Okay. You've gotta tell me you saw it coming. I mean, I only got on for, like, five minutes every week lately. I haven't started any new threads and I haven't registered any of my characters. Of course, I'm sure you people were busy enough to not notice.
So I'm going to draw this out, and make it dramatic. It's quite simple and easy to understand. I'm not going to roleplay anymore. This means I have no more characters, I will no longer participate in the hunger games, and I will not longer be an roleplay tutor. I'm sorry, but I have my reasons.
DISCLAIMERS
I am not totally leaving. I liked chatting with ya'll, and since I'm homeschooled the social interaction really helped me feel less lonely. I'm not going to roleplay much though, or participate much. Only when I feel like it.
I want you all to remember that Ember did not kill herself. I don't know why, but I'm kind of touchy about that. Hatches killed Ember. The end. No more questioning it
I don't mean any offense to any of you. This is just what I started to think after a year of roleplaying. I've got good memories and bad memories from this place. Some of the bad ones have brought me to literal tears. I don't hold any grudge against any of you, and I hope you won't against me.
The reason I finally decided to tear away was because of Minecraft, not because of the moral issues and emotional issues, etc. So please don't feel bad or angry, okay? I'm not trying to start a soap opera.
The Big Cheese
Okay, so the thing that started it really was how I figured that the hunger games and interactions with other players caused more stress than anything else. Roleplaying was fun, yes, but the amount of stress and anger I got overwhelmed the fun side of it.
The Dramatiques. I feel like everything that happens on this is overinflated. I mean there just characters. Not even pixels, just words, and we give them quotes and banners and try an make it look all cool and hip. Well now, to me, it's started to look just kind of silly. And after looking silly, it's started to irritate me. The games is a big source of this irritation. I mean, I killed my own character, but there's also other people having fits over their character dying. Yeah, I used to be like that too, I know how it feels, but I guess I've just changed now. I can't see it at the same level anymore.
The tutoring. Yes, I know. It's a job I was extremely happy to get, but after a while I began to grow weary of it. Why? Because at least half of the people who posted for tutoring never took a second glance at their thread. Or if they did happen to reply they never really applied any advice I'd give. They wouldn't really think about it. To all you people who did look at your tutoring threads again, I applaud you.
Minecraft. Minecraft, minecraft, minecraft, minecraft. Half a year ago I thought I would never find something more amazing than this site. Well I did. Minecraft. I've told ya'll about it's amazingness many a time. Well, now I'm addicted and it just sucks up my time the same way this site did. Maybe one day I'll get sick of that too.
Truth be told, I never really made any bestie friends, and that hurt me a little. There are some of you who I do adore, and all the rest of you I certainly like also, but I never made a friend better than Spottedcreek who was from way, way back. So I was sort of disappointed that I could find a best bud to latch onto and follow everywhere. This is certainly not the big, big reason why I left. It just helped out with my decision.
So I will be finishing up any threads that have not been finished, and I will come to chat, but don't expect me to be on too often.Expect a minecraft thread in the DS
