Topic: Roleplaying on IRC, And Why It Is A Sin

I do it. I do it alot. I tried to cut down but it PULLS me back. However, I...dislike many of the other players. Allow me to list a few for your entertainment:

- The Whore: Yes, they only RP busty, red-haired women that wear nothing and are very independent so they can cyber. The reality is it's either a horny girl (widely thought to be a myth) or a man, of indeterminable age.

- The Unique Guy: Much like those that are Emo, Goth or Pretend Hippy, they think that by wearing the clothing that defines those types of people is as clever as Dennis Miller's show in HBO when in reality it's as clever as Star Trek Erotic Fan Fiction. For example, I play an ex-drug addict who suffers from relapse, so not that much of an ex-drug addict who happens to have been in a mildly popular musical group. He spent his youth with his parents and his two siblings. His father was killed as a police officer when he was 16. He joined a gang in highschool, a larger gang when he was older, didn't really learn shit in college (public). So on, so forth. Realistic stuff. (Also, he's Fianna but the setting for the room is the World of Darkness games so I wanted to be Garou. He still has flaws). While every other character is as such:

I got an new idea for a character, he's 6'3, muscular, powerful, likes heavy metal rock and grunge but when he finds his one true love who will be in the Haven, he will be polite with her, but rude to everyone else.

WHOOPS! 50 OTHER FUCKING PEOPLE TOO THAT IDEA! I WILL USE IT ANYHOW! HAHAHAHAH! I LOVE KORN OR SOMETHING ELSE SHITTY!

- The Inconsiderate RPer: This player will leave RPing with you to go RP with someone else. Someone they find my interesting physically, usually. A considerate player would do it IC, as opposed to just stand up and leave. This player needs to be lynch my mutant Irishmen.

'S all I can think of. Add your own.

You need to read the comic Elf Only Inn. Makes me laugh my ass off. I've seen all the types of people mocked in that comic.

Life... is like a box of chocolates. A cheap, thoughtless, perfunctory gift that nobody ever asks for. Unreturnable, because all you get back is another box of chocolates. You're stuck with this undefinable whipped-mint crap that you mindlessly wolf down when there's nothing else left to eat. Sure, once in a while, there's a peanut butter cup, or an English toffee. But they're gone too fast, the taste is fleeting. So you end up with nothing but broken bits, filled with hardened jelly and teeth-crunching nuts, and if you're desperate enough to eat those, all you've got left is a... is an empty box... filled with useless, brown paper wrappers.

Oh, and 99% of the time, this is a guy. We used to have a girl that everyone was hot for, and it turned out it was a guy named Jade.

I don't know where you rp.. but you need to find a new place. The only stuff on your list I've come across in my many years of rp'ing is the big ass angry dude, and that was a long time ago. Most places where I have played recently on IRC those types of characters are ignored.

- The Guy Who Just Dosen't Know What's Going On: You know this guy. He makes you feel GOOD about your random, pathetic newbie days. Say you're in a medieval type setting; he's the one who beams down from his own starship, dispatches an alien assassin as it comes to get him and synthesyzes alien booze for everyone in an attempt to put the tavern out of business. Or in a cyberpunk setting, he's the guy in the cloak with the glowing violet eyes, talking to a floating skull beside him and casting spells left and right. No matter how you explain it to him, he never really quite gets it, or if he does he tries to modify the setting to his own needs. Usually eventually ends up getting banned/kicked out by society, but everyone feels really bad about it because he's not BAD, just dosen't get it.

- Weird Fetish Person: OK, maybe this is a phenomenon unique only to females/female characters. Or maybe it's just me. But occasionally your character gets, cough, romantically involved with another. And occasionally this ends up in the private room session. And sometimes it is only there you find out this otherwise nice and normal person is an UTTER GOD DAMN FREAK who wants you to, like, chew his penis like bubble gum. What the fuck.

- Guy From Another Room: Generally only shows up to plug this other room. Generally stays only long enough for the @'s to take notice and bannify.

- Music Guy: Interrupts RP every five minutes as his script announces he is now listening to ::[Backstreet Boys - Something Generic]::. Won't/can't shut it off. Lasts approximately two days, depending on the room patrons/@'s patience.

- The Actual, Swear to God, Real Life Woman: Identifiable because she plays a female character, but is not a big-breasted slut. Tends to get hit on anyway because she's female. Once people find out she actually is a real woman gains like FIVE BILLION POINTS OF POPULARITY RIGHT THERE. Attracts the Weird Fetish Person like a fucking MAGNET.

I need a new place to RP. And I just whipped up a new cyberpunk character, too...

It has some of those folks but doesn't suck royal cock like many others. Tell me if you join, we can RP someday.

Actual RPing is done in off rooms relevant to the RP, since we've attracted a lot of people who don't RP, and still want to carry on their conversations.
