomenon, which some of you may be familiar with.....
4) The /tell and run phenomenon: When Klynzahr logs onto the game and instantly fires off a /tell, containing some random question and really strange typos, to some poor other RPer, who is probably either afk or already RPing. Then she promptly looses her nerve and vanishes into a dungeon for the next hour, making it impossible for them to reply and ask her what "Goos EVening! :-d" was supposed to mean.
If you have been a victim of these, my apologies. I'm slooooowly getting better at it.Â
