[QUOTE="John a.k.a Sir D, post: 3403028, member: 47972"] For one thing, how does a character that exists like this a good character? If he is not ever around, how does that work? Not to mention that in three years, a lot of characters are gone, as well as players. Maybe if people weren't always complaining about the complaining, there would be less arguing? This is virtually impossible. You absolutely cannot always engage every character that wishes to do whatever IC. It's impossible, sometimes we are just too busy to RP with someone and I guarantee that everyone as at least once, ignored a person. I have thought about this a lot, and yes, it is the player's attitude, however, everyone has bad attitudes, and once again, it affects everyone's playing style usually unknowingly. This is inevitable because your brain defects your thoughts away from your normal way of playing. I agree! Some arguments have already been eliminated by a few different posts. For example, first it is shown that he says "I've seen more threads with this exact, same topic than I care to count." then, "Advice has been given before, in all the other threads like this one that have popped up. It may be unfortunate to say, but people get tired of repeating themselves over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over ... see what I mean? Annoying, isn't it?" followed by "If a small number of people = X, and if those small number of people have trouble entertaining themselves = Y, then X + Y [B]doesn't =[/B] C, that it's everyone else's fault." Now let me ask you something, why do you repeat yourself so much, which you claim to have done a lot, when shortly after you claim that their isn't hardly anyone that is complaining? Seriously though, I think there is a true problem. Noting a lot of people's talks about noobs not having a problem joining in, this post isn't about noobs. This post is about people who cannot seem to get involved or stay involved with RPing. Noobs can almost always get involved because it is easier when you first start off to begin and get started and into it. As a noob, it seems they don't run out of energy into their characters, something I notice quite frequently. I also vote to agree for storyline posts, as that would help -everyone- understand why I seem to push things and move things to fast. That is what has been said, but I'd like to say one comment on that, all of my characters have storyline reasons for what they do. I play as my character, a lot of the time that is not how -I- want to play. I did not want to have Sir Dieterich die, however, his character would have done so. This is another problem that I see around the site. I know the CoC and all of that, but seriously...sometimes people don't act their characters and do things because they want to OOC, but this is straying from my overall posting point...

I don't really care... Anyhow, I would hope that this post is thought about and considered before people vent their anger at me for this one. After all, most of us are adults, or nearing it and the attitude of some has kind of scared me lol, though, I do admit, I got sort of mad as well, everyone's emotions seems to just flood the posts no matter what.
