Has happened to me many times— just not on RPG yet.

Not here on Roleplayer Guild but yes, I have finished many, many RPGs.

Elsewhere, yes. Here, no.

[quote=@Light the Dark]I have. On here, even.

However they were 1x1 RPs ...[/quote]

This community definitely has commitment issues. And I think the concept which people don't understand is that dedication to roleplay isn't a feeling; it's a choice. If you give up on a roleplay from the moment your excitement to try something new has begun to wane, then you're [i]never[/i] going to see a story through to the end, ever. You have to be committed even when you're not extremely enthused about posting. You have to post even when you don't feel like it, and there [i]will[/i] be times where an RP is slower, or when another player is trying your patience, or it just feels more like a job than a hobby in general.

People here by and large are just too damn capricious to stick with an RP when the initial "honeymoon phase" has worn off on a new setting/plot/premise. They run on the fumes of infatuation, and then they quit once the RP turns out to be less than perfect.

It's very frustrating that I grow more jaded by the day because with the exception of a few 1x1s, the RPs here have [i]always[/i] died before my eagerness to post in them has died. And I'm afraid to try creating new threads because my effort will just be wasted on whimsical assholes who cannot stay dedicated; so besides ruining RPs which already exist, I can attest from direct experience that these people are ruining future RP prospects, too! They're basically spoiling my hobby and I regularly consider moving to another site in the hopes of finding a more mature community than this. If they're all like this, though, then it's futile, and I'd may as well take up knitting or something.
