Anyone here considered Sakura Falls? It's one of those "wide audience" roleplays (the lore has to do with multiversal hub city bullshit) with primarily an anime focus.

I'm still confused about what OP wants. Is it the taking turns part they have an issue with? The writing part? Is it that people aren't moving their avatars around enough trying to mimic the actions?
Like, I could definitely use a description of how they imagine RP going.

cool autism bro, but when you sit back and look at the result it's cooperative writing
you are creating a story with someone else or multiple people, you're just acting it out moment to moment from the perspective of one of the characters

So give me an example then? What is roleplaying to you if not that?
Second Life is a primarily text based platform, so it's pretty fucking obvious that we'd use writing to do it. Is it that you want people to sit there and talk over voice? Describe what they're doing? Roll dice from a stat sheet?
You've been so unclear as to what you actually want my guy

No that's roleplay and I don't have an issue with how people roleplay on SL, I'm just saying the OP image is wrong because you ARE writing a story with someone else and even more so if you don't include non-diagetic/meta things like dice rolls and stats.
Some people go overboard with this and just emote like they're in a fucking book, describing their characters' thoughts and other unnecessary details that have no bearing on the actual RP going on.

Then it just comes down to what you're entertained by and what you actually want. If you don't want to play with people who write like that, don't.
If you don't want to play with people who rely on dice for everything, don't.
You'll find your niche, and if you can't maybe it's not on SL. In the end if you can't find what you're looking for then look somewhere else. Don't sit and whinge about things not being the way you want them to be. Go and find it.

It's a shame that there are no actual RP sims going on anymore unless you want to deal with people who use self-inserts and what-not. But it's really fun to fuck with those people, and at least I was able to stay in character while doing it.

I go to "poseball only" sims and still ALWAYS get ERP. Maybe be more selective of who you solicit or who you're solicited by. I found it helps to avoid people that enter the sim already completely naked or with freebie genitalia.

I wish, but that's just the nature of role-play. Unless someone (or you) has a story they want to tell you're stuck with boring ass bloodwyne drinking tavern goers doing their ultra passive walls of text with barely a glimmer of anything noteworthy.
I hate to fall back on the 'be the change you want to see' mantra, but that's how it do. Drive ahead and run the thing yourself or cross your fingers someone else will. With waves of subs and the “I'm a dominant BUT…” monsters around TGK, I wouldn't count on a shooting star.

and it never works
as far as the monsters, there has been plenty of convo in chat about how all the monsters are timid as hell. like adventurers walking the caves with weapons drawn and monsters will walk up to them like 'HELLO MISS NICE DAY IS IT NOT.' sworn enemies "lore-wise" just hang out in the tavern without incident. no one does anything.
sl rp is like a bdsm orgy but everyone is a sub so they all just stand around and silently stare at each other with pleading eyes. and the ones who are looking are autistically specific. just now i was in a sim with someone, we shared interests, and i asked if they'd like a scene. we went off and they poofed before anything even started. who knows why, maybe my hair color was wrong or they didn't like that i was wearing a tank top instead of a sweater or whatever dumbshit reason.

It's why I gave up on the minotaur empire gangbangs.
Every time it's the same "I wish for a darling little submissive girl to be my precious little one to spoil with romance and ten hours of para-rp build up referencing my terrible backstory and then she will be my rp gf" types that turn up. At a literal "use these sluts like meat" event.
If there was one piece of advice I could give to anyone taking their first steps into monsterhood, it would be avoid the urge to play a gentleman/civilised/human-like monster. Accept you're a villain and act the part. Some nights when TGK is flooded with subs, I'll hop on a monster alt and get play almost instantly. Pretty decent quality quite often too. You have to be willing to operate on the understanding that the sub probably doesn't want to fully consent, and almost definitely doesn't want to be your new long term pet.
Bam! "Thank you so much, I want to do this again, let's be friends". Easy mode.

There are 2 groups that already run sims, but should you want to make your own you simply need to purchase the rights to land with $L
Different places will let you rent different things. Full sims cost the most, some places let you rent partial chunks with a limit on how many objects you place.
If you want to just have a little house to fuck in, just buy a skybox somewhere and furnish it. That's the cheapest option.
If you want to get a bunch of people to congregate on your land and have the ability to build structures/design a whole sim, then by all means do that (and post the sim here when you do)
