          @Aria When I’m needing to start two huge projects and not able to fit them both into my head, I simply tell myself that I’m starting four huge projects, then immediately back out of two of them. BAM. Instant relief.

          Later on, I back out of the other two. But that’s just me. It could work for you.

            This. This is where it’s usually at.

            I call all of my unfinished ideas and projects “procrasti-creating”. I’ll just make 94% of this here baby blanket before I decide I need to go build this game I write five files for and then walk away from all in order to avoid whatever I should actually be doing, like “getting my shit together”, which doesn’t sound fun.

              It’s barely a peeve, but it doesn’t seem appropriate for ‘good things’, either.

              People are really just not as slick as they think they are, in general. I see you, buddy.

                  I think it’s about me so you’re probably safe.

                  But piggybacking off of this, I would pay good money for a system that would allow me to distinguish between:

                  • people who have been annoyed at me in the past but are fine with me now
                  • people who have been annoyed at me in the past and are still annoyed with me but are willing to RP with me
                  • people who want to avoid me in general

                  I know I have been on an attempted apology tour of late as I reenter the hobby, and I think sometimes it would be better to just try and come in under a new name, but that feels fundamentally dishonest. I don’t want to RP with people who don’t want to RP with me! But because people are generally polite, it can be hard to tell, especially without anything to rely on beyond text.

                  tl;dr I’m too autistic for this hobby

                  (And if I’m not the person you’re talking about, HF, sorry, but that sort of proves the point either way)

                  bird's still the word

                    Honestly, my biggest peeve is people who make decisions that get their characters in danger and rather than go along with it, they sort of like get frustrated at the consequences they get because “what else was my character going to do? Of course they were going to rage at the super evil and powerful mage! They are a rebel!”

                    Like the character isn’t real. You make the decisions. Own it.

                              I…why would you play a rebel character without expecting consequences. Isn’t that kind of the point of playing a rebel? If nothing happens and everyone agrees with you, you’re not rebelling!

                              This is a rhetorical question obviously, I absolutely know why, it just endlessly baffles me.

                                  Yes, let’s tell the human-hating centuries-old elf who’s just slaughtered a whole town that they’re an idiot. That’s really going to go so well.

                                  And yet if the human-hating centuries-old elf had casually grown the mother of all trees through the mouthy one, you’d have been able to hear the OOC screaming from my side of the Pond.

                                      If only more people thought like that.

                                      I’m with you. If my character does something that stupid, they should get consequences! But ye gods, the wailing if consequences actually happen.

                                        It’s like princes who are pirates. Dude. You cannot have it both ways. Either you, as the Law, are going out and robbing people, in which case don’t be surprised if the commoners pull out the guillotine, or you are an outlaw and a criminal and therefore not a ruler.

                                        You cannot rebel against the Man if you ARE the Man.

                                          I mean, nobility in disguise is a fairly common trope in literature. The disguise part is the crucial bit, though. They’re not supposed to know you’re the Prince, and they’ll probably be pissed when they find out.
