Fuck Facebook. Honestly, I'm sick and tired of the drama and bullshit and the weaboos that have sprouted out of nowhere and taken root in my roleplay and if I see that Medic supposedly related to Hitler once more I'm going to kick a puppy. So, after unsuccessfully trying to get some of my group over (there are maybe five people interested?) I'm shoving Google+ in you guys' faces. No fantasy Fortress, no weaboos, no drama and derp. Just normal TF2 roleplay. To start things off, here is a nice and normal RED Spy. https://plus.google.com/u/0/112829752208424329935
>sick and tired of the drama and bullshit and the weaboos are you serious? If you don't like them, don't accept/add them - I get like 20 friend requests per week but I don't accept anyone out of my group. And even if you don't have a group you can always delete the people you're not interest in. And by the way, "nice and normal" Spy wouldn't be named "vicent bernard" - sorry, at least lurk a bit more about french names/culture first.
>>1726 You can't even tell half the time who actually is or not, especially if they're new and there aren't any posts. And no, I don't add them if they are but I'm tired of them anyway. I'm tired of seeing 'hnn' in people's posts made by stupid Uke Scouts, I'm tired of every Medic ever being a Nazi, I'm tired of seeing that one Spy with a troll face on his icon spouting nonsensical memes. I'd bring up my whole headcanon Spy shit but you know what, I don't even care. I meant nice and normal as in not some ridiculous god modding magical desu bullshit.
>>1727 and you think that being on google+ is going to change anything? It's not. Just stop accepting everyone and lurk for a RP group.
>>1729 Considering the only place I've advertised this thing on is TF2chan where people are widely better and more knowledgable about the 'verse, yes, yes I do like to believe it will be better. I'm not going to stop accepting because I like playing with new people, even if there's a 1/20 chance of one of those turning out to be genuinely good. Facebook is a terrible site anyway that likes to track your internet activity and give you horrendous updates that no one likes. And as for rp groups, I've applied to loads and they've all died. I want one with a chat system because I find forum rp hard- hence staying with FB for so long.
Well, I am actually interested in this, personally. If it's not for you, Anon, that's fine, but I think this is a pretty good idea. A change of scenery never hurt anyone. If it's just me and Hybrid derping around, so be it.
I may be interested, if anyone would have me. I'd have to see how this sort of thing works, though. Do we like, pair up, or all have to be online at once, or post and leave it like one would do on a forum, what?
>>1732 Basically it works in much the same method as FB, you leave statuses and post on people's walls and they respond. If you happen to be online at the same time you can take it to chat for a longer RP. As for walls and statuses, people have two styles of play. You can either be typing to each other or actually interacting. I prefer to have them interacting ala *do action* on walls and via chat have "story-style speech". Google+'s chat system is a little weird right now, you've got to know the email adress of the person you want to interact with. I'm using VinceBernardSpy@gmail.com >>1731 I would love to rp with you, we could have the best brain babies.
>>1733 Okay, good. My timezone often gets in the way (my friends can't fathom why I'm going to bed at midnight, when it's really 4 AM where I am), so I'm glad that wouldn't be an issue here. I'll definitely think about joining this as soon as I'm free from my work commitments. (12 more days AH!)
'Kay so I'm thinking of making an Administrator account and running events through it to keep the group lively when we've got more people. That was always a problem in the FB rp, a lack of control over things.
I've followed you Hybrid, with my own account. I'm not to sure about having another FB like website. I might just lurk a bit till I feel confident with this type of RP.
I might possibly be interestd as well, though Ive not roleplayed like this before. I tried getting into the FB one, but it was so confusing I couldnt figure out what to do with myself or how to go about it.
>>1764 We're all going to be lurking until there's more people I think! >>1770 Another problem with FB (gasp) is that there's too many people right now and it makes it hard to decide who to talk to. For example, a friend of mine is extremely paranoid and suspicious about everyone who adds her so if you do you might get shouted at. Not always good for a first experience! Just give me a nudge and I can help however I can.
>>1772 Hit the nail on the head, you did. Luckily I didnt come across and terribly paranoid people on the FB one, though I did find myself staring at the hundreds of accounts like "What." Didn't help that I tend to get shy when Im overwhelmed. Ill toss a BLU Pyro in there and see how well this works out, I guess.
Hi guys!! I want to try and move on from the FBRP so I made an account! I noticed there wasn't a BLU Spy yet so I hope you don't mind my Femspy joining in! Here's her profile - https://plus.google.com/116490489565783662571/ ps: is this 60s or modern?
>>1810 Would've replied earlier but my computer's been out for the count. Anyway, it's nice to have more Blu's! The more the merrier I always say. I see a Sniper from FB over here too! I'm thinking 60's with the odd modern element. As close to canon as we can get it, what with OC's.
