Okay, you guys gotta stop with this bastardized version of Roleplaying. You guys are taking this crap way too seriously. You're all acting like salty little kids who got tagged 'It' in a game of Tag. Literally, all you guys are doing are typing colored words in a pathetic attempt of Power-play just to see who's the best. It's literally D&D with a very diluted and crappy system.
"What? People are getting salty over this?" Is what you, the (possibly)clueless member who's reading this might be thinking. And to that I say "YES". These people are getting "Salty" Roleplaying in a chat filled with colored text that symbolize their various Roleplay Characters. "WOT!? People have more than one character when Roleplaying?" And to that I say "YES!(again)". This is how freaking far people in this forum have taken this Roleplay shtick seriously.
Seriously, what are you people getting out of being the #1 Roleplayer? NOTHING OF SIGNIFICANCE. You got that? NOTHING. You people and your damned roleplay are TryHards at this point. Roleplaying isn't fun anymore! I can attest to that. Back in the early days of Roleplaying, it was more of screwing around, wasting some time, and having fun rather than taking the #1 Spot in a Pointless Roleplay Tournament or whatever the hell you call it. Why don't you 'Bum Hats' focus on the joy of Roleplaying rather than having the mindset of an Olympic Athlete aiming for number one in the Olympics?
Don't get me started on the Off-Topic Lounge as well. Take a damn look at it! It's filled with RP Related Crap. Instead of making multiple threads of RP, why don't you people just bunch it up in a SINGLE FREAKING THREAD? "But Haya, you bum, One Thread isn't enough to keep our RP crap neat enough!" You say. And to that I say "I don't give a damn!". This dilemma wouldn't have existed if you hadn't over complicated something that was supposed to be a Pass Time. If you guys really want a neat thread, then why don't you assign the current mods or OPs to put in more effort in editing that single Roleplay thread to make it legible for everyone rather than making a new thread? The redundancy of these kinds of threads is seriously getting on my nerves.
Also, the Shoutbox is barely even a place to talk about random stuff anymore! It's filled with Roleplay for God's sake. If you guys didn't know, the first Roleplay that happened in the forums was through a Thread. A place where it was contained. And then some moron decided to replicate the same thing and decided to change it up a bit. It then somehow jumped into the Shoutbox. Let me clarify that Roleplaying isn't necessarily bad in the Shoutbox, but when there are people that are trying talk to each other, especially clueless newbies that being overwhelmed by the seizure inducing texts that are popping up faster than a drunk man's thoughts; then you know it's gonna be a problem.
"But Haya, you used to RP too ya know? You even took some of it seriously too ya know?" And yes, I may come off as a hypocrite, but that never happened with every freaking RP battle. In the end, I think of it as a Skit rather than an Olympic Sports Event and my saltiness was never that bad that it had to be addressed by anyone. By the next day, it always starts off as a blank canvas rather than a badly painted rave party.
Lastly, I'll close off this rant with this statement: "Feel free to disagree with me and my post. All I ask is to state your reason as to why you disagree with me. Thank you for taking the time to read it."
