So I have these 4 RPers that really grates my nerves. So I will break them into parts. Though I am not into public shaming people, I hope that if they read this they know who they are. I tried to keep it to myself but I feel that letting it out would serve me much better at this point.
----------------------------
Part 1 (The Accounts Maker)
There is this one RPer that PMed me about my prompt and seemed to be so hyped about the prompt (in retrospect, I now see that he was overly hyped for no reason and I should have seen this coming.) and we got to discussing the details. It ironed out really smoothly as he seemed to be quite chill and cool with a lot of things. With the details out of the way, we started our roleplay. We got to the scene where things were getting hot and steamy (I am GMT 8 and they were PST, so delay in replies was not something new.) and I described the scene up to the minutest detail, sent it and went to sleep (it was like 0400 for me and I had work the next day.) Fast forward a few hours later, I woke up and checked for replies (like I usually do and thing to note is I do roleplay with a lot of people at the same time) and I noticed that the RPer had deleted the account. Frustrated because I put a lot of effort into the roleplay and it had spanned over a few days, but decided it was for the best. Fast forward a couple of days, I posted another prompt and guess who decided to respond. It was the same guy. He began to give me a sob story that his account was being hacked and that he could no longer get into the account, though I had my reservations, I decided to take it at face value. Upon which he mentioned that he would like to continue the roleplay we had started. It took some time to copy all the text but I did so at his request and posted it in our new DMs.
After a few days, the same thing happened again. His account deleted just as things were getting hot and steamy. It was at this point I knew that all he wanted was to get off. A couple of days later (this was when he messed up.) when I posted a new prompt and decided to offer story necromancy (for those who do not know, story necromancy is when someone helps take over a ghosted prompt or story.) he contacted me with yet another account and proceeded to copy...word...for...word our previous roleplay and asked me to continue. I lost my marbles and told him to beat it.

Part 2 (The "God")
This is a rather short rant. I was rping with this one girl(?) (I actually suspect that it is a guy playing as a girl, but whatever, I am not too picky nor do I care.) The RP was a little bumpy at first, but I made concessions. Then it came to the hot and steamy parts. Now, let me preface this by saying that there was no prior agreement, nor was there any prior notification of such sort of "skill set". We were in the hot tub (typical I know.) when our characters decided to do the deed, initiated by my character due to the nature of my character being very bold and does not care about voyeurs. 10 minutes, literally 10 minutes in real life into the part, she OOCs and says that because her character was really tight and petite, I should have finished by now. For the uninitiated, you might agree with her, but take note that whilst 10 minutes has passed in real life, time does not pass as fast in the RP. Thus this was explained to her. There were disagreements, but she relented after I told her that seeing that this upsets her, I would need to bow out of the roleplay as I don't want to force her to continue. She then turned her character passive aggressive towards my character for no reason. At one point, despite knowing what was happening, I just played along by my character asking why her character was so upset. Her character said and I quote verbatim 'Ask your God, the one that writes your fate, the one that controls you. Why He chose to give you the GOD levelled ability of being able to hold back yourself despite already doing the deed for 10 minutes in real time and not shooting your load.' (Yes, I copied it word for word from the roleplay.) I was so done after that, I just informed her that I will need to bow out as I don't feel comfortable continuing in this roleplay. She called me names and blocked me right after. (No losses there to be honest.)

Part 3 (The Puppeteer)
I was roleplaying with this group (I was added into the group to make up the numbers as some people had dropped out. BOY! Did I find out why they dropped out.) Lets call them Angie, Aaron, Angela, Arthur and Ashley. So Arthur and Aaron were the only ones left from the original group, where Angie, Angela, Ashley and I were added in that order after some people had dropped out, so they were relatively new to the group. (It's discord, just fyi.) But even so, there were already pages upon pages of roleplay. (Nope I did not scroll to the top to see how long this roleplay had been going on.) Upon joining, I was told a general idea of what had transpired so far and we were expected to slot ourselves into the narrative. That was fine by me and I integrated just fine...then it happened.
When we write something out of the ordinary that did not fit in the narrative (this is a very common thing when roleplaying in groups to get your character away from the scene so that you can go do some irl stuff.) or do something that does not sit right with Arthur (usually if you do one, chances are you are doing both.), such as "Andrew sneaks away from the house to the store to purchase some essentials." or "Ashley visits her mother because her mother had called her over for dinner." and with an OOC note that says "I need to go have my dinner right now, please continue on without me.", Arthur will write that character back into the story like "Arthur goes to Ashley's house and confronts Ashley's mother before dragging Ashley back. Ashley is really sorry and starts to apologise to the group. Arthur tells Ashley to go to her room but Ashley drops to her knees and begs Arthur not to send her to her room. Arthur laughs and tells her that if she is willing to remove her underwear and give it to him, he would consider it. At the drop of the hat, Ashley stripped and gave her underwear to Arthur."
We gave him fair warnings over and over not to write for our characters, to which he apologised before doing it again. Ashley, Angela and Angie left without notice, while I, trying to salvage the roleplay...gave some constructive criticism... He told me to EFF OFF and banned me from the server.

Part 4 (The Erotica Reader)
So one of the things I used to implement in roleplays before this was that if you could not move the roleplay forward due to writer's block or lost for words, you can just let me know and I will try to move the story on so that they would be able to continue. Then came this joker. The roleplay started fine, he would write long enough paragraphs and the roleplay was fine. After awhile, his reply did get shorter, up until it was only a paragraph long, it was still acceptable so I thought nothing of it. The first time it happened, he just OOCed and said "Sorry. Can you continue?" and I said "Sure, no problem." but then he would always have something to add to the roleplay after. The horror part was when it started becoming more frequent and it reached to a point I was just roleplaying by myself for hours on end as if I was just telling a story. I immediately excused myself from the roleplay and ended it right there.
----------
To the people reading this, if you are or think you are any of these people, I am not out to shame you. I just need to get this off my chest. Please do better, roleplaying is a two-way street and communication is key. I know you can do better if you try. Good luck, have a nice day and may the odds be forever in your favour. xD
