The ranks that look like they're split from one rank. why can't the warrior hunt or the assassin spy with their fighting training? I don't like ranks much because I feel limited to the role of my rank, it bores me when I just serve only ONE purpose in the pack which is whatever my rank does.
It's true that it takes more than one to successfully start a group. I've never succeeded starting a group on my own, but I didn't have to advertise at all to gain members when the group I was in had more than just the creator of the group.
I've ran out of words to type a lot, I'll sometimes type only what my character says. But when faced with a limit to the lines I should type, I feel I should just describe a yawn in utmost detail, or just add a line that says the tail is swishing. I end up with something like this: Just plugging in everything that I think my character would do if I can think about it. And before every post I spend lots of time just trying to come up with lines to fill my post, and I end up missing what would be the right time for my character to do something because someone's not finished the next part of their post.
As for plots, I don't know how to describe what I think plots are, but I don't think I know what plots are.
I don't like having to have to make an account somewhere else to join ingame groups, too many passwords for me to remember all at once.
Hmm. To be honest, I classify myself as being "literate" & that's the term I have used when looking for role-plays since about 2012. I don't think anyone means any harm by the classifications! It's just a brief way of saying, "How well do you write?" in my opinion. Though, there probably could be better words used to describe the 'levels' of role-play writing than those.
I do think that literate role-players are sometimes more... critical than those that are not "literate." More than a few times, I've joined literate role-play groups & then ended up leaving after a few days because they were very (for lack of a better word!) stuck-up. I want to be with a group that can have fun! I don't want to just role-play when I join a group, you know? I also want to talk a bit out of character & find out things about my fellow members, so that I'm able to make friendships. I don't really care for groups that I almost feel uncomfortable being myself in, if that makes any sense? I do find that literate role-play is a bit more slow, but I think that is because more thought usually goes into the writing. I think that both "literate" & "illiterate"
role-playing can be very fun! I think the reason that there are SO many literate groups around now is because Feral-Heart has been out for so long, & the vast majority of the community is probably very used to how everything works. I will admit, this does stink a bit for the newer members of our community, but I have seen multiple "semi-literate" groups waddling about! (Honestly, in my experience, when someone says their group is "semi-literate," their group is usually very lenient about role-play skills & will accept just about anyone -- but this is probably not ALWAYS the case.)
I do kind of miss going to Bonfire & being engrossed in some role-play with the "illiterate" people, though. Maybe they weren't the best at writing yet, but they were very creative & funny! Those are some of my fondest memories of Feral-Heart. ♥
I really don't like how rude some of the literate people can be, though. I have never been rejected from a group based on my role-playing skills, but I have been afraid to join groups because they seemed very "strict." Honestly, I think that it all comes down to the people within the groups & how they react towards one another. Although, I do wish that there were not drawn lines separating role-players from one another. I kind of miss when you could walk up to someone & just start typing away. I think that, perhaps, people just need to be a bit kinder when it comes to role-playing, instead of pretending they're better. Everyone was a "noob" once! :)
