Let me make this perfectly clear. I freaking love you guys. Even those of you I haven't met, I love you, because it takes a certain kind of guy to get into text RPing. And with that, I love the forest and Rping.
With that said, you guys probably noticed I was here for only a week or so, and then kinda vanished off the face of the earth. Well, the thing is, it's REALLY REALLY hard for me to get on the forest, because you guys are pretty much on a different timezone than me, so I have to either get up early or get on during my work hours in order to actually play with you guys, which is really tough to do. That's why I miss good ol' forum RPGs. Sure, it wasn't live, and therefore not quite as exciting as IRC RPs, but it didn't require everyone to be around at a certain time and to stick around. We could post what our character did, then go bugger off and do something else, then come back after a while and continue. And there was more detail, more specific actions, and honestly it was never all that slow to begin with.
But anyway, I also noticed, while I did change my style to fit the new rules and new crowd, I can clearly tell that the style I'm used to is long dead, and when I'm in charge of having an enemy, people tend to complain. (*cough* astro *cough) I don't like to think of my characters as DBZ rip offs, and I don't believe that they are in any way, but I can see the resemblance, and I can see why that might put people off nowadays.
I guess I've become a bit of an Eric Bischoff of RPs. I had my day to shine, and now I'm old and washed up. XD
Anyway, I'm kind of just speculating myself, the big deal is the timezone thing. I can't get on easilly. Plus, even on my spare time, I work on making videos or playing new games I bought.
So yeah, that's why I haven't been on the forest IRC, but I'd like to stay as a member of the KonikiForest forum.
