*Shrug*

It's just been far too long since I've been in a roleplay I sincerely enjoyed.

[aroes]

Silly nubcake, no reason Arianna can't still know Aroes.

[Uthaniel]

Let's fix that, then! I shall now annoy you endlessly on Skype with ideas.

[Jonoth]

Xigo. I require a Dwarf (or other Alliance artisan or guard) from you for RP. I will provide IC work, drink, travel, and shenanigans.

[Xigo]

... Well. I'm starting to feel like I've roleplayed everything that interets me as of late. Like there's not much for me to do with the main races/classes. And... I'm weary of all the interserverpolitics. Plus I tend to approach RP and then quickly leave.

... Regardless. Does anyone have any advice? ... Maybe a character someone'd like to see more?

... I'm guessing 'no'. But hey. Worth a shot.

I want to see you RPing someone you like to RP on, Xigo.

Honestly, I miss going about with you, it was always fun no matter what toon I was on. (It was especially entertaining when Falanas was Arianna's professional stalker.)

I miss ya, broski.

[ChampionMouse]

I miss having the casual rp moments with you too. I like the small stuff, the talking around the EPIC BONFIRE and all that. Dagrim has always been awesome, she's really developed and I like that I've been able to see the consistency with which you play your character.
I do kind of miss having Arianna around, I'll admit. She was always hilarious during combat events and made me chuckle aloud.

You do seem to be a bit down right now, so my advice would perhaps be to either take a break ('cause you feel kind of distant right now.) Or just try rolling a completely new character for fun. Sometimes when I'm in a funk, creating something new really helps me get out of it.

If you need to talk, you knowz where I is, bro. <3

P.S. SIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIINDRIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII.

[Loxmardin]

Okay. Fine. I'm going to make a post in this topic of yours. It'll be incredibly incoherent and weird since I'm absolutely horrible at these kinds of things, but... I'm giving it a shot, anyway!

GOOD STUFF

• ¤ First off, Xigo, you're a very fun and amusing person. You have a great sense of humour (although you laugh at really strange things sometimes) and you can joke and help lighten the mood for others. Granted, sometimes in a way that might seem a little grim at first, but I'll get to that later. You're fun. It's very hard to get bored when you're around and I really love talking to you even though I can be easily distracted. Your random puppeting of NPCs is more often than not hilarious, and it adds good spice to the roleplay in the area.
  
  ¤ You have a great imagination. One that thoroughly amazes me. I don't understand where you get everything from. You're quick at conjuring up ideas, too, which is admirable. You can cook up a realistic character on the spot and throw them into whichever situation you'd so like and do it frighteningly well, much to the enjoyment of everyone with the privilege of being nearby to witness and take part in it. When you sit down to just get some roleplay done, you keep things interesting for everyone involved. Your characters have amazing consistency and I know that I, at least, draw great enjoyment from just trying to figure them out and get to know them from afar. ... Though I find myself pretty close to them many times, too. This makes you a fantastic DM, as well. I've loved playing Dark Heresy with you as a DM, for example.
  
  ¤ You're a fantastic person, and you don't give yourself near enough credit for that.

CONCERNS

• ¤ You are very easily disheartened. You assume that people don't want you around and you read too much into peoples' reactions. You really shouldn't be this easily disheartened. You're a great person and an amazing roleplayer and GM, and don't you dare let others tell you any different. People appreciate you much more than you know or dare to admit and by not acknowledging that, you're just letting yourself down. Stop stepping on your own toes. <3 You think up bad stuff about yourself way too easily and readily. It's very unfair to yourself.
  
  ¤ As a sort of addendum to the point above, you let things get to you too easily. Or, at least, you used to. Now, you're more cynical and distanced as a result and it's not a development I've particularly enjoyed seeing. You're a good person and you shouldn't think otherwise.
  
  ¤ You're reluctant to go out and find RP with people you don't previously know. You easily assume the worst and you're rather exclusive in your RP habits instead of the opposite. This sort of ties in with the first point under this headline since you, as you said yourself in a previous post in this topic, tend to leave RPs very quickly. I hope that's a habit that can change, because I think it'd be good if you came out and settled in to openly RP with just random people on the roadside. I'm sure they'd enjoy it, too, and you need to teach yourself to enjoy it and not let yourself be let down so easily! You'll just be tripping yourself over, you know.

... Ahm. I'll see if I can put more words to my thoughts some other time. This is really hard for me.

[Reigen]

I can agree with almost everything Lox says concerning feedback for you, but I have my own as well.

The bad:

- You complain about the lack of RP, normally I wouldn't mind but when faced with offers, you tend to shrug it off, never show up, or say you don't like that type of RP or who offers it. I understand that people have left an impression of how they RP on you, but when it comes to new players it's rather disheartening to see you decline or ignore RP requests. Even if people aren't the best of RPers at first, avoiding them will not help them improve at all. Heck, even I asked you to RP with me with what I had planned to do for Reigen, and while you accepted you don't really seem to want to do the actual RP part.

- Expanding on you getting disheartened to easily. I remember back when you started to do your little random mini-events. I could hear how much fun you had doing so. The moment someone said something bad about it though, you were ready to drop it without even thinking twice, but you ignored all the positive feedback from others. It's good to take bad feedback in mind, but you really need to keep in mind all the good feedback. If 10 people tell you that they had an AWESOME time and one person said they didn't like it, it's like you take the 1 bad review as the opinions of everyone.

- GMship has sapped the life out of you. Ever since you became a GM, day by day I could almost feel how much it was weighing on you. You've sort of became paranoid about what people think and always assume that everyone hates you. You are a brilliant GM and you do fun things. The NPC interaction is awesome, but at the same time, I'd trade all that back just to see you unburdened again. You're not the same as you were, you've lost one of the sparks that made you, you.

- You don't RP with me enough, srs.

The good:

- You're an amazing person. I admit that when I first met you I thought you a bit odd, but the more I talked with you the more your personality came out. Once I talked to you on voice, you won me over with just how awesome of a person you are. You don't pretend to be manly, you don't fake how you feel most of the times. I enjoy talking to you even if sometimes I don't understand what the crap you're saying.

- You're willing to talk to people out of one element. Most people, unless the conversation is COTH related, you just can't really talk to. I talk to you off Coth, on COTH and over Xbox and we hardly ever run out of things to speak about.

- You are a strong meaning of respect. You respect opposing views even if you don't like it and that is something that stands out to me. You don't turn opposing opinions to a heated debate, you don't turn feedback into a personal thing and you can keep OOC and IC on different sides of the hallways.

- You have an adorable dog.

- You reach out to people who are upset. The past few months have shown me strongly who is really my friend and who is not. You are one of the few people who were willing to reach out to me, listen to how I felt and my sorrows, even if I had an issue with one of your friends. That in itself speaks volumes to how awesome of a person you are and you've really made the past few months something worth waking up too when I otherwise felt hopeless.

Good or bad, Xigo, you are are bright person who allows himself to be rained upon. It would mean so much to me and so many others if just ever now and then you let yourself shine for who you really are. I'm honored to have a friend like you and I'm humbled even more that despite our differences and my faults that you're willing to see me for who I am and not what I let people think. Your friendship really is magic to us.

We love ya, Xigo, just understand that the bad comments you sometimes hear do not speak for all of us.

[Rigley]

Ah, Xigo. What can I say about you?


...

Nothing. Y'leave no impression on me. Yep.

Alright! Seriously, though. I like you, Xigo. You're a great guy, as has been echoed previously in this thread. Funnily enough if I had to sit and and come up with a single statement, I'd say you remind me of... me. If that makes sense. Maybe not completely in a good way.

From what I see, you get burnt out a lot. And I'm going to make the leap and say that at times you feel kinda undervalued, which I understand. I honestly think we all feel that way from time to time, but for some of us its just much more prominent. If it is worth anything, the people who value you value you a lot though. I know I do.

Egh, but feedback? I need to see more. If not joining existing RP, then we should create our own. Get back into roleplay, and integrate back into the masses whenever we're ready. I know how it feels to be thrown out of the loop, and sometimes invitations to RP is about the equivalent of being a person standing in a corner while the excitement goes on across the room for those not already invested.

I do think you've gotten a bit of a sour attitude lately, but never have I really felt it to be without reason. I'm not going to sit here and tell you YOU SHOULD FIX UP YOUR ATTITUDE, BE HAPPY XIGO because that doesn't work-- I know it doesn't, heh. We should do more things together, though; by we I mean all of our friends. Fun on or off CotH helps, y'know? Maybe do some more text RPs; I know Wuvvums is itching to grab people for one.

---

And uh. There's a lot of good things I could say about you. I think you're a strong guy, Xigo. You've got more of a backbone than I do, and I honestly think at times you take more blows than I could ever shrug off. You're creative and -hilariously- funny, and I think if we ever got together we could pump out some great events and stories as well.

In short, we should do more stuff, Xigo. I wish I could write more, but I'm really bad at this sort of thing. I consider myself pretty good at being the skeptic and the debater, but I've never been too stellar at writing out my praise and respects. I do hope this is worth something to you, though.

[Xigo]

Soo...

... Feedback?

[Bingles]

CAN I RP WITH SKYFIN <3?

[Xigo]

Maybe.

[Clovis]

Kil'shi's pretty fun to rp with during our Council Meetings and provides a nice contrast to the rest of the council. That being said, I kind of wish he stuck around longer to talk with us - you're pretty quick to get him out of there, and while I understand that it's perfectly normal ICly, it kind of does make it a challenge to rp.

Don't forget - even orcs get lonely.

That being said, you're a hard man to snag for RP Xigo. Fix that. Nub.

[Xigo]

Well it likely has something to do with the fact I don't have a recurring character. Or a main character. Or a character that I really stick with for roleplay. Honestly, I rarely play the same character more than two times a week. Which is probably... yeah.

I just don't know a concept I would want to roleplay (that wouldn't involve me getting lol'd at) right now.

All of my characters are background characters.

And I feel as though I've roleplayed everything I really want to. Little interests me in Warcraft currently (that I can roleplay within the rules).

I know most of you hated him. But dangit. I miss my Doomguard. He was something different.
