Especially when you've been playing the character for like, ever, right.

It's just like CAN I JUST SHOW YOU WHAT I HAVE DONE -- actually, writing out the history irritates me more.

... I am just a lazy person. /horrible rper

BUT MY FIRST AND THIRD SAMPLES ARE ALWAYS MY STRONGEST PART OF THE APP

idk, you can feed back canon information without much trouble, but it takes a lot to write your own thing?

HOWEVER, EVERYTHING ELSE I AGREE WITH 100%

HAHA tbh, to me, you can't really gauge how good a person will play a character based on those, because majority of the roleplaying will be interactions via the network anyway? So I prefer taking on a more . . . interactive way of sample-apping. Interview style, or the sample app itself is modeled like an interview. :|b Better way to see if the person has grasp on the voice or not because you see their reactions to certain things.

ALSO, everyone can be good writers, but some people will suck at playing the character itself. I've seen it happen sob.

oh yeah, that does make sense :( interview would be more effective gauging a character's voice, though it's still good to show your writing skills?

but. maybe not two samples apps.

where did that trend come from anyway.

All of the above, and tossing in: Lack of AU.

I don't mind log samples all that much (I hate first person ones though), but it almost feels like there are no AU universe games any more, and no OC+Canon characters, or canon-OC friendly games. Granted, a lot of them suck but that's what proper research is for.

But yeah, that. :3;

I miss AU roleplays, too. But it almost feels like most AU roleplays need a decent playerbase that WILL stick to it, otherwise it falls apart a lot easier than canon games? Just something I've noticed ffff.

shahni September 15 2009, 02:43:08 UTC
Yeah, that's the problem with them (which is why most of my AU stuff has remained in private RP or just spam) but damn would it be nice to see some adaptation, trying to keep the characters recognizable while giving them different development. Of course a majority of these suck (a lot of school RPGs come to mind) but the ones I've been in have mostly if not always been good because of good players.

Am also incredibly sick of neverending games that allow no character impact on the environment. ):

HAHA, when I think of awesome highschool AUs, I think of Evernoir, but that is long dead and gone. And yeah, AUs are like a double-edged swords (like canon games, I guess), it all depends on what kind of playerbase you get? LUCK OF THE DRAW, etc.

ARGH JESUS CHRIST I KNOW, it's like hi I know you love your plot and world and everything, but UH CAN'T WE, THE PLAYERS, HAVE SOME SORT OF CONTROL OVER IT TOO? It's like we can be pretty innovative with how we mess things up and are willing to compromise, JUST DON'T SHOOT US DOWN so fast. :(

uh god let's see

i think mostly the lack of canon powers thing really gets on my nerves. i can't stand journal-based games either BUT AT IS A SPECIAL CASE. at could kill babies and i'd still love it. mmmmmmmmn... npcs that only interact with certain characters and ignore everyone else or play obvious favorites or w/e but that's just in games in general. god idk a lot of shit.

log samples don't bother me so much except i get pissed as fuck when they're like "10 SENTENCE MINIMUM" for first person samples god fuck you fuck you fuck youuuuuuuuuuu i'm not going to sacrifice icness for your bullshit minimum

HAHA, I can't stand journal-based games too, because community-based just makes things so much more organized/easier to find shit, but YEAH AT WILL ALWAYS BE THE EXCEPTION FOREVER AND EVER MORE because it's AT, wth. And hahahaha, list out all the shit. I wanna hear 'em.

I never understood putting a minimum on like, first person samples? It's like . . . what happens when you roleplay a mute. How do you make them talk? What if you play them like they can't talk AT ALL? :|

griefer September 15 2009, 02:46:12 UTC
I CAN'T EVEN SPECIFICALLY THINK OF EVERYTHING THOUGH. most of it is just rp stuff in general that gets on my nerves and isn't specific to just new games sob. i have so much inner rage about rp sometimes.

I KNOW RIGHT. some bitches just don't fucking talk a lot. it doesn't mean the person can't play them/isn't playing them right? in fact, forcing someone to write more than they need to is just going to make them look ooc anyway GOD IT JUST FLKASLFKDKL *RIPS*

WELL WHEN IT COMES TO YOU, HAHA. I've been bitten by the rp-making bug so hard, so I'm kinda wanting to make a new game, and want to avoid shit as much as I could. )o) ME TOO, HUBBY, don't you see me ranting about it everyday lololol.

HAHA like the antisocial fuck-ups of society bawww. And sometimes some people just THINK more than they talk, why can't those thoughts count? :( Stupid dumb standards. THIS IS WHY I kind of like the interview way of sample-apping because then you can . . . as much as you'd like HAHAHAFlkajfa. But not too much, I guess, because that's cheating.
