[QUOTE="James Heard, post: 4137829, member: 7280"] Hi guys, I've decided to call it quits, probably from PbP gaming at ENWorld entirely. If I continued to run Janis I'm afraid I'd fall into the trap of making her less interesting and believable to please others in the interest of expedience. While I understand people's objections to and proponents of this though, I've come to the conclusion that while "gaming to game" is a good enough goal in itself, it's not exactly why I've decided to participate myself. I suppose it's always been my intention in the back of my mind to create dramatic and interesting characters that would work in or out of the framework of a game. What value [I]I'm[/I] getting out of PbP gaming isn't from having an outlet for gaming, it's from the writing itself. Obviously it's not exactly meeting the social needs of the group dynamics here at ENWorld though, something I'm much less interested in. Frankly speaking, if I were looking for more of the social aspect of gaming I'd arrange for more face to face sessions here in Florida, and I somehow lost sight of the fact that not everyone has the option and is looking for a more personal experience in their game. I miscalculated the group expectations here at ENWorld based upon my own, and for that I apologize. I've had a lot of fun with the game for a long time, but in the end I suppose I'm really here to entertain others along with myself and if what I'm doing is less entertaining than annoying then I'd rather bow to the group consensus here at ENWorld than continually defend against it. Anyways, thanks to everyone who's made this game a great experience over the while and I hope everyone continues to have fun with it for a long time afterwards. :D [/QUOTE]
