[@Thinslayer] I'm sorry to hear that you dislike how everyone on earth lives with a mindset different from yours. But you're right. There's no fire, no drive to write. For me anyway. I don't have a life. I never had one, but I also suffer from a complete lack of motivation which is, unfortunately, not easy to explain without blaming my overall mental state. There are many factors that contributed to this lack of fire. Don't get me wrong, I had fire at the start. Over time, things become clear to me, and that fire goes out. The reason the "I have a life" reason is quite common is because.. [b][i]believe it or not[/i][/b], being human and having a life is pretty common. Welcome to the internet, the information super highway that connects billions of people together, most of which probably do [i]have lives.[/i] Sorry. As much as you don't want to hear it; this is actually your fault. Not all of it, but most of it. In my opinion. The roleplay began as a mess. Some order was implemented.. But it remained a mess. I'm not sure about the others, but I can't write properly for a world that is void of any structure, let alone a RP with no post structure. There is no map, magic system, or pacing. Although saying that we can't post our CS's in the OOC/CS tabs was a somewhat interesting decision, it didn't help anyone at all. You must trust that the players will not Meta-game with personalities. I was cautious about joining a RP that had such little information in it, but I understand what you wanted to do with it. However it doesn't seem to have worked in your favour. You wanted people to world build with you (However it looked more like you wanted them to world build [i]for[/i] you). [b]353[/b] posts in, and I still know nothing about this world, because there isn't really one. Other than some pseudo-SciFi fairy dust. What are the attitudes that the races bear toward each other? Hostile? Neutral? These things help dictate the general banter that would happen between characters and their general outlook. Magic systems are the bread and butter (For lack of a better spread), of any fantasy RP. Now I don't want to have to lecture you about this, but I'm going to anyway. Even in the most generic of generic Fantasy realms, there are rules. Magic has rules. At the very least, the origin of the magical power is written out. Does it come from the soul? Does magic just float around the air until someone wants to use it? The manifestation isn't important, where it comes from is. Personally, I feel like these random NPC encounters are extremely unnecessary. I recall you telling us to get our characters to interact and learn about each other, but because you keep bringing in NPCs, everyone is getting distracted. Gorman wants to get into Laina's pants, Lieutenant Demon man is just randomly there for no other reason than to say "I'm here for food and that girl", and suddenly Erudessa is in the camp. Erudessa, the lady that's meant to be dead [b]has appeared within a day of the quest starting.[/b] I remember talking about pacing to you and how it's been screwed up from the moment we left the town. Let's have a fun recap, just like old times! [list] [*] Party got their orders [*] Have a scuffle with Vert and decide not to kill her [*] Leave town [*] Get attacked by Wargs [*] Get attacked by the Warlock [*] Set up camp [/list] This is one day. [b]353 posts[/b] for [i][b]one day.[/b][/i] And you have the gall to get upset about lack of motivation? In 4 months, we have achieved almost nothing. We've spent 20+ posts [b][i]waiting for dinner. [color=6ecff6]"Which is deer, apparently."[/color][/i][/b] To conclude, I really don't think you have the right to be upset about any of this. 3 days isn't a long time. To many, 1 month is indicative of a dead RP. Maybe you could've spent all that pent up motivational energy to build the world of this roleplay? Nobody has done much of it for 4 months, that's a good indicator.
