Welcome to Gaia! ::

Oh the trolling thing was on another site rpnation. Lots of 13-17 yo kids on that site, lots of stupid kid drama. They have a built in chat on the site, it's horrible for drama and it makes it EASY AS ******** for mods to ban people (because people just talk and they are so strict about their rules that almost anything someone disagrees with can get you in trouble). So I trolled for the sake of it because there was nothing else to do on the site. I am horrible.

On WTF I was the cause of the mod/user fallout. One of the users started a personal attack against me and I left. Once things cooled down a lot of people just left, the atmosphere of WTF was different by that point.

I like WTF's system, like adore it, like I want it on ALL rp sites in some shape or form because I think traditional static forums just aren't dynamic enough for roleplaying . . . we totally need better forum systems in place for RPing.

The rpnation site I was on tried a similar system, but it was more like Gaia guilds in a lot of ways. Lot of threads, no real layout in place to organize stuff . . . it was an attempt, but not quite there.

Then the person who original wrote the code for the system was found guilty of attacking the source site where he sold the code . . . and people were advised to stop using the code because of a glitch he wrote into the code (******** with the host sites code or some jazz).

So they had to drop the system anyways and return to traditional forums . . . so that sucked.

Then I got banned because of aforementioned trolling and the fact that the site owner had a bit of a sore spot for me and like 8 other users . . . we were all eventually banned! >D

Welcome to the fold! (I am no longer the newbie here, hazah!)

For it's finding people that just mesh well with me.

Most of my RPing of late has been pretty feel good, someone gets laid, character driven sort of stuff. Preferably with a group that just gets along, has fun, talks OOC, and generally meshes well.

Fairly reminiscent of how I use to RP back when I started Gaia in 04.

Like it's serious, in the sense that people are dedicated, but not so serious that it becomes a chore.

Feel good RPing because we want to RP and like each other as people.

That as well, definitely. I've only really had a handful of partners to role play with that I have a lot of fun/mesh well with. (Hence me coming back to Gaia in particular, since this site is my roots yah)

I really miss group role playing as well. Most of the stuff I do now-a-days is one on one (and mostly slice of life which becomes rather tedious). That is to say, I'm really excited to be getting into a community based on forums again. At the least, its open for more interaction.

Yeah last group RP was the domestic gangster one on WTF.
It just sort of died because players disappeared, as usual.
Tika stuck it out, we sort of took it and made it into a one on one.
Not as fun anymore though, like we had a great dynamic going . . . but
dunno just not the same.

Otherwise yeah I do one on ones, it's hit or miss. Every year or so I catch a good partner, we go strong for a month or two and then drift off.

I pop in and out of Gaia . . . I don't really do the group thing on here . . . i usually try to take it offsite, just to avoid the PG13 thing.

I've always been tempted to try a thing on skype with multiple group conversations for scenes and s**t. Make a dedicated RP-skype account for the RP! >D

But I doubt anyone would even bother . . . QQ

@ MOOSE :

For me, Gaia is just where the heart is.

Even if it lacks a sophisticated role-play system, it's where I first started role-playing. Plus, I grew up with the site; there's sentimental value littered everywhere... Sort of, lol.


Also, it's hella weird to write "moose." Totally not use to it, haha.
