What Space said. Everyone take a few minutes to reflect on whether they are dealing with this situation maturely or not.

What if there’s no better word than just not saying anything?

I tried to do something about that here.

Okay, good. A better way to have brought this up would have been to say "Guys, Ramuf just dropped his characters out, I think he's feeling neglected, what should we do?"

What Norm said. That would have averted the other discussion that we are having now, which is not about that problem.

But then you wouldn't have been able to actually assess the problem on your own. And that leads to it not being fixed.

We always talk about these problems, and then do jack shit after.

Some of us wouldn't figure out the problem. That's the problem with being too vague.

To be fair, if you only say that something's bothering you, but don't give any hint of what it is, then it's going to be hard for people to have a discussion about it.

So you decided the best way to resolve it was to be deliberately obtuse. Can you see the problem here?

By that logic, Trip, why did you bother saying anything?

Not to imply that this is not worth discussing, which it is, but what you did has caused us to turn our attention away from that issue and towards you making vague, angry statements.

Look, just tell us what the problem is before you tell us to fix it next time. That's the main thing that can be taken away from this. Also [up].

All I fucking do is drop drama bombs every direction and cause problems. I wouldn't be surprised if I was on the fence by now, to be honest.

You're not, but you really need to curb this behavior.

If it's cool to move on now: why is this still an issue? Is everyone else just too wrapped-up or what?

One thing we all agreed on recently is that we need to be transparent, direct and honest when we have a problem. And we need to curtail the passive aggression.

If I'm still around after all the drama and trouble I've caused, I don't think you're on the fence at all.

Everyone says they'll interact with Julie and/or Tallis, but then don't actually do it. I'm not sure why this is still a thing, since people are aware of it by now. People are busy with things, sure, but even then they tend to go for other people anyways????????

What Space and Eldy said. It might be worth it to examine how this happens and try to address it from there.

Like, how do people usually pair off? Are we slipping into the cloistered deal where we have at most two other players that we interact with? I recall that happening many pages ago, and it might be happening again.

I try to simply pair up with whoever happens to be in the main room at the time. Might have slipped into a clique of players, but I dunno.

See, what you're describing happened about a year or so ago, where everyone just settled into little groups of familiar characters/players and didn't interact much with people outside of the mini circles. Not saying that's always a bad thing, since there's such a thing as player chemistry, but it's certainly pretty exclusionary if it happens all the damn time.

Guys, c'mon. I'm not meaning to be impatient, but this is pretty important here.

Sometimes I RP a couple of posts of Homura or Sayaka doing things on their own if I'm just fishing for interaction - gives them a bit of characterization and also sort of bumps them to the forefront like, "Hey, I'm here."
