Title: Your least favorite type of roleplays!
Post by: -WhereSunRises- on December 07, 2015, 09:01:05 pm
Which ones are against your "fur"? Whixh ones you simply don't like? I kind of can't get used to somekind of gryphon or dragon roleplays XD I prefer canine and warrior cat roleplays... I didn't say I hate those though! Dragons are cool XD

Well I accept every type of roleplay as long as it's an ACTUAL roleplay.
I very much dislike those roleplays that aren't even ''roleplays''. So basically people doing nothing and just chatting and NOT RPing as they said they would.
I don't like when I really want to join a rp and when I join a roleplay I thought was cool, It ends up being 'just a group', not a roleplay.. :c

I actually despise plotted roleplays unless it's necessary.
If I join a roleplay that's already plotted, I'm done for. Firstly, because that gives me no free will to use my own imagination and think of a little plot in my head of what I'm going to do with my character.
Secondly, I have to wait my turn to step in because it's plotted, so only certain members can join in on the roleplaying at certain times; and I'd much love to do stuff behind the scenes with my character, not wait everything out and get terribly bored.

stuck-up mature roleplays that use fake words every other second


most strictly plotted roleplays that allow no sort of side development and/or straying from it

and roleplays that say they're active but after the first day disappear off the face of the earth

oh and groups that just
are horrible people
who harass people who were forced to leave it

I'm really loving these multiple discussion posts you're making, very creative.

I don't really like mapless RPs, and unless its a friend's role play you won't ever see me in one. Also role plays that are full of black and white wolves with spike colors and piercings. Just.. no.  As Shurtle said plotted role plays aren't always the best either, but some of them are kind of interesting.

I prefer mapped RPs that give you the free will to choose your own characters path and plan their own lives, y'know? They're just.. better. More interesting.

I don't really like human roleplays, they feel awkward and i've never rped as one before. xD If I did rp as a human though, it wouldn't have any special abilities or anything, just a regular human you'd see in real life. I don't mind plotted roleplays as long it is not strict where your character is in complete control like how Shurtle says.

mainly ones that are strictly realistic and literate. i prefer to have more creativity in a roleplay, and accept all kinds of roleplayers, however we can all still have our preferences for RP. neither do i rlly like mapped RPs that much bc you're only gonna use them once or not that much rlly.

I don't particularly like the majority of Warrior Clans or wolf packs I've joined. There was always so much drama with the rivals, and even within the groups themselves. There was also a "distance" between the higher-ups and their close friends, and the rest of the pack. I prefer more "familial groups" that all characters are tied together in some sort of bond. That's just my preference though.

Honestly, I think I agree with most of what was already said... I'm not trying to repeat it, but...

The non-roleplay groups, as Autumn said, and what Shurtle said there is what I mean.

I really love being as free as possible with my roleplay style and character development and stuff, like for example I might want to make one character a shapeshifter but if someone says no because "it's not apart of the plot" or if it's "unrealistic" then I just kinda want to leave and find something else, y'know? I guess that's why I only stick to one roleplay nowadays, specifically that one being with my friends. (Another reason is just because I don't have time, really, to be in other rps but anyway. xD)

So sometimes I don't think I'll even want to join warrior clans or wolf packs because of this, either... Not enough creativity for me to express, I think. I'm not saying that in a judgmental way, I'm just saying it's not my style I mean.

I don't necessarily hate these roleplays too, I'm just saying though... I don't really want to join a lot of strict rps like this, I guess? But someday I'm curious about joining a wolf pack, to see how they'd react to a more "strange" character.

Hope I made sense somewhat, I'm probably more tired than I realize.

I used to really love roleplaying Warrior Cats, but eventually the majority of WC RPers got incredibly narrow-minded and territorial on public maps, and I kind of left the fandom because of it. I really do miss it, though!

Plotted role-plays are definitely a 'no' for me. I enjoy when you join a group & you can kind of 'go with the flow' & figure it out from there. It makes for more interesting events, I think. I also kind of dislike the 'role-play' groups where there is kind of a clique of the 'cool kids' & they create a sort-of barrier between themselves & the other members. I'dunno. It makes me feel very intimidated if your little group are the only ones you'll ever speak to. I enjoy when groups are kind & include every member, not just their ringlet of friends.  :D

Mm, but what if it was actually a role-play that you could fit your own character's path, there was just a backstory that everyone goes with. If you think about it, all groups /are/ plotted. It's just that some are more creative than others. Haha~

Well, A.) That would be wolf-speak..? I can tolerate it, if it's not that great of an influence...
B.)"most strictly plotted roleplays that allow no sort of side development and/or straying from it" My own personal group lets people set their own path, it's just a backstory..? That they all have to follow in a way, going on with my answer to Hooli's.
C.) "and roleplays that say they're active but after the first day disappear off the face of the earth" Jesus, I hate those. I've made a challenge for people to not leave their group, and to use only three characters for a month or so. Lol
D.)"oh and groups that just
are horrible people
who harass people who were forced to leave it" Dang, I do hate those kinds! I can honestly agree with you. -,-

  I'm accepting towards all different kinds, but some I can never really get myself into is FNAF roleplays (and anything similar). Just not my cup of tea, I guess. I also can't get myself into human roleplays. Even though we are humans ourselves, and it would be easy because we know everything humans do/know how humans are, it's hard to imagine yourself as a human when you're using a canine or feline model (talking about in game here, not like a roleplay on a forum).
Besides that, I'm not much for wolf-speak. Nothing against it, I just prefer nothing too simple, but not overly detailed. Especially to the point where you're giving details to every little thing with words that are hard to comprehend.

I'm getting ideas for starting my own roleplay, so this is a helpful thread for "what-not-to-do". XD

So, it seems no-one really likes plotted roleplays? I can definitely see why, It's no fun to follow a storyline point-by-point. But what if a storyline develops during the roleplay and unfolds then? Has it become "plotted" or is it just unfolding like a roleplay story should, naturally and unbound?

And what about backstories, or a basic setup for what the roleplay is supposed to be about? I don't mean "this is a wolf pack" or something like that, I mean like "These are the groups here and this is how they interact". It has no control over what stories happen or what characters are like or do but it does help to make things more organized. *shrugs* I wouldn't call that "plotted", just a fairly organized RP.

I hate when it's Like:
First day - their group gas ben created, all OK, nothing against it. But the second day you spent all the time to wait others, and no one come. :(
Ok, ok, if it is only a day it's ok, maybe they were busy. But waiting for a week.... Anyway, I Like too warrior cats' roleplays, and wolves ones too! I love if there is a pack active and realistic that follows wolves "rules" for example the ranks, the fact that the wolves didn't talk, so you shouldn't talk, but maybe just bark. Changing the subject on the warrior cats' roleplays, I Like them, too if In just a novice with warrior cats.
Note: some of the words can be wrong spelled because of the phone, anyway typing errors.

I don't like human role-plays. There are so many MMORPGs with /human/ avatars, so why are you on the only canine/feline role-play game?

I also don't like role-plays that use the IC ranking system as a basis for how they treat group members OOC. I don't think it's a very benevolent way to advance your group.

I'm trying to understand the concept of disliking plots by the majority of people. From my own personal experience having a flat roleplay that is just like "the day in the life of" constantly is super bland. Like having the same constant without anything interesting sounds boring to me personally. You need something once in awhile to liven things up and bring people together. I actually avoid non-plotted roleplays. Aha.
As a side note, plots don't have to be something that happens in roleplay suddenly. Plots can also refer to a back story of the roleplay. So essentially saying you like plot-less roleplays means just a simple pack/pride/group with no back story development or anything. It'd be like the group just showed up, no goals, history, how it came to be, etc. If you're roleplay has anything like that, then it is indeed plotted.

But I like plots that include EVERYONE. In my own roleplay I've come up with interactive plots that anyone in the group can interact and help shape. Like the basic say could be there's some sort of sickness (over-used I know). But how people react to that shapes how it plays out. Like a healer in the pack mentions needing help gathering herbs. If no one helps; well they wont have the proper supplies to treat everyone. Meaning there will be more casualties as the illness progresses. But if people do roleplay helping the healers; they'll have enough to help properly.

More on topic though, in my own preference I like plotted or themed roleplays that aren't too strict and allow character involvement. Ones that aren't my kind of thing. I also tend to stray from humans, anything way over-cliche or groups that aren't friendly or chatty. Like if you're roleplay is based on some 'evil' group, that's merely insane to be insane, raids others, kills and the majority of you are all dark hued with knives and spikes; I'm avoiding you like the plague. I love dark roleplays and themes that go out of the 'norm' and are creative. So if you're just trying to be edgy and cool with your 'evil' roleplay; count me out, xD Anything with powers is also a no-go for me usually. Unless controlled. Like strictly controlled and managed.

I don't like any roleplay that strikes me as pretentious. I'm not sure if it's an unpopular opinion, but RPs that  use "wolfspeak" annoy me, especially if they act as if they're superior writers for doing so.

I actually like plotted RPs, but not to the extent where it would limit personal creativity.

I strongly dislike overly realistic roleplays xD There's nothing wrong with them or the people who like them but I prefer more room for imagination and the whimsical. I like the spice of unrealistic things so long as it's not overblown craziness lol

I'm pretty open to role-playing just about anything, but my least favorite role-plays are canine ones. They tend to bore me after a while. :c

Post by: wolfdog01 on February 13, 2016, 04:27:00 am
Hmmm, I prefer the ones with very little to no plot. Like I like if there is a main idea and direction but I'm not forced to do something, just as long as it sorta follows the ending. Don't like the rps that use "-" for actions. Like:
-He sat at the edge of the water-

Even though I used to be like that, just something about it irks me now...Not a huge fan of the one sentence rps either or the super strict ones...Pretty much everything a regular person would dislike lol

To be completely honest. The FNAF rps. I hate fnaf ever since it captured my friends (ive never played it but). So those rps always make me wannna explode.

EDIT: Lol who hurt me ^^
