The Great RP Strike of '07
And thus, with the posting of all the posts I can, I begin the Great RP Strike of '07. The only time anyone really posts in RPs anymore is pretty much once a week, if we're lucky. Heck, I have 6-7 posts in a row on CoO. So, now, I'm going to stop posting, because I'm tried of it just being me and Artemis posting.
Look at this signature. Isn't it the funniest and most hilarious signature you've ever seen?

So.....because nobody else is posting you're just going to give up? Until what? The RP section is a shining bastion of posting?
I'm sorry, but killing all of our RPs might not be the best way to go about doing what you're doing. I know you don't want to see that happen.
Although, on the flip side, I see why you're doing this and I'll support it. So yeah, let's all make the RP section a shining bastion of posting, ya?

Yeah, me too. Just always can't get around to posting if I'm drowning in school-work.Josiah wrote:I'm all for more active RPs.
And I fail to see how MK stopping postage in RPs is going to make anything more active. If anything, it'll remove the little bumpage the section already gets.
Sigh....
Listen, if you want to do this, I'm behind you all the way, buddy. I just want to know what it's supposed to accomplish.

Hm. Trying to revive roleplays by not posting in them. I can definitely see the logic there.
I miss the activity the roleplay section used to have too, but can't it wait until school's out? I pretty much haven't gotten a break since midterms, and all the time I've given to IPA certainly doesn't help.
Nor does the One Piece addiction.
And to be honest... I've always hated the 'striking' concept. If you ask me it's just glorified whining, and you know how I feel about whining. *coughCHEEZDUDEcough*

"Irregardless" and "Over exaggerated" are NEVER CORRECT EVER because they are redundant
Regardless means "without regard", and adding "ir" on the front actually makes it a double negative; exaggerate means "to overstate" so you're literally saying "over overstate."
Example: I can not exaggerate the importance of this fact enough, regardless of how often people ignore it.

The logic is that for most of them (Not all of them, Star Wars lately being one) is its just me and Artemis trying to keep them alive. So, like, I'm not posting till OTHERS begin posting. And yes, I know School is a factor, but hey, its almost over.Silver wrote:Hm. Trying to revive roleplays by not posting in them. I can definitely see the logic there.

Which is why it makes absolutely no sense to start whining right before school's over and not just wait for activity to inevitably return when it ends.
Also, I still don't see how ceasing to post is supposed to inspire others to. If anything, it would drive others away, because now, NO ONE's posting. Yeah, not posting until others post, great. It still says to me that you're just beginning to lose interest yourself.
...Gomen, but as I said, complaining really bugs me, no matter what the reason for doing so.

Honestly, I wasn't sure if my constant posting in all of the RPs I'm involved in was just doing more to annoy people or not. It's true that I don't want any of them to stop and kill over for good, but... now that this situation has occured, perhaps it will lead to more posting. Guess I've lost what I was going for... Sorry...
If you haven't guessed as much, I used to be Artemis around these parts.

What your calling Whining and Complaining (Yes, it is a bit complaining. I don't whine though.), I call an attempt at pushing life back into the RP section. I mean, even with school and all, there's still time you could at least attempt something on weekends or weeknights or whatever.
Here, let me throw you a few dates.

Care to know what they are?
