This is a bit of a rant.
I can't stand two words being spoken when I'm role playing on FH and they are "I'm bored."
I just. I can't handle it. Why do these people say there are bored? It always seems to be that they can't RP at all unless they are in direct contact with someone else. Unless there is that constant interaction between players, they are bored. Even if there is the most interesting plot in the world, they just sit there, and they are bored. They don't go searching for someone to RP with. They do not figure something out to do on their own. They sit there in a corner of the map, expectantly waiting for someone to approach them on their own will and eagerly RP with them. That usually doesn't happen, and the oh-so-bored role player will spam the chat with those two words I can't stand..."I'm bored I'm bored I'm bored! Give me attention! I can't think for myself at all I don't know how to type at all unless I have someone to RP with! Entertain me! It's all your responsibility!"
They cannot get the ball rolling on their own. Sometimes these bored players even go to annoying extremes by putting their characters on the verge of death so that someone absolutely just has to go and find them, even if the said dying character is on the opposite end of the map. If you know their character is dying OOC, you'll just HAVE to have your character get the sudden urge to take a stroll across that map and by chance happen upon this bored role player who is in the process of pretending to kill their character and...*chucks the bored role player out the window* D:<
Why can't these people role play on their own?! Why do they just sit there? Use your head! Think of something! There are plenty of things to do, especially if there's a great plot! I'd understand if you were bored if you hadn't interacted with anyone the entire RP session, but right off the bat these people helplessly stand there like trees and rocks, waiting for someone to stroll on past them and perhaps glance their way. Yes, I said 'perhaps' because it is awfully hard to RP with a tree or rock. You'd have to initiate the entire interaction. What if your character hates people, or is shy? You end up guiltily changing your character's personality so that you can please the horribly bored role player for even a few posts.
Woe is the life of a role player, it is oh so hard to have your character do something ON THEIR OWN, an unimaginable feet for any normal person. Yes, it is a cruel world out there. Having people expect you to RP on your own after you decide to join their RP is just...the pressure is too much. Everyone should already know it isn't possible to make a post unless there is someone there to respond to it. This all just defies logic...oh woe is the life of a role player!
I know I know. Life isn't fair at all. Being bored isn't fun at all. You can't post at all if you don't have anyone to RP with at all. Using your imagination is not at all possible, it expends too many of your precious resources and you don't want to use it at all. Oh, isn't role play fun?
That's basically the end of the rant. Sorry if I offended anyone, I just get very worked up when people refuse to RP on their own for a bit and to start interactions on their own. I know there are circumstances out there that actually leave people bored. I'm just talking about the circumstances where they should not be bored. And there's the rant!
