If we are already complaining I'll be honest. I haven't been enjoying this game for months now. And it's not even the slowness that gets me. I thought long and hard about what is missing for me when playing on this forum. And the simple fact is that it's not the pace, it's the soul. Roleplaying is not a solitary activity. It's not about posting up a piece of text occasionally and than going back into the shadows to wait for people to respond. That's called sitting alone in the dark being lonely. Roleplaying is a social activity. It's absolutely the same as going to a party or playing sports or playing a video game together only for those of us more literally minded. It's not just about artistic expression (although that is a part of it) but about meeting new people and sharing that expression with them and doing so in an atmosphere of camaraderie, energy, excitement and [u]just general hanging out.[/u] Put simply, it's a social activity for us nerds. And when I came to this forum I was primarily hoping to get some of that sweet socialization. It was supposed to make up for the fact I am stuck in my home without anyone to hang out with. And that's just not present here. :( To be blunt I've seen more socialization and hanging out at a funeral. I won't be quitting or anything. But that's mostly just because I don't want to let you people down and not for my own sake. If anything I personally feel even lonelier now than when I joined.
