Game : an activity that one engages in for amusement. Woe and misery don't seem to be in there do they? Or am I misreading?
Soooo Much This.
I've had some wailing to me in pm, and know of it occurring to others, in pm about some minor issues that, really are minor. How someone won't rp with them, or how someone disrespected that individual, etc, etc.... get over it. No one here is a trained therapist and if they are, that person isn't here to give such. We are here to enjoy the game. Some need to learn to not confuse normal kindness for actual *want* of hearing how a person feels they have been disrespected or how that person is depressed because someone won't answer his/her pm, or how they can't find rp that they want. I've learned to simply pass on some sort of condolences of some sort that are commiserate with the issue of the day, then move on and not let myself get pulled into a long drawn conversation that is done to induce sympathy for that person's *major life issues*. I mean..I've been in a discussion that lasted for 30 minutes about how a missed "heya" in ooc, on my part, wasn't an intended slight against that person. That person has only gotten worse so I don't rp, nor chat with that individual. Shortly afterwards, that person was probably whining with someone else about how I wouldn't rp nor chat anymore. Good Grief. I've been stood up, had a person *poof* while starting a scene..multiple times in a row..just to come back on an hour later and find that person had returned and is ic. You know what? I don't immediately go into a guilt tripping pm that makes the other person feel as if they are being manipulated into forced rp. (Guilt Trippers are the worst, btw) That is minor stuff. I move on. Some people just don't want to rp with others, which could be for one or more of a plethora of reasons. Its life here in the big city of Nanthalion. I will not dwell on things and let it ruin my experience here in the game. There is to much to be had and enjoy.
