First off, you guys are awesome. I have a hard time figuring out what to read on the forums all the time, so this was a good look into how the community is going.
I just wanted to pop in and add another 2 gil (As Eva calls it) on the subject.
Mostly I wanted to sort of clarify my "happy ending" comment. I didn't mean to make it sound like everything had to have an 80's cartoon moral at the end of every RP session. Nah, the world is gritty and stuff happens that is horrible. That is part of the drama and the fun and the storytelling.
I think mostly my point is part of OOC communication. Which falls into the category a lot of you have brought up about style preferences. I totally get that people have their own styles they dig. That is awesome! And yes we sort of need sub-categories so we can have our group of peeps that see mostly eye-to-eye with each other.
I totally agree that if you're getting upset that there is a good chance you're putting yourself into it possibly too much. But I'll at least admit that I have to put some of myself into it or I'm not having a ton of fun. Like when I read a good book, I'm emotionally attached to my characters and the characters around me. (Not to say that I throw tantrums and have to have everything my way because I'm attached. No.)
Really all this just stems from wanting this community to be everything I hope it can be. I'm going to meet people I don't like. There will probably even more that don't like me. That's life. But I'm trying really hard to respect even those I don't like because they're trying to have fun, too.
So all-in-all, I just hope there is more OOC communication than sometimes I've experienced in the past. I hope to play with a lot of you, so I'll say it now: If I ever disrespect you or hamper your fun, tell me! We're all on the same team.
