Re: Sad day.
Well, I don't know if it's going to mean much, but well done, mate! It's quite an achievement to run a game that long!
As for me, well I'm a bit depressed myself. Can't name name any names, and I'm not wanting to throw any mud, but I got kicked out of my first Rpol game this week. To make a long story short, the other players didn't like how I was portraying my character, even though the GMs at one point did acknowledge that it was spot-on with the description. I wasn't legitimately trying or mean to piss everyone off, I just did.
In essence, I was trying to be too perfect and do too much in-character, and even the GM's got hacked off with me going off and doing my own thing even though it was a freeform game. The irony is there was a character in the same game which was practically the same sort of character as mine, very puffed up and superior acting, he was just there longer than I was, and nobody seemed to complain about him. The thing that really galls me though, is that I seemed to be taken the wrong way a lot, me staying in character and trying to be witty ended up being interpreted as "egotistical and pompous". Yeah, maybe so, but there are some pots calling the kettle black in THAT camp, if you ask me.
In a way, I guess it's for the best, the game had stopped being fun with practically every post I made being micro-managed and I was literally nervous to even come up with a post even though I liked the game and its premise overall, and I do realize that these clashes do happen and we don't all get along 100% of the time, but nonetheless I am a bit upset and bit hurt that it happened the way it happened. I'm not asking for forgiveness, I probably deserved what I got,but I would just like to say that I'm sorry, wherever you guys are, I didn't mean to get you angry with me, and I'm sorry it didn't work out in the end.
There, I've said my bit, carry on, good citizenry of Rpol, I hope things go better for you than they have with me.
