Most annoyances are things that the people find faults in. With this one I know the fault is with me, but that makes it even more annoying.

An RP I'd like to join but there are 100 posts, they're all five paragraphs at the minimum, and nobody is remotely interested in giving me a recap either out of laziness or an expectaion for me to catch up myself. I have college. I don't have a free week to marathon all your posts.

Also if there's a well-built world but it's *too* well-built and you're expected to read eleven thousand word essays on the social, economic and political systems of the world you're in, etc.

But it does look fucking absurd, when it only selectively happens when dozens upon dozens make the same point, without a peep from any opposition.

(and honestly, the thread isn't for, bitching out certain individuals, or to snidely yell at others frustrations.) Not saying you're doing so in this case, just for clarity sake.[/quote]

does it look fucking absurd or do you think it looks fucking absurd? i've never seen anyone make the same point either and the fact that you consider there to be an opposition infers that there are 'sides' to this story when there clearly are not
