I think Oskar's and my (and some others) problem with this now is just that we did not realize that this new shell would end up with different purpose than Miyu's original shell.
To me it always seemed like the unity of the RP community was first for the sake of RP, and social let loose stuff second. I never thought of the original pearl as a simple 'let's just chat' type pearl. I thought of it as a tool to gather RPers and a list of active RPers. Which is why when the conversations got out of hand on a pearl that I thought was being used to represent and bring together the community, I was upset. With the influx of new RPers from the server merge, I saw the shell as an opportunity for them to join the community and find RP with us here, as well as those in established linkshells to branch out. So good behavior and staying 'on topic' more often than just acting silly was what I thought was expected of us.
So, Intermission is a social shell for RPers, not the new OOC shell. Because it doesn't seem like a true recreation of that shell's original goal..
Or hell, maybe I misinterpreted even that original goal. Maybe it was supposed to just be a social shell all along. I don't even know anymore.

No, we will never ever agree on all things, what we CAN do is make -one- big linkshell for ALL! and ALL! Rp-ers to join, and prefeably WILL join so we can at least know WHO is an Rp-er, communicate with other rp-ers, annouce/create events/linkshells/friends/whatever so we can at least (re)start all the fun with Roleplaying again.
This linkshell is called Out of Character because I like simplistic and straightforward names.
Everyone will be officer and everyone, yes EVERY roleplayer will be invited, no discrimination. The point of it is to gather all RP-ers, no matter what style, race, timezones, shells, or whatever. You don't -have- to talk to other people or like other players but you can at least see they ARE roleplayers and maybe rp with them.
The idea is to spread this asap so we can have just simple fun in what we do best: Create stories.
I urge you to join, no.. I BEG you to join so we can finally break those walls between comfortable friends groups and reach out to other and perhaps entirely -new- roleplayers.
Yes it's a risk to give all and all roleplayers officer status, but I trust in you roleplayers to make this work.
After all our differences and disagreements we can all agere on one thing.
We -want- to roleplay. So let's do it!
