Worst RP partner you ever had.

[Feya]

Well, I didn't have had that much bad role play partners.


But one of the worst was this girl who didn't even know how to role play correctly. She was completely messing up the plot, her characters (and mine, too! She thought she could take over them as she wanted to) and even the writing style. I tried to be nice and told her that things and she was like "Ok sorry, I'll do anything about that". As you probably know, she did nothing about it. I was completely annoyed when of her characters suddenly tried to kill one of mine (our characters were friends and she didn't ask me to change the plot), but I knew it wouldn't help if I told her to stop messing the plot up. So I said nothing against it and just tried to kill her character instead. And guess what, her character suddenly became immortal. I stopped the role play a few posts after that by ignoring her because she didn't want to listen to me when I told her to stop that.


By the way, I hope I won't ever be one of the worst role play partner someone's writing about, haha.

So I found this thread from Google after looking for bad roleplay experiences just cause, but man I'm blown away by how strange some of these stories are. I even found myself being able to relate to some of them, so much in fact that I created an account on here just to post my own story. So here goes; there's this guy I've known for literally years (Lets call him Bigboy45) that simply loves to rp, in fact thats how I met him. It should also be known that I was really shy back then so Bigboy45 was my only partner. Now, I don't claim to even be a decent roleplayer, but Bigboy45 made me look like an author around twenty posts into any rp we'd do. He'd start out with a literal essay describing his character, then less than a day later I would get replies that literally contained nothing more than "Really?" multiple times within one roleplay. If anything happened to further the plot, it was always me having to force it along. Then, no matter what the rp was, it would always just dissolve into endless smut and eventually him saying he was bored with the rp and even complaining that I didn't add enough story. Eventually, the breaking point was him getting bored with, and quitting, an rp four posts into it. After that I told him just how awful the experience truly was and blocked him on everything I'd added him on. A week later he then started to contact my friends and tried to convince them to get me to unblock him. Sadly, I did and fell right back into the old patterns. This time, Bigboy45 was always looking for smut regardless of the character and rp. Action sci-fi in space? Get busy with all the guards that captured his character. Action sci-fi on a planet? Screw all the locals ASAP. Unfortunately, I still know him, but his total idiocy has driven me to find better partners and ultimately better my own writing. Sorry for the huge essay, I think I went a little overboard ( ")

Don't ask me why, but "BigBoy45" seems horribly familiar to me, and i had many who does nothinng but: smut, godmodding and one-words, i find it incredibly pathetic when they send their friends after you, you are blocked, it's none else business.. but when they make their partners or other RPers feeling bad, twisting the stories and making them victims, it's even more stupid..

I'm sorry you had a partner like that. He sounds......... Well......... Blarg (BP). I'm glad you have better RP partners now though ( )

A few years ago, I used to roleplay on another website. A very teenage website. Safe chat was a bitch (you couldn't say things like "cockroach" or "harassment"), there were mods EVERYWHERE, but there were some good roleplayers on said site. One time, I was partners with this guy who was a one-liner. Of course, that's annoying. But what made it even worse was the fact that he was such a huge hypocrite about it.


He would constantly moan and groan about how people's responses were "too short" and "didn't have enough description." One day, he sent me a PM that said, and I'm trying to remember this as best as I can, something along the lines of: "Listen, I don't want to roleplay with you anymore. Your responses are just too short and choppy. You're not advancing the plot in any way!" (Note that I wrong at least one to two paragraphs a response.) He then proceeded to delete the forum and defriend me.

dude....... That's a bit messed up. I'm glad you stopped writing with her though. But seriously? Immortal? That's kinda low.

Woohee, you guys have all have some pretty damn terrible experiences, guess it just comes with the environment we play in. Personally I've only had one really bad experience with RPing, in my entire five/six years. She seemed nice at first, I met her on a Gaming app that had a few RP servers, I.E Roblox, so I added her on Skype to get easier access to RPing and to get rid of the randoms that would infest the RP servers all the time (Romance was looked down upon, as was slice of life), and we RPed a lot, I played a thief character who was also the head of a gang in a very large underground city, based on the lore of Fallen London, which I was totally infatuated with at the time. Her character was a shy, blonde, blue-eyed girl who, of course, had social anxiety and a long history of both physical and verbal abuse from past partners along with her parents, who had been absent since her early years, strangely enough every male character she would ever introduce to the RP would happen to be a dickhead who was only out to rape/beat her character. Somehow my character fell in love with her for plot reasons, he was very gentlemanly and his gang followed a strict code, wherein you were only supposed to rob the rich and be careful when robbing women and such. His gang had accumulated quite the wealth so he could give her everything she would ever ask for. But her character would also cling straight to his side and become a hollow shell whenever he would have to go out working, like you do as a mob boss making a living. And as we slowly played we started introducing more and more characters, whenever I'd make a new important character they would often end up befriending the main cast, adding to the amount of people you could talk to in the "Hub" we had, which was a bar for all the urchins to eat/drink at. And whenever she would make a character they would pretty much be a reskin of the same old dickhead male character that had no redeeming value other than the last confession of being raised as an orphan before being thrown into the river by my main thief, because that's what happens to dickheads when they insult his wife (Oh yeah somehow they got married and had three kids along the way too, I tried hard to spice up the RP with all sorts of things like that). After some time I was starting to get bored of the same old, same old copy/paste characters of damsels in distress and dickheads with relationship issues. So I decided to ramp it up a bit, by having my main character get killed by the villain of the story, who was a rivalling mobster called "The Sandman" Because he was a tombcolonist(AKA Mummy) with very sandy bandages. This led to a total stagnation of the plot and everything related, because as I said earlier, her character wouldn't do jack shit without her husband, even when her best friend in the RP took her out for shopping, oh and even their three infant/toddler age babies had to be taken care of by her best friend/sterile vampire because she was nothing but a walking husk.


At this point I was just suspecting that it was a yearlong RP growing old and stale, so I suggested her a new RP, where I would play a socially autistic boy(I have a lot of experience with Aspergers) who was secretly part of an alien race who killed humans and used their body parts for grotesque creations of horror. And her character would be a serial killer girl inspired by Tim Burton's Alice in Wonderland, and by inspired I mean directly ripped from it, but with all of the basic daddy-issues and bondage fetish I mentioned earlier. Their match became pretty clear when the boy was forced to share house with her against his will and grew closer and closer to her, mostly by her will as he was quite insecure in anything except smithing Frankenstein's monster from random bodyparts. This however became the same issue, she would never give the side-characters a shot and always clung to the main characters, the only things keeping the plot fresh for short bursts, as it was the only thing I could get her attention for, was ERP.


So as you can imagine, this was all pretty annoying RP stuff, back then finding a good RP partner was very hard and I didn't know of RPNation, I actually joined this forum because I was so tired of her shenanigans. Most RP shenanigans I can take, but the worst was her actions outside of RP, the OOC. I'm a fairly compassionate person, I care a lot for my close friends, to the point of my own and their detriment, at least I used to before she burned my hand in this soup of drama. Her erratic and quite frankly annoying nature would always stir emotions with other RP'ers, how she would constantly break schedule, something important to me, and not even to do IRL stuff, because that I can live with, but to RP with other people! That's like cheating behind my back in my book. So I gave her the news, and way too many chances, that if she didn't clean up her act I would leave her, this led to her crying to me that she needed me, because quite frankly at that point I had become her emotional stability, whenever there was drama she would come to me for help. And I would give her the help, because I thought it meant that she would RP with me, something for something, right? I have never been so wrong in my entire life. After a lot of arguing, I finally ended it with her, blocked her on all of my media, somehow started connecting with some pretty cool dudes that she had pissed off earlier, and all is well and good now because I've found a great community to RP with.

Man that's...something. That sucks dude. Sorry you had to go through that. I've kinda had to deal with that as well. I call them "leechers." Sure, they're alright whenever it comes to roleplaying, as long as their post sucks off of one of yours. But heaven forbid they have to advance the plot themselves.

Yeah, she wasn't just an RP leech tho, she was an IRL leech, a psychic vampire if you may, constantly belittling my situation (I was going through quite a stressful life at the time) to garner sympathy for herself, she would always mention her dead grandmother and her deceased ex BF, just to get herself some more sympathy from Internet strangers, disgusting if you ask me.

Yeah, I have friends who do that. I actually do it sometimes without realizing it, though. Not as a "look at me I need your pity," more like "I know where you've been." But yeah, I get what you're saying. It's horrible. Why do people feel the need to say "Oh really? That's all that happened? Well I've been through worse..." It's annoying.

It's a natural Human need to feel superior to everyone else, even if everything they say to do so is complete hyperbole. I really don't like it, honestly.

I was telling a friend about something horrible that had happened to me a few years ago and her response was "...That's it? My mother's been through worse, dude." It's not a good feeling. Makes you feel kinda selfish for complaining in a way.

And that's exactly the intent. They want you to feel bad about complaining to someone who supposedly has been through worse. Because they want to have gone through worse, so they can be better than you. However that works.

I don't know about you guys, but i can't really stand ERP.. honestly, it's a good way to ruin a RP easily.

Yeah it often does, which is why it isn't allowed on this site.

Yeah, she was exactly like that, and often her problems were entirely of her own making. Let's take an example, I love trampolining, I've always loved it, I've had a trampoline since I was seven. Now she had it as a hobby, her town had this giant trampolining team and all sorts, and she would constantly complain about how hard it was to do all of these outrageous tricks, while I'd just stand by and be like "Yeah, Yeah, boohoo for you."

I WISH my town had a trampoline team! That would be AWESOME! Are those even real? Because I will find them, and I will join them.

I personally think that everybody should just play to their own tastes, if they like erotic themes and RP to get off some stress that way, let them do that, that's not to say that they should be visible for all to see. For instance I don't like fandom RPing, I just don't like using other people's property/characters, but that's not to say that nobody should fandom RP, just because I dislike it doesn't mean that everybody else should dislike it as well.

IKR! And she would complain about a double fracking backflip! And I'd be stuck to my computer chair all weekend because my town is as dead as the rat living in my cellar!

I can do a double blackflip on the ground!...Okay maybe I can't. But that's not the point. Yeah, that's kinda ridiculous. That's another thing I hate: Casual lying. My ex used to do it ALL. THE TIME. He would constantly be like "Hey, just came back from a run," and would have not gone running at all. Like...what was the point of lying about it?

Yeah, she'd do that all of the time as well, but mostly to get out of a pickle with RPing, so while she was RPing with randoms at one of our scheduled times she'd just say that "Life got in the way" and after two weeks of being able to talk to her one day and not the next I told her that "Life can only get in the way so many times before you figure shit out, now tell me what's going on or I'm fucking off."

It's incredible how her stupidity has garnered her her very own set of trolls and haters who fuck up her social media whenever they need a quick giggle, did I mention that she had a falling out with the dude she got to RP with her instead of me? Yeah she did, and it was amazing to watch.
