>not writing multi-para in fifteen minutes

step up, shitters

I've found so much higher quality roleplay from people who write quality over quantity. I still remember a few years back when I thought length was everything.

But god damn 45 minutes to write any sort of roleplay related post is nuts.

>tfw you haven't roleplayed much so your typing speed has decreased so everything takes two to three times as long to write unless you're really in the zone

Fuq.

>post paragraph

>panic about taking too much time

>quit RPing

Usually how it goes for me

>>125455

Damn son. I feel for you.

>>125455

Are you me?

With the same extremely rare kink for men having sex with men?

>>125462

It's probably bloatflies having sex with men.

>>125449

If you play in notes that shit is fine but a lot of us don't have the time to sit on chat for ten hours to get six posts back and forth.

>>125477

Agreed. Note RP is where you go if you want everything to be lengthy and perfect without any real time constraints. Chat is supposed to be quick and spontaneous.

Mixing up the two in any way is for shitters.

>>125401

But that's too long to keep my boner

>>125468

I actually think it's a scat guy that also occasionally showed up with particular specific variations

>>125455

drop a profile, I'd love to see if we're at least compatible.

>>125468

Of course it's fucking me. Too bad I'm too scared to ask for profile help and my paranoia is kicking in again

>>125506

Go play more videogames until you're chill again, then shoot the post into profile help.

Lots of note roleplay are dead on arrival. Most of them won't last a week.

>Start roleplay on notes

>Your partner never replies back and couldn't even get one message done.

>Start the note roleplay.

>Partner loses interest within a week because they were never mentally prepared for this shit.

>They probably just want to bust a nut within the hour.

>Should of just played on F-Chat instead.

The biggest hurdle is what >>125668 mentioned. Don't play on notes unless you can keep yourself motivated for a lengthy period of time.

When I see someone who is super ecstatic to begin, 9/10 times they are going to burn themselves out right away. Calm the fuck down. Because we aren't going to finish this roleplay today, tomorrow, or the day after.

I won't deny, this can be brutal if your roleplay is lasting several months. For a certain roleplay I did, I was only replying once a week. This roleplay had already gone on for half a year. Eventually, we did finish! I could tell my partner was a bit saddened because she really wanted to start another roleplay with me again, but I have to make room for other people now.

Doing play-by-email strategy games like Dominions perfectly prepared me for f-list notes.

And actually having some studying experience. It's weird how little of it you need to pass most courses.

>>125702

>>125670

I pretty much have to primarily do Note RP because of my absolute shit schedule, so it's easy for me to not get too attached to any that I start up. That way, at worst, I shrug and move on when a partner inevitably stops replying, and at best I'm pleasantly surprised every time I get a new reply. That's how I keep myself going, at least.

I've had a few rps that nearly went to noteplay level with how often we had to pause and pick up later, but nothing that started out that way

>>125732

Sounds like a dreary experience, friend. I hope you find some fun.

It really depends. I much much prefer roleplaying where I have as much time as I want to make replies, usually varying between 1 and 2 days, but even 2 to 4 hours would be fine. I suppose I'm just looking for a different kind of roleplay.

Forums/e-mail I much prefer and it's hard to find people who are willing to write 2 or 3 paragraphs each time, I don't really know where to find them at all, actually. Almost everyone I have met wants to do quick chat RPs, and I simply don't like the fact that I can't express all the detail that I want.

I feel you, though. The times expected should be implied or agreed upon beforehand. Large amounts let me squeeze in little descriptions that make it so much more vivid, like sounds, emotions, thoughts, expressions, what's being said, what's happening meanwhile, etc.

>>126986

I like chat RP because there can be a lot of fine interaction. I'm happy to write longer replies when it fits, and happy to receive longer from my partner and have them take longer to write it, but when a back and forth conversation between characters is happening, I like the option for lots of short replies to make the conversation properly two-way, not just alternating. How can that be done when there's upward of a day between posts?

>six replies in a row are less than 5 words

>recognizes me on reroll later, asks why I disconnected

I can't even fathom why you people need a partner if you're just gonna write 4 pages of shit before anyone else has any input.

>>125525

>my OCD in keeping my inbox empty is probably making half the people I have note RP's with feel this way

>>129681

Your fault for not vetting your partner enough, TBH

>>129702

I don't know about the person you were playing with but in my case my intros are usually like that precisely to set things up. I don't usually expect more than seminars to para in response.

>>129701

Teach me your art, senpai. Ruthlessly reject anyone who hasn't written a novel in his profile?

>>129787

Or you could just go, "Here's a post that I've written before. Can you match this?"

"U-uh maybe."

>Immediately dropped.

>>129787

That's a bit better than just writing 3 paragraphs and then expecting them to keep the pace with no prior indicator, yeah?

If you're the type that -expects- someone to keep up a multi-paragraph pace then you of all people should be vetting the most.

>>129721

>He would

Would posters are the absolute scum of the Earth.

>>129787

Most of it is just gut feeling. I enjoy checking the 'info' page, it's a surprisingly good indicator of writing ability.

Measure enthusiasm in your planning, see if they bring any creative juices of their own. Do they have listed friends of quality, guestbook posts? There's no silver bullet, but there's lots of little signs to tell you if they're going to be a partner that puts their back into it - not necessarily good, still, but at least trying to be.

You can always get unlucky and catch them on a bad day. Sometimes you just get fucked.

Stupidity. Note RP is where people go when they want to take a day to post. F-Chat is where people go to take ten minutes to post. You're screaming at people who think "well okay, but maybe I want to take less then a day and more then ten minutes".

Short form RPs are time consuming. You have to spend every minute monitoring your computer screen for the reply. You can't do anything on the side. You can't even have other tabs open. It's boring as fuck. When you have thirty minutes to wait, you can take a shower. You can prepare a small dinner. You can return the overdue library book.

Read: para RP is for people who have lives and don't want to wait a day between posts. Short form RP is for Omegle-tier shitters who want to blow 3-4 hours staring at a computer screen waiting for a retard to shit out replies.
