      Agreed. though, when it comes to roleplayers, I find that the people who write giant poses (often purple ones) are very prone to doing it every single time, whereas people who write 3-4 liners are perfectly willing and able to write longer poses when the situation warrants it.

      It’s about balance; you have to be able to keep the dynamic flow of the scene with the shoreter, quicker poses and then bust out the big guns when your character and their situation needs the weight.

      In Occam I trust.

        Grieving a bit over loss of RP energy. Well, loss of anything energy. I really appreciate how understanding my RP partners have been. I still fret. And I miss pick up and public scenes that are live. I figure I keep bombing impressions for anyone who isn’t familiar with my RP and storytelling capacity.

        But going on now almost 2 months of pain and fatigue post covid is maddening. Luckily i think this time of year most everyone is crazy busy. I miss you. 😞 even if RL is biting a lot of folks right now.

          @Gashlycrumb It is my contention that Wheel of Time would be shorter by half if Jordan hadn’t described every stitch of clothes people wore. And, similarly, Song of Ice and Fire, but food instead of clothing.

            Trying to coordinate a series of events, reached out to a bunch of different organizations in-game and most bit immediately, so I put up an anonymous form to help set up scheduling to try to keep events from overlapping.

            Already have gotten anonymous feedback on my roleplaying twice on it, from people (probably person, almost identical) who have never reached out to me in game telling me I’m trying to plan their events for them.

            If you want to complain to me, complain to me, don’t leave anonymous shitposts on something I’m doing to generate activity with a social character. DM me, reach out to me in game and I’ll give you my Discord, I’m happy to talk about things. Getting around game rules to anonymously attack me like this in a place I can’t even respond is not the way.

                  @Tez the best part is where they say that I don’t act in good faith while anonymously and passive-aggressively claiming I’m “trying to plan or schedule their rp”

                  Like, if you don’t want to come, just don’t come. If you want to do something else, do something else. I’m not forcing anything here. Just trying to schedule.

                  But clearly I’m the one acting in bad faith right now.

                  The kind of discouragement people get for trying to do shit is always just stunning.

                      I tend to fall into these long periods of inactivity and I’m right back there these days.

                      Right now I’m sort of struggling with the fact that the only game I’m even active on has me massively disengaged, working hard to avoid one massively toxic individual (who is a known quantity to many) and their tiny cadre of people whose bigtime "pick me " energy tends to suck the air of the room by virtue of their very presence.

                      Note, this is just a vent post, not a name n’ shame. None of these people have really gotten in my way directly but the general level of effort it takes to avoid extremely active and connected people is fucking exhausting and it’s just one of several contributing factors to me just not wanting to log in.

                      Time to fire up Baldur’s Gate 3 and talk to some birds again.

                      I woke up feeling so good, I think I’d better call in sick/ I need a personal trainer to help me hold my drink
                      I plan to be spontaneous next time we meet/I’m putting off procrastinating until next week
                      I’ll get onto it when I give a shit

                        That brainweasle that’s telling me that I cannot and have nothing contribute to a game, its scenes or its plot. It makes me freeze up and want to apologize for wasting people’s time.

                        I know it’s brainweasles. I know no one thinks about me enough to dislike me. But damn if it doesn’t make it hard to initiate.

                          I don’t know what game you’re on, but this is the sort of thing I would hope my players would come to me about, because it’s the sort of thing I have gone through and that I like to prioritize when I run a game.

                                        Thundergulch was around for awhile, but just died last year. I too am looking forward to this new cowboy game!!

                                          @Pink I couldn’t do thundergulch in part due to the one dude who posted their redacted TS logs with a giant note on the top of it that said full insemination logs available upon request or something akin to that. It just felt icky? Lol
