I just wanna weigh in on the whole RP death thing by adding [s]absolutely nothing to the conversation[/s] a permanent GM's two cents.

I can understand how you feel, [@rebornfan320]. You might got good ideas, good characters, hell, even a good camaraderie goin' on with your partner (or group). And then BOOM BAM POW it's all gone (or is it more of a gradual whizzzzzzz as the air deflates out of the RP?)

I've been a GM for ages now. Lots of years. I honestly dunno when I started, at this point. As much as it saddens me to say it, I still haven't seen a forum RP to completion. It's not even an issue with the players I have, and I don't think it's a personal problem of mine, either. It's just the nature of RPing. Hell, my longtime 1x1 partner and I let our RPs die all the goddamn time. It just happens. But we keep going because it's about the journey. [s]And also because of our insatiable need to use the godlike faceclaims we find online.[/s]

In the end, I gotta tell you, there's no solving the problem you're having with ghosting. It's all about your perspective. you just gotta keep doin' it. You just gotta keep trying. Cuz if you don't, then you're done with RP. That's just how it is. RPers ghost and get ghosted. It's like a fact of life, a universal constant, like death, taxes, and country music. 

You have to find your own fun. Keep searching, man. I'm sure there's a group or partner out there that'll satisfy your needs. It's all a matter of looking hard enough for them. If you can't afford that time or energy, no shame! There are a bajillion other things to do in life other than sending lil messages on a backwater internet forum. Just ask yourself, "Is it worth it?" and let your answer guide you. And, just like country music, if you can't accept that answer, you're gonna have to find something else to listen to.


NINJA EDIT: OH GOD I SENT THIS BEFORE I SAW THE MOST RECENT MESSAGES O_O
