[@stone] Stone, adding your weight to this is not a bad thing. For me, it is nice to have people that can understand how I feel. I tend to rp with partners and not groups because one I joined here just died too quickly for me. I feel I have been trying for 3 years now since I joined here, it hasn't gotten any better. I feel like it got worse. My RP luck and even finding those of interest just seems as barren as a desert and as false as a mirage. I feel no one is looking at the point that I have been continuing my efforts and trying to look with IC's I had before but I got them deleted because like the others, they got no interest no matter the bump or edit that I did to them. For me, I just seen myself as the one getting ghosted and with no explanation as to why. Being left hanging on starting phases of RP's and even starting them only to never get an answer back from them is one of the reasons I fight so hard against ghosting because I feel in my perspective it is dishonorable and cowardly to do that to someone and to constantly having to put up with it no matter what advice or action you take and still not get a long-term RP partner is very demoralizing. I asked myself this and it stems from me seeing everyone else, I have been so vexed with ghosting that I feel like no one can relate to me because as I try to fit in it is like the black sheep effect and I don't feel like I fit in interest wise with everyone else in contrast to seeing people who have it easier than myself. I know if you saw the prior post I don't need to explain more of dead rp's within a year of joining here. [hider=My Idea on ghosters] To me, ghosters need to be accountable. To me they can own up to their interests and their claims that they made? They owe the effort also when they make their interest known. 100 interest means 100 commitment and i expect that. [/hider]
