Well this is a fine pickle now isn't it?
Before I get into my two cents, I'll shoulder my part of the blame and trudge along like a happy little soldier. Yes, I'm a bitch, but you know, I wasn't taught how to say "Fuck you" politely. Moving along- I apologize for the no-shows. I should have messaged A-Kis letting him know that I wouldn't be able to rp this week as I was performing the duties of the married woman, staying barefoot in the kitchen, minus the pregnancy, as well as performing the durties of a student and studying my ass of for a test I refuse to fail again.
My problem is that I tend to think I can do too much. So when I think "Can I rp next week, do the cooking for Thanksgiving, and study?" my answer is usually "Hell yes." I don't like saying I can't do something, but for the Fed's sake I'll try to be more realistic and do what needs doing. I'm sorry I've let you guys down.
Again, moving on...
On the topic of our sticking together (Cov/GT/S&B), I agree with what Ad and R! have put forth, however in some ways I think we may be part of the problem. I can't speak of a decade of experience, I'm still a newb at this compared to many of you guys here. I'm still learning. So yeah, being a newb I tend to stick with the guys I've known from my beginnings and that's those groups. I know their characters and I can easily see stories from them. So again, I may be part of the problem, but I don't think I've been inaccessible. I'm easily contacted and usually up for a good story or rp or whatnot. Just hit me up. But yeah, it does seem like we're just like flies to be swatted at when we get mixed in with the regular roster. I don't think it's intentional, just that we are each more comfortable rp'ing with certain people. Does that comfort zone need to be broken? Fuck yes it does.
I know this is all over the place, but kindly bear with me, I'm running off of 6 hours sleep over the past few days and I'm seeing power point presentations when I blink.
To be honest, I'm here to tell a story. I don't really give two shits about wins or losses as long as the story is there. But it does get a bit amusing to be able to pick before rp's even go out who will likely win. Sure, there's a shock in there occasionally, but for the most part I wish I was as accurate with lotto picks. No, I'm not whining. It is what it is. I'm thinking a huge shake-up is in order, I just haven't figured out how it would work. Maybe when my brain starts working again I will and I'll pitch my idea to Rob or hell, put it before the entire Fed. There's an interesting prospect.
We have some great rp'ers here and real potential for some awesome as hell shows, rp's, and whatnot. We just need to stir the pot a bit. And by stir the pot, I mean to mingle the ingredients that keep separating. If there's interest in the storylines, the no shows will stop, unless there is some hindering RL problem which does happen to even the best of us. We work together, fix this, and move on and we'll be better than ever. We don't and we just sit here having these convos every so often. It's a new year coming up and we have a leader who is open to suggestions. Let's start suggesting
And now that I feel like my brain's on a tilt-a-whirl ride and I've jumped all over the place and can barely remember what I've just written, I'm going to end this little addition to the debate. Piece it together as it makes sense to you, and I apologize for how distracted it seems.
