Something else I'd just like to add.  Nothing has happened that any character "has" to know about.  There's no one suddenly out there there that they "must" have heard of.  The world itself is a big place, and anything interesting you'll learn about in due time Smile

RE: Missed out and Unsure about how to interact with RPers anymore - Jezune - 09-03-2014

Whenever I RP I always feel like I'm boring the other person. Like my character's not interesting enough, or not enough dynamic is happening, or I'm being too one-dimensional. Basically I look at my writing in the worst light possible, and it sucks, and it makes me always wanna ditch RP to "save the other person." Even events I've orchestrated, I've thought that they were boring for everyone, to the point where I couldn't even enjoy them.

However, turns out a lot of people actually like Jezune as a character, and like RPing with me. Whether it's a product of my low self-esteem or something else, my assumptions were totally misguided. So it's safe to say that jumping in and just RPing would be the best option. Make connections by diving in head first! I started that way, at first forcing myself, but then it came a LOT easier. And I've made a ton of friends and am pretty much in the best FC ever.

Feel free to /tell me on FF if you see me!

Because I don't want to make a drama when I was not intentionally doing it >.< I really want an advice and some suggestions to hear multiple people's opinions on this than getting angry and have this thread closed.

I've been missing out since 2.2 and at least from 2.1 to 2.2, I have not done RP a lot due to end-games and Atma hunting and that drew me away from roleplaying most of the time. I went hiatus because I wanted to take a break, and I had no money to play the game financially during the time so that was additional few months. - A lot has changed with many people and people's interaction and their view on RP and OOCly have changed drastically and I felt extremely left out and unsure what I should do. 

I feel distant on some term, but it's not convincing enough for me to quit this game because I do like the game aside from RP. Though I need to kind of require myself to get involved  and be the one to be initiative and it just isn't easy at the moment since everyone seems to be doing their own things, such as they are already in a plot that they are progressing.

I am trying to go back into RP, but there are many things I've missed and I've been tracking everyone's Wiki and some IC forum thread to see what their plots are, but it's not easy for me to get into anyone's circle and be involved because I've been missing out and I am back to my "shy" version since I don't want to ruin it for anyone else.

I did make a Making Connection thread, hoping that it might actually push me to RP more frequently than ever. Should I require newer friends, I can do that too. However, any advice or suggestion would be great for me to get into other people's story or mine too.

Again, I am not trying to accuse anyone or choke anyone here for my isolation right now. I just need a better suggestion to resolve this, so I'd appreciate it if you'd really have the time to throw in some response to help me out here. Thanks!

EDIT: But if you want to criticize something and actually throw something in to actually make a point to say something I did wrong and I should correct, I won't be really defensive about it - but I'll gladly hear your opinion and we'll work something out whether you might have issues with me personally.

Welcome back mate! If you ever need an IC job that will provide contacts and links to various organizations as well as fun, spooky RP, seek out Gus and work for the Piquant Pumpkin!

There is nothing wrong with starting off small while getting back in the game. If you go Dark Knight Rises like Bruce Wayne, you'll end up with dislodged vertebrae and in the middle of some prison somewhere....

Anyway! You're more then welcome to hit me or any other RPer up. I find Balmung to be a friendly crowd and everyone wants to help each other out.

Good luck either way!

In light of recent events last night this may just be an investigation/conversation piece now instead of Anelia actually talking about him. >.>;
