My reasoning

My primary reason for the inactivity on both the forum and Discord is primarily my general loss of interest in role-playing. While I'm finding others sites I've been slowly getting back into the fray on, it may be a bit longer before I me a return. This burnout was usually worrying about how I would interact with other players, any topic I've been in dying because of other players lack of interest but I've always blames on myself, how long I post, how I could have changed a topic despite it not being my fault, and usually when an RP dies I stray away from role-playing as a whole more and more. I'm not saying, "Force yourselves to play with me," I've just always had this trouble and I began to think it's simply because I accidentally make it stagnant in some capacity. I have no self-esteem, nothing to drive me and a lot of times I do become depressed from a deal of many things (though a simple RP wouldn't make me depressed, it's just everything I've had going on in life the past two years).

Suffice to say, it's not the end of the world. I'm slowly, slowly coming back around just it will be a good while.

Try not to worry about it too much, Bass. We've all experienced a burnout to some extent, some with this site, others just in general like you. Some of the topics you're talking about are ones I'm in. I'm sorry I've let so much time pass without replying. Part of it is I get distracted with other topics, or I want to match the post length and trying to figure out how, and I just don't like to reply if the person/people disappear for whatever reason; don't want them to come back and possibly feel bad. Also the whole autosave feature being broken was good for preventing me from posting unless I felt like/knew I could do the post in one sitting. Now that it's fixed though, that's one less problem.

Hope everything that's getting you down gets better soon. You're not alone there, either. Couple of us are going through a tough time. And glad to hear you're coming back, things wouldn't be the same without our #1 SeaWing.

I find getting to know people leads to better roleplaying.

Something people fear. Do it anyway. Or you don't know the tool.
