meme: reverse questions with a twist

[throughaphase]

When your day's going to be busy but you still want things to read for the times it's not: a meme! We last did this one in October.

Pose a question (or as many as you'd like, and they don't all have to be in one comment, so you can come back later and add more if you want) to your fellow players about the game or their characters, and they will Wall-of-Text if they want to, look, I know how some of you are answer them. They can be personal or silly. You don't have to answer all of them! Nothing counts in game, of course and etc.


Questions might include "Which of your characters are you the most like?", "Which BDE was your favorite?", "What music do you RP to?", etc.

Check in throughout the day to add questions/answer questions that have been added!

Who's your easiest to play right now?

[seriesofbaddecisions]

All my on island kids are easy but Sabine's new and has momentum right now.

[throughaphase]

Who's your hardest to play right now?

[justalittlerepressed]

This idiot here, but mostly because I backburnered him. I'm working on it!

[throughaphase]

We're all old! What's something we used to do IG that you can't imagine having the time/energy/patience for now?

[justalittlerepressed]

Everything? God, staying up late for posts. I'm tired at 8:30, y'all. I'm tired.

[throughaphase]

Do you have any threads or recent developments you wanna brag about? Go for it here!

[seriesofbaddecisions]

Sabine's going some interesting places and I'm really just along for the ride. I've planned absolutely nothing, I'm just having a lot of fun sitting back with my popcorn and seeing what happens and that's a lot of fun.

[throughaphase]

Are you more protective of any of your characters than the others?

[seriesofbaddecisions]

A little bit of Rey because the fandom's been so terrible, but for the most part meh.

[throughaphase]

Is there a number of characters you feel comfortable playing at a time?

[firehousehimbo]

3-4 is the sweet spot for me.

[throughaphase]

What was your first BDE?

[justalittlerepressed]

I think the Trolls one? But I honestly don't remember at this point.

[throughaphase]

How do you feel about whammying (physically or otherwise) your characters?

[single_man_tear]

Comes with the territory with this guy.

[throughaphase]

How are you at coming up with plots?

[imafuturist]

Well, as long as it's crack...

[throughaphase]

How do you handle ships? Would you rather have them or not? Would you rather plan them or not?

[firehousehimbo]

I love my ships, but I need a very understanding ship partner because I'm not the most, um, attentive? Like, if you want multiple ship posts a week you probably want to look somewhere else.

However, if you want someone who is chill to an almost annoying degree, I'm your gal.

[throughaphase]

Do you have any canon or developments you're excited to get to?

[justalittlerepressed]

Bi Buck! Bi Buck!

[throughaphase]

Are there any characters you've played that took you a while to get a handle on?

[firehousehimbo]

I don't think it took awhile, but Wanda was intimidating due to the size of the canon and the fact that everybody knows the character/canon.

[throughaphase]

Have you had any characters that surprised you by being so easy to play?

[seriesofbaddecisions]

Sabine and Annie Edison were the two where the second I plunked them into posts they took off.

[throughaphase]

When you're in a rut with a character, or they're not getting out enough, what do you do to change that?

[justalittlerepressed]

Bar posts are a good way to get out there. And I'm looking forward to this summer's Shenanigans for it too.

[throughaphase]

Who would you say is your most successful character?

[firehousehimbo]

Chuck Bass, Stiles Stilinski, Luke Castellan.

[throughaphase]

And which character has been your biggest disappointment?

[seriesofbaddecisions]

Cordelia goddamn Chase.

[throughaphase]

What was your first ship in the game?

[single_man_tear]

Martin Blank and Angela Chase. Waaaaay back. Way way back.

[throughaphase]

Which of your characters is the most traumatized?

[scarlet_chaos]

Come on now.

[throughaphase]

Does it make you self-conscious to know if someone's reading your threads?

[single_man_tear]

No and I just assume no one is that interested. So when someone tells me "I like what you did with XYZ" it's always a nice surprise.

[throughaphase]

If you're bored and want a post for interaction, who's the character you're most likely to post with?

[scarlet_chaos]

Wanda. She's got multiple tower-mates and is generally the best socially.

[throughaphase]

Are there any antagonistic relationships you like playing out?

[justalittlerepressed]

Oh man, I gotta say I miss Diego and Five. Just because the sibling fights were amazing.

[throughaphase]

Do you make playlists for your characters?

[justalittlerepressed]

Way too lazy for that, but I like listening to one's other people make.

[throughaphase]

Raise your hand if you had a canon/PB become Problematic since you started playing them.

[scarlet_chaos]

OOH ME! ME! Ed Westwick who I used twice.

[throughaphase]

Are there any things you've had to make up for your character that you had to just hope you didn't get jossed on?

[firehousehimbo]

Well I'm pleased that I got that bisexual thing got double-downed on with Buck. Did not see that coming. But his canon is so nuts I could say basically anything and it'd fit. Buck's background is that he had about 100 other jobs before becoming a firefighter so I have fun with that sometimes.

But everybody else has a canon that's easy to fudge things on (Diego) or a canon that I think is mostly over for them (Wanda).

[throughaphase]

Do you try to keep alumni characters? How do you think you do?

[suitably_heroic]

Generally, yes. Usually they remain active for a year or so before wandering off, because by the time they leave I've largely exhausted their character development.

It gets interesting when I haven't exhausted their character development by the time they go alum.
