"They just need direction," is an exhaustively long and arduous road my friend. I've talked to users, and the funny thing is that so few actually get what they want out of a roleplay. Collaborations are hard to do, and I've been preaching it like the gospel that people need to start rethinking how they approach them.

At this point, there are people who are tired of the lackluster boring rp battles that have become so rampant and commonplace. They want more, they want story, character developments, challenges that go beyond how much ass they can kick. But as he said its... extremely difficult in the current atmosphere to get anything remotely like that off the ground.

Until people finally start to think about what they actually want out of roleplay and actually collaborate to create something that will satisfy all parties involved, its gonna be a bumpy ride.

I'm prideful, arrogant even, but mostly I just want an environment where there are others who share an interest in doing more complex storylines, stories that involve intrigue, mystery, stories with layers to them, emotional drama, and exciting combat challenges. But I've found it... difficult to get that here. I'm older than most people here, so my desires tend to run along themes they either find boring or don't even consider.

But reading the end of Naruto did give me a sense of closure for the series. I'm not sure how much I'll be participating on the fanon, but this could be the end it for me as well. Who knows? Till next time space cowboys!
