User blog:Ghido/Why RPs have become boring

I'm here to address the issue of boring RPs. They are often now, and never amount to anything and/or completely forgotten about.

The Reason
I believe the reason for RPs being boring are because of the lack of good villain plots. The majority of RP characters are heroes now, and villains are quickly extinguished.

The Causes
I've noticed a pattern. Plots that have potential for being interesting are shot down for a number of reasons. Those reasons are as follows:

Nobody Participates
I've come across this problem many times. You want to start a plot, and no one else RPs with you. You do whatever you can to attract users to the RP, but that brings up a later problem.

Your character is ignored
This happens when you arrive to join an RP, but your character you are trying to introduce is ignored by either dodging or not acknowledged. You can try doing all types of moves, ranging from small to super, and they will still be ignored.

Super Heroes
This is a common problem with villain plots. Someone tries to set up a villain, only to be met by one of the ultimate RP heroes that will kill them right then and there. If you try to have the villain escape, they will follow. I feel that these are the second biggest problems with trying to set up villain plots, as they will almost always stop you.

Fighting
I believe this is the second biggest problem with setting up plots, specifically villain plots. You try to set up a plot with potential, it is shot down by other users. If you try to make your villain attack to demonstrate power, it is often called "OP" or "Goddmodding". This can make a fight, which usually ends up making the plot become abandoned all together.
