User blog:Avery FireFlame/Clarification about the Roleplays

Ok, lately I've been noticing some intances where people are getting WAY too offended by the Roleplay buisness, (I'm sure I didn't spell that right.) Guys, the point of a roleplay is the play a role as someone else. Stop taking everything so seriously. How can we be expected to have RP's bring us together as a community if all they do is tear us apart. Here's some problems I'm noticing: And, I mean, I hope I don't get comments like, "Well if you think RP's are so bad, why do you play them." I LOVE RP'S, and they've gotten so much better in quality from summer 2012 when I joined and they were awful. But I think we're getting too much into them that we're taking the characters like ourselves. And guys, I'm not saying we should end RP's cause they're bad for us. They bring us together and they give us something more to talk about than gossip and Survivor. I mean, with the exception of Mana, sometimes Toad, and a few others, we all like RPing a lot, and I know it.
 * People are freaking out over their characters. It's understandable to want your character to be a hit and for everyone to like him/her, but people seem to blow up a lot when their character isn't chosen for an "All-Star" season, or is called "bland" or "boring". It's just an opinion. You know what? Of all my RP characters, not ONCE has anyone complimented them, so it offends me when I say someone's character was sort of boring, and they freak out. I mean, come on.
 * The next problem is debuting, which has been handeled better lately. In the old roleplays, we used to let people like crazy, (who can forget Dravivor when Dra let Sunny come back in three times, AND he won.) Ever since we moved to the IRC, this has gotten better, but certain people seem to think their special, and will whine and fuss about being on the jury or debuting entirley. How can you blame the host? You know what happens if the host let's that one person in? The other 8 players leave because the RP is ridiculously unfair at that point.
 * There is a problem that I know not everyone can help, but I try hard not to do it. When you join an RP, you should go in knowing if you can play or not, and even if you can't, AT LEAST leave if you have to. It annoys me when people just sit there, (and yeah, after 6 seasons of hosting, it's happend), wasting everyone's precious time, so they can do whatever. At least say "BRB" or even leave. We don't know what you're doing.
