Bad RPers Suck!
Well, there's more than a few RPers who've not done credit to roleplaying, and here's a site to vent about them.
An example post:
A long, long time ago, I played on City of Heroes. I was in a slowly-dying RP group with a handful of other people. I was good friends with about three of them, and we played together frequently. The group leader at the time was seldom around. When I did see her, she fawning over her latest catgirl, being kind of an asshole to me, and/or spending way too much time working on our (fairly mediocre) base.
During one of her prolonged absences, the group ran out of money, which caused a lot of problems for us. I don't remember what the consequences are, unfortunately. To alleviate the problem, one of our other leaders made the base smaller and took it down to the barest essentials. Our leader came back, saw this, and immediately set about destroying everything except a handful of rooms, in one which she spelled out a little message for us that had to have taken well over an hour. She then posted on the forums about how we obviously have no respect for her and all the work she put into our (seriously, kind of mediocre) base.
Everyone was understandably angry, and no one wanked harder about it than me. I was having a lot of personal issues at the time, and then this little brat who had never done anything except ignore me and make uncomfortable in turns was sobbing and whining about how we had all ruined her safe space. I was probably being unreasonable, and I had a lot of trouble getting past it all.
Well, apparently I wasn't as past it as I thought. The day after I rejoined my old group after two years, she popped up in our OOC chat to thank them for letting her back in, and my first reaction was to ragequit the group again. Fortunately, I wasn't on that character, so I had a chance to compose myself, but all that old rage is coming back, and I don't know what to do.
I can't talk to her; I don't trust myself. I can't talk to anyone else because, hey, maybe she's changed after two years, and I don't want to ruin things for her if she has. I'm intending to ignore her as best I can, but I'm playing a catgirl, and I'm nervous about even being logged in at the same time as her. And on top of all this is this urge I've got to seek her out and subtly troll her.
