I advise everyone involved to ignore Silence's remarks and get back on topic. This thread is a viable relief for a lot of us who have minor issues or grievances that we'd like not to fester or influence us, so I'd rather it not get locked because of any [i]defensive[/i] remarks that poise no point but antagonize and accuse others. I'm a little tired otherwise I'd lead with some sort of grievance of my own.

So to amend that, here is an old one of mine:

[quote]Can we complain about ourselves and our terrible habits? I think I’m going to do that.

I’m really sick and tired of being in this sort of role-playing purgatory where my creative passion lingers in a dead zone. I’ve never been a better writer than I am now and here I am not actively feeling the same bite I did back a few years ago (let’s say 2007 to like 2010). I mean I’ve tried all the tricks in the book to be inspired consistently and Pach full well knows my inspiration has been flaky in recent years. But every single time it disappears it is for this short ass time. I mean I think 2013 was the most active I’ve been in years for role-playing prose.

I’m also sick and tired of me subconsciously sabotaging and destroying my own role-plays by either activity, arguing, or what-have-you. I love GMing, and as much as I prefer to be a player sometimes it’s not viable. Why can’t I keep anything afloat after I finished the one role-play (saga) I finished a few years ago? It’s like I finally completed a role-play without excessive time-skips and what happens after? Everything fails. Speaking of, I have an apologetic PM to send to two people.

I’m also not sick of “anime” (could you guys find a more trite thing to generalize and complain about, really?) role-plays, I’m sick of ones that are inconsistent or ridden with plotholes as well as quality drops. 

As for less self-focused points: I don’t like the way drama always rears its head and ends up killing a role-play through reputation or just squeezing the OOC to an awkward point. But yeah, most of this was in casual role-plays. I had once a guy argue with me that my race restrictions were not appreciated by the “furry community” because I wouldn’t let him write a gary stuish fire-bending dragon in a post-apocalyptic low magic universe! The nerve of me!

I’d also like people to stick to role-plays for longer than a month on end, I know this is a very minority issue as there are months/years old projects in all three of the main role-playing sections. But some of the nice casual role-plays I liked vanished too fast for my own taste.

I’m sick of writing CS’s, but I understand why I need to.[/quote]
