Hey, I need an honest opinion on Roleplay on the server

[Leo]

I'm one of those people who tried to focus solely on roleplay but I'm also a control freak. For that reason I always find myself trying to roleplay with people but wind up trying to control the narrative because I have an idea in mind for my story but it never works as intended. This tends to alienate people from RPing with me in game. I'd sit around Barrier Gate, New York, etc. just to catch someone to RP with but wind up sitting there for hours with nary a conversation except the random "Greetings" from a silent powertrader--if I even got that much.

Many of my personal successes has been with Freelancers or Zoners though I've dabbled in the Pirate ID on occasion--and I have a really cool Rogue faction idea but considering my failures in the past, I hesitate to even bother. Neutral tends to work best for trying to navigate RP, but not always.

The server feels like, to me, as a PvP server with an RP streak instead of the other way around. There are groups and individuals who seek to only get blues or blow up POBs because of some imagined slight by the owner from months past--there are bad eggs in every community. That said, there are those here who are of a like mind to you, myself included.

All that to say: Yes. There is a place for a dedicated roleplayer.

If I ever decide to install Discovery again and give it another go, hit me up. I'll probably be on an SLRC ship as the last remaining active member or Outrider-1, my Freelancer explorer/mysterious figure. For now though, I'm staying away and just surfing the forums from time to time.

Hope to see you around, and good luck.

I'm no longer playing on Discovery. The toxicity of this place has brought out the worst in me and I'm no longer interested in experiencing that side of myself. I choose peace over this place.
