[quote=@The Mad Hatter] I didn't say that it did. I was always stubborn and lazy. I think it amounts more to maturity than it really does to experience. Back when I started out, I was just a little kid. Back then, I lived for the games - both RPs and actual, you know, videogames. Now I'm adult with kids of my own and this is something I do when I have a moment to spare. Sometimes, that amounts to several (OOC) posts a day. Other times, it means I disappear for a week or two because I just don't have the time to spend on something that actually consumes as much time as roleplaying can. I think that's the difference. I really understand now, that people have lives and roleplay on the side, instead of having a life on the side of their roleplaying. .:EDIT:. Oh, and I dislike A's entire concept, which makes his relatively small part in the series irrelevant. I dislike the character, not his role. [/quote] Fair enough, but I get suspicious about people just dropping off the face of the Earth. For a lot of things there's not going to be something outright preventing a heads-up--and that's not an intensive task. ... how can you dislike ninja wrestling?
