Anonmeme: I think I've worn out my welcome in the game I play in. Should I man up and stop being paranoid, or stop wasting my time and look for another game?
Not oP, but sometimes it's just something you can sense. People are less enthusiastic when they tag you, people who used to tag you a lot suddenly gradually stop or do so very infrequently, and when you do get someone to interact, it feel slike they're just trying to be nice. That's how it's always been for me, anyway.
I think I might know who are-- because you used the word "comm" and the description of the last post sounded familiar-- but I could be completely and totally wrong. It was a hypothetical question, wasn't i? With two choices? I know that I personally tend to look for questions outside the choices when I have a character answer a question like that, because it's a little boring to say "I agree with option 2" or "I agree with option 1." You want to have them say neither. You want to pull out answers outside of the script and argue. I don't think it was anything personal. Don't sweat it!
...Buuuuuuuut you might not be who I'm thinking of, in which case, this advice will be pretty useless. I'm not sure if anyone here would be able to give you advice, actually, without specifics. If your community does a sort of How Am I Driving post, you might want to ask people to voice their concerns if they have any.
I know it wasn't personal, definitely, but it's still discouraging and makes me think I'm definitely doing something wrong. I did try to argue whatever happened to come up, but I think I just came across as a moron instead. :/ My character did ICly, I mean. I know, whine more, etc., but it's better than making an RP!S.
And... I can give HMD it a try, I suppose, though I have my doubts. I dunno. I feel really... not exactly left out, but isolating myself all on my own, without intending to at all.
No, I doubt you're that obvious! Stars aligned, etc etc, and I'm kind of surprised I recognized it myself. I don't think I've interacted with your character yet, but I never thought "jeez, what a moron," and my brain can pretty harsh at times. Like I said, though, the question itself was a little restricting, which (if I had a character answer) would have made me search for something outside the question to say, e.g. "you must be trying to prove a point" or "this is too narrow, the answer is ___" or "and by hypothetical, you probably mean not hypothetical," etc. It wouldn't have given me any bad blood towards the player. (I also noticed that the alternative answer people gave kind of reflects their "job," so to speak *vague vague*, so it's all about striving for that
( ... )
Yeah this was on the last post and I was reading it over again, and saw that someone else was going to Fuyucon... only they'd posted back in August and I felt bad for not getting back to them somehow idk, i'm weird?
I really really want a particular castmate (and, yes, mostly because I ship that castmate/my character and would love to see how the relationship could unfold), but I don't want to be That Asshole Who Won't Shut Up About Her Ship. :/
