I've been reading through the in character and I've noticing that you're making posts that lead up to pretty much nothing and I just wanted to take the time to say something, don't worry it isn't horrible :3
I've noticed that you have only just joined yesterday? And you seem to be posting pretty much like I did when I joined. I found it awkward roleplaying with those who had been on the sight longer than me purely because I felt they had more experience and plus, were better writers than myself. It's something you ease into, and I wouldn't have stayed if I didn't enjoy it here or find everybody here pretty cool.
Usually, people on this site don't actually like roleplaying with those that make filler posts with no character interaction. Posts that portray the character to be a huge social introvert who just WILL NOT talk to anyone. That isn't something anyone can work with, and will deter people from interacting with the character. In my experience, users who have done that are very quick to leave the roleplay without a second thought either because they didn't enjoy it or they felt as though they just weren't welcome. I don't want that to happen to you.
As everyone here knows, character interaction is necessary to roleplay. And you need to do it, otherwise it's more of a one-sided roleplay and nobody likes that.
There's a lot of us in this roleplay, find someone to communicate with. No one here will turn you away if you asked, or just sent your character their characters way. None of us here are like that.
Essentially, if the effort is made on your behalf then the same effort will be given to you by others. Throw yourself out there, make your character go and talk to people. Because from my experience, if you don't do that then you won't find it enjoyable. And that's the most important thing.
I do hope I didn't overstep my mark or say anything out of line, but there you go. c:
I thank you for your advice but i must inform you ive been doing this stuff off and on since 2012. Not to alarm you or be any way mean just to inform. Its hard typing and thinking when i have to watch a child of 2 1/2 running around. So therefore my posts may be a bit ... short. What i do is called a set up line with in multiple posts. I do this so my character can find things out and not for me to assume for her that this person is here and so on and on. Character knowledge is different from player knowledge. If any one plays D&D will agree with me.HuorSpinks said:That was very good advice, and oh so true. To me, the best part about forum roleplaying is the character interactions. Otherwise you might as well just work on your own story.
At the same time, it is not impossible to play characters who are recluses or social introverts. Like my two characters in this roleplay for example. Lloyd is extremely introverted to the point that he pretty much wanders around alone or holed up in his office barely interacting with people. The main reason why he is forced to interact with others is because he's a Guild Master. Lysander is extremely shy to the point that he pretty much stands around and watches everybody else interact without joining in, unless someone invites him in. Yet these two characters still get a decent amount of character interaction, and even a budding romance in Lysander's case.
Usually, what I do with introverted characters is have my first post in each new scene to be a solo post, that is, my character pretty much enters the scene and does nothing except think and observe. And then after that, I make it a point to tag at least one person in each subsequent post. That's pretty much a personal rule of mine in any roleplay I take part in.
