Over the summer I noticed that alot of people were roleplaying angain and I thought that people were acctally going to start RP'ing on a normal day basis. Now the RP section has nothing new. I go to school during the day and when I come on after school there is useually only 1-5 new posts. So idk what so you guys think about the inactiveness??

Because certain members are getting silly and it annoyed me to the edge and I fell off. You know who you are. Seems like some members have more than 1.....

AND.............. I lost interest in the game. This is more of a kiss users ass RP game than a rock star life game.

I'm sick of whining about the same thing over and over but that's just my take on it.

BLAH.......

I agree, when i returned, i read some of these new threads and posts by ppl, and it's all flocked with some noobs who already proclaim to be the greatest and it's not even written to well. I mean, i'm no great RP'er, but at least i had some diversity in my work.

I've been trying to build my band up and get some collaborations going on and so on. I've been participating in the All Around the World contest and I would really love to work with anyone. So I guess I fall into Stephaniewazhere's category of why RP is so dead. If anyone would like to try and make a collaborative RP, Musical Collective(think Bomb the Music Industry!) or maybe a Rock Supergroup or something.

Tottally agree, with you. When I started this game in 2007 it was the shit. Now a bunch of wack ass people just joined the game. And created these wack ass non-realistic, or ideal characters. So it makes the game a little lame. But there are some people who still make it a bit fun. But not like it used to be because of the lame ass characters they create.

I dont know how strong my RPing is.. I honestly think I suck at RPing but I agree that alot of noobs need to take their bands more slowly because I have noticed that alot of people try to make their brand new band the worlds new greatest thing sinced sliced bread but Idk thats just me. I would like some feedback though on my RPing to know if I suck at it, because I really would like to know if im one of the crappy RPers that people are talking about

Because no one bothers to approach it with even a fucking trace of optimism. This thread being one example.

I think I've said before that I think part of the problem is that people complain when it suddendly slows down and too many people are like oh it's not like it once was so what that's life you just get on with it or just stop playing completely (It's like if there was a season 3 of the office UK version.)
Also Not everyone can get on here and right a brand new roleplay on a daily basis, I try to roleaplay as often as I can and I try to make my characters as realistic as I can, the most successfull song by one of my characters was Stacey Waltons A Tender Kiss and that was only because people voted for it to get it to number 2.
I've never known if I was any good at roleplaying but over the summer people seem to have give me positive feedback and I think there's been som really good roleplays over the past couple of months and I know what your saying about the noobs being unrealistic with things i.e Brittany Knox I don't mean to be nasty because your actually a pretty decent roleplayer but with a debut album at number 4, it's just not realistic but I guess people don't like to develop their characters over time into successes and maybe your thinking well your newest character Stacey Walton had a number 2 single (again it was voted for by other people on here so I had no real say in it) Her debut album won't be in the top 10 and certainly not number 4.
Anyway that's what I think, now don't go fucking crazy on me for voicing my opinion.

I also agree with Synxhard about the lack of optimism in it, I know I've written a couple of stuff and he's given some constructive critisism which I've tried to take on board and I know he's done that for a couple of the newer members too and I think that's what's maybe needed by more people, if a new person comes on and makes a roleplay, help them improve, give them tips.

Also I'm aware I created a similar thread but that was more about how to get things going again and that was when it was really becoming dead, now I don't think it is so bad really.

Well it is what it is. People will complain when things gets wack. There is no room for optimism because there is hardly any newbies who aren't going to be biased. This whole thing just sounds stupid because it's just a game.

Brittanyknox and Moquel (and two other users) have obviously been here before and are both pretending to be new users. No one can possibly pick up the game that fast and have certain respect for certain users. I noticed other members too, so that is what started throwing me off. Those two 'new' users also have similarities to another two users(not going to call you out). You are both a joke in a my book. I don't care what anybody says I know they are not new users. I already experimented that with Green Leaf with Bikz approval (at this point it doesn't matter bikz).


I don't know if i will return to RP period. I just lost inspiration and interest completely. Maybe that will turn around. But as off now I don't see that happening.

It's just a game, and people have lives outside of it. The reason that so many people were posting during the summer was because (obviously) there was no school, and people just had alot more free-time on their hands. Now, with the free-time that they have left, the people who are still in school have to balance time between homework and spending time with friends. I'm one of them, and I'd honestly hang out with people rather than pretend to be a rock-star.

I wouldn't really say that RP is 'dead', though. I've noticed that this forum goes through periodic slumps, where people just have a lack of interest (or time) to post. It'll pick up again soon, I'm sure; all it really takes is a couple of great roleplays for people to get interested again. In the end, though, it's just agame... activity on it increases and decreases on a monthly basis. I dunno, just my opinion.
Kid Anything- Indie/Britpop/Shoegaze; influenced by Sigur Ros, XXYYXX, Kanye West, Blur, Oasis

(Bringing together an eclectic group of influences, Ulysses' songs are sung with carefree abandon by Nick Junk)

Kurt Ulysses - Songwriter, Guitarist, Backup Vocalist
Nick Junk - Vocals, Mojo



Infinite- Alternative/Experimental Rock; influenced by Muse, Radiohead, and The Beatles

(Known best for their experimental music and their frontman's eccentric behavior, the band disbanded after Eric Quillington's death to pursue solo careers or, in Matt Robert's case, peace of mind. Infinite released four albums over the course of their career; Blue Nebula, Midnight Skies, Insomnia, and Dancing about Architecture.)

Eric Quillington (Deceased) - Lead Vocals, Lead Guitar, Piano, Primary Lyricist
Matt Roberts - Bass
Greg Oldson - Drums, Backup Vocals, Secondary Lyricist

"When asked 'how do you write?' I invariably answer, 'one word at a time', and this answer is invariably dismissed. But that's all it is. It sounds too simple to be true, but consider the Great Wall of China, if you will: one stone at a time, man. That's all. One stone at a time. But I've read you can see that motherfucker from space without a telescope."

I signed up before but only posted once or twice in the actual "roleplay" section. I forgot the password to my old account so I signed up again. I might be one and sorry if I am?

Because people are not roleplaying.

People write pretend articles and interviews, with others mysteriously replying to an article.

Also, I don't participate. Which lowers the Cool with huge amounts.

I see a lot of people really have a lot to say about me here -don't get me wrong no one is going "fucking crazy"- I thought I could say this though. People really like calling my name out, lets be mature and if you have a personal problem with someone -not saying you guys do- you talk that out with THEM. You don't go around on a forum discussion and call out people. This is a GAME. So let me join the calling out. For person number 1 - we are allowed to play our character the way we want to PLAY them. If I want to shoot Knox all the way up to number 1 - who cares! It is the way I want to play her and it makes my experience fun. Its not all about you even though I do not agree with what you said on how I'm being unrealistic. If you do not respect that or find it "realistic" talk it up with me. Don't call me out on a non-personal debate/discussion/topic nor make subliminal messages. We don't want to kill the "forum family". And for the next person, you may say what you want, I do not care. I know I'm a new member, I know it! So why do I have to prove it to you? I don't have to. But since you have so much negative things to say about me I will enlighten you because you are pretty sure I'm not a new member.


I AM FAMILIAR WITH RPING. Not musical industry role playing but a different role playing. That being efedding -wrestling role playing- and that is very familiar to this type of role playing. While being there, yes, I did play with Brittany Knox. Thats why in her bio it reads she was a wrestler going into music. I roleplayed as a wrestler, not music star but wrestler. THATS exactly why I know so much about roleplaying so no I'm not new to roleplaying but I AM new to this type of rp as well as the forum. Believe me or not? Don't really care.


If I'm making it so un fun for you then guys then I will leave. I love it here and I want to play along and have fun with everyone but I am not liked and it really makes me feel bad that its all over my character. I didn't mean for this to happen and I'm a generally nice person. But this? This is crazy. If you look at this thread and another thread on here, my name is being brought up left and right, but negatively! I'm an active character here with Brittany Knox, and I dont see why I feel uncomfortable posting something for her and being totally knocked down by what I've done whether it be OOC or not -doesn't really matter as much in character since its a GAME-.

Forum Rules

2. No persistent unwarranted abuse, while debating and discussion is fine, we will not tolerate rudeness, insulting posts, personal attacks or purposeless inflammatory posts. ie. bullying.
The definition of bullying here should be obvious, but in some cases a person will perceive a heated discussion with bullying. So there should be a distinction between attacking a person and attacking an idea. This should be flexible of course, to allow for playful insults between friends and the like.

So what I'm DOING 'C4AJohn' is btw defending myself not going crazy. Thank You, also.
