My absence... again.


By Dark Siren Sally - Posted on 13 June 2008 in Daily Post, Online Games, Hiatus, Roleplaying

It's MOSTLY related to Soul Collectors, and my frustration trying to plan for it and then procrastinating horribly.

So I'm throwing in the towel. :P

Not because I dislike Soul Collectors as an idea -- I still love it. And I intend to run it again one day. However, I think I need players with a similar playstyle to me. Players who'll appreciate my descriptiveness, because I prefer writing paragraph(s) long descriptions, actions and interactions than trying to keep up with fast paced oneliners. I want my players to at least *try* to stunt regularly, if not all the time.

I didn't start this thing to have a chat RP. :x And honestly, agonizing over my lack of inspiration was KILLING me. I've been horribly depressed, unmotivated to go outside, eating irregularly, etc. I just... don't want to deal with that any more. Not for a GAME.

SO! SC will have to rest. If it does arise again, it will be by invitation or request. I don't know who would be interested in Soul Collectors 2.0, though. n.n Anyway, I won't be reviving it until I'm settled in Montreal, so that ought to be... August? ish? If at all. :O Though it'll still have an every-other-week schedule, or end up a PbP game.

Speaking of PbPs -- I'm probably going to put some of my leftover energy into trying to start an Exalted one now. :D Because I think they are more my speed. I know that I can count on a Kraken and a Jon to play~ which makes me happy! I just need to come up with a concept. I mean, I COULD just recycle SC and make it my PbP, but I feel a little sour about SC still... so I'm not sure.

I can only say this: I'm glad I pulled the plug early instead of late. B&B was a big mistake for that. I'd rather have wasted weeks than months of my time.

Still, it was a bit of a waste. I feel like my ST reputation is taking a major hit. =_= But it taught me that I'll just have to be even more selective with my player base. I experimented with branching out to other groups, and found good players as well as not-so-compatible ones, and my decision here is one of the fruits of that experimentation.

Anyway, that said, I'm going to play PSU tonight (woo new mission~) and I probably won't pop up on IRC till the weekend. I'm just not in the mood to talk! *shrugs* Incidentally, not running this Sat also frees me for a DR meeting at 6pm for the Order of the White Rose (and no. It won't interrupt 1890s game time.)
