5. You know, I always felt bad about that.

The main reason I dropped out of the RP game so quickly, after you went to all that trouble of setting me up, will probably sound so ludicrous as to be...well, a very ludicrous thing. Just as I was getting settled into RPing, I was hit by a norovirus. Seriously. I mentioned it briefly on my lj, but didn't want to go into detail, as having the Norwalk virus is just as disgusting as they say, if not more so. And every time I looked at the page and thought about logging in, I would get a flashback to being that drastically ill and I would think "Erm, not right now." And then I got out of the habit.

Also I was really shy about whether I was doing the "right" kind of character interaction, or whether I was messing other people up too badly with my comments, and I enjoyed it a lot, but it was kind of scary. Even with support, it's hard to break into an established community that already has strong bonds with each other and a history. It's easy to disrupt that, or feel as though you might be disruptive, even if you're not.

Oh, all sorts of disruptive stuff went on in the old Discworld RPG that would never be allowed anywhere else; people were expected to jump right in and mess with the others. In other games, it's called god-moding, and very much a no-no.

I hope I might interest you in Milliways eventually. For some reason, there never was a Wraeththu contingent there. They may be able to sex it up with nobody but another har, but they can interact just fine! Also, one can play a charrie without getting them involved with anyone; I have had Teja in Milliways for three months now, and he's still not started anything with anybody. He is very slowly getting to a point where he may change that, but I take that very slowly, and also, it's plotted and intended that way.

So, how about it? **tempts**

Oooh, I'd love to! I assumed it was a closed community, so I never thought much about it. Perhaps I'll lurk and get a feel for the atmosphere there. Thank you.

[yakalskovich]

No, anybody an apply there. Just read it a bit (you might 'threadstalk' Teja, for example, to get a point of reference, keeping an eye on his tagged entries; or indeed any other character, to narrow things down a bit) and then, when apps are open again (from the 1st to 7th every month), you app somebody that you want.

I might tempt you with Myrtia (the 'girlfriend went stabbity', you know), but to be honest, narrative causality is so strong, that between he 19th century canon, and the 21st century values of Milliways, her plot line is completely on rails; she has what one would call insta-plot, and not much freedom in her development, should she come to Milliways. On the other hand, she'd be easy, for a first character; her canon is limited, you know all there is to it, and you couldn't do much wrong with her.-
