I didn't say that it did. I was always stubborn and lazy. I think it amounts more to maturity than it really does to experience. Back when I started out, I was just a little kid. Back then, I lived for the games - both RPs and actual, you know, videogames. Now I'm adult with kids of my own and this is something I do when I have a moment to spare. Sometimes, that amounts to several (OOC) posts a day. Other times, it means I disappear for a week or two because I just don't have the time to spend on something that actually consumes as much time as roleplaying can. I think that's the difference. I really understand now, that people have lives and roleplay on the side, instead of having a life on the side of their roleplaying.

.:EDIT:.
Oh, and I dislike A's entire concept, which makes his relatively small part in the series irrelevant. I dislike the character, not his role.

@The Mad Hatter

Fair enough, but I get suspicious about people just dropping off the face of the Earth. For a lot of things there's not going to be something outright preventing a heads-up--and that's not an intensive task.

... how can you dislike ninja wrestling?

It's because of trolls that I don't get involved in discussions like that.

Perhaps. I think I'd more likely say I'm too stubborn and lazy to keep applying for RPs that just go belly up right away. As mentioned, I've been doing this for 15 years. That's a long time. I've grown tired of starting over all the time, so I fan the flames of a dying fire rather than just building a new one.
Besides, I don't think a few days is a long time. I'm sometimes gone for weeks and none of my usual comrades (like Halvtand) bats an eye at it 'cause they know I'll eventually return and get right back into it.

@The Mad Hatter

I'm not sure that the length of time you've been roleplaying directly translates to stubbornness, unless there's some magical difference between ten years and fifteen. XD

People vanishing for weeks at a time is something rather concerning.

Anyhow, I'm baffled that your least favourite character is A, of all people. Pretty minor role, all things considered.

Humble Beginnings: A Naruto RP

I think you're more optimistic about people vanishing right after getting a thread up than I am.

Also, your daily reminder that singular they is a valid gender-neutral pronoun. xD

@Halvtand TL;DR. Sorry, but I've never seen anything good out of someone replying to every sentence with a paragraph. But for the last part 'is it close enough': kaiten. Yes. Of course it's close enough when you have one of the exact techniques.

@The Mad Hatter Hinata for favourite, Sasuke for least favourite. Closely followed by Sakura. Terribly written useless lumps, the pair of 'em.

Though I'm not sure that keeping the OOC going is going to help when the GM hasn't been on in over two days now.

@Halvtand The kaiten on its own is a pretty good reason to learn it over most other forms, and it's a martial arts style that lets you do massive damage with a touch. I'm just saying that if it's something that can be copied, derivatives would presumably exist in more than one place. And... well, it just seems bizarrely unlikely that the defector would be a Hyuuga, then have the rest of the family do nothing about it. The rest of the family, mind, apparently letting either some sort of genius go or the main branch--since, hey, Kaiten isn't part of the basics. And then this advanced part is perfectly copiable? It's a really convoluted train of thought for one ability. @_@

Also I do worry about having a character with some sort of familial obligation to kill a genin. That's just awkward. xD

... and why on Earth would the Hyuuga teach someone else anything with how concerned they are about their eyes being stolen? Particularly someone outside the village? It seems... I dunno, odd. And if it was replicable, then the Gentle Fist would be a lot more common--ability to close tenketsu or not, internal organ damage at a touch is monstrous.

Well, we know the most popular rank here.

@Halvtand I think you went too far into the technical as opposed to the practical 'how often does the end user check it'. And Discord's scrolling with new messages is a great way to maybe miss something. xD
