When is the last time you played?
-
Sometimes I feel bad having the Administrator title here when I haven’t RPed in 2+ years.
But then again ya’ll aren’t a very hard group.

@Ashkuri Curiosity. A tie to one of the few internet communities that I have been a part of for a long time. The delusion that one day I will open a server and need to keep up with things happening in the space.
-
I just haven’t had the time to dedicate to truly RP games anymore as I get older. I mostly play quick fire MUDs now. I’m really a big Legends of the Jedi fan because it’s a quick fire MUD but does manage to have some simple RP I can engage with in my limited play time.

Dad fell and broke his neck almost six months ago to the day (November 2). He’s alive but quadriplegic. As you might expect, my schedule has not been conducive to MU*ing (mostly because I can’t personally manage asynchronous play; otherwise I’d be at least waist-deep in Ares games).

For those who haven’t RP’d in several years, what keeps you checking in/weighing in on the forum? I’m referring here to the forum parts specifically about MUSHing and RP, not the social/ooc parts like RL support, pets, books, dead people, etc.
A morbid longing for the picturesque

i am late to this but it’s been a year+.
waiting for some place so i can write about excessively frilly sleeves for @dvoraen lol
-
A long time. But Apos posted that Arx II is a thing and I’m suddenly wanting back in. Kiddo is a little older and not so needy. Maybe I could?

So at 93 responses so far, looks like:
- 45% of forum users actively RPing (in the last month)
- 55% of forum users not actively RPing (in the last month)

@Ashkuri i’m rping now, my response is no longer accurate due to the passage of time . . .

you all can make it past chargen?
My Otaku sits in chargen at Shadowrun Denver Fifteen years waiting for staff to officially unban them for any/all, since they were soft-unbanned/only got banned in the first place because of fuckery.
It has been two months, yet the fuckery continues.

Not a bad ratio tbh

I’m the fucking armchair general. The armchair quarterback. I’m on r/BMD building my fantasy RP league. I’m in the office pool for March MUDness.
I’m out of metaphors.

r/BMD
Do they have an r/MSB so we can Nelson-laugh at the host getting bought out from under them?
-
Because of my new night classes, I’m now in the not actively RPing side of things.
-
@Tez ok but tell me about your fantasy rp league
-
TODAY! (yay)
-
Been like 2+ years for me now. Or is it 3+ years…?
Time is a weird soup.
Whenever Blood & Gold closed, but I did a brief stint on City of Glass before real life just devoured me and has refused to let me go… so my timeline is fuzzy
-
Since Arx went down, though, I’ve been meaning to return to the medium
Been jumping around on other platforms, but it’s never scratched that itch at all, and I don’t even know where to look for a replacement (Or that I even want to find it, honestly)
I think I had an earlier account around here but I forgot what it was called so I made a new one, hi

The assocations I’ve made with people over the years and then harp on myself internally that I don’t keep in touch with those same people as well as I should.
I keep hoping something comes along and grabs my attention like previous games did, but after two years, ever since the end of Arx, nothing has really stuck. Or the things I was playing just wasn’t holding my attention.
And with many people moving to play-by-post(like what Ares does and I say that with no hate), it just can’t keep my attention the way it used to.
So like many people, the ‘spark’ as other say, just isn’t really there. But still, I remember the good and bad through the multiple sites. SWOFA, WORA, MSB, and now here. While I’m not around nearly as much as I have been, there’s still a tether that keeps me occasionally popping in and checking.
Maybe, it’s just out of the vain hope that some ‘new hottness’ will appear and grab everyone’s attention like some games used to. And if for nothing else, the drama threads those games would create here. I never really played The Reach, but man did I love reading about it’s drama.
I don't know what I'm doing. Poke at Seven Nations sevennations.aresmush.com port 2021

I don’t think it’s vain. I think it’s fair to say that we’ve gone from a constant stream of cool new hotness stuff to waves, and the time between the waves grows longer. Eventually though, I suspect it will be retro enough that it will make a big comeback.
