Sorry to hear. Was it multiple people or just a server you set up with another person for 1v1s?

@Blitz Inferno
The powergaming destroyed my RP server.

Yeah, I’ve seen that before. I know I did that myself when I was younger, always wanted to win.

RP I started few months back had my character essentially as another element of harmony but with a few changes going through the show but changed here and there. He takes on Nightmare Moon and gets his shit fucking rocked. Because aint no way you’re going to be able to take on an alicorn princess who managed to take on Celesita and nearly win. Even if the character’s a scrapper.

@Blitz Inferno
Been a problem in my roleplays for a while.

The villain is stronger, so someone just blurts out that he can OHKO the villain but chooses not to.

Another time, the antagonist was an Alicorn of unparalleled magical abilities. And a guy just counters everything he threw at them.

Ah, I’ve had that issue here and there with others. Hell, even with myself. Overpowering a foe or issue can be done right but if its done all the time, wheres the tension? The fear of failure? The DRAMA!?

@Blitz Inferno
Steamrolling every problem witbout taking a minute to ask, “does that kill tension? Does this even make any sense?”

Do you mean like reaching a specific goal or someone just steamrolling every problem in front of them?

Anyone else have a problem with powergaming in roleplays?

>says the one who comes to a dead forum to bitch about said forum.
Alright man, we gonna do the same song and dance every time?

@Pizzamovies
I’m just here to be here. Struck a nerve did I?

@Background Pony #6BA1
Okay and? Stay on Discord then, why do the things happening here matter to you? Clearly you have no reason to be here, and I’m pretty sure no one wants you here.

@Background Pony #6BA1
I don’t think this thread was ever used by people looking for mainly ERP.

Nah, good it’s unpinned. This all needs to die.

I usually see one half of the community quietly threatening each other’s while mods bitch in the discord while the other is underage begging for their super specific scat super inflation underwater fart fetish foal abuse fantasies with this canon character being fulfilled by their OC.

Y’know, normal things. Discord is seen as more stable because old guard who don’t post here anymore do over there and my closest friends actually let me perfect my writing with their own and there’s actually substance beyond sex.

@Cerebrate19
Maybe. Been feeling down about roleplaying after all the RPs that died in my server.

@Zaknel
introduce yourself to boz sometime, the guy is a great player and narrator, heck he is the atlas that lifted the evil council the longest.

@Cerebrate19
It does have the benefit of nearly limitless post length, but nobody I have roleplayed with has needed it all that long.

@Zaknel
it does, it offers more bursts of activity as you can more easily track if your partners are online and it offers a noise when they respond.

here you need to check manually, making the whole thing a fair bit slower.

RP is moving to Discord these days.

Anyway, thats my monthly check in over here. Ill be in the discord or furbooru.

Actually, no. And that does irritate me a bit because we worked hard to get it pinned.

@Zaknel
I don’t know, I haven’t been thinking about it

@Prince Artemis
Depends on what everyone else is interested in.

@Zaknel
Thats up to you, if I can figure out what to drop in your thing I might but if not then oh well.

@Prince Artemis
Do you still like the idea of housemates? Or would you want a different catalyst for us all interacting?

@Zaknel
Most of mine can fit in modern, and I’m sure I can find some for Victorian too.
