I made the Discord fans annoyed with me when I finally visited the Guild area of it and saw why the Guild is so slow; more posting going on there than here and our own Discord is a prime example.

I know it's fun to chat hell I am as guilty as anyone but it doesn't help keep the RP alive if all our efforts are spent entertaining each other with Tags to videos or memes.

As a Tabletop Game Master I am often forced to stop my players from chatting about work, the Latest Movie or TV show or their car or whatever so that the Game keeps going and we don't lose momentum. I'm not a Tyrant, I'm a Benevolent Dictator and I know how people like to talk with one another and it must be allowed but I also know that if the Roleplay is to continue it must be focused on. I did have breaks because people want snacks or smokes and that was when we would chat.

I mentioned that I think Discord is sucking the life from the guild in my Status and drew several comments on it as Status posts which I usually don't answer because Status is not meant for chatting or Debate which is why I posted it here.
