I feel weird at times having an opinion. I don't think anyone would remember a character I could name, I always felt unimportant. Never seen/never heard, or if I was forgotten soon.
Maybe that's they way I play. Maybe I sell myself short. I dunno.
But I do watch, I do listen, and those rare times that a good role player engages with me... man is it awesome. Man does it feel good.
See its upsetting some days, because I know the good ones exist, I know bad players use to be good. I know they exist, I know a good part of the player base... are given the right moments... FUCKING AWESOME. Hell even staff have these wonderful moments, these beautifully thought out idea's, the intrigue can some times be so distracting you forget you're suppose to be a no nothing commoner. sometimes, I feel its ok to use a bit of that OOC knowledge, or just get a little bit out of character, because maybe one player is on something and you want to engage... and rare when those three moons are just right... the staff gets involved and does it right. Oh my lord is it good, its like literary sex and fine wine delivered via telnet. You ignore your OOC functions like food and bladder just because you can't wait to see is going to scroll on that monitor.
It's rare... maybe increasingly, but ITS SO DAMN GOOD when its there. I think that's the beating heart of it all, the place where this game, this board, and the GDB intersects and its something we all agree we want more of. All the other bullshit stems on how to get there.
To me it's the saddest thing that this board HAS to exist. Strangely nothing I've learned here took away from my experience, my experiences, my future experiences, it's only ever added to them. It's allowed me to view some things eyes wide open, it if anything, I think deep down, makes even the most bitter players still want more.
We all remember the first scene that sticks with us
We all remember that one plot
We all have that one dream, that when you wake up, you can still feel the Krath and taste the sand.
It's something that we all share, shared, and in many ways wish we could get sharing more of.
It truly bothers me, the conditions outside of the game mostly, the OOC bullshit that seems to never end. In the end I don't think we need some staff members head or some complete re-work the game. Or some players to banned, or any of that bullshit. 99% of us are adults, Smart ones at that. (Jokes/insults aside)
We all want the same thing, deep down. We want Zalanthas, in its dark, gritty, unforgiving glory.
We all want those players that made it so enjoyable back.
We all want just another scene, another plot, those ones that almost scarily make us make OOC sacrifices to be apart of.
I just don't get it some days, We all kind love Armageddon, I kind of wish we could reconcile the differences, bring back the good old, keep the good new and leave all that OOC drama and bullshit in the past and just FUCKING PLAY.
Also I keep thinking, I wish I kept logs. But I think a young Quick robbed me in the Rinth... it was fun scene... I wish I could replay that one just one more time.
OR that character I played EVERYONE thought was a magicker, shit was funny, and I could tell the ones with detect magic, cause they stop, stare... a moment silence... and then a slow head shake. I think I might entertained a few people on that one. Ahhh the good old days when I could play for hours.
