I'm in class right now, so I'm gonna have to leave right after I say this, but here's an observation. I'm hopped up on coffee and nervous about school, so I hope I'm not being insensitive or mean by pointing this out. It's just what I have personally gleaned from this situation, and I may well be ass-backwards here.
In these most recent incidents, you're coming online at times/days of the week where there are, like, 5 people tops. It's more difficult to get shit going at these times, because well, the pools are smaller, and you don't have as much stuff to choose from. I'm aware that you're in a different timezone than I am, and these times might be better for you, but that's the way things pan out. People are away a lot, and the FG either dies or goes trickling by with 3-5 posters for a while.
It looks to me (unless I'm missing something crucial) like you've been getting a decent amount of action in the past few days when people were online, and it simply seems like these last two times have just a matter of hitting a threadwide slog. Now, I'm more than glad to help you out here, and I sure as shit don't want you to feel ignored or left out or any of that, because that sucks, but this, to me, looks like less a matter of being ignored and more a matter of getting in at a slow hour, and I don't think anyone can fix that.
I've run into this problem myself. I make a post, there's all of three people online and they're with each other (because that's all they had), and nobody responds. I make another post; "hey, I'm still here", still nothing.
I know how you feel here. It deflates me and makes me think, "Shit, maybe I'm doing something wrong". However, the fact of the matter is that there's a tiny-ass pool of people available, and it's hard to get in without shaking something up a little. If I'm not feeling like doing that, and I'd rather go at it passively, I wait until there are more posters online.
I say this knowing that I have the luxury to do this at times, and that this might not be an option for you. I'm really sorry, and I know it sucks. I wish there was something we could do, but there's really not much helping this. If you have things going on, I'm always willing to listen if that's what you'd like to do. If you'd rather not, that's fine as well. I'd like to help any way I can, but I don't think this is a matter of being ignored, and I'm sorry if it is and I'm mistaken.

make it through this year if it kills you yet | 2001-2019This isn't something that I want to go unknown and unexplained any longer. However, I want to preserve my own privacy and not smear my it around in public.
I want to explain this, but I can't do it where everyone can see it. I'd prefer to do it privately.
That's the end of what I've got to say.
And then Mobile posted while I was typing this. I appreciate what you said, but that's not the issue.
No, please don't be sorry about this. You didn't do a single thing wrong. Maybe I'm just in such a horrible way right now that I couldn't word something delicately to save my life, but I don't want you to think that I'm mad at you. I'm not. I never have been.
The fact that you said anything at all is more than enough.
I can't really add much to what the others have said by now, but I will say this.
Ram, if you don't do anything else please stop typing "-Fucks off-" when you decide to leave because you got no interaction. Its not fair to the other players. If you want interaction you have to come halfway and make your characters notable. Typing "-Fucks off-" and leaving without trying to interact is like blaming other people for your lack of interaction. And it really is not their fault.
PM box is Closed, Indefinitely Friend Code: 3368-4181-6850i just heard a weird sorry about myself
so apparently a teacher saw me in a store near my school while school was in session
she asks me what I'm doing there and I just run back to school
now
I don't remember this happening
but it sounds exactly like something I'd do
I live in a constant state of fear and misery.

To what Seer said, not the fg.
None of the reasons for any of this are going to make a lick of sense. And I don't want to say them in public.
