Hey guys! It's very hard for me too type this up, but I might be leaving Massivecraft. I was roleplaying today and it just hit me, I am not good at roleplay, I am annoying, and most of all. This is not real life, I never liked the person I was in real life, I made bad choices, I was just a dumb kid. When I found the Massivecraft community it gave me a chance to be a new person, and I blew that chance too, I have done horrible things on Massivecraft, too, I've tried multiple usernames, I cannot do it. I have no creative thinking for characters anymore and I get so bored, I just feel so dumb around all the older players using words I have to google. I am not ready to even be someone in the roleplay community and I feel no reason to be on Massivecraft any longer.

I saw you roleplaying with people this afternoon just fine. Leaving doesn't have to be this dramatic, I think you'll find everyone has the same feelings you have occasionally. MassiveCraft and by extension roleplay, is just entertainment. You're probably just imagining the whole "blowing chances" thing.
 
What do you mean your a bad role player?! Honestly you are quite good;even though you say you don't role play well when you do,like the time you did I'rawicks death that was good,even though it was sad..Anyways we do indeed feel bored at times on servers. That's when you just got to be silly,unless your in a serious role play then keep serious and imagine the scenario that much more. But Keep on going!, we are here! Just shoot us,or me, a message at some time,I won't mind! Heck Role play with us again at some time if ye get the chance!
-Even I don't know tons of words but you know what? You keep on rolling along with it,guess what it means if its barely out of reach,Then google!
And if you ask me You haven't blown your chances on this server,even though we all make mistakes, mistakes can be redeemed in one way or another :)
-----As a small proof as to how serious I mean of this; take a moment and think about how we are here responding to you in positive ways!
-Even Sinon says "not to leave!" Not literally but I hope you get it

regular ass roleplay tends to get excruciatingly boring when you're not part of the usual crowd of people. That's why regalia is always upkept with world progression posts and roleplay events. You should try your luck at a player quest or in a roleplay event with a group of friends, you're bound to get some attention. Also, there's plenty of people that'll help you create a character, all you have to do is ask :)

tl;dr get your ass to a roleplay event and have fun
 
I personally have not roleplayed with you, but I can sympathize with you in that I know, motivation comes and goes with so much utter annoyance. I, when in my first few months here, felt that same feeling you have now. Asking myself if I was any good, and doubting myself. To be honest, even with where I am now, I still doubt myself. Though I have plenty of people around me who implore I am doing much better than I give myself credit for, and I think that is the real solution to this problem. Friends honestly keep all of us going, and I know that without my group of friends, I could have given up on things a long time ago. I have seen you have a group of people you are close with, and I plead with you to just confide in them, truly. Nothing is better than outside opinion, and to hear how much you matter to them. While not having roleplayed with you much or whatnot, I still trust in others' opinions is that you have good potential and fine starting skill. It would be sad to see people come and go so fast when they have plenty of wiggle room. All in all, these things happen, and you should stick it out. Besides, what is the harm in just keeping on keeping on?
 
Like everyone said above, just keep at it. I was in the same boat when I started.

My current character started out as just a basic emotionless shell I used to sit at the bar and listen in on other RP. Eventually, I ended up finding myself chasing down a crook with some Violets. It just kinda grew from there. Even today, I rarely go out and actively seek out RP. I just stay at the harbor and run my shop, doing small talk as it comes around.

All I can say is even a character shell is useful in the beginning to just spectate other RP. Then take what people do and slightly modify it. Eventually you realize your character needs something extra, and so you start thinking more about them. Eventually you get a decent character to start experimenting with, and after a few weeks you know what to write in an app. Personally, It took me 3 months to write my application, just because I was in the same boat.

Just keep at it. You'll eventually get it. Like I said, I'm 5 months in and still have no idea what I'm doing half the time.

All of these things you say you are, annoying, dumb, lacking in creativity, and even insecure, these things are what make you who your are. We all make mistakes, and its those mistakes and bad experiences that form the people we are all destined to become. But in order to become the wise, strong, and courageous adults we are meant to become; we must first go through the dumb, weak, and cowardly children we are born as.
No matter how hard anyone tries, perfection is impossible, pursuing perfection is unreasonable, and believing someone is perfect is incorrect. As hard as we might believe otherwise, no human is perfect, or good, or righteous. Men may believe they are better, or more powerful, or more entitled, or more worthy, or whatever it may be, but the truth is they're not any of those things.
"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed be their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness." This is the structure that my forefathers lived by, and that my country was built around. Whether you live in a different country, or you don't believe in a Creator, these rights still stand. All men are created equal; no man or woman is better than any of their brothers or sisters. All have the right to Life; no matter who your are, you can live your life to the fullest. All have the right to Liberty; the right to choose which path you take, the right to free will. All have the right to pursue Happiness; let no one tell you that you aren't allowed to do what makes you happy, or tell you what does and doesn't bring you joy.
The opinions of others do not matter. All that matters is one's willingness to improve, by the sweat of his own brow, and by the support of those dear to him. Great men have said, 'without struggle there can be no progress', and that while 'we may not get all that we work for, we must certainly work for all we get.' Know and remember that 'nothing ever comes to one, that is worth having, except as a result of hard work.' Without your struggling, you will not progress, you will not improve, you will not find joy or success in your abilities or your experience. 'A man who will get up will be helped up; and the man who will not get up will be allowed to stay down,' because 'success is to be measured not so much by the position he has reached in life, but by the obstacles in which he has overcome.'
Whether you decide to stay with us and continue to make mistakes, and work toward improving yourself, keep in mind that all these things are true. Nothing has been said that is false and you will find no fallacies within these statements. These apply to all aspect of life, virtual or otherwise. I hope that these things may help you in some way on your journey to becoming the adult you were born to be.

"I prefer to be true to myself, even at the hazard of incurring the ridicule of others, rather than to be false, and to incur my own abhorrence." -Frederick Douglass

Your mistakes and your slip-ups are what make you who you are, do not forget that. Let nobody tell you who you are or what you can and cannot become. When you receive the ridicule of others, work harder, use their negativity as inspiration to improve yourself. Prove them wrong. In life, there will be no one to kiss your 'boo-boos' and your 'owies'. You must learn to pick yourself up, to trust in others, to follow truth, and to keep moving forward. Who has the right to set the standards for you? Keep moving forward, and your friends will help and support you in the uphill battles. But if you choose to sit down and give up at the foot of the hill, what do your friends have to support? What can they do but sit down with you and hope you will one day make the journey up that hill.
We all have the opportunity for greatness. Will you grasp that opportunity and face the trials of this world head-on, or will you throw away that opportunity and give up? No matter what you do, that opportunity will always follow along, right by your side, just waiting for you to take the chance.

I totally get it. You've got a smidge of anxiety over role play. That's completely normal; however, like any fear, you've got to conquer it.

Trust me, you're great! Just get out of this little rough patch. I know it can be tricky to find footing.
 
I'm just going to offer advice that worked for me. Give up on everything Massive for one week. No server, no forums, nothing related to Massivecraft for one week. The first day after the one week only use the forums. Look for any updates, server changes, things of that nature. The next day log onto the server once, walk around, get used to the area again. The day after that, go into the tavern and be afk. Just absorb the conversations around you. Take it all in. The next day, only emote. Don't engage in conversations, don't look for your friends, simply emote in the tavern. It really refreshes you. Maybe make a new character to start fresh. Rent a place. Begin your life story again. If you are getting bored, make it exciting. Roleplay as an entirely different character or race. I went from a boring educated fellow to a seaman nearly twice the age of him. It breathes fresh life into the whole scene, roleplaying a way that wasn't familiar to you. I was getting bored with that so I made an anarchist tigran. Change is good. Just take a break from it all and come back. Try new thing, then decide if you are truly done.​
 
Hey! I just met you this afternoon in roleplay and I didn't realize you were the person from this thread.

Can I be honest with you and tell you my first impression? I hope I can.
(Cause I'm gonna.)

Your accent was so thick it was really hard to understand you. When you replace half your letters with " ' " it makes it really difficult to pick through it all. I don't like to spend my time trying to translate what you are saying and consequently wasn't very interested in roleplaying with you.

You seem like a nice guy, I would just tone back the accent a bit.

I've been on this server for 3 years and 9 months, and I still have days when I'm full of self-doubt and pessimism. My first character was a super-edgy vampire whose parents were killed by the Crimson Inquisition. My second character was a Yanar with rainbow tattoos. I still don't know which one was worse, but it got a little better after those two. Not much better, though, as my third character was yet again a vampire whose husband tried to kill her on their wedding night. After that she joined a vampire coven and burned her parents alive. That was 2+ years ago and I still do stupid stuff. Why, just yesterday I attacked a noble in broad daylight and got arrested (@iMcMuffins ). Was that a bit embarrassing? Yes. Did it make me feel stupid? Yes. But I'll look back on it in the future and laugh.

If I can do things like that and carry on roleplaying like nothing happened, then you definitely haven't blown your chances. Just keep your head held high and think, "At least I'll never mess up as many times as Mal has."

And you don't have to have a massive vocabulary to be a good roleplayer! Not knowing words is nothing to be ashamed of. Your vocabulary most definitely doesn't determine your worth as a roleplayer. As long as you're kind and respectful OOC, and you don't play a Yanar with rainbow tattoos, you'll do just fine.

love from your friend Mal xox

(p.s. Ignore people who give your posts ratings that are completely uncalled for <3)
 
At times like this I like to ask myself, what would Shia do?

Hope you stay mate, I'd like to rp with you sometime
 
I can actually understand the feeling of the OP. The RP community can come off as more than a little elitist at times.

I thought I blew my chance when I got on the nerves of half the administration/mod team and made 100% of new players hate me lol.
But I'm still here, and I'm still chilling quietly in the background.

Oh, and in terms of that whole thing with Googling the words thing - I still do that omg
It's actually helped me a lot with my writing ability. Seriously, I've learned more on here than in school regarding vocabulary and grammar.
witch is why i never make mistakes in any sentance i write. ever.

I took a break for about a year and came back, and I don't regret doing so. I never made a big post about leaving, as taking a break with the option of return is a nice thing I'd suggest trying if you're really feeling crappy.
"Which is why I never make mistakes in any sentence I write. Ever. "
Yeah, yeah smart ass. I do know how to bloody write that properly don't go correcting my ass here x) {Satire}
 
It sucks to see people leave, but I really hope you stay! I am inactive myself (can't stand 1.9) but yeah. I had a few bumps of not feeling welcome/comfortable on the server, but I found people and made friends with them, and with the amount of people hating me, it felt nice to log on to the server, being comfortable with those people. I really hope you stick around, your RP will get better over time, just like everything you do. :)
 
i haven't met you rip
but you sound good so
i would say find me and rp
but considering my main character's like 90% criminal activity and 10% shitty flirting
i suppose it might be a bad idea
or a good one perhaps. who knows?

that is if you can get to me past the all-seeing eyes of ludvig kekdos

Don't leave senpai!!!!! No I'll be a bit more motivating... As a player who is often annoying and is terrible at RP half the time.... I envied you, the moment I seen you the first time, I took people like you as an example to be greater, I wanted to RP with you aswell... And what you call annoying is just being who you are and being what your character is... I take you played on this server longer than I... It would hurt the massive community if you left, that would have us all asking, "Were we not doing out job as piers? Did we not treat them as our brother or sister? Or even a best friend?" It's people like you that only builds this community... Just don't give up, don't be ashamed of your personal actions... Just be what you want and who you are and we shall all rejoice the day you came on this server... Don't give up!!! Just Don't!!!
