How can we create a roleplay that I the least cliché possible?

I don't know. Perhaps we should ask Red Herring what she thinks 'cliche' is. Because everything that I can think of, is more than likely going to be 'cliche' in other people's perspectives.

Theree is no such thing as cliché. If it is your idea then that's it.

That sounds cool. It's more than likely true as well.

Yeah, I guess you could say so...

What's wrong?

I have to disagree. Cliche certainly does exist. You can't seriously call a movie plot where, "boy meets girl, other guy 'steals' girl, guy does something to make other guy go away, guy gets girl" original. There are ways to take a cliche plot and twist it into an original ending. However, that's not a thing that can be really explained. Just think about ways you can change up the plot. Brainstorming helps.

(On an unrelated note I can not explain to you just how much I dislike movies like that.)

(haha. Same. I don't watch chick flicks anymore. I did when I was small)

In that case, back to my original suggestion. Perhaps we should just ask Red Herring what she thinks is cliche and work our way around it.

I completely agree here.

Urr...

*sighs* Yes, I am a freak.

You are obsessed with Red Herring's opinion. -_-

No I'm not.

Yeah, you are. You are obsessed with his opinion of our cliché role plays

I'm not engaging in this conversation.

Why? Lol, I love debates!

I don't.

But... aww...

Okay. End of conversation.

Thank you

Quote :

A cliché or cliche (UK /ˈkliːʃeɪ/ or US /klɪˈʃeɪ/) is an expression, idea, or element of an artistic work which has become overused to the point of losing its original meaning, or effect, and even, to the point of being trite or irritating, especially when at some earlier time it was considered meaningful or novel.[1]

In phraseology, the term has taken on a more technical meaning, referring to an expression imposed by conventionalized linguistic usage. The term is frequently used in modern culture for an action or idea that is expected or predictable, based on a prior event. Typically pejorative, "clichés" are not always false or inaccurate; a cliché may or may not be true.[2] Some are stereotypes, but some are simply truisms and facts.[3] Clichés often are employed for comic effect, typically in fiction.

Most phrases now considered clichéd originally were regarded as striking, but have lost their force through overuse.[4] In this connection, David Mason and John Frederick Nims cite a particularly harsh judgement by Salvador Dalí: "The first man to compare the cheeks of a young woman to a rose was obviously a poet; the first to repeat it was possibly an idiot."[5] In making this statement, Dalí was appropriating the words of French poet Gérard de Nerval: "The first man who compared woman to a rose was a poet, the second, an imbecile."[6]

A cliché is often a vivid depiction of an abstraction that relies upon analogy or exaggeration for effect, often drawn from everyday experience. Used sparingly, they may succeed, however, the use of a cliché in writing, speech, or argument is generally considered a mark of inexperience or a lack of originality.

a cliche is something people expect and has been over used some many times its not funny so how about mashing a lot of them together.
