The two types of RPers I loathe:
1. Those that seek romance immediately after their character has been accepted. I'm not one for pre-disposed romantic relationships in my RPs, unless it's a sequel of some sort, and it just really irks me. Most of the time that is all they're looking for and they have no interest in playing out the plot or developing their character.
2. The people with the extremely shallow characters. They live purely for sex, alcohol and parties. I mean, you can have a character enjoy those things without making them shallow, but the majority of the people with those as 'likes' have made characters with no depth to them at all.
Types of role plays I loathe:
1. Fandom Twilight RPs. I'm not much of a fan of canon character fandoms, but don't mind them as long as people play the character correctly, but fandom Twilight can gtfo. Seriously. I dislike them so much.
2. The over-played, Vampire vs Werewolf. I've done so many in my life and they all follow the same exact direction. It's boring and overplayed, unless you put your own spin on it. Odds are, if you tag me in something like that, I'll nope your face off.
3. And, of course, the most dreaded one of all... Undead x Human. My hate began for this particular pairing a long time ago for no specific reason. There is no science to support that someone who died and comes back will be able to have those human emotions resurface. Then I watched Warm Bodies and my hate for it heightened all the more.

People who don't use punctuation, seriously, it can be a chore to read even the shortest of these kind of posts, I was on an RP on a different site where there was this one person who never used proper grammar, it was so bad I actually skipped reading their posts altogether.
People who don't get involved with the plot and other characters okay, I get it, maybe your character is a bit of a loner, but please try to interact with the others a little, otherwise your not RPing, you're just writing a friggin book. Also the characters who don't get involved with the story and just do their own thing for the majority of the RP, seriously, play along with whatever story there is, you can still do your own thing occasionally, but not all the time!
People who use tragic backstories all the time: Okay, maybe you needed something to write about for the bio section, but come one, think of something else, and don't make every character you ever have like this: Jimothy never had a happy childhood, his parents were killed in front of him by a mugger who was then shot by a necrophile drug dealer who had been selling drugs to his parents had intimate contact with the corpses which left Jimothy with PTSD. Then he was sent to an orphanage and all the other kids hated him and put spiders in his hair and put dog poo in his bed. Everyone in school also hated him to and he never had any friends and he still can't get over the death of his parents and is plagued by his mental disorder.
Now don't get me wrong, a tragic backstory can work, and its okay as long as every character you make doesn't have one, this also ties into the second point, the characters like that will often not talk to any one and not get involved with anything. I almost always have characters who have their parents intact, I can only think of two that didn't, one is in a RP where everyone was taken from their parents at a young age, the other was a pyrokinetic lizard man who had been grown from a test tube, so it would be impossible for him to have parents.
Having to write a ton of information for a character Bio: I think this is actually one of the reasons there are so many tragic backstories, because they desperately needed to hit the 3 paragraph mark. But come on, most real people don't have very interesting bios, Whenever I do BIos for my own character sheets, I usually just say what their family is like, how they got on in school, maybe something funny or notable, which usually only takes a single paragraph.
And with that, thank you and goodnight!

This topic made me actually go into my character collection topic and count how many "tragic" (quotations 'cause I was very lenient) backstories I've made and I came out with an 8:7 result in favor of non-tragic, yaaay.

My personal pet peeve would probably be players that break the RP Nation rules of making their guys OP as well as those that don't read what's been posted by the gm after they've joined an RP. I understand that not everyone would read the hundreds of pages when they jump into a particularly established and played out RP but after they've joined it becomes a hassle for gm and players alike to constantly remind and point out to that one person who keeps asking or trying to do the same thing after it's been said that it's forbidden or can't be done in another post before by the gm. Really tries my patience personally.

1. The bad boy who is so broken inside, so cold and heartless and can't experience love or even sympathy at all. Yet fall in love in 3 minutes with the first whinny girl he meet.
2. The roleplayer that want to show what a talented poet they are by writing useless supposedly "pretty" things when unneeded, like (a real example I've just seen), when filling their character application, rather than writing "Name : Alisdair", they will write "Name : Humans always had this need to name everything. Other beings surrounding them. Items surrounding them. And even their kind. In this way they named him Alisdair."
3. Roleplayers that gets mad at you, the player, because of what happened in the roleplay. If your character speaks rude to their, they wiill take it as a personnal attack from you as a player, and will get mad at you. Actually, my ex-girlfriend dumped me because our characters had an argument =___=
4. People that think only your posts' length define your value as a roleplayer. Like, if you write 365 lines of useless shit, you're a good roleplayer, but if you write 15 lines of useful roleplay, you're shit and they will totally despise you.
5. The villain that is mean without any reason, just because he enjoys killing babies for fun.
6. In the same category, the "someday, he decided to kill his parents without any reason".
7. The fake mental illness. Like, you know, people who think schizophrenia, autism, PTSD or any disorder are really sexy and super cool because they have no idea what it actually is
And probably lots of other things, actually....

Related to this people who want to seem smart so they try to use flowery words without having any idea what they really mean.Seiden said:
Example - she gazed at her senpai lovingly from her glassy orbs. - instead of saying she gazed adoringly at her senpai.
First off calling your eyes orbs just sounds silly - I mean who in real life is going to go - yeah she had the most beautiful blue orbs i've ever seen.
Second off glassy eyes means your either dead or blind. So you wouldn't be gazing at anyone with them adoringly or not.

Did anyone mention the recent outbreak of stupidly long character sheet requirements in the Detailed/Casual RPs?
I like to write and flesh out my characters as much as the next guy, but some of them are getting borderline ridiculous. Like who wants to spend 6-7 hours writing a background because the GM required 10+ paragraphs on it and at least 5+ on personality and appearance? I literally saw that on an RP a few days ago and though I've happily completed some pretty long character sheets, it made me 'nope, not worth it' so hard.

I should say that I LIKE making character sheets. But it really frustrates me when you know that the GM isn't really interested in what you're writing, but rather just using it as a form of Gatekeeping and or means to stand out.Sunbather said:
Like in this same irritating rp, the sample post had gone so far as to describe how many inches the GM's breast stood out in their shirt and then went on to write para after para about muscles underneath the skin that would hardly be the focus of anyone looking at them to begin with.

- people who use multiple characters as an excuse to write one-liners. like they'll put all four of their characters replies in one post and give each character maybe one and a half line of text. added all together it's a good five or six lines but nothing in the story was really progressed. i just got four lines of basically
sally woke up and looked out the window. susie was walking in the rain. daisy loved mondays. esther hoped danny called her about their date.
- people who post ooc information in the IC thread. i just can't. it's literally two tabs over people why are you clogging up the IC thread with your random questions when it's super easy to tab over twice and put them in the proper place.
- people who quote roleplay posts. i mean i typically write at least two paragraph per a character. and so if you quote my reply i got to look over that bulky quote box just to get to whatever your reply is. and typically the reply is like barely a paragraph without any kind of header or anything. so i'm basically skimming over my own text to get to this tiny word block at the bottom that is your reply.

I really dislike roleplayers who do one liners xD I've experienced that a lot in the site I used to go to.
In the chat I went to, we used the command /me which implied that your character is doing some action of such (it wasn't a forum, so yeah) and people were like "Yuki the devil mistress demon walk around in the forest. I look to my right and see you" ...and that's really annoying to look and read. I mean, sure, not everyone's perfect at english, but I think most of us should have common sense xD You can't just use third person to move and mix first person in it xD
Also, godmodders are a thing I'm sure most of us hate, so that's that xD Autohits, instakills, instadodge.
And probably when roleplayers try to shorten words, like "i run 2 u & jump" That's just an example, but you get the point.. xD

When GM's create other characters just so they could have a love interest.
Like, honestly, don't create another character JUST so you can make yours interact.

I was in a roleplay for several years... it was supposed to have a plot, but it basically ended up being "The GM's perfectly beautiful and powerful and smart and sultry character and her love interests and planning the Perfect Wedding ".Ecstasyia said:

In hindsight, I should have been more mature about how I left. I ran a guild on that site(think like, a hosted project) for a separate RP that she infected with her presence and one day I snapped and decided to remake the story and run it in the main forums. My plan was to only re-invite the people from that RP that I liked. She was not happy when she found out, said I was being unfair to the roleplayers and going behind their backs to destroy what they built. I told her if she could keep the guild active, she could have it, and to never speak to me again.
I mean, theoretically, she was right. But in practice, most everyone hated her for being overbearing and emotionally cling-bordering-on-manipulative, and only two or three other people stayed behind (for a little while). I eventually ended up being able to steal the guild back from her a couple years later by getting in contact with the Vice Captain (co-GM) of that guild and exploiting a rule that allowed a VC to make themselves the owner of the guild if the captain had not logged in for 60 days.
Not gonna lie, my 16 year old self was an ass and a bully. Hopefully if you end up in an RP as bad as that one, you'll just quit and not pull off all the other shit I tried to get away with. The drama was exhilarating, but toxic in the long run.
