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. |

Yeah I think the whole thing is that people are taking it too seriously, for me personally it is just fun, I enjoy doing my roleplays and yeah maybe I do too many but it is only a game and for me it's just like something for me to lose myself in after a days work. |

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. |

well i know im crap at RP-ing but i am new never done it before so learning - i cant create great pics covers tags like others can and i work 6 days a week shift work from 9am morn til 1am night so dont have much freetime pop along when i can to do updates, i havent made the band superstars i've tried to work it up but when no input or replies to a thread i did think i may as well give it up, but i know i'm crap at it so wont get read but its just something i do for fun and a chill out after work / between shifts. i have been contemplating just sticking to the game and not rp-ing and i think after i fulfilled my commitments with another member i shall be doing that after reading through this thread |

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. |

jesus...... f**king christ....
im only going to say this once... no personal attacks on other members.
right now thats out of the way... its a game... its a small online forum with an rp section in it attached to a SMALL online game.....
its a GAME... stop getting so worked up about it everyone. Who cares if someone only has five minutes a day to blast out a short rp, if thats what makes them happy, then let them be happy, does it really make your lives that much worse that there are people rping the way they want to rp and not the way you want them to? leave them alone, let them do what they want to, you go and do what you want to, and maybe the bitch fights will stop? this is why i stear clear of the rp forum, its filled full of cocks who think that their way is the best way, and that if other people who actually have lives don't put the same amount of effort into it, then they should be shouted at and bullied into leaving! and you wonder why its a small community nowadays.
grow up, accept other peoples ways of doing things, and if you can't do that.... then move on. |
I hate it when people see me at the supermarket and they are like: Hey, what are you doing here? and im just like: Oh you know, hunting elephants |

glad to see you think its a laughing matter...
as i said, leave people alone, don't force them out because they rp in a way differently to yourselves.... If it annoys you, ignore them. If this is such a hard concept to grasp, god knows how you function in the real world. |
