So looks like the old thread hit the bump limit, but it was time for a new one anyway.
Where are you playing right now?
What do you like about it?
What do you hate about it?
Dish the dirt, spill the gossip, tighten those cliques folks, it's the RP thread.

Writing actions in third person but aimed towards the reader seems to make the most sense to me. As in "he fucked you in the butt really hard".
Separating the writer from the reader prevents awkward moments when it's third person aimed at another third person partner and both use the same pronoun. "She licked and kissed her lips and then proceeded to fuck her butt really hard" illustrates how wrong it can go sometimes.

Yes. Yes, I have.
I'm just talking from personal experience.
Most of what I've found falls into one of the two ways I've mentioned. While the latter is occasionally used with names, it's just not common to come across people that do it so.
I understand that it must sound like I choose a lot of trash fucking partners.

Try short stories. They get the concept of the story across whilst keeping it only to at most 10 pages.
Infinity series is my favorite for this since theyre books chock full of short stories, none being connected in any way even taking place in entirely different universes. You can easily find e-book torrents via google.

Another update because I've been shopping for a sim again.
- CoV remains high traffic. I took a chance and had a single scene there. Pretty much what I expected, with a rando thot throwing herself all over the guy I was there to see. Never went back and the dude has long since left, too.
- Xenark's traffic has improved somewhat, and it actually looking like a reasonable alternative now that it's not emphasizing DTF as much.
- Alderheim's traffic has doubled lately, and it seems they finally wised up a bit and stopped putting problem players in lead positions. Their race list is a little weird though - contradictory, even. Also having a frosty northern zone likely attracts those special breeds of retards who equate viking culture to gorean culture...
- Shades of Immortality, Revenland, Briarhaven and iRoleplay / Fallout Evolved all have shit traffic. Revenland is the only one I care about out of those four. Nixie works her butt off and she's so sweet she deserves to succeed.
- Morathai is gone.
- LELysium is closing. I guess that happens when the owner is picking staff/leads from her pool of fuckbois.
- The owners of Novus haven't sought treatment for their combined bullshit. I failed to mention the last time that they have player character gods, which is intensely lulzy. But they have good traffic - just beware random encounters with exposed penises.
- Hollow's End closed because one of the owners lost his job and he has much more serious shit to worry about. No hate.
- Unnatural is getting crushed by Nocturne, which is a WoD sim and uses the WoD system tweaked for SLRP. They use the damn d100 HUD... but you spend the XP you accumulate in the standard 'submit a notecard' fashion to get new dots on your sheet. There's a lot of individual specialization, and it's pretty neat. On the other hand they seem non-confrontational about the occasional problem player. Overall, not a bad time.
- Lynnea is hoping to open may 10th or so. I'm actually pretty excited about it. I had a good time the last time around, and they won't be doing the messy applications this time around.

It's really not that serious, guy. Most sims provide some sort of titler, and generally they're easy enough to use. Except the Prohawk HUD, which is way more complicated than it needs to be. Instead of simply giving you a dialogue box to type whatever into it, they make you use a media prim or external website.
As for what that text should say, massive paragraphs of irrelevant information is generally frowned upon... especially scents, lol. Amazing how many people in a snowy northern setting, far from anything resembling Madagascar or Mesoamerica magically smell like vanilla.... and/or don't seem to understand that nightshade smells like a particularly offensive medicinal syrup.
Anyways.
Generally my title will go something like this:
Drizztina the Badbitch
Young adult female drow
In good health
Most details beyond that are best expressed in actual RP - but exceptions can be made for unusual and persistent conditions. Is your persnickety bard uncharacteristically filthy today? Is that friendly, cheerful cleric walking around with a thundercloud on the brow and murder glinting in the eyes? Broken arm? All of that is acceptable to put in the titler and removed once resolved.

Also, those unusual conditions can provide an opening to be approached. "Did you fall in the Latrine, Oz?" or "Wow, is everything okay, Priestess Cam?" or "I told you that you'd get kicked one of these days if you keep trying to fuck horses, Red!"
lol anyways - on to the dicehuds.
Lots of sims use Iain Maltz' d100 HUD anymore. Most of the time, you just submit notecarded RP per the sim's guidelines, and that XP adds up to a flat bonus on all your rolls.
The perks are that even an autistic hedgehog can manage that much, and it's nice to be rewarded for being involved. The cons are that usually the cap is +80, which is ridiculous. Nobody should be able to beat someone else by that huge a margin. I don't remember if I read it in this thread or somewhere else, but some sims have a house rule that you can't roll higher than +30 against your opponent.
Also, you have to cam your opponent to roll against them, which is sometimes problematic and involves close inspection of butts.
Other sims, like Nocturne, use a different configuration. You gather XP and then spend it on skills, which can give you modifiers to certain roles or new special moves or new special equipment better than the base freebies.
Perks are that it lets you build the character with the skills you want, tabletop style. The playing field is somewhat more level for it.
The cons are that not everybody wants to go into that kind of exacting detail about it, and character sheets can cause headaches.
Overall, though, the standard d100 HUD is easy. Roll against to attack, your opponents HUD automatically rolls defense. Back and forth until someone has taken (usually) three hits.
The modified d100 HUD is more complicated, but it's also more satisfying - if you have carefully built your hunter to be an epic gun fetishist, then dem headshots are that much more pleasing.
LELysium is closing and I'm not sure who else is really using the prohawk hud besides Nova Braeden - but the general concept is that you have 2d10 for standard actions, but every additional post for an action (aiming carefully for a round, or casting a multi-post spell) gives you another 1d10 per round. I generally liked the system, it encouraged cooperation. The titler part of the Prohawk is annoying, as I said before.
Aside from those two, most other sims will just offer you a basid d20 or d100 hud with no mechanics for modifiers... they're simply for impartial resolution, and especially useful when faced with a powergamer or mary sue.
Any other questions, lil niggy?
