Title: Non Roleplayers
Post by: rustheart on May 26, 2013, 08:41:00 pm
This is a form about people that don't roleplay on Feralheart.

There are some people that don't roleplay at all.  Some people just don't feel like roleplaying and just hang out but I have met some people that never roleplay, not many though.  I don't understand why you would go on a Roleplay site and not roleplay at all.  I understand that this is a social site as well but it is about roleplaying, there are lots of sites just to hang around in so why pick a roleplay site to hang around in?

I RolePlay sometimes. I guess it's just another odd misunderstood thing about this world.
FH is probably a good game about them, and they could've been judged when they tried to RolePlay, because they aren't "perfect". Of course, leading to those rants about people who judge other's RolePlaying, and those who do judge them.
They probably like to play with friends on the game, and connect with others, that's all.
Not all about RolePlaying sometimes. c: Sometimes it's hard, or the people are young, and struggle with RolePlay perhaps. That's what I think.

Well, this is a game. Which means that whatever people find fun in it, they will do.
No one should feel pressured to roleplay- there's lots to do here other than roleplay. Make maps, presets, friends, etc.
If we all just roleplayed we wouldn't have the funny but weird chat in General and I find that very sad.

People can do whatever they want in Feral Heart, (As long as it's in the rules) because the rules never say that this is a game where you can only roleplay.
Besides, Feral Heart is good for making friends or when you're bored you can meet people and just talk and have fun. Sometimes I meet up with my friend in Feral Hear, who is in a whole different country than I am, and we derp around on Feral Heart. We don't roleplay, we just talk and have fun. Is that weird or bad? No, it isn't.

Well, when I joined sometime ago I tried out role playing and found it boring. The people I was role playing with took it way to seriously but were also painfully inactive. I ditched role playing for a long while and just hung around talking to friends which was pretty fun compared to my role play experience. I enjoyed chilling and having the added fun of designing characters.

I recently got back into a role play I'm having a bit of fun on, it's still not perfect. They don't allow post cutting and people on there take forever to post... It takes all the fun out, seriously considering leaving for a better pack with looser rules. This is why role playing isn't always fun.

You know, I once asked the same question. But then I remembered what the text on the Feral Heart front page said.

Why are we here?

The main principle is still the same; we are here to have fun, make friends and have a taste of the good life outside reality! You could see FeralHeart as a big 3D-chat, roleplaygame or just adventure.

So pretty much this game isn't just for roleplaying. It can be used to just chat, hang around, make new friends, meet people, laugh and so on. There's really nothing wrong with people not roleplaying in FH. Does it really bother you that they don't roleplay? However they spend their time on this game is really no one's concern. So what's it to you? They aren't doing anything wrong UNLESS they do anything that breaks the Feral Heart rules.

I only roleplay sometimes. Whenever I join a supposedly 'long-term' rp, I have one day of fun with them, but I always have to go back to the real world. So I leave, show up the next day, and I never see any of those people online ever again. :(

When I do rp, it's only short-term, spur-of-the-moment rps, like if I'm playing on one of my deer or antelope characters and I let someone 'hunt' me.

And I just don't have the time to play long term rps because I work part-time and I also go to school. And now that it is Summer Break, I work full-time until school starts again.

I read that as "BAWWWW Y IS THER DUMIEZ THT WAST SPACE IN THIZ GAM!!11!!??/ GET TEH FLIC OWTE!!!1!! THIZ IZ A ROLPLAING GAM!!1!!!!"

I don't roleplay because generally I don't think it's a thing I like to do. I suck, I am not an English native, and I have Dyslexia/[mild]Autism. I was once insulted and rejected from a awesome multi-species roleplay because I didn't have "o su purfect puncualtion, gramer, nd speling", people take roleplay EXTREMELY seriously, and the kids at my school think roleplay is for lonely nerds (I AM NOT SAYING THAT MYSELF!). That made me unhappy with roleplay, and I don't do it again. That's a pretty good reason why I, and many other people, don't roleplay. So it isn't a big deal about non-roleplayers, they don't hurt you. :)

Ok dude, that is not what I was saying at all.  All I was asking was why people would go on this site and never roleplay.  I do not care if they do and I got nothing ageist them.  All I wanted was a reason.  So don't be saying I am saying such unfair and unreasonable things.

On my first days on FH i used to play just because i love felines and canines a lot, and i found this game to be awesome and replaced the missing impressive title that i was searching for.
As soon i started getting friends, i just come online to be with them and i love exploring maps.
I found myself to be an epic fail at roleplaying and i dont do roleplay.
I dont get bored without the roleplay, and i feel happy each time i come here to play.

If they don't enjoy RP-ing, leave them be. As Lady said, "What's it to you?" They have a right not to role-play, and I would really rather go on FH to chat and have fun than go on a RP site. If they're not breaking the rules, just leave them.

I am not a huge fan of roleplaying, but I will if I am asked to roleplay. I've roleplayed with my friends, but I have not roleplayed with other people or on this site. I kind of like just running around as my character(s), and seeing what other people are doing.
