I started ATLA late, around Covid. But I love the first series and think TLoK is pretty good despite some problems

I never notice someone's post count until I see (ignore post count) and then I totally look at it, out of habit and curiosity.

Current Projects/Freelance work
- I am a voice talent and script writer for Faerun History
- I have a much smaller personal Youtube channel that I use to make videos on various subjects. Only been making videos for 2 years, but it's growing!
- I'm the host of a Science Fiction & Fantasy Podcast where I interview authors of the genre.
Interests (Includes but is not limited to)
- Writing/Reading (Love writing and I own too many books)
- Video Games (Been a gamer for close to 23 years now)
- Working Out/Martial Arts (Wing Chun/Oyama Karate mostly. Some historical swordplay as well.)
- History (Military History is my specialty)
- Zoology
- Art (Mostly Illustrations. Used to be good. Am picking it back up)
- Voice Acting/Singing
- Tabletop Gaming (Started late in the game. Been at it for 3 years. I was the kid who bought the monster manuals and D&D books just for the lore for the longest time. I've played 3.5e, 5e, Star Wars D20, Edge of the Empire, PF, and PF2.)
- Weaponry of all kinds
- Anime (mostly action/shonen. DBZ & YYH being my favorites)
- Movies (Action/War/Drama films being my go-to)
- Music (Rock of all kinds, as well as historical folk songs, sea shanties, pub songs, a bit of classical music, etc)
- Guitar (am learning to play, but being left handed makes it challenging)
- There's more but if you care enough you can PM me :P
Roleplay F.A.Q.
- Fantasy, Sci Fi, and Historical are my genres. Fantasy being my favorite and Sci Fi/Historical being close seconds.
- Advanced / Nation / 1x1 / Casual (only in certain circumstances)
- I generally write at the 'Advanced Level' meaning 4+ Paragraphs with good grammar.
- I am usually busy with many projects and RPs, but if you wish to do a 1x1 with me, you'll need to present your case. Those I already do it with have my trust as a Roleplayer.
- I love many, many fictional universes so me trying to list them all is an effort in futility!

I have very high IQ, actually. The highest around. Ask everyone, I'm a genius savant.
Yo Biggie Smalls, I said no shit posting
The staff there don't understand how emotionally frustrating that is as they have sticks up their asses and they abuse their power while not wanting to understand the side of anyone's story, they just jump on someone willy-nilly without taking a damn thing into account. Staff is supposed to be fair, not power hungry corrupt excuses of their title!
Ok, I know I haven't been doing great by setting an example, but we do need to either discuss or not post. I apologize for my own shit posting. But this is Bango's thread and we need to respect that, and even if we don't agree with Reborn, it is not right to insult or mock him.
Look, the way you get roleplaying partners is to just be really, really good looking. Worked wonders for me so far.
Amal coughed a bit, a small bit of his cloak around his face now, making him seem even more the bandit. He strode over to the fallen Wightking and plucked the crown out of its dead hand. He couldn't help but marvel at it like Emmaline had, but he spared no time in sliding it onto his arm and going to check on Emmaline, wiping her face of dust gently and picking her up in his arms with even more care.
"Ah my-" she coughed again. "My handsome assistant."
"Let's get out of here." He said, concern in his voice. But she tugged at his hair, whispering 'don't leave the chest' in his ear, hoarsely. He snorted, which turned into a full blown laugh. "You were always the smart one..."
The next day they made it to Suderburg with their loot, which, not counting the loot they already had from their previous adventures, was the bejeweled crown, four meters of silk, a brass teacup of ancient design, a broken arming sword with gold filigree and faded runes, and an odd, ruby amulet. The two had stuck the items in whatever sacks they could find amid the broken ruins of the Howling Hills, and kept it safe and secret among their belongings. Once or twice, the two thought they saw horsemen that looked like they might be working for whatever new authority that was in Delbertz, and so they never stayed the night at any inn. They kept walking, sleeping near the road under the trees and buying food from passing merchants before they hit a large river.
"Is this...?" Emmaline breathed, removing her hood for the first time in two days. Her hair shined like gold in the sunlight of the fading day. Amal removed his hood as well, a blanket of dark hair almost like fur covering his chin and upper lip. There were two things that never ceased to amaze him. The beauty of his woman and the sight of a flowing river in the midst of vast green. "It's the river Talabec. Which means Altdorf is just past these trees."
"Altdorf?" Amal said. Such strange names, these northern cities. "Is that a big city?"
She nodded. "It's the capital of my entire country." The woman informed him jubilantly. She stretched, and suddenly let out a groan when she felt the strain on her muscles from the constant walking they had endured. "We can find a seller for some of our treasures here, but we must be careful." Her words were tight as she placed her hands on her back, the comforts of a bed on her mind. "The law here is very strict."
"Will they take your tongue if you look at a magistrates clothed daughter?"
"Not if you merely look in her direction." She said meekly.
"I think we can handle it, then."

Well I don't understand it other than them getting people's hopes up only to bail on others that have it happened to me. I don't think it is melodramatic or off-putting because I am tired of having it happen to me time and time again as I want my fair shot but only to get shafted. I disagree with Fleder [nothing against you].
I am not going to stop roleplaying. I feel that would be giving to what everyone is telling me what to do when it comes to this as it feels like no one gets my side you know? I think I can never be happy and that eludes me in other areas as I feel I have no choice but to continue pushing desperately just to be understood and even to have my side looked at while wanting a fair shot. I am tired of just having the tablecloth constantly yanked out from under me because I am trying to get a fair shot like everyone else on an uneven playing field.
Happiness for me is basically a mirage like even a good RP even if I post an IC, I'll never obtain what any of you guys got. Good luck and consistent interest is in the same realms as a mirage no matter what I do. I don't have the options of everyone else as they got it better than me.
Ok, so your answer is, is that you want to keep roleplaying even though you're not happy doing it, and no one understands you. Okie dokie, you can certainly do that and more power to you. But you're going to have to halt complaining. Literally the entire site has heard you and no one agrees with you, which empirically and rationally means that you're incorrect. You're gonna have to suck it up and be the best you can be.
Granted, I cannot keep you from complaining as a mod. However, if it gets to the point where it is insulting or you cause drama, I'll need to halt it. And if it continues, I'll need to halt it more drastically.
Reborn, I'm going to be real.
You should just stop roleplaying. Not because you're bad at it, or because you don't deserve to do it. But clearly it does not make you happy. I'd look for something that does, but clearly no one has given an answer you like in the three years you've been doing this so.

why
When I see others who are younger than me and are already published/an adjunct, do I mope? Do i hang my head and cry??? POOHEAD's probably younger than me and he has several books published.
Actually I am 29, but I do appreciate it. Also I have one indie published book, but I do have one work under contract and am hoping to get another very soon! @BangoSkank
But, they are right. There's PLENTY of writers that are more successful than me. I barely have my foot in the door. But hey, honestly the fact that I'm not well known yet gives me drive. It doesn't make me feel inadequate.
