[quote=@NuttsnBolts] I think it's more a desire to not hurt the other persons feelings by saying "you've and I have created a very crap story. I want out" In saying that, group ones can be just as bad. I've made a few RPs where they just didn't play out right and things have happened so I've closed them off. Its harsh as a gm when no one replies too cause you wonder if you've made a big mistake somewhere. [/quote] How they interpret my leave is on them and even so, I always give a good reason but the majority just can't take it and they become bitter to highly potentially interested players whom also leave because of their newfound attitude. Apparently, it's a universal theme on roleplaying forums so I'm just talking in terms of my last experience on a different forum. With what happened to you, was it just that everyone flaked out on you? What happened? I doubt you did something wrong otherwise you wouldn't've gone out of your way to format many group roleplays to see which one is a hit or miss so don't blame it on yourself; commitment issues apply as much in roleplaying as they do in the real world!
