State of the RP;
state of the rp: general
SO with Cerealia ended, I'm all out of games! Honestly, I'm mostly relieved; I think I've been pretty burned out on the game RP front, and I'll just take some time to myself to recharge. Maybe later I'll look into joining another game in the future? In the meantime, if you're looking for a game, I'll plug Ty's here, because Ty's a bro and you should join her game here.
IN THE MEANTIME, it's PSLs and museboxes for me! If you ever wanna hit me up, my call me out post is over here! You can also hit me up whenever to figure out psls because I love psls and I want to ship and play out fun things with all of you. Points at eyes, points at you.
ANYWAY since it's 2017, I wanna just go back and take a look at previous games and such, before I talk about my current stuff.
Cerealia
MY HOME GAME FOR AGES...... I joined in October of 2014 so I was there from the second app round until the game closed. Wipes away a tear. I'm actually really relieved that Cerealia turned out the way it did; we got a proper endgame, things were resolved, and I had a good time. I'm really satisfied with it, and with all of the things I got to play out there.
- I had Sousei in the game from October 2014 to January 2016! That's a pretty sizeable amount of time, and I honestly think that his CR was some of my favorite, especially considering how obscure DnW is. But he became a solid presence for a lot of people, and holy shit his goodbye threads were so good. Thanks for playing with my obscure punk, guys.....
- I kinda had a revolving door of cute genki girls for a bit there UNTIL
- RUBY ROSE. I played Ruby from April 2015 to endgame. She ended up with a family and a ship and really great CR, even if I think I never 100% got a handle on her voice as much as I would've liked. I'm glad that I played her, but I am also so intensely burned out on her and RWBY in general... whoo boy. I think a break is very necessary at this point.
- and finally, this asshole who has the highest comment count of all of my cerealia characters despite having been played the shortest... ugh. I'm really glad that I picked up Leon. He was obscure as all get out, but so much fun to play, and his development in Cerealia was super great. HONESTLY, I STILL FOREVER WANT TO PLAY LEON... someone PSL with me.
for two years of Cerealia, five characters is pretty respectable... GOOD JOB ME
Seven Vices
waaaas kind of a mess on the modding end of things, though I can't say I can judge all too well since I haven't modded a short term game (yet). Still, I had a good time, and I met a lot of great people there, so it's okay that it kind of crashed and burned at the end. Also
- I got to play Selena, which had been one of my dreams for awhile now (I made this journal in January of 2015, to give you an idea) SO I'M REALLY PLEASED WITH THAT. Obscure Fire Emblems, the life and times.
The Cradle Project
WAS TAKE TWO on the murder mystery game for me and I think this is when I decided that murder mystery short term games are not for me. I guess I just don't jive well with them, because Cradle wasn't really a very good experience for me. Maybe it was character choice, maybe it was just how the game panned out for me, but I didn't have very much fun even stalking other people's threads. I'll probably bow out of murder mystery games and stick to mafia-based from here on out.
- I have no idea what I was doing, but people thought "holy shit, she's hot and she could kill me" about Tsukuyo a lot, so I assume I did it right.
ALSO, GINTAMA CHARACTERS ARE HARD, NOTE TO SELF.
62
I had a lot of fun here! Things went a little wonky-sour for me at points due to some OOC behind the scenes stuff going on, but that was no fault of the majority of the playerbase or the mods. I had a lot of fun with the concept, and with the murders, and with seeing how the game ended up panning out, so thanks for everything, guys!
- I also got to play my favorite loser ever here, so that was really great. Now I can finally retire Alice? feeling satisfied; I was never quite happy with his Vatheon run due to my own incompetence at playing him, but now I'm really pleased. He had a great arc, great CR and a lot of dumbass shenanigans, and it was perfect.
AND THAT'S IT... everyone i played in 2016 in one neat bow. I tried apping to subnautica for a hot second, but I think I was already hitting game burnout and had to bow out pretty fast. Still, it seems like a lot of people are having fun there, so I'm really glad for that.
Current Characters
ONWARDS TO WHAT 2017 WILL BRING which is a whole lot of ??? who knows
Robowest
SO I'M APPING HERE OBVIOUSLY my bro's murdergame, it was required. Don't be fooled, I don't know anything about the plot because for once?? She's keeping a lid on it??? I'm equally impressed, honestly. I'm excited, though; SO READY FOR MURDER AND THREADING.
- I am bringing this asshole and I already have a long list of things I want to do with him, so I'm hype as all get out. IT'S GOING TO BE A GREAT TIME, GUYS, I CAN'T WAIT.
Future Murder
I'm not looking to join any other murdergames at the moment; I might change my mind if one pops up that I'm really interested in, but for now I'm trying to take things a murder at a time. Still, I'm eternally looking for characters to play in murdergames because...it's fun...... SO HERE'S THE LIST
- i just miss my darling child, i want to play morgan again
- look at how adorable this shitty person is. Sign me up.
- i still contemplate how glorious it would be sometimes, if only fates wasn't such garbage
- ditto the above but at least i finally came up with a username for him, huzzah huzzah. LEO WOULD BE FUN ACTUALLY with his inferiority complexes and such, but do I want to accept that I'm a Leon Stan....... stay tuned.
I'M SURE I'LL COME UP WITH MORE, THIS LIST IS CHANGING BASICALLY ALL THE TIME but as per usual, I'm still a Fire Emblem loser.

so I guess tl;dr, I still like RPing and tagging, but lately I've been pretty inconsistent. I'm really happy with all of my threads, though, so bless all of you for tagging with me and I know I have some things to set up still too (points at eyes, points at Lucy).
I also dream some days of setting up a short term game that isn't a murdergame, but there's still a lot of mechanics that I'd have to work out to make that work. I think it'd be fun though...it might allow for playing character types that don't fit quite so well into murdering.
THAT SAID, I'M DEFINITELY JUST CHILLING OVER HERE ON THE RP SIDE OF THINGS until we all go turbo for murder probably.
If you read all of this congratulations I don't know why you would. STILL it was nice to get my thoughts out and put it all down, it's been quite the RP year.
