          And you know I love you for your “Cheeky Mr. Rogers” vibe, cupcake. 😘

          I was riffing on “be the change you want to see in the world” and suggesting that your insistence that we shouldn’t make this board was, in fact, a case of the lady protesting too much. That you should go make the board yourself so we could all have a giggle.

              I wish I knew what to do to make this game fun for me. Not confident enough with lore to have an OC. Not creative enough with keeping up a roster. Need to try and be more active when all I want is someone to write missives along with.

              Edit: I found more words.

                  I wish I could find convince myself to be active. My alt (yeah I got one) is kinda out there, but not really. I feel like I don’t know what to do with the Faith with Esme now that I’ve joined it. DO NOT REGRET JOINING. It was super IC for her, but a lot of her cool ‘connections’ have sort of drifted. I’m not sure what to do with her.

                  I think I’m just waiting for the next chapter or something to spark. Maybe the new job will ease my RL stress and give my creativity back.

                  ❤ To everyone though.

                    @RightMeow once I manage to exist again for longer than five minute messenger checks maybe I can work with you & Esme on that. >.>

                    let it be a challenge to you

                        Every time I tried to come back, I tried to catch up with what happened and with all the new systems and back away slowly. Then the next time I try again it’s even worse, and I realize it will never magically get simpler, stuff will just keep piling on…

                          I gave this my usual 24 hour rule and it still bothers me, even if it’s pretty inconsequential: firstimpressions that aren’t actually first impressions but some vague commentary about activity. I’m certain it’s not done with malice, and I’m going to take that xp where I can get it, but after I’ve arranged and just rp’d a group scene for a few hours, ‘where has this person been’ makes me feel really crappy and a bit irritated. That’s what was gleaned about my character in that /whole scene/? Is my rp really that lackluster? I mean, I shouldn’t read that much into it, I know, but meh.

                          Like, I’m doing my best and already feel bad/guilty that I can’t be around as much as I used to, and stuff like that just makes me feel those feels more. Again, I’m absolutely certain it wasn’t meant as a dig or to elicit those feelings, but it kinda did.

                            I don’t know if it helps, but my general opinion of those kinds of firstimpressions is that the person writing them is just XP poaching. And they’re up there with the RS hunters.

                              It does help, and should be what I focus on instead of letting it get into my feels for sure.

                                I know it’s almost certainly not the spirit that it was meant in, but I would absolutely take spitful glee in reading it as ‘where has this person been all my life oh my god they are amazing’ and be like ‘yes I am amazing’.

                                  @Tori maybe it really WAS intended as “where has this person been all my life?” But I don’t have all the context, obvs

                                  If it wasn’t, it should have been.

                                      Tighter caps on the number of First Impressions and RS claims (not receiving) as it is a “how much time have I been online” method of XP vs. furthering a character’s goals or storytelling. To balance out, loosen the cap perhaps on the Vote XP. Although I’m sure we’ve all been guilty of getting to the 6th vote and going - ummm uhhhh that person!

                                      Reviewing FIs hurts my quality auditing brain as I go - but how is that an FI about the character or the scene.

                                        I used to straight-up report people I felt were using particularly the RS system to XP poach. Sometimes I felt like a vigilante.

                                            I’ve said it before, but declining to validate RS claims for undeserving scenes brings me joy. I also won’t give firstimpressions until I actually… have one. So I often don’t return those, either.

                                            as previously stated, good day.
