Yeah, yeah, but these are some stretched answers. I never said romances are wrong, or unusual in a zombie-apocalypse setting, the thing that I find [I]unusual[/I] is that almost everyone is making relatively clear efforts to pursue a romance. And almost everyone is also playing near-perfect looking characters that are generously beautiful, lol, which makes their OOC efforts more forward.

Hope can spring from anything, and whatever anyone chooses to believe in. It doesn't necessarily mean people [I]need[/I] to feel hope from love and strive to pair up despite the chaos, immediately at least.

And personally, the socialization and pursuing of a romance feels more like a cheesy teenage romance in this situation than anything else - seeing as that I can bet that people who just met each other will be claiming love and sucking face within a week or two in-character, having really awkward intimate encounters, and more lol.

But, even as what I said might not be warranted, don't take it to heart. I'm not here to boss anyone around or tell them how they need to RP, I feel it's less of what justifies romance, and more of following the rules(the rule of, have fun) and being courteous of other Roleplayers. Sorry if I spoke out-of-line before.
