tune in rn for ‘are we living or are we existing’ w/ seductns!! ♡
so, y’all. i promised myself that i would be more help than talk so i really refrain from this unless i get anons, but listen. this is sort of a pls wake up. p.s. ignore the title, it’s click-bait.
urban sims are taking over our tags, people. lmfao, it’s sad.
tbh a good portion of us are in college or are heading there and we’re growing out of this. speaking on behalf of myself, not only am i growing out of this but i’m losing interest because i’m just BORED. and this is really the cake of this entire post: boredom.
we wonder why rp’s die out the first day/week or why the tags are dry and the answer is really simple:
people make the same type of rps and run them the same way and we’re all bored.
we all hate those ppl that join rps and NEVER post or they stay in the cut most of the first few days. guess what: I’M THAT B*TCH :( and here’s why i and other people end up doing it:
the truth is, if those first couple hours are already dry with dry small talk etc, i lose motivation to keep things moving, especially if it’s another college or celeb rp that’s been done 1000 times bc howmanytimes.mp3. i’m not excited anymore. shitty, i know but i get disappointed and i just lose interest once i see a similar pattern happening:
small talk, club, bonfire, kickback, etc event, ig posts, pull up to event, talk, sex discussion on the dash (which idm but this can’t be the only way dashes get live c’mon), anon games (love ‘em but again), gn and repeat the next day with a dash of drama or dryness.
Y’ALL HAVE BEEN THAT PERSON DON’T EVEN JUDGE OR LIE.
like at this point are we even roleplaying or rewriting the same sh*t w/ a different face.
“you’re the problem! why don’t you join in and liven things up! why don’t you participate!”
because, hello: repetition is not fun and i’ve already been through this 10000 times. if i join an rp and what i listed above is what happens and i see it going down this road, 9x10 i will lose interest because it’s all now boring to me. especially if the plot has been done 282883 times. why i’mma stay. why. why. why. been there, done that. i’m sorry.
“if you don’t like this type of sequence/rp don’t join sh*t.”
yeah well don’t complain and blame people if the rp dies, sweety.
“why don’t you make your own rp?! talking all that sh*t!!”
reminder that the same people join these rps nowadays. we get bored quick. that’s the hard truth that some of you may not want to hear.
now i’m not saying to not have events (that would be absurd) or to not make college rps or w.e, (to each their own). i’m saying: at least execute them differently. do less events that are done in every rp, pleeeeeaaaaase.
rps gain 50% of interest before the rp starts. a good first two weeks sets it on pace to gain the rest.
you want people to be interested in your rp? try something that hasn’t been done a whole lot. plan before your rp starts, plan before it hits the tags, PLAN. plan to be engaged as an admin! after posting an event, queue a reminder. during the event, try to have a pt (not every single time but for the first two weeks? throw ppl in a dungeon, go all out, scam us into thinking it’ll be fun until the end of time). this isn’t much if you PLAN beforehand. plan now, be lazy later.
you’re in an rp? don’t rely on the admin for pts or to make your character act crazy. start throwing bottles, lmao. you can do anything in rp… step out of your box and HAVE FUN.
you want to come out with another college or a popular type of rp? DO IT, f*Ck my opinion. but keep in mind that those same ppl may lose interest if you don’t spice it up bc been there done that. so PLAN.
effort is a two way street. y’all know what to do if y’all want an rp you like to last.
all in all, times have changed, so pls, wake up y’all. things have changed. stop doing the !!!!same!!!! boring stuff.
also can we have more twitter rps!!
anyway, if you agree or disagree feel free to drag me but be polite or else. >:[
btw there some good rps in the tags, check them out. x
