[OOC] Annoying things about some RPers in WrA

[weirdtrinity]

So far, but annoyance. This is why I prefer RPing Zain or my well-known chars out of sight, not in the public. It's just a few experiences, but I know most RPers in WrA are wonderful people and had fun RPing in the server. But there's some things that annoy me.

Scenario 1: People responding to me in OOC to what -Zain- has spoken IC.

Ok, I know Zain

In terms of #4, I find if I answer them in a tell, they usually get the hint and start asking their OOC questions in said tell. If they don't, I ask them in the same tell ((Would you mind if we had this OOC conversation in tells? I only use /s for IC conversation. )).

So far, I haven't had anyone get pissed off or refuse.

Scenario 3: Shy people who OOC emote way too much.My favorites are the shy ones who sit in a corner typing long emotes that amount to "S/he sighs, takes a sip of her/his drink and continues looking around the room/reading a book/some other super passive comment

[weirdtrinity]

On #4, usually I do tell people in whispers that we're RPing and don't want to be OOCly bothered but will welcome IC interactions, but in that scenario of that guy just rudely asking about his RP outfit and running off like that, I just... I don't even...

Felt really snubbery and irritating.

I'm okay with shy ones RPing or emoting ICly like that. In fact, my characters are usually extroverted and I get to engage in a walk up RP easily with that like that.

What annoys me are those that go:

Shy person: ((oomg it's ezi)) /targets Ezi *spams /love, /hug, /wave at me, clearly OOCly*

Me: Uh ok? */waves back*

Shy person: ((I would like to RP with you but I'm so shy to!)) *spams /love and /kiss and /hug some more and runs off*

Me: Okay.........? If you're too shy to walk up and interact with me ICly, why are you NOT shy to spam me emo--- Oh she's gone. Damn.

See how annoying it can be? 9_6 blargh!

Hehe, when people do that to me, I remind them via tells that I'm ALWAYS IC in emotes, say and yell, and WILL take whatever they do as IC even if they mean it as OOC because always IC. :D

Sometimes that makes them stop.

[weirdtrinity]

LOL! I should do that from now on.

Dear Exi-

RPing with you really helped me become less shy and derpy about RPing in general. I'm just sad I haven't had more opportunity/time to find you more often.

Thank you :)

[weirdtrinity]

Yes! I'm so glad to have met you and Aellais. You're a fine example of a good RPer! Thanks for helping me with the events too 8)

[mordrainshando]

Aww...Ezi! Dammit, every time I see you I'm OOC.

....I ~think~ that every time I see you I don't do the /hug /love /wtfe thing...mostly cause I hate when people do it to me. But I think I did whisper a hi. XD

[pennadelia]

/hug /love /lick /moan

/fly off

I do that way too much.

[weirdtrinity]

Alliance is okay though since we have no means of communication. XD But Horde? Nonono.

[weirdtrinity]

Yes! And WE MUST RP if we bump into one another again!

[wowclectic]

I haven't seen you yet on WrA! But I'm sometimes oblivious. If I have a reason to say hi OOCly, or at least emote something involving you, I will! I'd have to think on it, though, especially if I'm playing Lucrezia. :D

(Though I confess to some shyness in regard to random RP. Not likely to spam emotes, but I am sometimes slightly creeper in eavesdropping. >.> Even if it's meant innocently and in an, "Ooh I recognize that person!" way.)

[weirdtrinity]

I eavesdrop on other people's RP too XD It's like watching a TV show and you being an audience. I don't mind it at all. I'll most definitely RP with you if our characters ever bump into each other.

I think Scenario #5 about passive-aggression is the only one that really gets under my skin too. It makes me sad that people resort to such things.

In any case, I'm sorry to hear that any of these are affecting you and hopefully some people change their ways after reading it.
