Hey, I don't mean to be a pill but there's been a few trends here that have been confusing me.

First off, someone posts an unplanned, spontanious post and it takes players several days to jump in and reply. Even though they are creating new threads and leaving an empty one neglected for several days, weeks in certain cases. Now, I admit I don't always jump into these because I like to offer others a chance to themselves. And sometimes I feel like the poster might have certain other players in mind when they make a post, so I wait. But I'm really curious why this is happening mostly because I can't really come up with a logical explanation.

Secondly, some characters only seem to appear around other characters. Sometimes there are reasons for these things (like workplace, living place, etc.). Sometimes there's the whole 'people like to be around those they know in strange places' part of human thought that can explain these things. Now I try my best to make my characters interact with everyone and I know I don't always succeed mostly because of who is on when and also that sometimes I feel it would be highly inappropreate to stick my character into a post that's taking place in Lelouch's apartment (can't find a reason for them to be there and be IC). But I'm kind of wondering what everyone else's reasons are for this....

Thirdly, sometimes when I jump a character of mine into a post I get one, maybe two replies and then its over. I'm really confused by these ones. I don't know if the other person hates, me, is too busy, or whatever.

So uh, yeah. If someone could explain this for me, I'd be greatful.

(edit: I fucked up and accidently attacked someone. Yes I do that and yes I am sorry.)

	You know I do agree with you to a point but honestly if you're going to call one person out call them all out because now I'm feeling personally attacked. I too have tried to meet people but gotten denied. (Reply to this)(Thread)

	I didn't actually mean a personal attack there. I was trying to find a way to express how some characters just don't seem to appear there and decided to provide an example to drive the point home. I'm a very blunt person, so I'm sorry if you felt attacked. (Reply to this)(Parent)

Ah, well I think I got a good balance of inside his house and outside with Lelouch. I get what you're saying. Please refrain from calling somebody out on this in a post like this. Suzaku has more variety than a couple of people I can think of.

Valid points girl. I've been wondering 'bout this myself with some people. I can think of a good number of a couple of threads that end before 30 or something comments when the same person has one still going with 200.

	It's really frusterating when I have a post I'm in get abandoned. And I do think you're being pretty good with Lelouch. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Sometimes it's a matter of emails never reaching or the person taking really long to respond so the other player gets frustrated and gives up. But yeah I noticed a post or two where a post is made and there isn't even more than three comments so that's not always the case I realize but keep that in mind. I usually try to IM the person to remind them if I haven't gotten a response after a day.

I try to make sure my guys talk to a lot of different people. The only person I'm not doing so great with there is Matt since he hasn't had a post without Mello yet XD Uh. He's still new though so~

I know how you feel. I hope I havent made you feel that way with any of my characters. My toons arent exactly popular but I do try rp with people and make posts, but generally I get the same response you do.

I think we should make a request post. You know, who you'd like tp rp with, storylines you'd like to do for your characters, ect. A real get to know ya thread. I think it's a good goal to spread out instead of just sticking with certain people. I think also another problem is our lack of villians and/or general lack of conflict. Things dont really go anywhere and people kind of just fall into a sort of..I dont know the word, funk? I know I say this while playing two villians but it's hard to be intimidating in a world full of badass heros.

	I know, I just gotta get over my thing about bother people. I feel like Im bothering people with that mess even though it's like my job. XD After halloween events though Seph will get back to being Seph and I think I might have Xem show up during the halloween events and make a mess. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	allhailzero 2009-10-27 05:19 am UTC (link)
	Ya you gotta get over that. It's your job to crash the party. XD I was thinking of picking up a villian- mainly Kadaj so I can help Sephy/You out with the BIG EVIL PLANS~ but I know most people don't like him and figured the shuuuuuun would happen and nobody would play with him. ....Not that anybody wants to play with him that guy kicks puppies. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	hammerofjustice 2009-10-27 05:22 am UTC (link)
	I love Kadaj! Plus with Seph there, Kadaj has lots of reason to b'aww since he's not mommy's favorite. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	allhailzero 2009-10-27 05:28 am UTC (link)
	Oh you do? XD Maybe~~Definately~~ I'll pick him up tomorrow. See 'cause it'd just be waaay easier for Seph to start shit if someone's starting it for him? Ya know? ...ALSO RANDOM~ but digging that default icon of yours. Oh Mao~ (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	zaphod 2009-10-27 05:39 am UTC (link)
	Yeah, Seph would just be like "THANKS FOR ALL THE HARD WORK. IM BETTER THAN YOU. TIME TO FIND CLOUD LOLOLOL" I <3 Mao, he's like..the only geass character I like. >_>; XD (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

XD Aw and then that'd make Kadaj all pouty and pissy and all OH YEAH I CAN FIND HIM FIRST. >| ...Oh god we can have fun with this. Excuse me while I go make a journal now.

Mao is amazing. He's like a genius with how to get cheaper airfair! 8D Compact In Luggage > Extra Plane Ticket. Yup. ...I have no idea how he's the only character you like though. Everyone in that show is so awesome, come on. ;;

	Yeah but I've tried to play with people before and had disinterest expressed you can't force people to play with you and if you do then you make it an obligation and it's no fun for anyone. Even if you do make a list doesn't mean people are interested in your character. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

I know that, I understand where you're coming from. It's not like a definitive list, it's more like just a brainstorming session so people can get an idea of what others are looking for storyline wise for their personal characters.

For example, if we had more villians or people generally doing bad things, Deadpool and Rubi could put their mercenary agency to good use having people hire them to do this that and the other. Stuff like that.

Just because people might not be interested in character A, doesnt mean they can't be in a storyline or post with character A. Just like some characters shouldnt just hang around with characters they are interested in all the time. It's never fun to be left out just because somebody isn't interested in the character/series somebody is from.

	kamina 2009-10-27 05:25 am UTC (link)
	You could try a list but if people don't really smell what you're steppin in then the responses are lackluster at best and too far and between. >.> And how can I play with you when you barely ever show up online. I mean I've wanted to talk to run ideas with a bunch of people but they are either hidden or lied about their IM (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	bar_ohki 2009-10-27 05:27 am UTC (link)
	I think an issue with the IM thing is that the IMs posted on the Claimed post are all in lower caps. I think AIM might be case sensitive, if it is, we need to start including the proper caps. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	kamina 2009-10-27 05:28 am UTC (link)
	I dont think it is I have typed in the names and they changed then to the correct spacing and caps. People in this comm just lurk for personal reasons. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	zaphod 2009-10-27 05:37 am UTC (link)
	I havent been on aim much because I'm not on my personal computer. I dont know about other people, but if Im not on aim I'm all down with gettting messages via email or a comment left on my journal. (Reply to this)(Parent)

	chocolatier 2009-10-28 08:58 pm UTC (link)
	Or, in my case, are lurking because of a glitch in meebo that makes my names sign on invis. :\| Idk what's going on, tbh. But I've been around lately. (Reply to this)(Parent)

	bar_ohki 2009-10-27 04:56 am UTC (link)
	I like your idea there. That might actually create some more different kinds of movements. I feel kind of dumb for ranting and not suggesting a solution.... (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	hammerofjustice 2009-10-27 05:21 am UTC (link)
	There isnt anything to feel silly about. Lots of people say things in the heat of the moment and even argue or make others feel attacked. I dont think there is any reason the community needs to fight but I'm all for people bringing how they feel to the table and working through them with talking. I dont want anybody to be unhappy, this place is for fun not frownies. (Reply to this)(Parent)

	I also like the idea of a request post type thing. nods (Reply to this)(Parent)

	This kinda works with what I had in mind for the whole "bulletin board" thing in twilight town. I think I may have mentioned that to you at some point? (Reply to this)(Parent)
