R.I.P. Zelnor as a RP character. We hardly knew ya.
I can't say that Zelnor is the best of my characters, but the only one I actually devoted time to. Yes, he is based on myself, and I admit that he is a wish fulfillment character, but I try to keep that in check, and I think I wrenched him out of Gary Stu territory and gave believable personal flaws to him - the uncontrollable rage, liability to go emo because of said rage, unseriousness or being overly dramatic to the point of distractedness and being a bit of a Knight Templar.
Nevertheless, not any RP I joined had, until now, held more then about two posts after I went in.
I am the Maya Herrera of RP, and Sylar killed my Alejandro, so we Wonder Twins are split up and I don't have his form of retcon to counter my shape of mass murder.
Hereby, I exile myself from RP to not kill other people's chance at good plot.
Is it my novel style ? Do I write too much, or too little ? Too purple-y ? Is it my sesquipedialian loquaciousness ?
WHAT IS IT ?
I'm sorry about heaving this on you guys, but I did want to open up.
It pisses me off that every RP I enter dies or everyone quits, I never get any plot going if I make one, and the longest one I participated in was "The Digibutter Restaurant"
I'm gonna go re-dream my vivid daydream of the opening "Rising Twilight" would have if it was a real show. I found a song that fits it, and I'd liove to make it but I suck at drawing, animation and patience. |

Dude, pretty much all RP anyone enters dies. It's just the way it is. That's why I stopped RP-ing for a long time. |

Before anyone plays the Elitist card and starts whining UMG UMG ELITISTS RUININ MAH RPS, don't even do it or I'll be forced to put a Drake up your ass. I've heard enough of it, and it's not the cause of all of your problems.
Well Zelnor, I've noticed that you seem t ojoin plots near the end of their lifespan a lot. I'm not saying that's the cause, but it's a trend I hae noticed. |

I didn't even remotely mouth the word ELITIST because I have no freaking clue in what way that applies to RPing here.
Your comment is appreciated nonetheless.
And did I ? Weird...
Maybe they live only 9 hours ? In that case, it's my old nemesis Timezones... *fiddles with space-time distorted* WE SHALL SEE ABOUT THAT ! ENERGY ! |

Wasn't talking about you. It's just that most topics like this garner posts about people complaining about RP Elitists.
And timezones most likely have something to do with it, as well. You miss a lot of plot activity due to them. |

People always accuse certain members of only RPing with eachother and taking the attention of everyone else away from their own plots, or that they get ignored. |

Every thread I entered or made in GameFAQs' forums died, so don't fret.
I joked about it and named myself the "Killer of Topics".
Don't let it get to you. |

You seem to write in a very descriptive novel style with many metaphors, and other literature stuff that can sometimes be hard to understand. In formal rps, you excel in pushing the plot forward. In the rp style of digibutter, It's a bit excess. I personally love your style, and your an amazing writer, but it just doesn't quite work with digi.
BTW, You should do a remake of that digibutter reality thing I did a year ago. That was the best cragging rp I've ever done. |
