User blog:3krok/Three signs that your TP or RP may be dying


 * 1) Any tight restrictions will eventually be broken. If it was originally exclusive to female characters, expect it to come up with a flimsy reason to include male characters. Same goes with ethnicity, concept, etc. This can be explained by the fact that once a leader wants to include a friend, he will find a reason to include said friend.
 * 2) If the group was originally a parody, expect it to lose that focus as people start joining it with the misguided notion that it actually believes in what its parodying. If the group originally started out as a parody of Japanese culture and those that want to emulate it, expect people to start joining it out of the misguided notion that it actually is taking it seriously.
 * 3) Formerly group-oriented roleplaying becomes focused on a small, controlling group or even an individual; any RP not about that person or group becomes irrelevant, while that person becomes the center of all things.
