Hello beautiful world. I am Soul, and I enjoy helping people learn, grow, write, and create. One problem I've noticed (and encountered) across Iwaku is that a lot of roleplays just don't stick. I think to myself, why is that? What could be wrong? I've looked at my failed RPs and looked at my successful ones and I see some trends, but I want a clear picture of what's going on in the minds of the players.
This poll is my reaching out to you, so that you can tell me why roleplays fail.
Is the it GM? Is it the players? The plot? Are you actually a cat? Or is it something else?
The information I gather here will be used by me, and probably other staff members, to help develop exercises and guides to help increase the success rate of roleplays here. So please, be honest. Be violently, brutally, and perfectly honest. Please, don't specify names of roleplays or players or GM's (unless you're offering praise, we're not here to hurt feelings, that's the thread about American Politics and veganism) but tell me what went wrong from your end.
Are you a GM? What are your perceptions about how things ended? What went wrong?
Are you a Player? What made you drop? Or what did you see happen before the ultimate demise of that one roleplay you just really thought was going to last?
So let's talk. Let's open up a dialogue about that pesky graveyard we constantly look at with a deep sense of longing, wondering what could have become of our sexually confused and emotionally suppressed but optimistic character that never got a chance to blossom into a bold, selfless heroine and save humanity from the cannibalistic mutants.
Tell me why your roleplay failed so that I can help make it successful the next time around.
