I have a few questions. If you're sick of powers and just want tech, doesn't that mean that you're sick of ours too? And how do you plan to scale technology up to be able to compete with super powers? Overall, I'm really sorry, but I just cannot go to tech based myself. I'm fantasy-adventure, not sci-fi (even though scientific accuracy is a rule of sorts). I don't think you should make up your mind until it's totally settled.

I was thinking I was just going to get goodnights, but I will answer these questions before passing out.
No, I'm not sick of y'alls' characters' powers because I don't use them, and therefore they don't really bother me when it comes to refreshing my own experience.
Sven's suit alone was on par with my mid-level characters. And even then, I never said I wanted to be on par with superpowers.
I'm more sci-fi-adventure.
I've thought about this for longer than you think, probably.

I can't either.We've all changed, and for the better. We've matured, accepted who we are, become better writers, discovered the paths to our futures. But in other ways, we've changed for the worse. I've lost a lot of passion and emotion for a lot of things in life, and have become largely apathetic because of how terrible this world is. I'll just leave it at my own flaws. But with that being said, we still love you, even if you're different. I'm not the same David that had to be in total control, and had to have every single person accept and believe that I was smarter than them. You're not the same Jacob that sat on the sidelines and watched a lot of things, as well as other changes. But even as we change, our products change as well. I agree that it doesn't hold the weight that it did back on ifunny, and I have some theories of why. But before any of that, I'd like to know what you think could adapt to fix any of this. Because I've done all I can. I've introduced the What-If Rifts that allow us to change the scope of the RP 100%, and even hinted at other groups if you wanted an entirely new experience. So now I can't do anything without you helping me. What needs to be changed?

Nonono. A large portion of what I'm trying to get at here is that I am sick of all of my characters. In fact, they all bore me now. I want to transition over to being all tech, no powers. And I don't want the same cast. Nothing is wrong with you, or this, or anything. I just need to renovate. I've made my mind up on this, so now I'm just gonna alter a few things on that plot I've told you all so much about. Also, I need to sleep now, so goodnight you two.

There must be some way to fix that.

I know of a couple. And since we're not doing a complete reboot, and I am absolutely not quitting, I can simply do a personal reset.

Than what changed? I just want to keep everyone enjoying this. But regardless, if you can't identify the issue, then there's no correction. Pinkie said that it was because there was no longer any true leader; that I had stepped down from the throne. I didn't accept that, but what do you think?I'm aware I sound very cold and distant right now, but in reality, I have every emotion in the world swirling around in my heart.

Me. I'm what changed. Ever since OOC became a thing here, I've kept you all pretty well infirmed on the bigger events in my life. I am not anywhere near the Jacob I was when this thing started. I am not anywhere near the Jacob that was here with you all at the old guild. I am me, now. And me now just can't find the same level of enjoyment in this anymore. Now, please understand, I still love this RP loads, but the Golden Days have passed.

I don't know how to respond. I personally have invested 100% of my free time and emotion into this, so I don't really have anything else to go to. Although, I don't really get that vibe at all. I'm all for a reboot, as in reamping it up again, but I just can't part with these characters. Like I've said before, whenever I make one, I added a piece of myself, so they're all a part of me. Even if this totally shut down, they'd still be a piece of my heart and mind.

I created my characters to resemble me or a part of me. Heck, Sven was created to be me initially. But parts of me have died off and gone away over the past two years, and now the reasons I created so many characters are now all dead as well. I've changed so much and so frequently that I've lost all attachment to this RP now. But the old MR, as in Oldguild and iFunny, will always hold a place in my memory... And this new MR just isn't the MR that will sit there along with it and you guys.

No. Why, do you want to?

No. I'm wholly against the first suggestion.

I just have a feeling that this one has lost its initial flare, and we've all filled it with clichés and repititions of our own. I can predict patterns in just about every plot, and even almost completely accurately when a new character is going to be introduced to "spice things up again". But when you add too much apice to a dish, it loses it's original flare. I love this RP and all, but I'm almost out of motivation to keep it going with any effort on my part. I miss the way it used to be. A complex idea with complex plots, simple characters with simple powers, and not 100+ characters to boot. It just feels like it isn't the MR i came to love, but rather something I find that I use to bide my time with. And it also makes me feel bad, because I know you all love it, even now, probably much more than I do. But that's just how I feel.

Have you all ever considered resetting Myriad Reality, or doing a completely different RP with all of us in it?

A serious question for everyone.

Leo twitched at Tug's words before cracking her knuckles. the blue soldier growled. Ajax pointed out. Leo growled.

Tug rubbed the back of his head. "Ehh... So do I shut up, or go talk on the radio?" Tug asked, confused.
"Umm... Tug... I'd just go." Raph said, suggesting he go before Leo lost her temper again.
"Okay then." Tug walked into the base.
"Hmm... So," Raph said, "Now what?"
