[Hey again]

Lu again, here to belt crazy words at you guys.
There was a really good response to my other blog. You probably know the one. Quite a few promises to be more active, lots of agreeing. I appreciate it, I really do.
But problems aren't so easily fixed, right? We still have work to do. Acknowledgement is the first step. Actually doing something is another, my friends. So I'd like to propose something to make it easier, yea? I think it could be fun. It's been suggested in the past.
I'd like for people to try picking a character they've never seen before...never talked to, never heard from- maybe they're nothing but a picto right now. And I want you to try attaching to them for a few hours in the forest. Once a day. You don't have to abandon your friends, either. Pull them along with you. Play with these new characters, watch them, fight them if that's what they're into. Could even just sit and rest beside them. Just interact.
And if they have a bio, post on it. Anything from a little 'hi', to a snippet of rp. Look through your character's eyes... what does your character see? How do they feel about this company, who may have exposed, seeping flesh and bone, or a brilliant white hide? Let's not just glance, but really look at the characters around us. Get into the experience of it. I think a lot of us look at this game from a third person view. Let's try a first person for a little bit. There are so many opportunities to be had.
Opportunities that I see being overlooked.
Yees, this is a lovely idea;
Tracking this too.
I let chance determine if I
I let chance determine if I meet someone new. More often though, I don't have the interest. I'm assuming this is exactly how the majority feels too.
I'm not particularly bothered that I never role-play. Interacting with others in forest is enough for me, but of course I'd love to role-play someday. I just lack the confidence anymore because it's been so long. So long that it's safe for me to say that it's been a year since I've had any in-depth text interaction at all. So, I just don't care for it. I need to get out of this rut, psh.
As for meeting new deer in forest, I do that quite often. But it's hard to find someone interesting when so many are 'mary sues', overly sexual, or the types to always want to fight.
Tracking this to remind
I think I can do this with my Melek...yesyes

I think this is a really good
Jala, I agree with what
PS. I'm in the forest with Glisseo if anyone cares to find her ;D

Basically this, though I think it's cool other people are on board with the idea.
I for one don't really want people posting on any of my things because they feel obligated or because they feel like it's the right thing to do, but only if they want to or honestly have something to say(IDK how I would respond to a simple 'hi', lol). Usually I do it this way with other people too. Also a growing lack of interest on my end. That doesn't mean I'm not up for interaction, just means I'm not going to throw myself out there either or put a lot of effort into it. This kind of fluctuates though, I guess.
I know there are a lot of under appreciated things/people here though that go unnoticed. Maybe people who are willing to put forth effort into the idea could surface some of that.
Anyways, not bashing the idea. I think it's cool, and thought your other blog was too, for people that want to participate. On my end I just don't seem to have much energy for it.
Fff. It won't let me edit my
Thank you so much for
Seriously, thank you. You are making it so much easier for all of us, Lu. ♥ I mean it.
I getcha, Sianna. The want to
*types ridiculously fast answer before dragged away*
Well hopefully it will help
A bit of a bump for this.
