Do not be redundant. One page does not need three or more threads on one topic/theme. Your unfunny, forced memes also fall under this rule.
Do not treat this comm like your personal therapist. Threads about nonfictional suicide, self injury, rape, and abuse will be deleted. There are better resources out there for you.
Do not treat this comm like your personal Plurk or Twitter. Off-topic happens, but it should be open for discussion and not just a play-by-play of your life. No one cares.
Shut up about Tumblr. If it's not a discussion about Tumblr RP it will be deleted.

then you're dumb an unobservant, too, congratulations.

Aaand Nier: Automata sold about almost 200k units in its first week in Japan.

Remake/Remaster of Nier 1 when?

so... by your reasoning, because i already know it's a taiwanese site and have had discussions about it before on rpanons, just because i have adblock on and have my plurk locked so i don't get added by adbots and load my already logged in plurk so i don't have to load a front page with no english on it... that makes me dumb and unobservant?

okay. that clearly makes you either an early rising troll or someone that can't wrap their head around people already situating things to work easily for them so they don't have ads that hey, guess what, you don't have to be flooded by or spambots you don't need to be spammed by. but i guess actually trying to avoid those things is too much effort for you. you'd rather just bitch when people do because 'dumb'.

no, you're right, i'm being a dick on purpose, so apologies, but i still don't feel a lot of sympathy for op.

anon. most everybody doesn't think it's american. the labels aren't in english. the advertisements the official plurk makes sometimes aren't in english, even if the text of whoever is doing the plurk is in mostly ok english. remember plurk coins? that advertisement in the little video wasn't in english. i think most of us realize it's an asian site.

i've got adblock, i don't get bots, and i'm always logged in too but damn man i also noticed it wasn't an english based site

i get it, but still. some people just don't notice things that don't 'apply' to them. if they have it set up for english, they might not remember that it was anything else, depending on how long it's been. most of what's there is english. even when i load plurk not logged in, most of what's on there is in english, so they might have just assumed it was also for someone asian or that was a random setting, like having french or spanish on things depending on secondary languages. and since most people don't have their dropdown menus show anything but english or w/e their first language is... i dunno.

if it's not something you talk about, i can understand why someone might not just assume asian. i don't know where a majority of my sites are based, but i assume north america/us. unless someone comes along and tells me otherwise or i make an asshole statement about a non-us site being us specific... it just seems silly to get wrecked over.

and yet some people don't. and i wouldn't call them dumb about it. i ignore/click off most things and literally never see any page other than my layout, so the notion that someone else has a similar set up maybe makes it easier for me to understand how easy it would be for someone to be blissfully unaware. i don't know about you, but i also have a 'see it long enough and don't need it and it becomes invisible' sort of thing going on. notes to myself have to be left closer to when i need to be reminded, otherwise i'll accustom myself to seeing it and eventually stop paying attention to it.

so yes, i'm projecting a bit based on my own experiences, but again, i know it's a taiwanese site. i didn't before the argument over someone should know the difference between taiwanese and japanese or chinese writing and how dare you not know there's a difference or what the difference is, because everyone's a weeabo and if you're not, you're lying and forever eyeroll at some people.

Well that ended up in the wrong place - sorry!

So it never logs you out after a certain number of days? You never get the official plurk plurks on your timeline? You never have spambot accounts try to friend you?

I call bullshit.

i've never been logged out of my plurk. and on the rare few occasions i've logged in from some other desktop, i only pay attention to 'user name' and 'password', because that's all that's relevant to me. and no, the only official plurk i've ever gotten is from plurk buddy when i joined, and i think one more from them a year or two ago?

also no, i don't have spambots trying to friend me. i have a very small friend list and maybe that's part of it? i don't know what to tell you. i have a routine and it makes it so that i just open my browser after a restart and my last session pops up and plurk is already logged in. no muss, no fuss.

True. I mean no one's as bad as Luke's player, but there's a lot of it. Which would be less of a problem if people didn't talk up wanting other CR, tag into other peoples' plotty threads or commit to plot and then ignore it in favor of just tagging their ship or UST dozens of times to every one tag for anything else.

give me a reality check, rpanons, if i'm being reasonable or just being butthurt.

i've been feeling annoyed and neglected by an rl friend/rp partner. we often start up threads together, and our kinks tend to mesh well. we'll plot out something cool, tag for a few weeks, and then they'll drop the thread or slow down to tagging me once every few months, make mouth noises for a few more weeks about how they ought to tag me back, and never do. meanwhile, they'll be tagging in games, psls, bs, etc. well okay, that happens. maybe they lost interest, though i'm slightly miffed. we start up more threads, plot and chat extensively, they drop them, and so on. i used to be excited about our threads, but after months of nothing but talk followed up a few tags, rinse and repeat, now i'm honestly just annoyed and feel like their lowest priority.

i picked up a new character recently that they really want to play with, but ignored or discouraged starting any new threads with them because i don't want to start up the cycle of look forward to thread --> get dropped/tagged once in a blue moon --> be salty because why don't they want to play with me. i'm also dropping the single thread we have going because even though i was also looking forward to what we plotted out, i'm tired of getting my hopes up and then not getting tagged for months at a time.

i can't figure out if i'm reasonably irritated and dropping them for being flaky or just butthurt cause my friend wants to rp with other people and only talk about rping with me. after all, if they were a stranger who tagged me once a week (maybe not once a month...) and had me as their very last priority, i'd never know and never care. also torn on whether if i should tell them that i'm not interested in playing with them anymore (despite being close rl friends) or just naturally let things fade out and look the other way every time they propose starting a new thread.

it definitely sounds annoying so i would be annoyed at their flakiness on your personally, not the fact that they have other threads and such they have to deal with.

in this case, play what you want for yourself, not that person. always do this with anyone. if they tag you, great. just stop putting stock in what they think or do.

i don't get why people are so bent out of shape by the idea that some people just might not know, to the point of calling you a liar

like i knew the site was taiwanese but i'm not going to insist someone is an idiot or a liar because they didn't know. i realize that some people just kind of go where they need to go on a website and don't pay attention to the surrounding text that isn't relevant to them

Based upon what you said it seems pretty reasonable, so unless you're hiding something you definitely should be annoyed about them. To me it would be less about the tags themselves, and more the fact they get hype, by the sounds of it initiate with you opposed to you going to them (though if you go to them first stop it), set up a thread, and then blow you off for months on end while having no problems tagging other people. I'd be annoyed by that.

And...sure, maybe your friend is too tired/busy/sick/stressed/specifically uninspired with you (though ouch if they're otherwise having no problems with tagging, I'm just saying)/insert other reason. And in itself that would be fair enough, but if this has been going on for months on end it really seriously shouldn't be your job to go to the other person and fish for the reason why they're having problems. They should be able to say, "Hey, I really love this kink but I've been having a bad time and I can't deal with our hardcore thread specifically right now."

Basically, the fact they're tagging other people is excusable, but the fact they're repeatedly getting you hype and then blowing you off in the process without saying why isn't.

Normally I'd say to just let things go, but if you're close offline friends? You really need to tell them. This might seem stupid but things like this fester, and if they're as good of a friend you say they are they can handle it.

yeah, i'm trying to practice the good old elsa 'let it go', but i'm starting to feel like that means i should just drop playing with this person entirely cause this start stop style of rp doesn't work well for me. on the downside, they are a friend and keep proposing new thread ideas, and idk if i should just pull an rp fade or tell them straight out they're too flaky for me

why people are so bent out of shape

you're right. it's mostly the cycle of hype--> nothing that's really got me frustrated. it is starting to fester a bit (thus the wanting to stop rping with them) but i'm having a hard time thinking up how to 'rp break up' with them without making it sounds like i'm making an ultimatum ("tag me or fuck off!!") or pressuring them to apologize and make it up to me by tagging me when they're obviously not feeling it. i just... don't want to thread with them anymore

And you also don't want to leave this hanging, never get it resolved, it festers some more...then a year later you're having an argument with them for some reason and out slips, "And you never tagged me back on our PSLs!"

That's just bad for everyone. (And yes, I actually know of two people in this scene who had a dramatic friendship ending fight and had some stupid thing like that pop up.)

Anyway, how to approach it depends on how they handle communication, how you handle communication, and what you really want from it. I don't know your style or their style (and your style's probably a lot different from my style), or how this actually bothers you. It obviously bothers you on some level, but there's a difference between 'you're otherwise pretty chill and wish you'd just go watch movies together instead of flake tagging or something but in general nbd nbd' and 'this is actually a symptom of some greater bad communication going on between you and them'

So figure out what's really going on, why you're annoyed at them, and what you want from them. Do you actually want an apology? Are you fine and just want them to knock it off and don't care about an apology? Make sure that's in order and then go talk to them.

that's a lot of food for thought, anon, and thank you, sincerely, for laying it out like that. i tend to be pretty direct when it comes to communication and so are they, but i also almost never talk feelings when i'm feeling mad or hurt. i'm ngl, part of the reason i want to stop rping with this person is because i'm tired of getting jerked around with no expectation of things getting better, but another part of it is that i pettily kind of hope that it makes them feel bad and like they're missing out, since they do the whole gush over our plots and my writing, and have been really eager to play with my new character. which is.... a pretty butthurt reaction, can't lie.

really i think it comes down to them not being that excited about rping with you, but also not wanting you to feel like they don't care as a friend. a lot of people who have friendships that also involve rp do tend to get really butthurt if their friends aren't hyperinvested in playing with them and take it as a sign that that person doesn't really care about them as a friend. so they could be trying to force enthusiasm they don't have because they don't want to hurt your feelings or make you feel like they don't value you as a friend, but they're just not enjoying threading with you as much as with other people for whatever reason so they struggle with following through.

maybe just talk to them about it honestly and reassure them that how much or how little they rp with you doesn't really impact your friendship otherwise, and explain that it makes you feel worse if they end up flaking on you than if they didn't try to force a thread they may not be feeling.

so how often do you tag them back? if the threads are dragging on at the rate of one or two tags a week for weeks on end, i can't really blame them for getting bored and wandering off/pulling back to focus on something that actually has a hope in hell of progressing.
