What am I supposed to do if no one gives me the time of day to interact with me?

It doesn't matter how much I'm around, and I have been around for everything, even the in-between stuff, if no one interacts with me.

I don't see how this is my fault for being "lazy."

I never called you lazy or implied it. I said you were absent. There is a big difference.

Christ, I don't know. This whole thing has been one big clusterfuck and I need to get dinner out of the oven before it catches fire. See you in fifteen minutes.

You said I needed to expand the effort to go halfway.

That is calling me lazy.

I said you needed to meet me halfway and that you were not available to post. Do not put words in my mouth.

I am going to eat dinner and come back later because arguing online is not how I want to spend my one day off.

Back.

I'm gonna level with you, I have no idea what's going on anymore. I'm just barely keeping this thing going, I'm not sure who's who half the time, and you've all seen how good I am at handling more than one character at once.

Well.

I'm gonna be honest.

It kinda feels really bad if the gm straight up admits that they are willing to leave you in the cold to keep the thing rolling.

Kay from what I'm seeing here both parties are accusing each other of not coming halfway.

And because of that no one's coming halfway.

So.

Spaz you can make a bit more of an effort to get Atlas involved. We can afford to slow down the plot just a bit after this.

And Ram, from what I've seen you can definitely get a bit more active with Atlas. Spaz, and GM's in general, can't do much with a character that's really really passive.

I think we all need to remember here that R Ping is a cooperative effort, and both sides have to give a little to make it work.

I have done things to make Atlas active.

And the one big time I tried it, I was roundly ignored.

Granted, that's not Spaz's fault.

But it's still very discouraging.

Hey guys, I'm back.

Gonna reread this discussion to help out, unless someone has a recap.

Some speak about love in a sweet way
Enchantment, romance and dizzy dream states
And some just wait and pace their cage

Some speak about love as a passion
As rapture and cries and sighs and gasps and
Some resign to yearn inside

These odes of tear stained banter and dew eyed candor
That wither in the world, the world that
Just deceives you and beats and bleeds you
And leaves lonely little girls
And some sacrifice, anyway
Some sacrifice, it all away
Ah, the fallen and the burdened and the wreaths upon their grave
When they’re broken there’s no assurance they made a better place

Dhsdf awake for a bit.

Will do this. I just need a period where I can get my bearings and get a good pace going. This starting and stopping is not helping matters.

Starting a new save file after doing the hundred thing with my last party. New party consists of (bold means active party members):

  • Sneasel
  • Jolteon
  • Delibird
  • Dewgong
  • Jirachi
  • Deoxys

Do I pick Treecko, Mudkip, or Torchic for the brief period where I'll kinda use them and stick them in the PC when my party starts filling out?

Sounds good.

Then again, I'm judging these pokemon soley by how cool their names are.

I've also reread the discussion. I'm agreeing with Jam here, with a bit of elaboration.

This rp has had a lot of strains and false-starts and awkwardness, and people have fallen through the cracks despite Spaz's best efforts. Both the players and the gm have left each other in the lurch quite a few times because of the "snail to lightning" pace we've adopted, as well as the fact that, face it, a lot of our lives have gotten busier.

All of these execution problems can be overcome, and it will require effort from all of us. Please don't take this as me implying that effort has not been expended, and I am well aware of what has gone on both in the rp and our time outside it, but we need to step back and re-evaluate how we're going to handle this rp. Perhaps a co-gm to help when Spaz is preoccupied and to deepen the narrative when she is also available. Perhaps specifically allocated times where the rp is moving, and anyone in the fg drops it and gives the rp full attention until the session is over.

I don't know. Maybe the way we're doing it now is still tenable, provided we all find ways to keep up the focus and motivation. I've been feeling it sapped away from me every week that goes by with such little progress and interaction.

These rps are a joint effort, is pretty much my point.

Also, I love the new Homestuck update.

Caliborn liking fedoras fits his character so well.

I am actually the co-gm btw. Though I've refrained from doing any actual storytelling as this is Spaz's setting.

Mostly I've just secretly helping the plot along.
