Did you know starcraft 2 has a roleplay scene? It's a little thing called "Cortex roleplay" that most people play at the moment. It basically gives people map editor controls, allows you to make units and terrain and yadda yadda so you can build your own sets and stuff. So you play a game of starcraft, arrange your pieces, and roleplay with them.
so, going to note: Even ignoring the messed-up stuff, it's not likely you'll ever find a game of it that's good. this is where the 13 year olds go to make their new super-coo protoss zerg hybrid with like 10,000 goddamn katanas on them.
I tried desperately to make a good story with people on there. I failed.
What I did get? someone who was playing a villain that, as a result of roleplay, "captured" my psychic female character. Now, the idea that I was expecting to happen was that the other "heroic" people would maybe come help out, it'd make for a decent story convention even if damsel in distress is a little overdone...
The heroes decided to "wait a few months", and stated they had to wait. One even typed "who knows what that monster might do to her."
I'm not going to get into the details of this next part, but I was in disbelief of what happened next.
Dude starts roleplaying his weird gross hybrid trying to do some pretty rated M things to my character unwillingly. the other people are all essentially cheering this on. I'm pretty quickly uninterested in continuing this, but I do the less smart thing of stating in chat that I'm not into this.
I immediately hear the rest of the group bitching and saying this is exactly what happened in brood war (it wasn't) to kerrigan, and call me a liberal over... not wanting to write a fantasy of being molested by someone?
So at this point I'm smart and log right the heck out. This was actually the third time someone was very creepy to me on that roleplaying game, but pretty obviously it was the worst time. Unfortunately, the group all decided to spam my account with messages - and all of them immediately changed tunes. for all seven of these weird individuals, suddenly I was a girl to compete over. They messaged me terrible things about eachother while trying to tell me how interested they were in me. the guy who'd actually done the original things - Mcgrosshands, we'll call him - Told me way too much about his mother and how she'd love to have me over.
I blocked them all, it didn't continue from there, but I was legitimately nervous about it for like the next year. always had something on my person I could hurt someone with for a little while.
