Balmung is an apartment that houses a particular group of people who have formed into a community of sorts within the building. This community attracts the attention of others who wish to join, but there's a problem. The apartment has become full. Sure, you can still bribe the landlord to let you in, but by this point people are sleeping in the halls.
Now, those that can't get in or can't pay the bribe decide to build their own apartment next door. Unfortunately, their on they're own as the city refuses to help and there are no contractors available. So these people, faced with an extremely difficult and daunting task, go next door to the overpopulated apartment to ask for people in their shared community to give of some of their time to come over and help them build.
The people of Balmung Apartments smile and say "We support your endeavors" but refuse to actually leave for a bit to help with the construction. "We don't have time," they say. "We're to busy doing what we want to do. Our fun comes first." On and on it goes like this for months with the same lines, putting themselves first instead. "Don't blame us," they say. "Its not our fault the apartments are full. Its not our fault that we would rather spend our time on ourselves."
Now, Balmung Apartments are so full that people are sleeping on the porches and hanging from the gutters. Meanwhile, the neighbors over on Mateus Lots do their best to build themselves a home. Its a shame so few are willing to help.
TL;DR
Mateus: Hey guys. Could some of you donate a few hours each week to help us build a second RP communtiy for those who can't get into Balmung?
Balmung: Here's some lip service of support, but fuck you, we got ours. Do it yourself.
I'll give you some lip service.
Ahem.
No.
Not just no but heck no. No one owes you or Mateus or me, hell, anyone rping, hell anyone period anything. I'm sorry buddy but that's life. This isn't some utopia were everyone has stupid amounts of free time. This is life Dawgs. Cruel. Mean. Unfair. Uncaring. Don't give two shites if you life or die life. And sometimes, to get what you want, you gotta put on dem adult pants and embrace the suck and worl hard to get what you want. Ain't no one gonna help you out if you keep bitching like that. You want help? Start busting your ass and then, after a few weeks or months of events you have hosted, say 'hey you Dawgs I been working hard to make Mateus awesome but could use some help. This is what I've done. What advice or help can you offer." That's proves you care and are not just a lazy peon who wants other people to do the work and that you are worth helping. Cause, again, no one owes you a thing in life. You earn everything, including respect. And right now, with comments like you dropped, you blew your damn foot off in that department.
