Role play in the group and out side of it...
I've been hearing some grumblings of things that have been going on and watching how things have progressing. We are all a good group of role players and that's part of the reason that all of your are in the group. The trouble that I'm seeing at this point is the veiws of others.
I've watched as many have been looking to me for their rp ideas and to play with. Now, I will say that I'm more then flattered at the feel of all the love that I've been getting from everyone. I really do enjoy rping with everyone. But when I'm not around, and it does happen when I'm at work and until I can replace my computer, there are times that I'm not around. At these times, there are some that don't rp at all. They wait for me to come online to play.
What needs to happen, is to rp with one another as well. Get to know one another in character. Get to form friendships and build on it.
Yes, we are rping in a sim that is based a great deal on sex, and sex with aliens. Believe me, it's what started me to come to the sim but to have a long term role play, you have to understand that getting someone into bed or having them ravish you, you need to have a quality character as well. We are more then just sexual creatures. We are playing a realm that you can be just about anything.
We, as role players, are intelligent people, able to think outside of the box. Ever sit down and be reading a book, the main character moves by some bag lady that looked sad and beaten by the world? But that's all there is about the bag lady! How did she get there? What happens to her next? She was just a filler for part of the story, setting up the scene of what the main character is going through. We as the role players can then go the next step, and *BE* that bag lady, or the guy at the end of the cafe bar.
What all of you and I are doing, is one MASSIVE never ending novel. We are all the writers and have our individual parts to play. We, in real life, can't have sex constantly. We have to get up, take a shower, brush our teeth, go to work....is this the glamor of rp? Not really. But it builds and builds, making your character that much more interesting to others. You're taking time to get to know others, understand your character and other's characters. To see the truth of why that person is why they are that person.
I have set up the boards for the group for our use to help build those characters. To talk to one another about story ideas, not just massive ones that I've set up with others, but for you all to interact with. I have looked and so few of our group has been using them.
I want all.....ALL....to put up profiles for their characters. Why? Because we need to learn about the beings that we've created as well as let others know who you are. This is just the first step. The rest is up to you. To interact with one another. Within the group and outside of it. This group was made to try and make it easier for us all to get involvedin the rp without going through others ignoring us until they've decided that we're 'good enough' to rp with.
I had to go through that. I'm trying to spare all of you from doing that by the BTP's creation. Help me.....help you...and the sim, grow and become a good rp site, not just about tossing someone down and having a roll in the hay so to speak for an hour but have substance.
Part of the joy of rp, is being able to get to the point where somone says.....take me, make me feel the love and pleasures that I have longed for you to give to me. Are there times that you'll just see someone and *have* to have them? Yes. We're pirates after all....but what else are you besides someone that pillages and takes what they want?
This is by no means putting anyone down. I do love you all and love to rp with you all.... This is try and help all realize that we need to build more.
Some of us played D&D, Vampire the Masquerade, Warhammer...not aways did it require starting a fight, but using your mind to solve a problem. And if you got to bed the barmaid.....that was just a plus.
Keep up the good work and please.....*PLEASE* fill out the profiles. You can even link the profile that you make into your sl profile. Let others know that you are more then just one dimensional. I know you all are. Use your imagination and become who and what you want to be.
