Role-playing wise i've been roleplaying since like the age of 12 or so back in 2009 on a site called sploder. At the time though, it was much more me trying to do text based games than roleplay. However it became that in time.

In 2010 on minecraft forums I started to actively roleplay, although in those times I did rapid fire quick text roleplays and I didn't really improve much on writing capability in forum RPs until 2011 when I made a roleplay called war room galactic domination which exemplifies how I viewed forum roleplaying as a game more than collaborative story. 

That mindset lingered on, as in 2012 when I made space role-plays like Sagittarius my obsession with "balance" in a space RP setting got incredibly unreasonable. As a particularly unpleasant example I once told someone that nothing of value was lost when they quit the RP because I despised a race that I perceived as too peaceful since in my mind that equated to a mary sue race. 

Said mindset ultimately led to a pretty big breakdown in in fall 2012 when I rage quitted a role-play I had and later cried "i'm leaving" in January. Although the reasons for that quitting had much more to do with me not wanting to enforce rules I disagreed with- a factor that in 2014 led to the RP clique I loosely associate with coming here. 

2013 in roleplaying I consider a age of stagnation and decline since overall my interest in roleplaying took a steady decline since I never could keep interest in any RP I joined. Around September I quit again, although I came back 4 or so months later. By that point I pretty much decided to no longer announce any time I leave since I lost credibility by coming back a couple months later anyways.

By early 2014 I pretty much was on the verge of giving up the whole RP thing, but what managed to rekindle things was moving from minecraft forum RPs, something I wanted to do earlier but I liked being around a good share of the "precipricks" and instead stuck around. Eventually drama happened and the move to RPGuild happened.
