Wow, milestones & Non Celebrity RPG

On a whim, I checked my profile page only to find that I've posted 993 entries. 994, when this is included. I feel like making entry 1,000 special in some way but the only way that I can think of is to see if it's possible to hit the comment limit (5,000 comments, as far as I know) via either all of us having a spammy drabble/link/image-post contest.

And now that I have that fascinating tidbid over with, take a look at [livejournal.com profile] noncelebrityrpg.



RPS. RPF. If you don't know what those acronyms mean, welcome to the Internet, kiddo.

People pretend to be celebrities all the time. They roleplay as them, maintain journals as them, but let's face, how well does anyone really know those celebs? If you're playing Gackt somewhere, it's not like he'll actually IM you about your choice of romantic partner for him or correct you on what cereal brand you had him eat this morning.

That's why [livejournal.com profile] noncelebrityrpg exists. Pick a person off your friendslist. Pick someone in real life. Pick someone whom you would like to be -- not the person with the idyllic life you envy, but a person you'd like to play. Pick someone that'll play along with you and watch you play them.

Make your choice, and immerse yourself in a world that is exactly like ours but where you are someone you know very well who isn't you. Test out how well you know them, and how well you can predict their reactions. Make friends. Make enemies. Cause Internet drama. Delete comments, screen posts, whatever.

[livejournal.com profile] noncelebrityrpg is the real online world, except it's not.

C'mon. It's time for you to wear someone else's skin.

The game will only open when it has a minimum of five people, and there are no restrictions on how many personas you can join as.

That is. Just. Brilliant.

A tempting offer, but I don't think I can (although I'd love to watch!). I have a hard enough time being comfortable playing someone else's fictional character (it feels like stealing!) Playing another person might break my brain.

*snickers* Brain breaking is what we're alllll about.

*loves* Pure genius.

*tempted* I'm a n00b at RP though, I want to be good before you see me doing that.

If invited though, I'll partake.
