RPing with someone for 6 hours and no romance, no ts, just developing story.

Yup, I'm stalking them now. #letmebeyourrppartner4life

THIS COULD HAVE BEEN US! >.>;

It should've been us
Shoulda been a fire, shoulda been the perfect storm
It should've been us
Coulda been the real thing
Now we'll never know for sure, ooh
We were crazy, but amazing, baby we both know
It should've been us, us
It, it, it should've been us

This really is the most awesome thing.

I've been MUing a long time, and have yet to encounter a single tentacle. I don't know whether I'm disappointed or relieved.

@ominous said in Let's talk about TS.:

If he/she gets away, though, you may have created an intense fetish for then, so now they have to rob banks to get off.

The hazards of the job, man.

I'm just picturing trying to rob a bank and have an orgasm at the same time.

@kay Orgazmo is a great superhero concept.

We actually had a guy try to app that at CC. Mentalist with the super power to give people orgasms. He felt he'd be great at fighting crime.

HE WOULD.

There's always the dreaded 'so, how much are you enjoying this?' OOC question that might as well be 'I want to know if you're jerking off right now OOC'.

I don't know if you can bring it up OOC without things getting weird.

@vulgarkitten Or 'omfg I don't TS and everyone in this room wants to fuck me shit shit shit RUN FOR THE HILLS'.

You wouldn't see their interest unless you expressed yours, too.

Yes, but if you express yours, and nothing comes back? Then you know they're either not interested or they're not using the command. With the insecurities of most MUSHers? It's going to inevitably jump to the former at some point and cause drama.

I could see this going badly. 'I swiped right and nothing popped up. They don't like me! OMG I HATE THEM!' and cue OOC drama.

My hard line in the sand nope: anyone who claims to be married or partnered who then spends time bitching sexually about their spouse/partner. I'm not talking about occasional grumpy stuff, look I've been married/partnered to the same guy for like 20 years, every one gets on each other's nerves sometimes. But constant complaining or worse, /denigrating/ one's partner? Yikes. I have met people that were so ugly and mean about their SO that I did not feel comfortable interacting with them again. On any level.

Another hard note for me is someone who is constantly complaining about their other RP partners. Especially if its accompanied by "you are the nicest and the only one who understsnds." Yeeeeeaaaaaaahhhhhhhh.

Holy shit, people do that? That is mind boggling to me, that would strike me as uncomfortable as someone asking like, creepy personal questions, maybe more so.

It would immediately make think that they were saying the same sort of things about me to their other RP partners.

They usually are. I've had that happen recently. The truth always comes out, though.

And to maybe add to the subject of the thread: TS pressure. I've found it makes you not want to TS with that person, yes, but also that it has a spillover effect to TS in general, at least for me.

Is this... is this the James Bond MU I've been dreaming of MY WHOLE LIFE??????

Immersion means when I am addicted and CAN'T STOP even though I tell myself I can. I CAN'T! THANKS A LOT, @Apos

But for real, as long as there's a vivid world, a compelling story, and a character that fits into it all, I consider myself fully immersed.

We should take advantage of this opportunity to talk about how cool Aleksei is.

Pretty cool, right?

Do we need to? He already knows everything, he doesn't need to know he's enslaved our hearts and minds as well. God.

Enslaving does seem out of character for him.

It's always the ones you least suspect.

@dontpanda He was eaten and erased from memory? What game was that? I am intrigued and confused.

Arx

This is a good thread. It's helpful to be reminded of what makes people want to play. Thanks for starting it

You're welcome

Updated.

@lithium said in What is your turning point?:

For me it comes down to a simple thing:

Is the RP Enjoyable or is it not.

If the RP has become consistently not-enjoyable then it is not worth my time. I play these games to have fun.

Note: Enjoyable RP does not always mean enjoyable to the character.

As per the TS thing?

It would depend on how it was mentioned OOCly for me. Sometimes people have different needs and desires, but it doesn't mean that they are pressuring you, they are just trying to get things on the same page.

Or they could be pressuring you.

I dunno your situation.

We were talking about someone getting cockblocked in game and the player made the comment: "Mmmm. Speaking of lack of cock lately."

What makes you say either 'hey I want to RP with this person way more' or 'hey I don't want to actively RP with this person anymore'? Can be IC, can be OOC; just curious about the spectrum.

For me, I've found my breaking point is often centered around pressure to TS. This has happened before and happened again recently to me. Char was in a long term relationship with another character and the other player made some OOC comment about not getting enough TS. Despite their apology when I called them out on it, I found myself liking the player less and less for other things I would have normally ignored and I eventually asked to end the relationship IC. I couldn't get passed the 'I'm not getting enough TS' mentality.

Something that will almost always make me want to RP more with people is probably pretty common, and that's level of interaction in a scene. Are you drawing me into something my character can contribute to? Are you asking questions that they can respond to? Are you physically doing something that they can play off of? Are you handing out plot like it's going out of style? That sort of engagement makes me want to play with that person more!

So! What's your turning point?
