[P2TM Chat] The Restaurant at the End of the Multiverse III

[Ameriganastan]

Looking for players for my newest RP idea. Like 3 or 4 more.

[Harbertia]

I'm interested and to begin discussion; I'd like a level of cave exploration- like what we're studying is in a cave or a sink hole or underground in some fashion. I think such will put our character in a closer gathering- could even have the caverns partially flooded so that part of what we are looking into is underwater.

Could we throw in some ancient mysteries as well?

Such mysteries would give us players a focus I do believe.

[Ameriganastan]

So anyone else interested in archaeology/exploration RP? I was thinking we can discuss in a group in terms of plot line and RP details

Ooh, I am!

I am REALLY getting tired of people in masse blatantly ignoring the rules of my Roleplays.

Do people on this site have short-term-memory loss problems on average or do they just do whatever the hell they want and expect you as an OP to just “suck it up or I can leave”?

I say be original in creation and what do they do? Base their whole damned planet off of a real-life nation. Like, just.....

What RP are you talking about? People in your Solis RP's have created really interesting planets. Sure, there was that one German planet, but you can just deny those apps. There is no use fussing over people who interpret the RP not exactly the same way as you do.

Is this the original OOC you were dissatisfied with? I know a Space German Reich is overrated and already getting really old, but you voiced no dissent at anything. All you did was post the RP. No one really know-knows or can get a feel for the direction you want unless you say what exactly goes and what doesn't.

No. Your wrong.

I made it very clear that I wanted everything to be original. Originality was in fact a highlighted rule. And by “cultural similarity” I was mostly referring to architecture and government.
(And this is where you say “well that’s your problem, you weren’t clear enough!”)

When I say cultural similarity, I don’t mean copy and paste a whole real-fucking-world nation as the point to point blueprint of your world. By that standard I’ll just wipe clean the whole space elf Empire and replace it with an empire of Germanic black-armored super-humans. Maybe make their leader a guy named Adlophus Himler.

Point is I really don’t think I should have to spell out letter-by-letter what the standards are.
It should be clear.

*Sits back and prepares for blitzkrieg on how unfair and mean I am” and why everyone’s apparently hesitant to join my RP’s*

It was just an app, you could have just denied it or told them to be more original if it didn't fit your definition of original. You're going to be rebooting that RP a hundred times if you reboot because someone apped as something too unoriginal for your tastes.

“Just an app”. The last time I booted up this RP half the bloody attendees broke that rule.
Instead of an original outer-space RP, we had Europe in space.

I just love how whenever I set such simple rules in my RP people break them willy-nilly and them —> I’M <— in the wrong for being disgruntled. I think I’ll join a few RP’s, break their rules, and then be totally void of understanding when I’m booted. In that case the tables would turn once more because you know it’s —> Moi <—.


Is originality that fanned hard???
I mean honestly ignore the rest of this and answer IS IT THAT HARD??

You're the OP, and it's an application. Just deny the application and thereby set your standards under finer points. If everyone reposted their RP because there was an app they didn't like, P2TM would cease to exist because [violet] would ax it for burdening the server with so many threads.

If you join an RP just to break the rules of course you'd be kicked out. If your app is over-powered or incompatible with the lore than you will just be denied with good justification, the OP won't restart the entire RP because they disagreed with your app. If you get accepted and break the rules repeatedly when the OP/Co-OPs told you to knock it off several times, of course you'll get ignore-cannoned and banned.

But you reposted your RP because an applicant made something you disagree with, instead of denying them and telling them why they're denied. They weren't even a part of the RP yet, they were applying to join.

And originality can be relative. So you gradually define your standards if you cannot hammer it in right away.

Whoa there, buddy. Calm down. Its just an RP. Step away from the keyboard, take a brisk walk, and do some breathing exercises. The simple fact is, if you have specific expectations, you should make them absolutely clear in the OP. But, the fact is, you can't expect everyone to act exactly how you want them to. This is cooperative story-telling, emphasis on cooperative. If you want to tell your own story without other people's whims infringing on it, don't expect them to do the heavy lifting for your worldbuilding and setting, and write your own book or something.

My question is why force everyone to be a democracy? Our own species which is only on one planet has a myriad of governments. Wouldn't it be the same for a people that have multiple planets?

IDK, why do video games force you to do certain things?

Whatever I don’t care. I’ll just bump the RP, terminate the rules, wipe the lore, say fuck it all and let everyone do what they want.

And for the record, you obviously haven’t even thoroughly read the OP so your opionion is void, hollow, nothing.

[Ace Lone]

All I wanted to do was write out a fun RP. But instead, people want to take my idea, do it there own way, or not partake.

Imagine getting this angry over something so incredibly trivial and utterly avoidable. If anything it just shows bad Operator skills. I think you should have a loooong chat with a mentor. I know a particular Dutchman who’d probably give some helpful advice.

I read the lore for Solis, and, frankly, I didn't see much originality.

Whilst it is nigh impossible to avoid tropes, the ones present in Solis are easily textbook and somewhat cartoonish.

An evil space-elf empire doesn't come across as too original, and when everyone is using democratic humans as dictated by the rules they're going to go with what they know.
The evil empire also spreads through worlds thoroughly crippling them if not genociding them. Vague tidbits about lazy administration and territorial over-reach aside, it sounds like every conquered planet was probably sent back to the medieval ages by what the space elves did, so I can't imagine any resistance lasting longer than a genocidal orbital bombardment, which sounds entirely within the realm of what the evil empire would probably do according to Solis' lore. I wouldn't be surprised if there is scarce a conquered system that isn't back in the stone age.

Resisting an empire is an interesting concept, that's been done many times, but the key is to put one's own interesting twist on it to make it special and unique.

On that note, nothing is truly original. Hell, what’s the point of even RP’ing then.
Hmmm?

That's just part of being an op, dont like it dont do it. You gotta guide people to an acceptable conclusion. If they resist just tell them to leave. You're the "God" of you're thread and hold ultimate power there.

My biggest problem is that I see other RP’s with great player chemistry, everyone is on par with the plot line, and everything flows smoothly.

You have a dedicated OP and players who are committed, easy to work with, and accepting of regulations and setting.

Then you have me; I write and boot up an RP with s positive outgoing attitude. Instead of the people like I described above, the OP is swarmed by a cluster of know-it-all egotist assholes that basically want to rewrite my whole idea and hammer me with all the flaws my RP has.

When I put my foot down, they all leave with snide remarks and leave my RP deserted.

One time I would like to attract desirable players, not a clique of dickheads who want to hijack and whitewash my whole idea.
