That should be horror stories.


I apologize for my stupid fingers.

My Inquisitor Lord Commisar Grav Chutes in, he has a bandolier of six vortex grenades, two combi-bolt pistol plasma pistols, and a Lascannon Digi-Weapon Ring on each finger. His entire body is highly advanced experimental bionics built for him by the Fabricator General Himself. He has a conversion field and a sacred relic. He's also met the emperor.

I'm paraphrasing, but that was pretty much his introduction. Guy was in his twenties according to other forum users and to this day I'm sure he was being deadly serious.

freeform is always a nightmare, but playing on IRCs usually isn't that bad.

>>20260876
so wait, is this some sort of 40k freeform? the hell?

Interesting mistake. I might start saying 'horries stories'; you never know, it could be a blessing in the skies.

Anyway, my story:

I'm DMing this game of Pathfinder for this chatroom I frequent and a few friends I know IRL because no one else is willing to do it. We run into a little trouble getting the characters up and deciding on a proper time, but we manage to get a session hammered out.

I start working through the nights to get maps done, encounters hammered out, and shit generally finished.

I remind everyone that day to show up. One guy says he can't. Another thinks he won't be able to, but that I should give him the session link anyway.

Well, OK. Then the time for our session rolls up. Out of five people, no one showed.

I've never DM'd again.

Online roleplaying generally consists of the following:

>No agreed setting or a very, very loose setting.
>People are allowed to play whatever they can imagine or steal from other settings.
>People only care about their own personal storylines - or if there is a main storyline, their role in the main storyline.
>It turns into personality cults where people worship the people with the strongest personalities and opinions and form into stuffy little cliques where they think they're the best roleplayers around.
>On this strange political stage, the only thing people really care about is who is fucking who. Becoming the lover of someone with a lot of power and reputation on a website grants you a bit of that respect as well.

>online RP'ing

I hope you like pretending to fuck.

My friend roleplayed on Gaia.

He met a girl there, and after exchanging a good number of private messages they ended up meeting.

After courting each other and moving in together, he changed dramatically, adopting all of her interests and views, and essentially becoming a male-ish version of this girl. Any remnant of his old personality and identity was constantly drilled out of him, and once they became married, I realized that my friend was dead on the inside.

He now spends his days looking wistfully out of windows, trying to remember what dreaming was like.

>>20260888
40K freeform, a few years back. It was awful. We were basically investigating a plaent that the 'Nids had "left for some reason", most of us were just grunts, y'know, survival horror starring the Imperial Guard.

Not that faggot. I left pretty quickly after that.

And yeah, freeform can be such a nightmare. I'm in a couple right now as I wait for the rest of my group's schedules to mesh properly.

First one is this fantasy-themed RP where three of the players are these all-mighty dragons by night who had a beach episode right after wiping out a battalion. I found that... Iffy to say the least.

2nd one's actually not so bad; Ravenloft-themed gothic RP about a power struggle between 3 vampire siblings. Those guys are like the Borgias only with less of the sex. Just started, so I'm waiting to see how it goes.

My problem with both of them is really all on tangible details like their writing...

It was a few years back, bud. Long gone by now. I had played an alien whose race had just discovered long term space travel. They were a plant-like race and as such required water and sunlight to survive. Apparently, the energy from the Earth's sun was much stronger than that of their homeplanet's. So they had sent me down to survey the planet on a very long term reconnaissance mission. Then I found the entire world going to shit because super powered baddies were shit stomping everywhere.

"Using the powers granted by the Earth's sun, the Alien now known as Sunburst, made his debut on the superhero stage!"

Damn, that was fun.

Oh gods...

Aw man, curse Gaia for not keeping older PM logs. I can't find the AWESOME fight scene where my character draws his dual katanas (one ice, one fire, obviously) and goes after the vampires who stole his wife (who was also pregnant).
There was no fight scene btw, just the vampires relinquishing her or something.

Can't help you then, I'm afraid.
København here.

Though I'm open to the idea of finding a couple of other danes and running it on Skype.

Yeah, I became somewhat disillusioned with Freeform RP over the course of about a year and a half. That was really all it took. I RP'd on a forum with a big kitchen sink (fantasy, sci-fi, alt-realities...) setting where pretty much anything went, and it was just a whole lot of whining and crying as a few mediocre RPers passive-aggressively attacked people, really bad RPers spammed their bullshit and either stuck around forever or left in a glorious huff, people put spoiler tags around hidden borderline gorn and other shit, and the odd good RPer sobbed uncontrollably in the corner and wondered why they couldn't leave.

I quietly left. Then I moved on to an MMO, mostly intending just to play with a friend, and we both got sucked into a wonderful world of guild drama, goldshire-tier RPers flexing their super saiyan dick-waving characters, and other bullshit like otherwise nice but far too clingy RPers that bordered on just plain fucking irritating.

Now I only roleplay with close friends, and in one on one or small groups to boot. Fuck the mess of freeform RP. There are just too many people and it's not worth weeding out the good ones from the bad.

>>20261232
Yeah, that would be pretty cool.

On another note, I've got to run in five minutes or so.

Send email so we can arrange something.

I roleplayed a bit in forums for Nationstates. In which, well, you play states. It was extremely freeform by nature which was one of the biggest draws except when it lead to giant, infallible Mary Sues as everyone's nation was their personal baby or self insert and people taking turns for their opponent, which was forbidden but people still snuck it in. And on a more autism level of annoyance was people roleplaying as one of your ministers or god forbid, your leader, which I imagine would be even worse in an RP where you are just the one character.

It was still great when you were playing it more casually, but I am way out of my league with all the armchair generals in the official forums.

And to actually answer your question, my biggest horror story would be someone effectively going "your nation breaks under the strain of war and you have mass uprisings because I don't agree with the economic or political systems of it therefore it doesn't work".

>>20261320
e-mail

I think

No idea if anyone remembers me, but I'm currently in a freeform roleplay.
Basically, I have no idea what the story is but there's several dozen vampires and a DEMON KING and some drama.

I've been told eight times that "I CAN DEFEAT YOU WITH A SWIPE OF MY PINKY" and then after calling them out on it, they've teleported away. 8 times. EIGHT. TIMES.

Our party consists of Me, a human. With a mace. That's my character. A big bearded man with a mace. In a land of vampire demon angel weebs.

An alchemist. (Not some anime shit. He actually mixes chemicals and drinks them/throws them)

A ninja with some latent demon blood. (Using it shortens his lifespan. He has never used it.)

A Frost Demon (Actually not a Mary Sue, plays his character like a slightly arrogant asshole who hates everyone equally. Joined us in fighting the demon king because he's actually the son of an ACTUAL DEMON KING and felt insulted.)

Another fa/tg/uy. An old gray wizard with magic that usually hurts him depending on how powerful the magic is.

A dragon, human form is a guy with horns and wings. Just joined our party, not a douchebag.

Oh and recently a traveling priest joined us. He too has a mace but his magic allows him to seal demons. He's the Frost Demon's brother (IRL) and his character was made out of necessity.

>>20261328
I'll let you do the organizing, I think.

Still sending an e-mail to >>20261338

>>20261340
Our enemies include "THE DEMON KING ALTAIR" who successfully fought off me, the alchemist, the frost demon, and the Ninja at the same time.
Let me explain how.
He used his WINGS to fight the Ninja.
He used one hand each to fight the Alchemist and the Demon.
And he fought me with a floating sword.

Just as we were getting the jump on him, a random girl blocks my mace. Ten year old witches come down the stairs and yell at us, and his wife yells at us "WHAT GIVES YOU THE RIGHT TO KILL MY HUSBAND? HE HAS A FAMILY."

Our Ninja responded with this little gem.

"Your husband became King by virtue of killing the queen. Did she not too have a life? A family? Ones who cared about her? What gives him the right to enslave others? To slaughter as he pleases?"

She ignored him. He knocked us all back, and teleported the Alchemist away. I grabbed Alchie's jacket and jumped out a window. The ninja smoke bombed off. The Demon shook his head and walked away.

I sort of lost interest but we met a few fa/tg/guys. One of them left (COME BACK WE MISS YOU.) because I sort of lost the will to continue.
Anyways, now we're back. There's some sort of overarching story now. My group just wants to start a safe haven and provide shelter to the refugees of the coming war.
It'll be great.

I have a few more stories, but nothing too long or exciting.

>>20261373
Fights only work between people who are bros OOC (And thus won't pull bullshit on each other, and will normally edit if you call them out), or if you plan the outcome ahead of time. Otherwise?

No joke, I know an RP where the guy flew another guy into the sun.

>>20261338
Try sending me one instead.

>>20261232
Another danefag near København.
Can I join in as well?

I ran an RP tavern in Ultima Online for a little while. Does that count? As with any RP group in real life or on the internet, we had the same mix of guys. People who think they're awesome but suck. People who try too hard. People who get anal when anything bad happens to them. Then you have the people who actually got quests from me and completed them. The bros who actually want to roleplay together.

>>20261408
Yup, email me or post your own email. Whatever floats your boat.

>>20261401
The one I was thinking in particular there was that horrible hodge-podge of whatever anime and videogames are popular that any teenage one of those with no restrictions becomes. Someone being thrown into the sun would not even have rated taking a screenshot of.

>>20261412
I did that in WoW a couple of times actually. Only once did someone who wasn't one of my friends prior play along. No joke, I sent some low level guy who was begging for money on a quest to go collect some boar meat or something. He came back about half an hour later with exactly as many as I'd asked for.
Dude got handed far more money than someone his level could have needed, just for actually playing along.

>>20261391
We had one douchebag, Nero, based on the guy from DMC.

He PM'd my little motley crew

"So all I've seen you do is start fights and then bitch. What's your guy's deal?"

The thing was we've never started anything. My first interaction in that roleplay was walking down a street when I was called out by a Vampire-Demon. She told me that she was all powerful and could destroy me. Then started walking away.
I told her she was scared.
She turned around, LAUGHED, posted a video to some anime transformation sequence, then proceeded to showboat more.

My alchemist buddy walks in on the scene (It is a street after all.) and greets me.

She leaves with "WELL I HAVE A BETTER IDEA WHY DON'T YOU HUMANS JUST FIGHT IT OUT. BYE.".

>>20261425
Mail sent.

What gets me is that, even when they have huge amounts of "Common sense"/"Common Courtesy"/"Don't Godmode" rules and stuff, people still completely ignore them all the time whenever they can get away with it to make their own character more badass.

Or you get the fucks who make characters who remark IC about people's characters based upon what the PLAYER thinks about those characters, and sees all IC returned fire as an attack on them as a person.

I also used to know this guy who used a huge fuckoff multi-railgun in a crowded bar, and then got pissy when everyone present started writing about the enormous collateral damage it caused, because it's a fucking MULTI-BARRELLED RAILGUN.

"Stop godmodding my bullets!"

The tears were delicious, because he was a total cunt.

A vampire-werewolf-demon who, on the odd occasions he didn't use "u" or "ur," STILL did not know the difference between "your" and "you're," with daily activities consisting of brooding, being dark and mysterious, and strangely not suffering from any side effects or weaknesses of being a vampire, a werewolf, or a demon.

His best friend, a paranormal hunter of some sort who hardly did any hunting and was more into chasing ass. Literally EVERY female character was hit on him or another one of his characters CONSTANTLY. At one point he somehow ended up dating one of the other roleplayers, and if someone got anywhere NEAR his girlfriend's characters, he flipped out.

A stoner russian who just got involved accidentally (Me), a token slut party member, and various others with no notable personality quirks.

I eventually got banned for telling the vampire-werewolf-demon-guy to fuck himself.

>>20261447
Why did you stick around that place? Just to hang out and RP with the crew of yours? Sounds like you have to put up with a lot of bullshit.

>>20261549
In a land were everyone is a mary sue, it's hilarious to walk around as humans when no-one actually dares attack you for fear of godmodding.

Not that guy, but something like that I'd bet.

My only horror stories are stories involving me. Over the years I've freeform roleplayed since I was 11 years old (I'm nearing 24 now). I picked up online tabletop a year back but no horror stories to talk about yet, and I hope to keep it that way.

The fact that I don't recall any horror stories from freeform, despite the fact that I'd been doing it for over a decade, is a real testament to how horrible I was as a kid.

My first character was a generic vampire who I based off Angel from Buffy the Vampire Slayer. I didn't even watch the show but I saw it momentarily while flipping through channels and thought, "Yeah, cool." Whenever I'd walk into the Red Dragon Inn (AOL 56k... ;_;), I'd say something like, "anon walks in grinning," because I used to think grin meant to grimace.

Later on, I roleplayed as a saiyan kid monkey in a DBZ freeform. Equally awful.

I'd like to apologize to anyone I was roleplaying with back then, who are now probably in their thirties and forties. Sorry guys. :(

>>20261587
Obvious troll.

>>20261614

... Wait, what?

Guys... uh.

It's possible to play a non-human character in a fantasy RP without being a Mary Sue and/or godmodding fuck... right?

Am I going to have to admit that making characters based on my drawings - no matter how much they end up having cliché things like funky eyes or tails or skin colours or whatever-the-fuck - is bad and I should feel bad?

Because I've played and enjoyed characters who were wall-crawling half-demon thieves with speech quirks, but they still nearly got taken out in any one-on-one fights with normal people and tended to just run the fuck away when shit went south. Does that mitigate it at all?

No?

Fuck.

>>20261640
Having a few points on the Mary Sue Scale does not immediately mean you count as one.

But what if I like to pretend I'm a kawaii schoolgirl while doing it?

>>20261640
The big question is, are you having fun?

>>20261549
Still am sticking around.
I joined with the intent of bringing it down.
I'm slowly succeeding. The main bad-girl lost her powers. Altair's son ran away. The GM is "board". Nero is "channeling his power through the earf clan" to open some gate or something.

Basically I get to fuck up both sides of a war soon.

>>20261656
That's starting to get a bit too far up that scale.
Is the character's only "flaw" being "too beautiful" or "clumsy (but in a comical way and usually only falling into the arms of whoever you want to bang this week)"?

>>20261672
Subterfuge always leads to disappointment in the end.

>>20260858
Heard a story from a friend, nothing fancy

He gets invited to a server (which is all anthro all the time) by a friend of ours. Now our friend is incapable of being creepy about that sort of stuff but the other RPers there are not so restrained. With this in mind friend one made his character and electric lizard man thing, as a bodyguard. When ever anyone tried to "pet" him or any other such creepy behavior they would get shocked.

>>20261685
I'm no the guy who actually posted that.
I just did it for amusement.

>>20261672
If I know those, suddenly a somehow even greater evil power will emerge and do... something of some kind of evil act, and then disappear. And shit will just go back to status quo so the Mary Sues can continue to sparkle their way around town threatening each other.

Funny thing is, the wall-crawling half-demon awkward coward thief from before accumulated a whole lot of swag through in-character shit. It still makes me laugh how much the other players let me get away with stealing or acquiring.

Somehow, said character ended up with piles of gems, more than 500 gold, whole suits of armour, a chest that gave them whatever they wanted to wear... need I remind you that all of that is stuff other people created and then let me steal when I tried?

Then again, having a pocket-plane stored in a hat might have been cheating a little when it came to transportation.

And then, due to a magical item that I acquired during an RP arc having to be forcibly removed, they later ended up having a fucking cyborg hand.

Like, seriously. I feel so terrible for how much cliché bullshit that character had, but I swear I didn't plan any of it, people just liked to give them shit and save them whenever they were going to die. At one point, when a golem exploded, they took a shard of metal to the gut. I was going to have them die, but like four people were like "I HEAL YOU" and they were saved.

Why do other people insist on slowly turning my characters into magic cyborgs sitting on top of a mountain of swag? I makes it hard to argue that I'm not playing a Mary Sue twat. Somebody even had a character build a house for one of my characters once. I don't even fucking know.

>>20261685
Yeah, that's not me.

Said character was pretty damned flawed despite the swag and ridiculous checklist of clichés. They were a coward through and through, scared shitless of fights or dying or anything like that, and would get the fuck out of there when things went anywhere approaching south. They'd leave people to die if they had to, no matter how terrible they felt for doing it. Inherently selfish and greedy, but it wasn't so much that they were a horrible person (they had flashes of genuine care for other people) but more just that they were too afraid of people to let themselves get close enough to care about them.

Not to mention the fact that they were a terrible fighter, and absolutely pissweak when it came to things like endurance. Their only real strength was being fast and sneaky, and apparently quiet and unassuming enough that people liked them and kept giving them shit or not noticing that they were only there to steal your stuff.

Fuck, I'm pleading a terrible case for this character, aren't I? I guess I just want to believe I wasn't terrible, since it was the one thing I enjoyed playing back then.

>>20261806
They sound pretty reasonable to me actually.

I used to play freeform pokemon RPGs. Sometimes I was a trainer, but most of the time I was an average gardevoir shaman with no outstanding special abilities except being able to summon rain by dancing and altering perceptions on certain weak willed people by causing them to hallucinate.

Freeform RPGs are such bullshit. There's no actual structure. Everyone is a fucking Mary Sue with some sort of TRAGIC DARK PAST AND EVERYONE HATES ME! And the pokemorphs. Oh god, the pokemorphs! They were fucking everywhere, stating it as their reason for people hating them. "OH, WE'RE SO DIFFERENT, FUCKING HUMANS!" crap gets old real fast.

Human trainers were often attacked or murdered. Non-pokemorph pokemon players were consistently mocked, especially if they played a less anthropormophised version of a pokemon. And the sex. Oh god, the sex. It was like one big pile of moving flesh, basically. Those rooms if they were real must have been covered in a really thick, sticky resin that no amount of club soda could wash out of your skin.

Because I wasn't playing a special snowflake, I was basically neutered and couldn't actually affect a plot outside of fucking my way through most scenes. I basically became a manipulative whore who was ineffective outside of the bedroom; and it did nothing but cause drama.

Never fucking again. This kind of shit right here, and the stuff I've read above makes me hate furries even more.

>>20261855
The chatroom that got me started on "roleplaying" was a Sonic the Hedgehog based one. I cannot remember many specific details, thank you all deities in every pantheon whose spheres of influence include the creation of alcohol.
But that does sound VERY familiar.

>>20261750
One of the big things about Sues that makes them so annoying is that they start off with all of their bullshittery. They don't actually have to do anything to gain all of their super awesome powers or anything because it's all explained by their backstory.

By actually having to accumulate all of the overpowered things you have over time, you are automatically a better roleplayer than a large amount of the 'roleplayers' who make Sues.

It's not so much the cliche stuff that's bad, it's how it's used (or not used) that's the problem- sticking to a personality and responding to situations in an appropriate manner is a cornerstone of effective roleplaying. Build on that and you'll be better than 95% of most freeform RPers.

>>20261855
Yeah, I stopped playing Freeforms specifically because of the drama and the self-righteous elitism and shit like that. Unless you were a super powerful character it was near impossible to influence the plot, so I stopped trying. The last things I was doing before I faded off the forum I was on were just social RP things, which were fun but there was just too much OOC drama. Too difficult to police, as well. At the very least the board I was on was PG-13, so I only had to deal with implied sex at worst.

Except violence. Apparently it's okay to graphically eviscerate people, but touching someone's dick is evil.

Oh god, don't get me started on Sonicfags. They're the worst part of the furry fandom... yes, even worse than babyfurs, otherkin, and fursuiters. Bronies start getting close to Sonicfags, but by close, I mean they're the closest... and there's still a large gap between them and sonics....

>>20261915

Yeah, I never understood that. It's ok to talk about smashing someone's head in, but as soon as you start talking about sex and sensuality, the hammer comes in. Even if I implied that my character was sexual (she's a shaman, of course she's sexual) but didn't directly approach it, they got insanely butthurt.

I blame autism.

Some of you probably remember this. Some of you may have seen it before, but don't know where it came from. So I'm going to tell you all a story, about the time /tg/ went a raiding on a kiddie (In reality, 14-16 year olds) RP forum.

Our story starts with one elegan/tg/entleman posting some of the character profiles he had seen on the site, and from there, it sorta snowballed. In the end, we got four people together to launch a raid. It was a cyberpunk setting with bullshit superpowers like emotion manipulation, so we decided to roll in as techpriests (And one tech ninja.) All was going well, no obvious flags, our techpriests were doing nothing but fixing shit, and in general, having more personality than the actual "Super srs guyz" characters that these people made.

Then the DMPC stabbed the shit out of a robot. So we captured her, held her down, made her apologize to the poor machine spirit, then chucked her into a dumpster. Then one of our players took pity on her, and said she killed an AI within the robot. So there was only one logical thing to do for any loyal follower of the Credo Omnissiah. BURN. DOWN. EVERYTHING. Our four man band hotwired a pickup, broke into a music store and stole speakers and an electric guitar, and barreled down the highway to city hall while playing the Star Spangled Banner Hendrix style to purge the Abominable Intelligence, and bring down the omnissiah's wrath through orbital strikes on the city. And make all the reactors go boom at the same time.

We gave them two hours to stop us. They didn't. So the city was purged in fire and brimstone, and we all walked away smiling, as the DM and everyone else looked shocked that they had been derailed so hard. They tried to recon it, but it failed, and the RP fell apart soon afterwords.

>>20261969
I remember that. Good times.

>>20261992
Yeah, it was fun. The reactions on their faces to the fact that we all committed suicide to destroy the city was pretty priceless.

>>20261969
When was this? Can't seem to remember.

>>20262009
May I think.

>>20261969
Would you want to stop robo-Jimi Hendrix from sticking it to the man?
I think not.

>>20260913
Succubi, amirite? Can't live with 'em, can't live withou- wait, what the fuck were we talking about again?

>Then one of our players took pity on her, and said she killed an AI within the robot. So there was only one logical thing to do for any loyal follower of the Credo Omnissiah. BURN. DOWN. EVERYTHING.

How exactly is that "taking pity"? Unless that's like taking mercy like "the emperor's mercy" which really isn't mercy at all.

>>20262053
In the same way that fire and brimstone is sympathy for gays.

>>20262053
Well... we originally were going to treat her like a saint that could find the AI's so we could purge them. Unfortunately, she went off and became all emo. So we said "Fuck her" and started our own AI purge team without her. And with blackjack. And hookers.

You know that anecdotal story about the newbie GM who thought he was supposed to make the players roll for EVERY action their character made? The one who made a character roll a Dexterity check while taking a crap to avoid failure?

The one who ruled that the failed roll meant the PC blasted shit all over everything and everyone?

I was in that game.

Also, more gems from the site.

"This is our world and we manipulate it as we please. But there is an order.
Me- creator/ god
Randomly chosen girl- goddess
Vampires/werewolves/nekos-top class citizens
Fairies/elves/other mythical creatures- middle class citizens
Humans- lower class citizens
Even though there are different class citizens each level has its benefits from the god and/or goddess"

Yeah.
And the dudes signature:
"You may break my bones, but you can never break my spirit.

Lord Dracula will rise again and when he does my enemies are in trouble.

My body is of Earth, but my mind is in an undiscovered universe.

Why must I be tortured by this planet?"

>>20262140
As in the literary Dracula or some weird dumbass demigod thing from their "game"?

Here's a funny little anecdote:

I once ran a roleplay on a forum filled with 13 - 18 year old kids, back when I was one of those kids. It was meant to be a Diablo-esque gritty horror-fantasy with legions of undead rising up to lay waste to the countryside at the behest of some evil warlord, yadda yadda. You know, typical "band of heroes gets together to rally together and venture into the heart of darkness" sort of thing.

So I'm approving all these bios, and they're pretty reasonable. One weeaboo-ish rogue girl, but fairly muted in power. Otherwise we've got mercenaries and fallen holy-men and stuff like that - traditional low fantasy fare.

And then there was Carlos. Carlos the Summoner.

Now Carlos had a vaguely defined set of powers. He was a summoner, y'know? He summoned things. I waved it through, not catching the obvious warning flags of vaguely defined but potentially limitless cosmic power. Hey, I was young.

As soon as the character begin to talk, Carlos starts to internal monologue about the time he accidentally wiped out a village to kill off a few heretics or something. He broods and angst over his apparently godlike power in a wall of text that I must not have really read that closely - or maybe young me was just too much of a pussy to call him out on it.

>>20262171

The forces of darkness attack the city, cutting our meeting short. The only escape is through a secret tunnel, and we must flee. The king is too proud to leave the defences, and the city will fall at his command, but so will we if we stay. We have to press on as quickly as possible.

Suddenly, Carlos summons his infinite power to call upon an old debt with a divine being. He tells us that he has this under control, and summons an archangel to distract the armies of undead marching on the city. Then he casually walks off to the secret tunnel as if nothing happened.

During the escape, several of us are gravely wounded - except Carlos. Carlos the Summoner. He just broods and walks ahead of us. He's just too cool for us. People slowly started to drop off as Carlos began to summon legions of golems to carry us to our destination on gigantic rock chairs, and we all silently agreed, I think, that it was best to leave the quest to Carlos. The game died.

Years later, I got curious. I found the old RP, and I found Carlos. You know what I found?

His last post on that very same forum was from mere months ago, asking if anyone wanted to RP a Pokemon trainer turning into a pokemon and fucking.

Honestly, my online RP'ing experiences have been pretty enjoyable. I was the Dealer for a Wild Cards group over IRC, which was really fun, and when one of the players left, I then had the chance to DM an AD&D 2e game, which was also great. Had to leave for various reasons though, which sucked.

>>20262369
I'm pretty sure Pluton (yay for English transliterations) was the dude who presided over the Underworld (Hades).
And yeah, appearing as a young maiden is another thing, pretty much everyone back in the day appeared as a young maiden (aside from some oddities, like the Fates)
>>20262380
Pluto was the God AND the place, but originally it was just the god.

Source: actually being Greek and paying attention to the 3 years of Ancient Greek History (and also Mythology).

This thread is making me think of the character I made up over years to use as a self-insert into non-vidya media I consume like books, shows and so on.

I could speak about.. it if anyone wants to hear. I don't think I've come up with something faggier, though.

No, Pluton/Pluto Was the Roman god of the Dead and ruler of the underworld, as you pointed out, named Hades.

Hades is the Greek god of the Dead and ruler of the underworld, eponymously named for it's ruler.

Just checked another book on it I have, Pluto was both the dude and the place.
For further proof, look at Kronus and Rea's kids. One of them was Pluto. But Hades was ALSO the name of the god, so yeah, all is correct.

Okay
H-h-here I go

Bio stuff
Bascially, he's this dimension-traveller who tours through different universes, pretty much whatever book/show I'm using. He interacts with the environment and characters in my stead, but can do little to effect the plot because it 'destabilizes' the area. He also has powers literally on what he believes and what he likes, he uses all sorts of technology that he knows shouldn't work, but does because he thinks it might be possible after all, along with general energy blasting shit. To become one, one simply has to sort of achieve CHIM.

To survive and as a source of power, he needs 'humanity', energy generated when things happen that can invoke emotions in humans, or other things. People with the same power thus tend to pose as gods or demons or otherwise when they go around farming humanity, though he doesn't care much for it and prefers being mostly a silent observer. The explanation I thought up for them not subsisting on their own humanity is that existing like this consumes more humanity than they can produce, so they have to go around seeking it out.

As for his own powers, he uses it to power a robotic left eye with geenral vision augments and seres as a port for him to interface directly with computers, a robotic left arm that looks no different from a normal arm but is significantly stronger, and brain implants that allow him to control his short-term memory and emotions and so on. He can also do generally crazy shit with his reality-bending powers so long as he believes it's plausible, but relies on mind-control and space manipulation more than anything. He uses whatever weapon fits the ocassion, usually dressing himself to fit the setting of wherever he's in, but always has a spear nearby because of how useful it is and how much I like spears.

Being practically immortal means he's had plenty of time to learn science and shit, and so his base (did I mention that all dimension-travellers liek him have a pocket space that they have complete control over?) is filled with machines and a bitchin' lab and stuff, though how much of it actually works and how much of it is just his powers manifesting, he doesn't know, though he wants to learn more so he can more finely manipulate his powers rather than just hoping it works as he thinks it will. He has a huge computer system where he regularly backs up his memories to insert into clones that are released if something ever happens to him.

He has little fear of his clones overtaking him because they have a MAD scenario of some sort, if one of them decides to kill and replace him they risk having another clone kill them to take their place as well since it sends a message.
The whole clone thing was also sort of tied into a plot with his identity, he uses a variety of aliases because he doesn't remember which one of them is his real anme anymore, and can't remember up to a certain point in his memory. He suspects that he's a replacement clone and/or that he for some reason wiped out his own memories, but generally doesn;t give too many fucks anymore and just continues adventuring through the multiverse with his powers

And I think that's about it. God.

Highlights include my grey knight shoving a power first through the lass who started the game and the other poster trying to godmode everyone to death with his super powered demon dog, before we crushed it's skull and he got upset and ran off.

A dimension hopper assassin that was basically Jace mixed with Batman mixed with furry
Another dragon-kin who instead opted for the unmentioned 'Super-seduction' option

I'm currently designing a tabletop RP in which the players take on the roles of Mary Sues in precisely this kind of environment. It is their objective to escape the horrible story they occupy either through death or obscurity despite the universe itself existing to glorify their every action.

Does anything like this exist? Would anyone play it?

The first RP I ran was pretty much me and a couple of other guys being dorks and jumping dimensions so we could do things like set Sephiroth's hair on fire and clone Samus Aran.

Then one of the dudes (who happened to be an immortal dragon vampire caveman thing for some reason, friend to the player who owned the exotic alien scientist from a race of beings who like to destroy planets and civilizations wholesale just because they don't have absolute control over what their citizens do) introduced an equally-immortal demon tiger golem thing that he's been fighting since the dawn of time...

Long story short my character (200 year old shapeshifting alien avian psychic with a Forte/Bass ripoff power-suit and master of a superconglomerate which doubles as his private army) manages to beat the evil dude up with a giant-ass energy attack which literally burns his arm off for using it.

That...was the highlight of the RP before drama and GitS ripoff mechs and the alien chick's psychotic daughter (partially my fault) decided to ruin everything.

After that I migrated over to blkdragon*inn to play with the vampires who sat by windows in broad daylight, undead necromancers with their own harems, and the golden-winged angels with perfect bodies and 14 foot wingspans...that they mentioned every time they walked in...

You know guys, as much as I admire what you have done part of me kind of feels bad about you intentionally ruining the fun of other people. I know what they were doing is terrible and that I was not there to see it all but still it feels really kind of a dick move to do this with others.

You've obviously never experienced the horrors that were put to rest there.

>>20263914
Fuck that shit. When we went over to rolepages I logged on there a few times to watch the terrible sues.


One of them introduced himself floating into the bar and had a trenchcoat black angel feathers.


A TRENCHCOAT.

MADE OF BLACK FUCKING ANGEL FEATHERS.

Those people deserve every ounce of pain they get.

>>20263914
Yeah, well. I'm pretty sure everyone has been at the "I'm an edgy cool Mary Sue maker" stage at some point in their internet history (that is, if they started browsing the internet that early in their lives). And some day, the victims will hopefully look back and think "I probably deserved it"

>>20264205
I wish someone were kind enough to call me out on my faggotry. I didn't Mary Sue much, but I did steal a lot (though I at least went far enough to add a fresh coat of paint to it.)

I suppose I was too young and didn't have a wide enough world view to have the capacity for originality.

>>20264271
Well, I did make a terrible sue character once. It's a long story, but in short, some guy on the DoW2 forums came up with the idea that we should make a chapter, create lore for it and each have a character within the chapter. A bunch of ideas where thrown around, but we ended up with the Storm Ravens (or Storm Eagles, can't remember). They where a drop pod based chapter with a heavy use of stims and combat drugs. I created the Captain of the 6th Company, Scarlett. I originally concieved him and his company as a bunch of ragtag outkicks who where always sent on suicide missions and somehow always survived just fine. A mixture of humour and tragedy where used since they where effectively dead men. The other guys in the thread suddenly turned them into badass Black Company esque sociopaths, and suddenly Scarlett and his second in command (another guy's character) where 10000 years old and had fought alongside the Emperor. I guess I'm at fault for not putting a stop to the stupidity sooner.

Then some other guys who where pissed that their own chapter pitch didn't get picked wrote a long "Our chapter kills your chapter" fic and the thread got locked.

I left the forum soon after that.

I may need a priest...damn you all. I thought I had left my dark freeform sueing past behind! I must repent for the atrocities I committed in my youth.

Ah, nationstates. I was part of a group that played an alternate history freeform there back when it was on the Jolt forums. Slowly we added rules and economic simulations. And then we got kicked off the forums because apparently roleplaying alternate history on NS was against the rules. The only reason we got noticed was because we wanted to be sure that if we included national socialism in our run up to our WW2 that it would be cool.

So over the course of like, six years now we've kept playing off and on in different incarnations on our own forums. Shit's pretty cash.

>>20264506

>>20264604
Years ago on the Funorb forums I...I would rp in the freeform style. There were so many...I...I was tainted by their sueishness and began to slip. I left but no matter how many times I did I always went back. Oh God-Emperor, I can still remember my login.

I HAVE SEEN SOME SHIT.

Back when I was a teenager with shit taste, I used to bum around on this IRC network called Espernet. I have never seen an IRC network more packed with furries and anime fans than this place, holy fucking shit.

I'm still on that network, but my closest friends and I mainly stick to our own channels, and we never play freeform anymore. There are about 20 of us and we've effectively made our own little sterilized corner of the network, a place for sane people to congregate, to get away from the furfags and rabid anime fanatics. I run a Pathfinder game there, but we very rarely roleplay outside of that, mostly using the place to keep in contact and keep up with each others' lives, and to organize other gaming (online stuff, like TF2 or Killing Floor).

The vast majority of channels on that network were (and still are) these bugfuck crazy "anything goes" crossover channels. You'll have Dante from Devil May Cry macking on Sailor Moon, and they team up with the cast of Tenchi Muyo and Dragon Ball Z to try and stop a guy who has the Space Rune from Saga Frontier from taking over all dimensions everywhere. Oh, and everybody fucks. Aside from a couple of the more tolerable channels with actually-enforced rules, all sorts of fucked up shit happens, erotic roleplay right there in public.

One of the earlier posters in this thread mentioned something about personality cults and cliques, and that is completely 100% true, and is still happening.

File: 1344628899890.png-(32 KB, 185x200, 1340174918600.png)

I'm the guy who originally collected the pictures Magos was posting. I still mess around the site.

I found one yesterday where a player made a thirteen year old prostitute.

The website I found this in is targeted mainly towards younger teens. I'm not sure why he hasn't been reported yet.

I can get his character sheet if you'd like, and I also have a few more stories about him to tell.

>>20262810
Oh shit, I remember that! I bungee jump elbow dropped people.
>>20262920
In another game, he played a demi-god son of Slaanesh. It was horrible.

>>20264647
>continued
The cult of personality and cliques thing is totally true and is still happening. The vast majority of us started doing this shit in our teen years, so we brought the highschool popularity contest mentality into our interactions over on Espernet. A few of the more persuasive (manipulative) and narcissistic people started gathering their own little cliques, wherein they would run sessions where anyone who wasn't in their clique got their character beat up, or outright excluded. Sessions were run for the sole purpose of the clique's characters learning new powers or getting new weapons, or just to show off in that way teenagers like to.

A decade later and most of us are in our mid to late 20s. A few people I know are still, to this day, bitter and traumatized about how poorly they were treated, and never quite got over it. However, as I said before, this sort of thing is still going on. Elsewhere on that network, outside of our little protective bubble of sanity surrounded by furries fucking and anime fags comparing giant swords, there are 20 and 30 somethings still doing the clique thing. It would be funny if it wasn't so pathetic.

The thing you have to understand about being a teenager is that it is the time of your life when it is not only okay to make mistakes, but also expected. Teenagers are incomplete adults. They are literally not finished, so it's only natural that teenagers would have shit taste and say and do monumentally stupid things.

That being said, it's still okay to point and laugh at the stupid, stupid, STUPID things teenagers like and say and do. Just remember to keep it in context.

Now, when a 20 or 30 something is doing the sort of shit you'd expect from a teenager -- the shit I described, like the son of Dante and Sailor Moon summoning his Guyver armour to take on a resurrected Mecha Freeza to stop him from destroying Yggdrasil the World Tree, or waging a campaign of intentional and systematic psychological warfare with your clique on someone who doesn't like the same anime you do?

That's not okay.

Alright, here's part 1 of his form. It's really big but still disturbing.

A bit about the player, he's 16 and should know that this is vastly inappropriate for the site, but always has a character who's 14 or 13, curvy, and scantily clad. He also tends to godmod at least one of his characters in order to "prevent godmodding", even in games he doesn't run.

We've been trying to overthrow his games several times in the past few weeks, and the one most vivid, the one I am about to tell you, is one where I was playing a simple man. A simple man with rampant alcoholism, an executioner's axe, and a hatred of werewolves on par with /tg/'s rage towards Ward.

I hope to never see any of my retarded characters from my younger years in this thread.

And on the topic of freeform;

I was part of a chatroom Bleach RP. There were only two other people who were actually good.

I met them both there, and someone else introduced me to this. She was a textbook example of GRIMDARK and SRS.

I did enjoy the characters I made for the setting though, even though I eventually got banned for 'creative' use of my power.

Please don't hate me, fa/tg/uys.

Pic 2/2

I should mention right now, this is less me doing something awesome (but I had some shit planned out), and more the creepy guy being a shitty DM and slowly killing his own game.

Now, the game I had the alcoholic, John, in, was run by the creepy ass with a budding lolita complex (if I haven't mentioned, his screen name is Dimentio). Dimentio's premise was that of a clan of werewolves and animagi, and, fortunately for us, various hunters.

So, I made John, basic backstory was that his family was killed by werewolves and so on, so he hunts them with an executioner's axe, a bowie knife, and flintlock pistols.

Dimentio made for his DMPC a werewolf, but not just any werewolf. He was a "natural lycanthrope", basically a super werewolf who could airbend, firebend, and had black magic which let him do an ill defined "number of things". He was also fifty and had a harem.

My partner in crime, a friend from /tg/, had a similar backstory to mine, but where I was based roughly on a classic monster hunter, she had a little red riding hood based character named Victoria. Now, Victoria had a family member who was thought to be dead, but hinted to be alive, and would be another character the player had made, a honey badger lycan we used for laughs but also serious roleplay potential.

Of course, Dimentio didn't get the hint as to who the sister was.....

Cue Dimentio's secondary character Elika, a fox lycanthrope. She was 14, and slightly less scantily clad than the piece of work in my last 2 posts. We agreed to her being Victoria's sister for Emprah knows what reason, roleplaying potential, really. We wanted to actually play a game while doing this. Anyways, reading the backstory, she was Dimentio's favorite out of all his concubines, mostly there to stroke his ego/genitalia. Now, if you pick up the hints (I can fetch this form too, if you'd like, but it'll probably be a 2 parter), she was raped until the Stockholme syndrome kicked in. You thought John had a bad past? Victoria's little sister was raped and made a pervert's favorite whore.

We were assmad, and with a few other KW players in the clan's team, we were ready and had a long game planned out to, with only our two hunters, kill the clan, brood a little, and even had the end planned out.

>>20265052
You can always come back, in fact I would already have a possibility with which you can be fully reintegrated back into the RP.

But I see that you don't have any time, but you can drop by whenever you wish in the suptg chat #beegeneral, same as always

Ah geeze... I started freeform when I was about 13 for the express purpose of trolling the shit out of twilight RPs.

My first character was some asshole in a top hat and cloak that got pissed off at some werewolves for ruining his picnic in the park. He had silver stake-firing chaingun hidden under his cloak and took colloidal silver to make his blood poisonous to them.

Anyway I eventually started seriously RPing with them. I ran a pretty decent game which was supposed to be a subversion of the typical "School 4 Magic Kidz!" by having the facility more akin to a prison and brainwashing center. My most successful character so far has been something like a Monk that took a few levels in Cleric with the Attitude of a Paladin. Hit it off with another character's Elven Empress character and they drank tea and kicked ass together.

My god the horror stories I have from Barton Town. The one that stuck in my mind the best (or worst I guess) is the tale of Malice Nightshade. She was the daughter of the Czar of Russia who was adopted by a clan of ninjas that also happen to be the assassins that killed her parents (hence why there're no more Czars amirite?). She was trained by them and then brainwashed by a witch, but evenually she broke free and killed the witch who cursed her with her dying breath to be emo forever or some shit. After that she moved to Michigan because that's where the player happened to live. Over the course of the RP she became a vampire (of course) and disappeared for about an hour in game (a few days real time) to "become stronger".

Barton Town is the bed of my nightmares and a constant source of shame that I was an active and proud member in my youth.

So, the game starts and John enters a tavern/inn, and immediately orders their strongest booze. Things are going to plan, then almost every Lycan save Dimentio himself is also in the exact same tavern.

So, we were panicking a little OOC, because John was burly, but these guys had near superpowers and we needed a sneak attack to get the upper hand. So after some chat with my /tg/ friend IC, and some very high risk chat with a second natural (naturals, remember, are stronger than normal ones. This was basically Dimentio's second in command.), we're both in adjacent bedrooms upstairs.

Then Dimentio finally made his first post. Like most people, he wanted it to say something about his character up front. Mine said "I am a manic depressive alcoholic". Dimentio's said "I survived six silver bullets to the chest and also I'm a little horny. Being me a little foxgirl."

Silver was still a weakness here, and he survived six silver bullets to the chest.

Then after he got an oil massage from Elika we decided to just go all out and attack his castle, investigating the howl he made at the beginning of his first post.

Then he summoned all the lycans (something like 200, never stated explicitly), as we were headed there.

I'm sure it would have been, had the thread progressed beyond the second page. I've done all of this on the same site, which is for forum-based play-by-post roleplay.

For anything to live longer than two weeks is remarkable, which is why I'm kind of amazed by all of the stories here. I wish I could be in a game that successful.

A game I'm currently in that I have high hopes for involves me being a C'tan expy that has no idea what he is, because he is an infant among his kind. He allows himself to be incarcerated by an SCP-like facility because he thinks they're very nice people, but is kind of incorporeal and they can do very little to actually contain him. He has yet to experience his first "feeding", whereupon all hell is sure to break loose.
