No offense Cobalt, but I am thinking it might be time for you to kind of hang up your hat on creating games. You didn't have enough time for the last one, so you shut it down, and now you're creating another within a year? Not to mention the half dozen or so staff positions on other games you've phased out of.

Hey @magee101 , are you and @Cobaltasaurus friends? I'm guessing no, since you'd likely have put this personal, 'caring' advice into a private message.

So really, what was the point then? Why not just NOT POST? And not play and not volunteer? How does it hurt you that she is creating a new game?

If you have to preface your post with 'No offense', you know you're being an asshole.

No offense, but really, fuck off.

@icanbeyourmuse I feel your pain. I hate imposing, or forcing myself into RP, it makes me uncomfortable and certain that I'm intruding. Even with people that I am friends with somewhat outside of that particular game, I still am super careful.

The issue is, that can come across as stand offish, or like you don't actually want to be included. Or worse, passive aggressive. And even knowing all that, it's still a struggle to invite yourself in! Totally.

Past tense: Maybe it's habit or something the other player prefers. Habits can be awfully hard to break, and if that's how they learned to RP, even more so.

It's probably not about the other players... Thinking it is is a rather silly thing, how many people could entirely consistently change something that dramatic about their RP style just to mess with others? And why would they? That's some determined bullshit right there. People should either get over it if the RP is otherwise fun or just avoid playing with that person if it's just too much for their brains to handle.

F*ck They

@Thenomain This may be a silly question, but could you not build an escape into the program? IE: using say ` , as in 'p wiz=Help, I'm lost! would actually page? Or is it impossible to have an escape there?

I would be interested!

@HelloRaptor I hate you for hurting my brain like that. Hate you.
