[QUOTE="Elf_Ariel, post: 4258561, member: 34891"] Well there, I hit quick reply...that wasn't so bad now was it. Perhaps Jea, as I've so often wondered, because we are old, we are getting senile. On the other hand, while my characters; of which I maintain three actively, and several more passively; differ across the spectrum I try to make them all approachable. I have often found myself incredibly lazy, in terms of approaching others; and on that other end of the stick too, where I envy some players to get to RP with those I look up to. I wonder to myself, what am I doing wrong, in order to surmise what it is that keeps me out of the circle of RPers which I look up to. You are one of them. Dont be surprised, or flattered. The list goes beyond yourself, but includes you none the less. The greatest difficulty any player faces is time management. My characters are prone to dropping off the face of the planet every now and again because -i- am prone to dropping off the face of the earth into the horrible abyss of work and family and whatever else crops up. I always intend on telling everyone what is happening, but that's not always possible. Besides that particular point, I am constantly poked, proded and requested by folk I am inclined to RP with because they've done the same for me in the past. This is not to say I dont like to RP with new people, but that I endeavour to keep those I've met already happy first. Everything else becomes secondary. I have found, during my wanderings throughout the years in ISRP; that when you fall out with someone, you'll often fall back in with them later on down the track and it will be like nothing has happened. I like it when that happens, it's like finding something you've lost. Unlike you, I tend to have more solid shoulders on which to burden. I dont mind meeting a new character to have them disappear on me. I sometimes wonder why I bother...but on the other end of the stick, provided you have fun at the time, what does it matter if they are back next week? And as you said yourself, that is what RPing is about. Fun. Go forth and make it so! *hugs* Not intended to be mean in any way shape or form. Ariel's shadow. [/QUOTE]
