I don't know about Eskay's situation, but mine is my own fault. And I've gotten far more chances than I really should have gotten anyways.

I have 3 casusal jobs, which helps with my lavish and expensive tastes.

I'm having to learn to pay the price

I have one casual job, but I had a full-time one last summer, and my general non-need to spend money means that it collects a decent amount of interest.

Never had a job, unless you can count a paid intership back when I was 18 as one. I am really good at saving my money though.

So... I'm still considering quitting the RP, and... Well, I'm thinking it might be the right thing for me to do. You guys haven't done anything wrong, so don't worry about that. It's just that... I think it might be best for the sake of my health to quit, since it might among other things help me get a normal sleep schedule again. (plus, it would be easier to help my mother who has been trying to stop using sleep medication if I had a normal sleep schedule)

I had things I wanted to do, but... I just can't figure out how I'm supposed to get it done at this point. I feel bad about potentially leaving several plot points unresolved and things like that, but... I just think it might be better this way. Not necessarily for the RP, but for me.

Besides, it's not like I've contributed anything big for the RP in a while, so nothing of real value would be lost, right?

-hugs DS- Whatever you decide, just know that I love you as a friend, and I'm here if you ever need anyone to talk to. (Like I had in my sig for a while, my PM box is always open to those who need someone to talk with for anything)

-also hugs-

It would be nice if you didn't quit, but if you think that quitting it is the healthiest option, nobody will stop you...we'll still be your friends though (or at least I'd like to be), and you are always welcome back.

sad

I understand why you feel this is the right thing to do, and I feel very selfish for saying this, but...please don't leave.

At least...please don't leave yet. Just...take a break, for a while. Leave for a couple weeks, to recharge your batteries, and see how you feel after that.

You are the value. You are what you contribute. Every time I see your name on my watch list, I perk up. You have no idea how much you would be missed if you left.

So...just take a break, and/or cut back. You don't have to be here all the time, and you don't have to cut yourself off completely. It's okay to look after yourself, and still be around.

[up] Pretty much everything I could want to say...

But might as well say a little more.

If you SERIOUSLY need to leave for your health, that's not a bad thing, but we would all VASTLY prefer you stay. Because you're good at this, and you're friendly and fun to be around, and if almost all the veterans of this RP leave it just won't be the same. Especially if you leave.

You just need to expand your horizons a little in-RP, interact with a wider variety of people. Hopefully that will bring some of the fun back. Alternatively, follow Wolf's advice and take a break.

If you MUST leave for good, please keep in touch somehow. We like having you around.

Because, quite simply, you're our friend.

Aww, thanks guys.

I'm glad you care about me so much, and I'd really like to be able to work something out, but... I don't know. I haven't really been R Ping as much as I used to due to a lack of ideas (or rather ideas for what to do when I can't use other ideas I have yet), and I've recently also been spending less time in the chat during the day. (since there aren't really a lot of people there until late afternoon or the evening, especially now that school has started again, plus, having less windows open when I'm not really using them might help keep the laptop from overheating)

And I have been wanting to interact with more people, but sine if the people I've been wanting to interact with never seem to be in the same area as my characters, or they're otherwise not available due to RL and stuff.

And while I know you guys have been trying whenever you can, I still feel as I've been getting very little help when I've asked for help, such as figuring out what to name certain characters and other things like that. And as far as I remember, I haven't even been able to get anyone's help figuring out the event that'll be the catalyst for Eli's Character Development.

I don't know... Maybe it would help to just cut down on my R Ping time even further without quitting or to take a real break, but part of me worries that doing so might just make the situation worse...

It won't make anything worse, I promise. If you want to interact with people who are elsewhere, all you have to do is say so, call them in-RP, and we'll go. Or you can go on your own, if you want. I really don't mean to tie you down anywhere.

And I'm sorry I haven't been more help with stuff. I really do try, but I'm not very good at these things. You're a far better writer than I could ever hope to be. smile

Wolf said pretty much everything I wanted to say up there. But if you do choose to quit, I think we'd all like for you stay incontact, whether it be through Social, email, or something else.

Also, I think you can probably take a break wihout consequence. We all need breaks sometimes.

Also, DS, if you need more people to interact with, I can have Lina hang out with you for a while after LOVE TRIANGLE DRAMAZ starts. Hopefully that will help.

[up][up][up] Thanks, Wolf. I appreciate that.

[up][up] Well, if you guys don't think there's any reason to worry, then I guess I might consider taking a break, then.

[up] Oh, sure!

So... Do anyone have any suggestions for what to name Anti!DS and her Gliscor? As you saw from one of my posts, I did go with "Proxy" for the Porygon-Z. I'm also not sure what other Pokemon Anti!DS might have on her team aside from those two.

#7817: Sep 20th 2012 at 2:30:40 PM

Maybe a tough, serious Feraligatr to be a foil to Goggles?

As for a name for Anti!DS, I thought of Ellen. Nothing real significant about it other than the fact that is has the same syllables as DS' real name.

And for some reason, the name Beatrix sticks out as something that could work for the Gliscor.

Straw: LN. Get it?

If that doesn't work, maybe PSP Goblet Destiny? It has the letters of Stine in it, in almost the same order, and it was DESTINED for them to meet.

This signature is empty. Nothing to see here.

I second Lillith and Ellen as possibilities for Anti!DS. Maybe the other one for the Gliscor.

So now I've graduated. ^_^

Which means more possible RP-time if I feel like it. And less personal stress.

Also, I vote Lillith as the Anti-DS name.

Congrats, Pent.

Congrats Pentigan, though depending on your workload that may change in the future.
