Hello dear friends and family, gentlenerds and stunning ladies.
It's this day of the week again: Kellys personal ranting and rambling time! Ohhhh yeah. But don't worry. It's nothing too bad. Maybe it's an advice from someone who could be all of you kids big sister. So sit your butts down it is officially story time now!
How to survive the rpr-calypse
- First of all, what is the rpr-calypse? It's easy. It's the phenomenon of people rp-hopping, claiming characters and then leaving after only a day. As an admin, this can be super frustrating and some admins simply give up. Or like me, people give up making rps completely. Shame on us.
The thing is, it's part of a bigger thing happening. It's not about the rp , or bad, or the people being rude.
It's about people being sensitive as . What I mean is the following and please don't throw a fit or a tantrum or a chair at my face before carefully reading this: Back in my day, chatrooms weren't a thing. They just WEREN'T. If they were there at all, people rarely used them. Now, all the action is in the chatrooms. It's normal, because socializing is super easy there- --- if you follow certain rules.
Rule number 1: Don't be sensitive about people ignoring you.
Rule number 2: Don't be sensitive about people ignoring you.
Rule number 3: Tag someone if you wanna talk to them.
Rule number 4: If someone is TRYING to interact with them, don't ignore them just because they aren't this ONE PARTICULAR PERSON you want to talk to.
Yeah, yeah, I know it's easier said than done, but actually it's not.
I've been there, I am still there. Sometimes I get super touchy because I feel like I don't belong, but you know what? it. It's not just about being the super popular kid, ok? But it doesn't help the case if I come into a chatroom, write "curls up in my corner" and expect everybody to flock towards me like moths to a candle. It's not how it works. You have to be able to socialize too and not sit there and expect other people to throw themselves at you.
It's not possible, it's not going to happen.
The second phenomenon of the rpr-calypse is the cliques. Do I consider myself part of one? Kinda... not really? Maybe?
Sometimes I do, because if I happen to be in a rp with people I know from previous rps, I tend to talk to them a lot. It's not really being part of a clique. And under this category we can find something very interesting too. Userchasing? Aahhh yes. It happens. Never happened to me because, well, lets face it, there are people out there who write essays on rpr my literature professor would have MURDERED for. I am not one of those people because I'm lazy and I am mostly on mobile. If I am not on mobile you might catch me writing a bit better.
How to help other people survive the rpr-calypse
The following guidelines will help us all to survive in a harsh world of online zombies.
1 - talk to people you don't know for a change, that would be great.
2 - actually? Don't ignore someone who makes an effort to talk to you when you're saying you're lonely in a chatroom
3 - your characters aren't you, don't forget that. There is a line between ic and ooc and it's there for a reason.
4 - selective replies are ok, I do it too sometimes when I'm short on time. But dropping a rp without a warning is super uncool
5 - user shaming . End of story
6 - three days in a rp and still single? OH WOW. Don't ing leave the rp without rping and actually giving it a chance. That would be great.
(Whoooops I sound super salty but I swear I'm not! I'm a fluffball according to others eheeem)
THE FOLLOWING HAPPENS EVERY 1639309865 YEARS
