Was that app supposed to be some weird sort of joke? I'd be embarrassed to even type those things. Let alone let someone else see it.

@JinShei -

Someone: Lots of people don't like this thing that is happening. Two random people told me.
Me: What about the hundred others who didn't say anything so presumably like it or don't mind?
Someone: Yeah but these two people...

Would prefer 5 but couple hours, couple times a day, us all good.

But it needs have a point where it ends. 12 days RP with 50-odd poses on sipping tea? Probably can draw that one to a neat conclusion.

I don't think Ares and I get along. Tried a scene, entered it, got 1 pose in then the host closed it and private RPed with the other person. That made me think TS scenes were more important than general RP scenes, or meeting/helping new folk, to some of the playerbase.

Then I'd later log in, look around, and go... how do I scene with someone. Do I stand around and hope? Do I proactively join? How many poses in with an active scene is appropriate to join? Tried a bit of each, but to no luck.

Also having to rewrite a character application 4 times over several days was frustrating, especially as it was due to a either a lack of lore files, or a rule change in middle of writing the character sheet. Was happy roll with it, but that took out the initial wind in the sails.

But - I loved the need to detail out a flaw in the character. That felt good, nice balance, also the skill system was very easy to pick up. Process itself of making a character was simple, the application side that is.

My husband was bitten by a brown recluse spider right next to his dick.

I need more information on this bit. Like was he showing the spider it or did the spider look and go. Hey. Immma get you.

This clearly has nothing to do with Ares itself and more with the two people who you ended up trying to RP with.

You've taken one part of the quote there to apply that for Ares.

I mean saying, hey that system and I don't really play along too well is fine. Can't all like the same sytems.

Am I old or do we not wear collared shirts on dates anymore?

@wildbaboons

Height: taller than 1.80m

Cool, I'm also taller than 1.80m but am I like looking up or down at you?

Has my nightmare come true? The "Hearts and Minds" meeting at work has become sentient and found MU Soapboax.

Dunno if someone told me RPing online is like typing into DOS. I'd ask what DOS is.

@Tinuviel - Heh oops >_>

But, still, seems redundant to offer it as a choice to pick on character creation.

I'm sorry about that. The lack of lore is really important. If you can contact me about what lore files affected you, I can make sure that going forward that doesn't happen again.

So it was at the time when there wasn't the write-up that now exists on Command, which led to me needing to write up a whole new character. Then there was in the middle of writing up the new one, there was the yet-to-be-published rule on rank limitations. Which is fine, simple change on my end, just for me it was - ughh another thing I need to do?! How many hoops are there?? This one wasn't even a thing when I started!

I'm not sure if it has changed now on character generation, but for me, it wasn't too clear what each department did. What rank would be typical for what role and in what department. Also, options being listed that you couldn't pick - there can only be 1 Captain and I assumed that was military title of Captain rather than ship Captain that I would have thought was a much higher title.

I'm not saying you have to, but the way the entire comment was structured did not lead me to read it that way. @Sunny has expressed her incompatibility with Ares a lot; everyone's entitled to their preferences.

I'm not sure why what you're talking about would be a hindrance though. I don't know how long you tried; how many times; who the people in those scenes were; if you tried using the RP Requests channel; what time of the day you were on; or a host of other things.

I'm not saying you can't have had trouble even if you take all this into consideration, of course; maybe the game's playerbase doesn't jive with yours. I'm just not sure this is particularly an Ares problem. But if you need help figuring out the technical aspects of starting a scene and stuff, I can probably help and get you situated lickety-split.

For me, it's the variables. I don't have the RP confidence to go on an RP Request channel and say - "Hey, any random out there fancy a scene on tea tasting?" Just not how I've conducted RP, and I'll admit my hours aren't EST/USA friendly so already the player base numbers are lower. So the time of day would be a factor.

That said - what are the answers to the questions. Should I join a scene that is 6 days old and 70 poses in?

The thread is: "If you are someone who has left. Why." Part of it is those variable with a system that has many-many benefits for people out there. But just didn't gel with me.
