Alright how about this I personally suffered not one but TWO seizures over the course of a couple months of each other and in which I was in the hospital for a day each without the ability to do anything but sit there. When I got home the following days I pulled out my laptop after getting settled in and told everyone I'm going to take a couple days to recover from it and will be back in said given amount of time. And this was ME not someone else. Even without a friend to help me I informed all of the roleplayers that I suffered from the aforementioned.

 Yes some people have bigger issues broken bones (like the girl's sister who pm'd me on the other site I wished her sister a good recovery and understood why she couldn't continue), bigger seizures than my own, or what have you. But the topic on my post that seems to rile people up is that I'm expecting to much from people. I'm not really asking more than what I'd do for anyone else personally. If someone doesn't post in a week and is in the hospital then so be it. Maybe they'd need to drop everything to recover. I'm fine with that as long as I get a notification from someone or the player wasn't in an important spot.

 If they can't do so so be it. Tell me in later that you were in said hospital and I'll apologize readily for whatever and take you off said shit list mentioned above and if possible allow you to keep playing. It happens. I'd gladly ask one of my pals or family members that I injured myself in some way shape or form, that's if I was in some sort of state that would allow me to do so, to inform the people whom I do stuff with on this site or another that I'm inoperable. I view myself with a sense of professionalism, [i]not just in roleplaying in real life I carry myself with expectations as well and readily admit when I have failed or will fail at something[/i], and view it as an obligation to at least tell people why I am inoperable. Why? Because that's how I do things. I don't want people to wait on me if I can't do something and neither do I want to be that one guy everyone needs to do something then not show up. Do I take myself too seriously? It's very possible that I do take myself way to seriously. It's also possible that I have too high of expectations for others. Does this mean I won't adapt? No but I expect the common courtesy of being informed when stuff happens. 

However getting away from said hot topic if you just up and leave without saying ANYTHING whatsoever and you're active on this site then that really makes me mad. You signed up for something, spent the time to do something, and then left without saying a word? Or you signed up for something didn't follow through and the person who made said rp is now stuck waiting for a person who will never show up. Alright how about I put this part in perspective from my point of view as a gamer: You're playing in a tournament and it consists mainly of three players on a team. One of your team mates get's done his part for the first whatever rounds of the tournament....and then leaves. He has no important engagements to see to. He doesn't have to take care of himself or anyone else. And he seems like a nice guy. But he just decides for whatever reason 'Hey I don't like this anymore I'm just going to leave my team hanging. I'm not going to inform them and I'm just going to go home' leaving his two teammates to drop out of the tournament or find someone hurriedly who may or may not be able to function properly. That's not cool in my own book. Not sure how others view someone just up and leaving when others are relying on you do carry up your end of something but that doesn't fly on me side of the page. If you don't like something just flat out say something to the guy or group as a whole that you're not enjoying it and wish to withdraw. It's that simple. 

This is just my opinion if you don't like it feel free to flame me as you will this is the internet after all. Others take themselves less seriously than myself, other people take things more in align as how you guys see it. Am I trying to justify how I see things? In some ways yes in other ways no as I don't intend to have everyone agree with the way I see and do things just like how I don't agree with other stuff people do. Does this make me salty? No in one sense as I am not angry as I am writing this nor am I feeling defensive but yes in another that I just wrote three paragraphs explaining how I view things and stating my own stance like a politician trying to explain his unpopular views in front of another group of politicians whom heavily disagree on his views. I'm just bitching about something that really deeply irks me and if you got a problem with how I view things then good for you you got yourself and opinion. If you agree with me good for you then that is also your opinion. It really doesn't matter I'm not some special snow flake and I'm not some pompous jackass who expects people to do something he wouldn't do himself or at least try do himself. I myself won't be monitoring this thread for a bit to avoid getting in a prolonged conversation about how much my opinion is bad and or whatever be it.
