LoveIsEnergy's Limits 'n' Such

[Jacob Tapper]

PLAYER WANTS

What is your plotting philosophy?
I try hard to avoid threads where we have no idea whether something interesting will happen. "Casual conversation" threads are really boring to play out, haha. So I like to do some plotting just so we know the thread will go somewhere. That said, we don't have to script it all out ahead of time - part of the fun of roleplaying is to let the characters decide the ending, in the moment. So let's get some solid ideas to start out with and then improvise the rest!

What types of plots are you interested in playing?
I'm very open, as long as the "plot" isn't just two characters making light conversation. I'm open to romance, adventures, shenanigans... really just suggest something and I'm sure we'll be able to solidify it together!

What types of plots are you not interested in playing?
As mentioned above, unless your character is a really good conversationalist, then our characters just making conversation is not interesting to me.

How often can you reply to any given thread?
It depends on how many threads I have going, how busy I am IRL, and how much I'm enjoying the thread. I'm just starting a new job on Monday, so I may only be able to reply once a day, twice max. Weekends will be more frequent.

What is the longest you're willing to wait for a reply to a thread?
A week? If you haven't replied in that long, I assume you've lost interest. (You should just tell me if that's the case, since odds are if you're bored then I'm not loving it either.) But if you tell me something's come up IRL and it will be a while before you can reply, then I'll totally understand!

Are you open to RPing over instant messengers? If so, what's the best way to contact you and what times are you generally available?
Not reeeeally. I'd like to keep as much as possible in the threads (see below for the "sexception" to that rule) just to keep everything in one place.

Are you open to post volleying?
Yes! If we have a really good thing going, I'm totally open to that. It just has to be at a time we're both available (obviously). So weekends or weeknights would be best.

Anything else?

PLAYER LIMITS

What are you limits regarding powerplay/godmoding?
I'm totally fine with this if it works with what we've already plotted. Like, if our characters are in a fight and yours punches mine, that's fine - just let me decide how much it hurt, I guess? Haha. My view on godmoding is, you should feel free to have my character do simple things that move the story forward, like sitting down at the table or stopping in his tracks if you grab his arm; just understand I may come back with "oh I actually wanted this to happen instead" and we go from there. No hurt feelings!

What are your limits in regards to romantic situations?
I'm very open to pretty much anything. I don't mind if it's pre-plotted or happens organically. If it's going to be anything weird (that's so subjective... but think polyamorous relationships, cheating, or anything "not vanilla") then let's just talk about it before doing it, that way there's no miscommunication or difference in expectations.

What are your limits in regards to sex (within the TOS)?
Heh, this is hard for me to answer because I'm so used to just playing it out. Sex is a natural part of life, so I think it has a home in a good roleplay if done... tastefully. That said, I fully understand and respect the TOS so my preference is to take it off-site or just skip over it as necessary.

What are your limits in regards to violent scenes (within the TOS)?
My characters rarely end up in violent situations, so it's hard to say. That's the sort of thing we should plot out juuuust a little so we both know what to expect. But I'm fine playing out a fight scene or something.

What are your limits in regards to abuse/rape in plots?
Absolutely no rape anywhere near me, thank you! I totally respect if it's part of your character's story, but it won't be part of mine.

Anything else?
