I'm dropping Pleakley, The Grand Councilwoman, Zira, and Sonny.

I was hoping to hang around until a global HMD post went up so I could see what I was doing wrong and fix it. But I realise this entire game is just filled with people who are too talented and out of my league. You guys deserve someone with more experience and less RP newbieness. Sorry for botching up whatever I did, I tried to do things right but I guess I didn't know how. Maybe with more practice things will get better.

You guys are all really good at what you do, and I haven't seen one single character that I didn't enjoy reading. The other reason I wanted to wait till an HMD post is because since day one of playing here, I've just wanted to gush about how great, how nice, and much fun you all are. The setting for the game is something that impresses me too, and I love the world the the mods have built for everyone.

I'm really sorry about having to drop now when I had plots with all my characters with all you beautiful people. So please don't feel like I'm just ditching because I don't care; I was really, really looking forward to playing all of them. I was excited and had been planning for so long. I wish I deserved to be here, but maybe I'll see some of you guys around?

~~Anyway, you are all very fabulous, and you have a right to have better Pleakleys, GCWs, Ziras, and Sonnys.~~

Thank you for playing with me. I tried my best and had fun while it lasted.

Hey guys, I'm chill again. I'm normally kind of lacking a backbone, but you should know that when all this no-fun went down, I'd also been dealing with some lame sad stuff at the hospital I work at, and finding out my mom was sick. Additionally I'm just starting a new full time job as well as some pretty intense accounting classes (which I am crap at), so aside from whatever RP malaise I had going on, there's some other stuff I was occupied with too.

Anyway, keep on keeping on you cool people, and have a lot of fun!

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

Dude, you can't let a comment on the anoncomm get you down like that. They didn't even give any reasons or anything. You obviously have people interested in the plots you were working on, so why don't you stick around and see how those pan out?

If you're having fun, you should stay.

It's not just one anon comment. I could very much handle that. There's just been a lot of little things and I feel badly because I haven't been able to fix any of them.

I'm really really sorry for letting you down.

Nobody's perfect, man.

We do this for fun. I know I haven't been in that game all that long yet, but you haven't seemed like a bad player from my perspective. If you think you're doing something wrong, then do your best to improve. That's all anyone can ever do. Even if you don't think it's just right, as long as you're having a good time and other people are having a good time, that's all that matters.

You got in with that many characters, didn't you? You can't be doing too many things wrong. I don't think you have any reason to apologize to me or anyone.

Do what you think is best for you, I guess.

Obviously I must have done something wrong, but I'm not really sure what that was. If I knew I would try to fix it. I stopped having fun when I started worrying about what people thought of me, and why some were behaving in a particular way. And then I started feeling badly because I don't know enough about this culture.

I'm gonna let you in on a secret: You can't please everyone. Especially on the internet.

I know I probably do a lot of things other people consider wrong too. Hell, I'm sure there are those completely uninterested in playing with my character just because he's an AU. I'm not saying you shouldn't worry about what others think of you, but you shouldn't let it get you so down, either.

Do you have a regular HMD on your journals? I have one for each game on a different journal I link all my individual character journals to. If you have one of those then anyone with a complaint should have a valid method of reaching you and giving pointers. You look like you're clearly willing to take critique.

For every one person with a problem, there's going to be many more who are truly willing to thread and interact with you.

I do have an HMD on all my journals. I haven't had a single comment that wasn't advertising in any of them. I would have appreciated some concrit, or even someone harshly pointing out something they didn't like, but all I got was silence.

My problems doesn't just lie in my hypothetical RP slip ups, but a lot of other things that've happened in this community. I won't air them out because that doesn't seem very classy nor very nice, but a public thing for example, would be all of my replies disappearing in a thread. I worked hard on those and it's disheartening to lose them all, especially when you were trying to weave all your replies into a larger plot. But that desire for overarching cohesion might just be a character flaw and I don't blame anyone for that. It just feels bad man.

I couldn't even begin to tell you what happened with that, and it really sucks that it happened at all.

I guess all I can say now is that I'll be sad to see you go, and I know many others will be too.

I haven't been very lucky I guess.

Thank you anyway, and I'm sorry.

You haven't let anybody down. It's a game. We play for fun, and if it's not obvious, people here like playing with you! Ignore the anon. And if you think something is wrong, work on it. And if something is wrong (which I am not saying), you aren't going to get better by running away from it, anyway. And as far as I've seen, everyone at sing is more than willing to help people. One of the best ways to become a better writer is to hang around with better writers and learn from them.

And they like playing with you. And you like it here. That should be enough.

The thing is, my problem is not just one Anon. I've had a whole bunch of small problems since I joined. I expected to find my name on the anoncomm because I was under the impression people here were unhappy with me, though I don't know why nor how to fix what I don't know. One of my problems was that I couldn't work on what I didn't know I was doing badly. I tried asking for some help but instead of responses I get a lot of dead air.

I know some people don't like playing with me (obviously) and that would not normally be an issue because that is normal, I think. But the idea that there are people here who won't tell me why they dislike makes me disinclined to post. I don't want to accidentally tag someone who really doesn't like me... but I don't know how to avoid doing that since I don't know who they are or what they don't like about me / my playing. I don't want to paranoia hanging over my head. I just wanted rainbows.
