Am I one of the shity role players people keep talking about? I wont take it personal im just curious.

I think everyone needs to get off of their high horse to be honest. Everyone is talking about who is good and who sucks. That really doesnt help anyone at all. Instead of criticizing people, why dont the older, more experienced members offer advice to the "sucky" RPers instead of bitching about them.

At the end of the day....it's just a game.

Here is my advice...

When your first starting out, dont try and act like your band or artist already the hippest thing around. People dont like it, it can leave your RPs unread and its more fun to start with nothing and build up to something.

Try and describe your artists more clearly. Each album, try and describe every song to the best of your knowledge of music and never review your own releases.

Your characters have lives - write your RPs like you are writing a short book about your characters, one chapter at a time. I took this to the next extreme and literally did write a book about my characters. (currently writing a sequel too - free publicity!)

Get involved, fighting with other bands or being best buds is a great story element that is missing heavily right now especially if you are signed to a label! You should boast that your label rocks and all others suck. Fight with the other labels artists and stuff like that. Always keep it in character though, OOC should not carry into roleplay.

Last but the most important - Its cheesy, but just have fun. Thats the main point.

I was trying to say what they said but I got caught up in the Britneyknox case.

I'm not the greatest RPer ever. I have been doing RP for several years, but I'm better at live action type RP where it is like a scene from a movie where multiple people are involved and it isn't just the story of your character. On here I always have ideas for albums or things I can have my band do. I know there are people here who are better, but what gives me a lack of motivation to RP is that I never get any feedback in my RPs. Sometimes someone has a response, but generally I just find I'm posting over myself. I just don't see the purpose in RP if you're the only participant.

In general though, I think we need new ideas. In a nutshell everyone here does the same thing. They have some artists, some have better bios and backgrounds then others. But all of them put out albums and singles, and most do interviews and go on tour. I think that might be why people never get anything replied to, because you can skim a post and from that find out that it's just another post about how someone has a new album, and you see no need to reply.

Maybe it's me, but isn't it more fun to write about a really fucking shitty band struggling to make ends meet and driving around in a third hand Ford Transit van to play gigs in front of 18 people who only came because their mates band were also on the lineup? Coz I dunno, that interests me a lot more than bling and success all that shite.

Don't see how it would.

I don't really have any interest in successful bands. It's boring and cliched.

Quoted for the mother fucking truth.
