[quote=@DarkwolfX37] Nobody's ever here: Pinkie quit Tox is who knows where and basically quit I sleep during the day and haven't been as creative as I used to be recently Spirit has a job Whizz quit Soul has a job Sven is getting a job Darlit has school You work from home on your own hours You are literally the only person in a position to do anything. I don't know if you never put any thought into this, but the only reason we were able to be as active as we were was because we were in high school. Then schools started changing policies and people lost time to be here. Now everyone's out of school and expected to either go to college or get a job, neither of which allow for much time rping. I could have told you two years ago, you have two options. You can either accept that there's not going to be a lot of time when everyone is online at once or even much time each person is online at all, or you can try to give MR a good ending. We decided about that time to not go with the latter option, so you're stuck with the former. This is not something reversible, you and I are not the common situation. Most people have to do a job and generally that leaves little time for other things like rping. We will never be able to go back to what we once were, and I'm not even convinced we should. [/quote] I avoid saying this, but I don't buy that people are online their max amount of time. I don't even want to do this because of people, but because it's a better system. But while we're on that subject, I have poured hours of my life into this, and have stretched myself farther than I probably should have in order to add grease to the wheels. I have broken rules, sneaked tech, and otherwise did what I wasn't supposed to do in order to be here for everyone. And now where are we? I'm on all day and get maybe twenty posts. People give the excuse that they're "busy," but that inherently implies that I'm not. None of you know my life, but I'm constantly busy, stressed, and working on four things at once, but I always make time for you all because I love everyone here and this adventure we participate in. I give time I don't have to something I don't need, but it's worth it to me because I get a push back from everyone. If others are willing to participate, I will sacrifice whatever I have to; I turned down potential for hundreds of thousands of dollars because it had a high probability of ripping me away from MR. But when it seems like nobody puts in nearly as much effort as I do, it gets really discouraging. I don't want to be a part of a one-man show. I want to be a part of MR.
