Re: survey time - i'm doing a project for school

[(Anonymous)]

1. yes.
2. just one in a game. i have over a dozen active in long-term psls.
3. huh. that's hard to say. he has morals, they're just weird morals. i do play a lot of amoral types though.
4. 11.
5. nope. i only play in au games because i can't get over the strange new world and kidnapping issues. i've tried, but the CR always feels forced and boring.
6. nope.
7. no. major power imbalances in romantic ships are a big turnoff for me. i like playing with power imbalances for nonromantic relationships, though.
8. no, i love negative cr. most of my cr is at least somewhat negative.
9. one or two prose tags, plus 30+ extremely casual psl commentspam tags.
10. i only follow three people, so no, not really.

Re: survey time - i'm doing a project for school

[(Anonymous)]

1. yes
2. 1
3. nah
4. oh god uuh...about seven years i think
5. i try not to if i can help it, no. takes half the fun out of being new to a game. there's such a variety of ways for a character to deal with culture shock that aren't just "oh no where am i where are my friends what's going on"
6. nope, it's a p even balance between compass points tbh
7. atm, not really. power imbalance can be interesting, though, wouldn't mind playing it out sometime
8. goodness no
9. for the last few months it's been bursts of anywhere from 5 to 10 either sporadically placed throughout the week or on weekends tbh. i still boomerang sometimes, but it isn't nearly as often as i'd like
10. moderately? there's a couple of people i talk with about topics outside rp enough that i'd consider them good internet friends, but no exceedingly close attachments

[(Anonymous)]

1. nope
2. n/a but i have 1 active character i play in memes, 1 psl exclusive
3. ummm one is somewhat amoral
4. 10 years
5. when i did play in a game, i had them accept since it was ic
6. nope
7. nope
8. nope
9. 20+ tags a day
10. don't have plurk because fuck plurk

Re: survey time - i'm doing a project for school

1: No.
2: n/a
3: Occasionally, no, and no.
4: Three.
5: No, that wouldn't be IC.
6: No.
7: ...What OTP?
8: No, but I try to be careful to have it with people I get along with OOCly.
9: That varies wildly depending on how many actually come in, which is highly unpredictable.
10: Yes.

yeah why

what a weird project you must be doing

but anyway

1. about to join one
2. one
3. i have a lot but sarcastic and/or amoral could describe a couple
4. 6
5. sort of but i like to play out them getting adjusted
6. yes
7. yes, and most all of my fave ships in general do
8. not at all
9. seriously depends on a lot of factors so i can't answer this definitively
10. i have some actual legit friends on there, and yeah i care about them, but everyone else is more like an acquaintance. i don't care about a lot of what they say but i wouldn't say i don't care about them (of course there's some i don't care about at all i just keep them because i don't have a reason to defriend them)

Re: survey time - i'm doing a project for school

[(Anonymous)]

1. are you currently in a game?
Yes!
2. if so, how many characters do you play?
In games, I play two different characters. One each in one game and one in a second game.
3. could your primary muse be described with any of the following: sarcastic, amoral, or troll
A bit sarcastic at times, but I wouldn't say it is a main character trait.
4. how many years have you been in lj/dwrp?
8+
5. do you ordinarily handwave your character's acceptance of a strange new world/their kidnapping for the sake of easier CR?
To some degree. You have to suspend some amount of disbelief. Depending on the character, I might have one really stuck-up on it and another almost immediately ignoring it and more interested in [insert thing they don't have in their world].
6. do you primarily play from western media?
I used to. I currently play mostly from eastern and mostly video games. I play both eastern and western, but a smidgen more eastern games than western ones.
7. does your otp contain a power imbalance?
No. Although my second OTP has a character that is strong with "powers" while the other is smarter and more physically powerful.
8. do you avoid negative CR when possible?
Depends on what kind, but I generally don't.
9. how many tags do you typically do a day?
0-20. A bit more if it's text/spam, less if it's lengthier or I have a busy schedule.
10. do you care about your plurk list?
I like the people on it and the ones I really like, I'd find a way to talk to if we didn't have plurk.

Re: survey time - i'm doing a project for school

[(Anonymous)]

1. Yes.
2. 3
3. No, no, and no. Of the three I have active, one of them has sarcastic tendencies.
4. About five years.
5. Not exactly! Usually, I keep noting whenever there's room for it that they're still bumbling around "how does X work?" or "I can't wait to get back home so I can ___", or check if anyone knows their home world and can tell them how things are doing, etc., but I leave most of the coming to grips with it offscreen unless I have good CR off the bat to write some of it out with. I like doing that, though -- if I tone it down or handwave anything, it's not for easier CR, and I don't assume it didn't happen.
6. I think it's a mix, with a slight bias toward western canons.
7. If it does, I can't tell.
8. Heck, no. I wish I had more negative CR.
9. Depends. On a good day, 10-20.
10. Kinda-sorta. Between my characters in my main game, I cast a wide CR net so I end up chatting with and becoming loose friends with several people in the game. Even after that, I kinda like to keep my finger on the pulse of things.
