I just dislike CS' in general. Often it feels like an application for a job and when some people ask for like multiple paragraphs (in casual, even) sometimes it makes the hobby feel more like work. But like, that's just me here and I'll fill out a sheet to the standards expressed even if it is often begrudgingly so. I've found that there are better ways to gauge potential than subjecting new RPers to a potentially intimidating sheet. In casual especially which always seemed to be like the comfortable ground between the lawless free pool and the advanced tower. 

Obviously I'm not saying that people should change or shit. I'm weird in my approach to RP characters where I don't like having so much of them on the table at the jump. If it works for you, it works for you and that's cool.

Everyone has different experiences and such, and I obviously don't have extensive GM experience but I do have an anecdote and that is that every RP I've joined with a super long, super strict CS process has wound up dead in the water after like a month. 




Shit.



Maybe I'm the problem.
