Wouldn't that mean they're consistently RPed? :D

When I make totally sweet mug designs but know that the people I give them to probably won't appreciate them. :evil:

Seriously, I'm planning out a set. They're gonna be great. Line up to get yours today!

I guess so, but UGH. I want to yell at them for being that way.

If it's something that is unique to that character, I'd probably praise them for it. If, however, it's something the player gets into with all their characters... That's probably not well RPed.

When a character tries to assert their dominance, but is wearing clothes which you custom described.

For some reason, I feel some weird sense of OOC superiority :P
You're entitled to your wrong opinion.

When you get scolded, punished, or humiliated for.. interacting with people in a lively manner.



What.

Seen a lot of that recently. Some people just get really annoyed at having characters they're not interested in get lit up a lot, and yet don't believe in filters, as far as I can tell.

It really does suck because on an OOC level they're telling you 'please stop playing the game' while IC it's literally your char being told 'please go to sleep and die'.

It annoys me that I've worked irl 6 days in a row, so I haven't had much time to play, and when I finally would have time to play, there's no one to play with.

Not very good for a game where half the premise is interaction. Not good at all.
I can only imagine what it's like for new players.

If people just want to sleep-work and don't care what people are saying, they can turn off notification for talking. I do myself on a few chars I'm not really interested in doing much with atm. They don't need to tell people to stop talking.

I don't get it... are characters being scolded for talking too much? I've seen the opposite, too, characters treated as inferior for only waking up for short periods each day... Which mine are often guilty of, according to my work schedule, etc. I guess it's in-character, to a degree, but it's annoying that it's a flaw in my chars that I can't fix.
So some are being told (in game) to play more often, and some to play less often. Cantr characters are hard to please!

If people can't be awake often or at least consistently, my chars find it hard to rely on them and may not include them as much in certain things, but it really only ever becomes something that bothers them on a personal level when the sleepy char who is fully aware in advance that they'll be sleepy for long periods has placed themselves in a position where people are forced to rely on them. The only one who can handle a trade, or set up a job or get into storage, or all the usual sleepy leader complaints.

That, or if their only contribution those few times they are awake is whining or scolding other characters (and sometimes the players directly) for being more active than they are. :roll:

39 mouse wheels. That is all. I hear there's this thing called Pg Up.

That's just bizarre, bitching for someone being alive and setting out things for people to interact, or not, as they choose. Filters and search. If you can't use the tools available to check for stuff that's of interest or useful, then the fault lies with you, not the people around happily discussing the political climate, or economics, or whatever it is that is actually interesting if you're involved. If you're not, then it's easy to find it all dull as ditchwater.
