Other Tell me your worst RP moments... for science.

[Fire At Will]

We've all had them; those horrible moments when you realize you regret everything you've ever done. Your hopes were so high only to be dashed by someone who clearly did not care one bit! Let's have it all out, for therapeutic purposes.

I'll go first.

• Recently I spent three days PMing someone, going back and forth, bouncing ideas and everything was going really well. We both seemed excited about the setting we were brewing together, I was pumped! I found someone who liked the pairing and setting, offered their own take on what should happen, gave freely and even offered to go first. Then came the opener... or, not. A week passed without an opening post. I poked and was like, hey, I can do the opener if you don't want to ... Another few days have passed and still no response. Worst part is I can see that they're active. #Ghosted
• When I first started RPing the site I was on was for teenagers and there was this one forum called The Dance Hall where you could potentially find a romantic interest for your character... no one wanted to dance with me. Q____Q I'm pretty sure I was the only one who never got responded to.

Hmm, I think the worst one I can remember was the time my partner and I came up with a plot idea together only for her to completely change it into something else within the first couple of posts. I'm not talking about the plot progressing with time, I am talking the plot changing SO MUCH that my main character wasn't even a part of the story anymore by the next few posts! Lol Once I gave up and rolled with it the rp became pretty amusing. I esentially stopped caring and the whole thing became the biggest melodramatic mess I've ever been a part of.

 

[blunderingbibliophile]

Hmm, I roleplayed with someone for months, but when I started working more and didn't have so much time to be on, they became rude and toxic, blaming me and cussing me out. It was awful. I had to delete that Tumblr completely to get away.

The worst I can remember was just a super extra and embarrassing moment I had. I used to rp on a forum when I was in highschool. I made this huge and ridiculous story line that my beautiful perfect goodey to-shoes angel of a character found out she was dying of cancer after being in a coma and I could've very well just slapped on a million more k-drama tropes to her.

There was a scene where I gathered multiple people and we all RP'd about me breaking the news. While we rp'd we were all chatting on MSN and we were just laughing our asses off with how ridiculous everything was and how other people who were reading the RP on the forum were getting emotional over it. All the while, on the inside I was embarrassed to the point of no return having made just a dumb character with x, y, z and more just because I wasn't creative enough to actually give her personality. I'm so embarrassing even writing this LOL.

i was having a really good roleplay with someone! for two days. then, they said, i'm at my limit for roleplays, and they ditched me.

also, i've been roleplaying with someone, and i've been waiting for their response for a while now, and i see that they have been joining other roleplays, and they say to me, "im so stressed wih school that i can't really respond to ANYONE right now." it make me kind of upset to see that they were lying to me the whole time.

I was actually just telling some one about this... I was in a rp once where we all got marooned in the jungle and I was rp'ing two siblings. We lost a lot of players early on and the other three that were left were already friends.

So they had already pre set relationships with all of their characters, and every one came in to the rp with a mate. But I wasn’t in on it. All the other people just broke in to there 1x1 rp's and no one would interact with me. I couldn’t mate my two characters... and either way that’s not fun. So I just left.

*has a montage-like flashback with bring me to life playing in the background*

There was one time where I was in a group RP with a pretty cool premise on a different site years ago. The characters made were all so real, developed and whatnot. But alas, a character appeared among the players, and their character seemed like it was built for a really bad drama anime fanfic. Once the character entered, it only caused so much inconvenience. I mean, inconvenience and struggles are a norm in a story, but they did it in a way where it was badly handled and it seemed like the character was only made to purely be pitied. Like, the character was so tragic yet "perfect" to the point where it crossed into mary-sue territory, and the story eventually had to revolve around that character's teen pregnancy and other plethora of serious situations that were handled badly.

It was such a long time ago though so it doesn't really come across my mind as much and the details are a blur. But boy, it was hell at the time (for me anyway haha).

 

[rae2nerdy]

Well let's see I think the most awkward and nope nope nope do not want. do not internet. moments were

A. When some "woman" who had a fetish for like jessica rabbit style female characters being tied up and humiliated sexually by her partners. ( i mean "she" wanted me to write such characters for "her." )

So the first time this comes up is in a really bonkers magical girl roleplay with the likes of Draco Malfoy, Squiward, and Edward Cullen all teaming up with Rose from Golden Girls to fight an Evil Furby Doll and Save Disney Princesses. I might have been a little high on cough meds when I came up with the plot.

Anyway she is the only one to show any interest so I'm all excited. She first asks if they can all be female characters. I'm like yeah sure I am starting to try to figure out off the wall female characters to make when she starts talking about the bad guy.

Like can it be a furby wearing a jessica rabbit suit? And I'm like...???? Do you know what a furby is? I link.

She's like cool cool but I want the bad guy to be Jessica Rabbit. I'm like...I mean I guess?

Then she goes on about how Jessica Rabbit basically made all the disney princesses into her sexual slaves. And I'm like at this point.. No this isn't an ERP. But she keeps pushing. All this is just for fun teehee. Don't you like big boobies teehee. Which is why I put "she" in scare quotes. I'm not saying it wasn't a woman. I'm just saying if it was she has some really misogynistic views on other women. (I'm also about 99% it was a teen boy or a really perverted man)

Anyway eventually I'm like. Ya know what this ain't gonna work.

So I block her and move on. So eventually I lose the account I was on and made a new one. I create a new search, this time just a general one, where I go into all my dealbreakers.

This bish comes at me in the PMs all - what does it mean by no erotic content? I'm like..[explains what erotic content is]. She's like ugh but that's so prudish what if I want my characters to kiss or fool around. Like thanks for wasting my time.

I'm like. Bish. Bish you contacted ME. da fuck?

------------------------------

B. Was less creepy. But like we're making a roleplay about a human going to monster school. My first character is like a RA which is a skeletal cat familiar. It has no gender but they're like can it be a female. I'm like..I mean sure. It's a skeletal cat so I don't see how it matters how it perseveres it's gender.

Then they're like also could you make a second werewolf character that likes to pet my character and wants to like sniff him in class.

0.0 Um no? Also I think we should stop roleplaying.

Reminds me of the time this guy who worked at a camp for disabled kids wanted to rp some underage romance. I noped so fast.

Yeah. I would too. I mean honestly situation B was a nice enough guy. I actually tried to roleplay with him a few times with VERY FIRM rules about ERP. It was like we would always get so close. Then he just couldn't help himself for going the creepy route. Like my dude. We talked about this.

A on the other hand was a toxic nightmare of a person that I told all of my friends to block immediately. I don't know which offended me more. The creepy jessica rabbit sex slave kink. Or the fact that "she" had the nerve to contact me and then complain i wasted "her" time by not immediately caving to her demands.

Whoa that’s crazy dude

Yeah. I mean it takes the cake of worst experience in roleplaying. On the upside I don't think I'll ever find anyone worse. Which is a blessing because some of the horror stories I've heard about people stalking others across platforms are genuinely distressing. Miss Jessica Rabbit Fetishist was just Epic Levels of Creepy.

I had an instance where I was trying to RP the roleplay, and then their character went off and did something else, and then they kinda just begun spinning some elaborate tale involving their character. What’s the point in us RPing if my character is not included at all?
It was like watching them write a book (((((((:

Yeah I had this happen before. Even weirder? When I brought it up in a nice round about way.

Geek - "So yeah this post is really nice and informative but my character can't respond. Can you maybe try to put them in a position that my character can interact with next time"

They pretty much say outright "Oh I know. I wrote that deliberately to see how long it would take you to say anything. I like to write my character as anti-social and self absorbed and see how my partners deal with it."

Not word for word. But that was essentially their sentiment.

Which in retrospect should probably have made me leave immediately. Because it's a really rude way of looking at things. Like I'm going to make a character I know won't interact with yours, not mention it, and just wait for you to get so frustrated you say something.

Wow, I don’t even have words for that.
That’s actually shocking!

 

[a r i e s]

I was in a group RP where the character my OC was pursuing tried to juggle my character and someone else's. The other person's character was already taken, but that didn't stop her from flirting back. The way the story was planned out there was no way for my character to know that, so I just had to watch.

 

[Iamkingdomhearts1000]

Always going off on my own trying to improve my character when it sometimes goes against the rules and stories of the RP, a very bad habit of mine.

A potential player somehow made their SPECIES OP
Another RPer tried to bring Mass Effect-esque elements into a sword and bow fantasy RP

Birdsie Tell them about the godslayer in yours

 

[Birdsie]

Someone made - two times in a row - an attempt at creating godslaying (or 'witchslaying' in the second case,) characters in my Fantasy roleplay. The sheer amount of overpowerdness in the "Physical" section of the character sheet made my eyes burn.

 

[SandraDeelightful]

When someone made their character a magic cat in a very realistic roleplay. I didn't think I would need to specify that there was no magic in the RP.

 

[Rage Incarnate]

I mean...i love cats and all but...neko. 'Nough said.
-Sobs uncontrollably in rememberance.-

Probably that time I encountered this nice sci fi RP about aliens infiltrating Earth and assimilating into the government. I was feeling some stuff, and decided to let it out in the form of this character who supported the aliens and was whisked off to their home planet to join the fight. So, one other person besides me and OP joins in and we begin discussing how the early plot is gonna go down. Then the other two start discussing sexy stuff. I'm all like "Okay, hold on, this is getting a little wild, don't you think?". And then OP defends his case by linking me to an 18+ RP site. Blissfully ignoring the fact that I state right on my profile that I am underage. So, anyways, we talk a little more about things, both sexy stuff and not, and then RPN deletes the original thread, for what should now be obvious reasons. So, we start talking about actual stuff pertaining to the RP... For all of one day, at least. Then it's back to discussing how the alien biology could allow my character to copulate with the aliens. Eventually someone got tired of the RP and left, and that was my signal to get the hell outta there.

Remember kids, at least check to see if the guy you're talking to is of age before talking about stuff like this.

See I’m gonna go the gross but obvious route and say I don’t think the person talking to you CARED that your underage.

Might have been a feature not a bug in their wanting to discuss those things with you tbh.

which is obviously gross but sadly likely. Especially if you told them go stop/your age and they didn’t do so.

some of those types get off making other people uncomfortable.

like the perverted version of teenagers try to one up each other in who can get under the most people’s skin and then laugh it off as a “joke”

As illustrated very well by the post above this one.

It’s entirely possible the person was looking for people who where younger or less experienced go make them uncomfortable as a part of some kind of kink or sick trolling.

In my experience the tasteful kind of erotica usually comes with a lot of warning and discussion of everyone’s respective comfort levels. And if you say your not interested they shrug and move on.

 

[crumbelivable]

Well, to be fair I never told them my age, but i did imply i was underage
