And many need to get deleted, even though its new. And yes, few include mine also. Its really sad how many new members don't roleplay because their either dead or too large they don't get a message back if its invite only.

Sadly, there is no way an rp can work out like you want to. People either change the plot, or they leave as soon as they start.

True enough. Some users feel like they have to create RPs one after another. Sometimes, it's out of complete inspiration, and that's fine. The problem starts when so many RPs are being made that older one's don't even get finished. Speaking of which, I actually made a blog about that. This one.

But the worst part about RPs that are cut off too soon is that some users use those RPs as canon for their characters. Not having the plot completed could create holes in their character's story unless they already know how the RPs supposed to end.

As for getting an RP to work out like you want, you're correct to an extent. Certain actions can indeed create an unseen turn of events. However, if people change the plot, the owner can correct that if they react quickly enough. But, sometimes, this could result in having an RP being restarted from a certain point, usually from the beginning.

And leaving as soon as they start? Yeah, that can be VERY problematic. If the character's aren't too deeply involved in the story (I.e very few lines and impact) then they can usually be deleted to solve that problem. But if they're a big part of the story, then that's where the problem can come in. The only solution to that is if the owner of said characters gives permission to another user to control those characters. However, that doesn't normally happen very often.
