I'm sorry that the non-canon RP story thread sort of ended. It didn't seem like it was taking any direction and the handful of RPers involved I think tend to be more reflective than proactive so it just sort of turned into chit-chat around the campfire - which is neat to a certain point but I suppose it isn't terribly exciting. It could probably be revitalized if you wanted, but I was sort of waiting for one of the others to jump in.
I personally tend to stay away from RP outside of the game and I usually shirk away from forum-based RP because a lot of times it sort of relies on a number of people posting at a certain frequency and when that doesn't happen... well... the story just kind of gets left dwindling, or never really gets off the ground. And people post at different speeds and some folks aren't able to post as often as others and get upset when things progress more quickly than they're able to keep up, and others get frustrated when it goes too slow. It's just easier in game, or I suppose along any sort of chat medium where the action is happening much more rapidly. I sort of broke from my usual practice because it looked interesting - and I suppose because I missed RP and your thread was advertised as non-canon.
Our own reason for [generally] avoiding most of the non-canon RP stuff that's ongoing right now is because we would like to meet a lot of the new characters and faces in-game rather than "unofficially" meet them and then later try to spin it as a new meeting again. We've also both been really busy with a number of other things/projects so I suppose even if the game was up we probably wouldn't have a lot of time for it anyway. The other reason I suppose is that it's just "practice RP" and doesn't really matter anyway since there are no results of the outcomes of any of it, and we'd also prefer to wait until things are on record again and all 'official-like'.
