romdeau
FAQs X Storyline X Applicatons X Taken Characters X Holds
Romdeau is a multifandom game on LiveJournal set in the world of the anime series Ergo Proxy. There's no need to have watched the series to participate. (As a player there, I can vouch for this.) It's something of a memory loss game in which your character's memories have been wiped, and they have been reprogrammed with new ones so they believe they lived in Romdeau all their lives. As the so-believed perfect, structured city comes undone, your characters begin to see flashes of what they don't know are their real lives, the ones they were taken from to be brought here. It's a promising game, and it would love to have some more players to really get it going!
The basic premise can be found here, if you're interested.
Shinobu's one-year anniversary just passed this week, and I don't plan on taking her out anytime soon. This is only the second game I've stayed in for at least a year. Orochimaru's Agenda was the first, and I was short I think a month-ish of making it a two-year term. But anyway, Paradisa's been a good ride so far, despite how much I whine and worry about how I'm doing with Shinobu, lawls. It's the biggest game I've been part of, and I'm still trying to get used to it, but no matter what the haters say I love it and I've done well enough so far. Shinobu has and is establishing CR, and muns who know next to nothing about No More Heroes canon enjoy bouncing their characters off of her. Double-digit comment counts over 30 in her posts are just about the norm now. Six, maybe even eight(?) months back I could only dream of that sort of activity. Paradisa will always be one of my fondest RPing memories, whatever happens in the future.
That said... I'm still jealous that all the other journal posts save one related to Travis's most recent lost are getting more comments than mine. Petty Ashi is petty, fuun. And I don't think I will ever shake the feeling that Travis-mun hates how I play Shinobu but is too nice to say so and Bad Girl-mun is faking loving how I play Shinobu because we're all canonmates. Paranoid Ashi is also paranoid. orz
Um, I wanted to go into another diatribe about how I want Romdeau to grow but I'm the only one who's advertising it anywhere and that makes me a sad panda, but I have work at 10 a.m. and need to be awake 8:30ish so yeah. I'll just leave off by saying I tried pimping it at app_this_plz but kind of really don't expect anyone to bite the bait. As usual. Le sigh.
Current mood:
groggy.
But these were lovely little presents to stumble upon on my
Someone on Roleplay Secrets loves a bunch of awesome Paradisa characters and a so-so Shinobu
and Suzaku-mun at ProjectVerde is telling everyone her boy's crushing on my Noa. XD;;
I have my frequent roleplaying ups and downs, but it's nice to know my characters and playing have some kind of positive effect on someone else's gaming experience. It's lovely receiving that recognition -- I can be a terrible narcissist, sorry -- but it's even better making someone's day. To the two of you behind those links, thank you so much, and keep being wonderful!

Ahem. Excuse the emo Linkin Park lyric for the subject title. It kinda sorta fit in my brain logic.
Well, feeling more in tune with Shinobu and Paradisa. Romdeau is the same. Small, slow, with a side of wondering if I'm putting more effort into this game than everyone else, mods included. Granted, my threads don't stretch as far and long as the main mod's character and his canonmate, but their activity seems to come in bursts. Mine is easygoing but consistent. If I get a tag, I'm going to reply, and I try to comment to as many entries as possible. But what bugs me more is that I feel like I'm the only one advertising the game, and I'm just a lowly player. For all the mod mentions about how they don't like seeing so little activity in their game, they don't seem to be putting that much effort into getting the game's name out. It's just frustrating that the game is so stagnant and nothing I do to liven it up generates much activity.
Been iffy about ProjectVerde. I'm just not feeling the inspiration to write third-person prose tags, and the activity explosion when events come up intimidates the crap out of me. I just can't keep up, and it's even harder when I'm a slow tagger, and doubly harder when I'm a slow as a snail prose tagger. Besides, I jumped into it mostly hoping to play Noa and Conrad off each other again, but Conrad is his player's least active character. I don't know. Guess I'll wait it out some, see how I feel about it then before deciding what to do from there.
Current mood:
frustrated.
Hmmmmmn, inspiration driving Shinobu has gone dangerously dry. Why now when she's only a month away from hitting her one-year anniversary at Paradisa? Brb, throwing her up for losses that need volunteer victims, harr. Maybe I need to get the girl in a loss of her own sometime soon. Bah.
Oh yeah, dropped both my OC games if you haven't noticed. I am just no good at sticking with OCs anymore. I wonder what this says about my writing ability, orz.
Current mood:
blank.
I have two days including today to decide if I still want in at
![[info]](http://www.insanejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif){kind=small}
castawayed. The choice I'm leaning towards is making me sad. I know I have more important things to work on in real life, but giving up on RP endeavors still weighs heavier on my heart than it should. Hmm.
Current mood:
exanimate.
ritualemods is pretty much dead. castawayed has been slow. Somehow I get the feeling it's not going to recover. Maybe it's the stress of job hunting talking, but I think I'd be okay with it. It's harder for me to keep up with solely log-based games anyway, and who knows how I'll be able to handle RPing when I do land a job. Wouldn't be surprised if I had to cut one game, and castawayed is fun but more work compared to my other games. Lol, guess I'm really not cut out for OC games anymore. Le sigh. But I'm a little under two months shy of my first Paradisa anniversary, which would be an accomplishment because Orochimaru's Agenda was the only other game I stayed in for over a year, so I'm sticking with it. Romdeau's too slow to be an issue, and I think I'm getting attached to ProjectVerde. The fun, friendly OOC chat helps.But no need to be thinking about dropping games yet. Occasion for it hasn't risen. I'll wait it out. See how things go and such.
Current mood:
okay.
