I'm posting this after some chats around and my other post where I went a bit insane on people.

Here's the deal. We all know that everyone else here can RP. We all know everyone else here wants to RP. Why are there no RP's?

'Cause we're all waiting around for someone else to tell us they want to RP. Well that's just silly. This isn't a high school dance, folks! No one is going to come to you and ask you for a dance. If you want to dance, you better get your ass on the dance floor. If you don't, you've got no one to blame but yourself!

This applies to me, too. If I want RP's, I can't just sit around and think RP's are gonna drop in my lap. None of you know what I'm up to over here, how are you supposed to know I want RP's? You can't know that, and I can't keep expecting you to.



Here's a few things I propose:

1. If you want an RP with someone's character, but you're having a hard time finding the balls to approach them on it, post a note here. Be like "Hey look, Frodo wants to talk to Arwen" or "Lothi really wants a chat with her dad" or "Aragorn's looking for his errand rider" or whatever. Then at least the ball is in someone else's court, yar?

2. Too many of us are scared to mess up someone else's rp plots by poking them for random RP's. To get around this, I suggest we all post some idea of where we're going with our characters. That way it's all out on the table and there'll be less conflicts and less reason to skip out on RPing with eachother.


We all want to RP. That's why we're here. I'll be the first to admit that I feel insecure and left out when no one pokes me for them. But I think I realised today that if I'm not poking anyone, they're feeling the same way I do.

And that just sucks.

Let's try and get over our fears and have some fun!
