[quote=@mickilennial] Sure! I totally agree. However, since 2013, these games with each passing year have gotten less interactive, less collaborative, and less concerned with the shared universe element. They became rather isolated, like we were simply using the games to host a few chapters of stories disconnected with one another, with no connective tissue, and strict lines in the sand about interaction and strict parentage. That is not, in my mind, in the spirit of role-play. That aside, yeah, coming into a thread and being dismissive of the fic writer approach isn’t good either. I’ve always argued there needs to be a balance between the two schools; the two philosophies of independent/solo writer and role-player. I know for a fact multiple people don’t even read other people’s posts, so at that point, that is a problem. Before the exodus of players, I think we did a good job of getting back to that balance. Events in other posts have been mentioned, collaborative posts have brought in different people to conclude situations, and we had a really good pace of play as well. This RP has been the strongest in terms of activity and interplay we’ve seen in a few years, so it is good to see. Now how that shakes going forward, well, we’ll have to see.[/quote] Im of the "I could go either way" catagory. Honestly, its nice solitairing with people watching and leaving feedback as well as giving feedback on other peoples solitairing. But at the same time, i do like the interactiveness. Makes the world feel bigger. Honestly, its one of the reasons i wanted to bring the Lanterns idea into this. After my first post, there's gonna be 5 rings zipping around Earth, grabbing random people and raising hell. In fact, before Wraith left, i was gonna ask him if he wanted to collab on one of the Luthors getting grabbed by the Orange ring. Point is, if anyone wants to do any story where one of their characters gets grabbed by a ring, i not only endorse but actively encourage it. Makes the world feel bigger.
