Who is the Murderer? {Game}

I know this game hasn't ended yet, and I'll continue hosting until it does, but someone else needs to host the next one. There's a fairly good chance I'll be leaving the site - most likely for good - in the near future, so I don't think I should be hosting it since I might end up deciding to leave before it ends.

You do what you have to do for you : )
If you do leave and then come back, or even if you decide to stay, would definitely like to RP with you sometime.

I appreciate the thought. If I do leave, I'll probably keep up my contact information in my bio at the very least for those who want to know me off the site. Several of the friends I've made here are already in contact with me elsewhere now, and some of them are encouraging me to leave this place too.

I've got no idea if we share anything in common in terms of role-play, but it'd be nice to look into it and I always welcome meeting more friends. When all is said and done, role-playing is largely a social hobby, so making good friendships is part of what defines a good role-player (it's also why most of the people I role-play with are part of my circle of friends). This sentiment is, unfortunately, not well understood here it seems, but then there's good people and bad people on most - if not all - sites.

This is something I've told this to multiple people here, but I'm something of a nomad when it comes to websites. I join just long enough to meet decent people and then I leave, continuing my friendships with those people away from the site I met them on. It's the only way to avoid all the toxic and immature people.

Anyway, I won't derail the game. Have fun.

New Feature Suggestion: Option to hide status bar

To be fair though, some of the people who use the status bar are worse than a lot of the people in spam.

I think the problem has less to do with an issue with the feature itself or its visibility, and far more to do with there not being enough active effort on the part of the staff to get rid of or deal with the toxic people here. I've actually been considering leaving this site permanently for months now, mostly because of how disappointing I consider this specific problem on the site in a general sense.

Really, the overarching rules of this site only apply to people posting in the threads and PM system (and even then only if problems are reported, if at all), because generally speaking it seems like very little is done outside of those things to keep trolls or other idiots from giving people a hard time or generally being assholes to total strangers for no reason other than what I presume to be their need to compensate.

The feature itself has a lot of useful applications, so it's more a problem with the community itself. Granted, the exact same applications of the status bar could actually be replaced by including a 'user status' thread and/or forum alongside the introduction area - where people could post if they need to leave the site for a while (my old forums I created had such a feature, but overall they were a far more civil community than this one is) - but then people should be keeping people up to date on their presence in their respective threads anyway.

Mahz explicitly said not to abuse each of the systems on this site; in fact, it's blatantly included as a note directly in each feature, but it seems people can just ignore that without consequence here for the most part. Like I said, the only places that people have to be civil or they get punished are the actual main threads, and I'm quite confident that if those were all that existed on this site then you'd very quickly see most of the idiots here leave. I'm not suggesting the other features be removed, but it just shows this place isn't managed well.

If you're a sixteen-to-twenty-four-year-old female, you should be smoking hot.

I went over that limit roughly a decade ago, but I never considered myself 'smoking hot' to begin with.

C'est la vie.

For obvious reasons (well, obvious to those who're in contact with me), the likelihood of me joining this has dropped a lot more now that I'm basically fed up with this site in a general sense. Pretty much the only reason I'll be sticking around - assuming I stick around at all - will be to complete GRG with my friends. There's slim chance at all I'll remain on the site after that.

Of course, you know this already, but considering I posted in this thread I didn't feel right if I just said nothing. Essentially, I don't want to join up with this thing and then have my situation on the site cause me to bail on you guys once my presence is actually important. At least three people in this thread are my friends, so I won't do that to you. I despise people who join role-plays if they're not in for the long run, and I make a point of never being a hypocrite.

I do hope people get active though, so this can move forward.

No problem.

Cool, I would've gotten that as soon as the 'U' got confirmed, but I've been contemplating leaving the site (for quite a while now -- months), and I haven't been too active in the last few days due to it. Thankfully, this thread can continue without my presence due to how I've organized it.

'A SWEET LUNCHBOX'?

Someone else can take the game if I'm right.

Important.

I'll try to keep this simple.

Discussion's currently taking place in the Discord channel regarding the possibility that this role-play might be getting transferred off the site. I've got plenty of reasons for this, and some of you know parts of the situation, but overall the last few days have escalated some problems that have been going on pretty much since I joined this site, and I'm frankly over it all. There's a rather high chance - though it isn't certain - that I'll be permanently leaving this site, after I collect all my data from it. With this said though, I don't plan to abandon this role-play.

With all of this in mind, I want to know how many people actually plan to stick with us if we do transfer.

I haven't actually confirmed if it'll happen yet, but pretty much everyone who knows the details seems to understand why I'm doing this; however, I still want to do what I feel's right by this whole group, since we have something good going here. Anyway, should the transfer occur, steps will also be taken to make the role-play more immersive and thorough than this site basically allows it to be. If the transfer doesn't happen, then everyone's just gonna hafta wait until I can tolerate this place again. Either way, it's fairly likely I'm leaving this site apart from this role-play (if it remains here).

As it stands, Ailyn, Phantom, Heap, Shadow, Pudd, and Tsu have all told me they're fine with it. Ed and Lotus only joined this site due to me (same with Ailyn), so they're likely good for it as well. I've just not spoken to them about it yet. Mostly mentioning these people here just so they feel no need to post their stance about it again.

I'll keep regular checks on the thread to see if people respond, but otherwise I'm only here to collect data for now.

I'm not making any promises about another game running, due to something that might be happening, but your spot's been reserved.
