I'm actually narrowing that list down. Don't hate b/c I can come up with that many unique chars and effectively use them all simultaneously...I'm used to writing solo, so writing an entire cast is rather natural for me. My bad. I really didn't think it was that big of a deal. A RP with 8+ active people would easily have that many chars.. so artificially inflating the number of active people really shouldn't be an issue. If it is, I apologize. If you work with me on stuff these things could be resolved. Simply pointing the finger at me and saying its my fault you don't post is a bit silly, eh?
As for why nobody is posting, the story kept going and they were still hanging around their personalized areas. All my chars, along with Andro's all headed towards Haven to meet up with the other posters. Everyone else is still in their own niche place in the world, interacting with themselves and not anyone else. Its only natural that they'd end up dropping off. You've got to actively participate with other people in the RP, otherwise you're just soloing.
DH: You don't have to make some mental case char to "fit in" or whatever. Write with your own style... that's what makes it a RP. I personally focus more on the psychological and sociological side of chars and my world detail comes second. I find it interesting to see what makes people tick. How many candles a room has or the exact placement of a building is irrelavent to me unless it influences the characters in some way that is worth noting. That's just how I write.
I suppose Jay's point is relevant in that me having numerous chars can seem overwhelming, since they all are interwoven together seemlessly. Trying to place something in that net might seem difficult to someone else I guess. Like I said, the list will be narrowed after my next post. Also, interacting with all my chars is irrelevant as well. Just because they are there doesn't mean you have to interact with them... unless they directly influence your char.
If all else fails, you can always bounce ideas off of me or ask me for details on something I haven't explained. I might not post on TFF anywhere, but I'm always poking around. Shoot me a message and I'll be glad to collaborate on stuff. Actually, thats how we used to do it back in the day anyway. I don't bite.![]()
