#5 The Genre Parody You're against a guy, and you have no idea what to do. You don't know them well, but you know their gimmick is a soldier. And you *have* seen "All Quiet on the Western Front". What if you just did *that*? After all, entertainment über alles, yeah? Enter: The Genre Parody.

#4 Hallmark Smiling White People Picnic (Yes I mixed two up) RPing of any medium will have people ship their characters, sometimes with other players, sometimes NPCs. And in shipping, people tend to shy from conflict. This is escape, right? The problem: conflict drives stories.

#3 Response Shoot I think we all know what this is: person A posts a RP first with a long shoot, person B posts afterwards with a shoot that is a point-by-point refutation or something to the effect. It's not always that extreme, but it's clear person B read and wrote. Here's why this pure shit:

#2 "I Will Win Because I Will Beat You" Shooting is an integral party of comp fedding. Shoot shows you've thought about your opponent, who they are, and why they tick. It's a "book report" in a sense. But it's clear who likes it and doesn't. And who did their homework. Some just write words.

#1 Kill The Kid It's time. You have a big match, maybe a world title shot. The best strategy is to go all out on your CD and make this moment matter. It's all on the line and it's PERSONAL. Problem: You haven't really built a story. Solution: Don't I have a spare NPC who can die?

Over the next couple weeks or so, I'm going to dissect a few bad tropes I see happen in efedding. While typically done by insecure or noobie writers, occasionally some talented writers will run afoul of them (though talented writers can often pull them off without being hacky). List so far:

Bacchus (OOC) @vliooc.bsky.social · 15/05/2026

Both of these start with saying, "Well that's what my character would do/think/feel," is bad writing and roleplaying regardless of alignment. One of the biggest problems folks have writing either alignment is wanting to have their cake & eat it. They want to be "cool" or "tough", not well written

Bacchus (OOC) @vliooc.bsky.social · 14/05/2026

This is a misunderstanding of my point. Everything should be written in character/through your character's voice. You should be consistent to your character's perspectives. For instance, in my recent shoot on Ollie Maverick there's no way Johnny was going to mention their divorce. It's too far
