Subject: Temporary leave of absence
Forward: What follows is not a complaint, simply an explanation on where I am going.

So this was my first time doing a system based RP. I kinda found it a little restricting and not conducive to good role play. I said so publicly once and most everyone I spoke with even here quite agreed with me. I suppose since this is a battle RP its logical to argue that the system should over rule RP, which is true and I agree with that, but when coming against some of the walls it felt very MMORPGish, as if I was RPing on WOW or AION (which is an awesome game btw).

From my failed kidnapping (due to a system logical error) to the statistical difference in threads made for the sake of the system ratio to the number of role plays going on. Then of course the crowding into battles for EX fiasco. It felt like I was walking into that waist high fence in RE4 that for some reason Leon will not jump over despite him being an acrobat of sorts. In short I am just going to see if I can find something more along the lines of a RP and a bit less along the lines of an MMO.

Obviously due to Alex's overwhelming success in making this game what I am saying is probably a minority opinion, but since this is entertainment its all about feel and less about know. With that in mind I will be removed from the Role play for a short while to test waters elsewhere. I'll still be answering PMs and will probably still be in the chat box if someone needs to talk, I'm just taking a break from the Role play aspect for a bit. Who knows, I may very well come crawling back.

And a special thanks going out to Blue AKA Rem for putting up with all my flakiness. Sorry dear for dropping out like that.

RP with me, dammit!
I apologize if my excel calculators disturbed/scared you. I have always felt like the math behind stats is too ambiguous (percentage vs percentage points, mostly) so I tried to make something for everyone to calculate things the same way. Though all of that doesn't matter in the least if you don't battle.

Good luck with life and finding your place.

It's impossible to leave and never come back to this place.
I've left... 5 times. IT'S IMPOSSIBLE!

Everything you've mentioned in this post is optional stuff. This site was designed to appeal to both metagamers AND pure RPers. If you don't want to deal with stats and just want to RP, you can. That's fine. We have a few members who don't update but just roleplay. If you want to get heavy into stats, there's a huge system for you there as well. It was made to appeal to both audiences.

Oi Tambourine don't worry about all that. Those sorts of things are helpful I am sure.

And Alex I know all of that, but for example say "Fighting is optional in WOW, some people don't even do it" which is all true. But the orientation of the game as it exists in reality and not theory is not congruent with the reality it is applied to. No need to try to re-convince me, I already laid down your site's statistics for Taps. who quite agreed with my analysis. Secondly there is no need to convince me because I never said I was quitting. The reason I am taking a leave of absence to to find another game which does not necessarily mean I will be leaving this one.

Just with the one character limit and he system limits the time consumption of the game keeps alternating to level that are unacceptable. There for I have to find something else to shuffle in to my rotation because I am a student and I gotta live at my computer. I'm just testing for something to add on. I aint leaving nowhere.

FYI, I never PvP in WoW.

Lot of abbreviations in that one.
