[QUOTE="Drindin, post: 2559512, member: 38617"] What's so frustrating you ask? Simply put: Being shoved aside. Oh, that could mean many things, but here's the thing I mean: As a whole, both my characters and myself are socially inept. Me, mostly by choice, my characters, well, heaven knows. Now, initially, this isn't such a bad thing... but when it comes to storylines, it's the worst thing that can happen to a character. Why? Simply because, as it has proven to be so far, unless you are friends with many many characters, you're not going to find yourself involved in very many... if any at all. Why is this? Many storylines only allow friends of characters or family of characters in peril to come to the rescue. Not a single vigilante, or a single mercenary, or a single Glory Seeking Randomn Adventurer is allowed to be involved. This has caused problems for me. Many many problems. Biggest of which occured recently. I will not say any names, but my I will state my character was shoved aside by the other adventurers because he had no relations to those in peril. This frustrates me for a couple reasons, the most prominent being how possibly ridiculous it is. Why's it so ridiculous? Because this place is ISRP, or "[b]Interactive[/b] Story Role Playing". I've been unable to really interact with stories without getting PM's reading "You sure you want to do this?" Or having other characters tell mine that "You aren't related, so you shouldn't." Thus, this post came about. I'm not about to go off and make my self a hypocrate by sitting here and doing nothing. I've decided, now that you know why I'm frustrated, to get all the great plot-making-minds together to come up with a story, a story that will NOT be ridiculous, why? Because ANY BODY! And I mean [B]A-N-Y-B-O-D-Y[/B] can join it! GRR! I can't make my point seem strong enough! I want this to be the story of ALL STORIES! The STORY THAT WILL RULE ALL OTHER STORIES! [B][COLOR=red]THAT"S RIGHT![/COLOR][/B] All others! I mean we can have the vigilante, the out cast, the mercenary, the evil villains, the reformed-villian, the glory seeking adventurer! I want a no-holds-barred adventure, so that NONE OTHERS LIKE MYSELF shall EVER exist! No one shall ever feel left out because their characters are uselessly shoved aside! I want this adventure to span Juxta, and Oerth alike (Wizo's permitting, of course!) This is an adventure that will not just take one mind, but many minds to concoct! I am calling you, yes, you, all of you who read this! I'm calling those of you who want to work for this cause, to bring the "I" back into "ISRP"! Wether you will be a good guy or a villian, a contender or a writer, I'm calling YOU to help me! WHOSE WITH ME!? [/QUOTE]
