I've really been wondering...am I a bad roleplayer? Is there something I do that makes people not want to rp with me? I mean, my vocabulary isn't the most expansive and I do try my best, but is there something I'm doing wrong? I'm pretty patient for replies, I've sometimes waited for about a month for a reply, on some occasions, longer, even when I see the other person is online and rping with other people. I wait at least two weeks before reminding someone about our roleplay and I don't do it extensively. There are times when I think a roleplay is doing pretty good, but then the other person stops replying momentarily -for however long they need for RL things, which is totally understandable. However, when I give a reminder, I get told 'Oh you're still here! I'm back now and will get to your reply as soon as I can' or something along the lines of that. So, I wait...and wait. When curiosity gets the best of me and I stalk their walls (I think everyone stalks others at some point), they're roleplaying with other people. Out of courtesy, I ask if they would like to stop roleplaying or would like to continue...yet again, I'm passed over.
For my characters...most times, my characters are total romantic saps. Yet...that causes my characters to constantly be messed around with and cheated on. It got so bad that out of 25 roleplays, maybe only 4 or 5 were not in the midst of either breaking up or going through a divorce. Yes, IC drama is good, but really to get played like three times in one rp is just ridiculous. Anyways, I figured since my characters are always the nice guys being screwed over, I decided to make my character a jerk. That didn't work out either.
As I'm sure it has happened to everyone, yes I forget to reply...a lot of times actually, but when I don't get a reply, I check and if it's my fault, I apologize and reply. I tend to think out my reply, get distracted and leave the character page after I thought I replied. I've even tried thinking I clicked on 'post' but didn't and exited the page.
All in all though...if I've roleplayed with you and we stopped for whatever reason...honestly, am I a bad roleplayer? Am I doing something wrong when I rp? I do my best to think up good replies and to give quick replies. I try to do my best with my vocabulary and have even looked up ways to try and make myself a better roleplayer. Am I still doing something wrong?
Now...it's after 3am so i'm going to pass out now
