Laugh Live Love

The things we asked for and tried to correct and suggest were for the betterment of the rp itself. It's not because we're bitches. It's not because we wanted things done our way. It's because we could see what was lacking and what needed to change to keep this going and it wasn't happening. You guys wouldn't listen.

We've posted time and time and time AND TIME again to include everyone. Yet still nearly daily we were getting complaints that people were getting ignored and we could see it. People that magically get on when their ship partner does and replies to them and no one else. People who put up starters and only reply to one or two people once or twice before focusing on just their ship partner. People who pick and choose who they reply to from all the replies on their starter. People who take several hiatus' post a starter and leave again. Look at the dash two pages ago. 90% of it is texts between characters that none of us can reply to and just have to sit and stare at. The same people end up talking to just each other and sure, some of that is time zones but when 9 people are on and only 3 different conversations are happening - well, something's fishy there.

And to be fair, starters that literally had no or one way to reply to it are partially to blame as well you have to put some effort into thinking about your starters.

Where will this take me? How can people reply? Will it help my character reach a plot development? Will it open itself to a para or chatzy?

Role plays shouldn't be rapid fire one liners about mundane shit (that's a big reason this rp died).

Which brings me to plot development. Roleplaying goes so far beyond shipping but you couldn't tell it by looking at our dash. But let's talk shipping a moment - what happened to crushes? First dates? Second dates? Does he like me, does he not, do i wear the red dress or the blue? There was so much that could be roleplayed out and made interesting and given you actual foundations for your ships that was entirely skipped over in favor of 'i love you's and he's perfect and i'm so happy'. Why are you happy? You just are 'cause you've got a guy. Or girl. Why didn't you ask your best friend or brother or sister to help you pick out your date outfit, or ideas to go for a date? Did you call your Mum? Are you excited? Nervous?

I don't know why more of you aren't frustrated as hell.

We'd try to give you ways and suggestions and opportunities to shake things up, to give you avenues to interact with people outside your cliques and they'd get bitched about ic and ooc.

It's honestly gotten to a point where what we're putting it isn't being given back to us and it's time we just parted ways.

I'm sorry for the ships we sank and I'm sorry you guys are sad and surprised, but I want more than this from a rp. I want you to want more than this from a rp.
