- kioaun
- I'm contemplating dropping. Even though I...don't really want to?
- kioaun
- Like I've been mediocre at tags this week. Life has wiggled itself into some huge clusterfuck. But I finished them all! Within a few days!
- kioaun
- And now that I have time and actually want to tag there's...nothing to tag? Like I have three tags in my inbox. All from this morning
- Pumpkjenn
- I've had weeks like that...
- kioaun
- I've tagged out a ton. I've used the CR meme and plot memes a ton
- kioaun
- And I just have nothing.
- Pumpkjenn
- We could start something for November if you want?
- kioaun
- That would be fun
- kioaun
- And I understand people get busy. Hell, I just had a week of busy. But when it's probably over 50% of the game that I've dealt with?
- sakura
- yeah :-( i really don't know what to tell you
- kioaun
- I'm sorry, I don't remember what the hell we were doing after nearly four weeks
- Badassium
- i still havent tagged our thing im sorry
- Pumpkjenn
- So what do you want? Gen? Smut? Fiasco?
- kioaun
- That's what sucks. There's really nothing to tell me to do because I've tried pretty much everything
- sakura
- you make it sound like you've had a lot of things not followed up on, and that's really frustrating
- The Cage
- I'm to blame for constantly dropping the ball with Rock.
- kioaun
- Oh status things! Oh contact! Oh plot hints!
- sakura
- and while i could recommend reaching out to people
- Pumpkjenn
- Yeah, the game is pretty slow... I'm glad I have another.
- sakura
- it's like.... that takes time too
- kioaun
- Yeah I'm getting kind of tired of wasting weeks starting smut then having it dropped
- The Cage
- I've hit you up on the meme, but I end up not following through.
- kioaun
- I literally do not care if you end the thread with "And then he came everywhere and the walls were coated in it and they'd have a long night of cleaning up"
- kioaun
- BECAUSE THEN AT LEAST I COULD USE IT FOR STATUS
- Pumpkjenn
- :\ I've had that problem too, but with players that drop outright.
- sakura
- ugh yeah that's frustrating
- sakura
- i'm in a similar situation rn. one thread away from being able to apply for a contact
- kioaun
- I might need another game. Which, I like an adult environment very much where I don't have to watch what I say or what I post.
- sakura
- i think that would be a good move
- kioaun
- And I have so many fun ideas but just no time or skills to make a musebox game
- kioaun
- Fucking adulthood.
- sakura
- you often bring up the same concerns with coa which... they are justified concerns haha. i would be really frustrated in your position too
- sakura
- so if a second game would help go for it
- kioaun
- One of the clerks at work was whining about how she had class for four hours straight and I was pretty tempted to slap her.
- Pumpkjenn
- ... Although I hilariously still have a thread going on from the July Test Drive
- kioaun
- WAIT UNTIL YOU ARE AN ADULT AND YOU ARE OUT OF THE HOUSE 10 HOURS A DAY
- kioaun
- THEN YOU GET TO COME HOME AND DO LAUNDRY AND CLEAN THE CAT BOX AND COOK DINNER
- kioaun
- JUST WAIT
- SHSL Turk
- I would steal you to one of my other games if I could (ninja)
- Pumpkjenn
- YUUUUUUP
- SHSL Turk
- well. not other any more
- sakura
- coa just happens to work with my pace being what it is... i'm the kind of person who can return to a thread after weeks and still remember what was going on
- sakura
- but i can see how that would be tough!!
- aι ĸιngoғdυcĸѕ
- Did you drop both our network threads then?
- kioaun
- And then like, negative CR is fun, I enjoy it
- kioaun
- But in this game getting negative CR actively hurts me
- sakura
- ? what do you mean?
- kioaun
- Ooh the Sephiroth plot is fun! But then IC, Lu can't sleep with Sephiroth or Zack who are both reliable taggers
- kioaun
- So I just fucked myself for any status or AC threads
- sakura
- ah i see
- kioaun
- And your negative CR is leading somewhere useful! Don't worry about that.
- SHSL Turk
- honestly I think at least some of this is why I ended up needing a break from there
- sakura
- only thing i can recommend is kind of what i do for rp in general- if someone isn't reliable/drops plans on you a lot, don't tag with them
- ⓑ-ⓑⓐⓛⓛⓢ
- maa, yeah, if the pace doesn't work it doesn't work :{ like, if i'm too slow, don't worry about shelving my slow-ass shit for more reliable things
- kioaun
- Like this has literally turned into "Oh hey you're cutting me apart and I'm not into this. BUT DO YOU WANT TO HAVE SEX BECAUSE YOU AT LEAST TAG ME BACK????!???"
- steven stoner
- we're in a RP deadzone right now in terms of time of year I think
- steven stoner
- it's midterms/edging towards holidays
- steven stoner
- I don't think it's necessarily indicative of the game, people are just busy across the board
- sakura
- well i wouldn't tag things you're not into either...
- ⓑ-ⓑⓐⓛⓛⓢ
- it's better to put more time into tags that are reliable and work for you then those that don't, and i think most partners would understand that
- sakura
- ^ this
- steven stoner
- sephiroth and lucrecia can also definitely still happen, I just need to do that inbox thing/he'd be more reticent
- steven stoner
- and RW should be able to keep tagging you too
- colorofthesky
- yosh
- steven stoner
- so I think this is a little better than it might seem
- sakura
- it's the same with partners. stick with who's reliable/etc. who you have fun with
- colorofthesky
- Zack will be reticent too but considering how their CR started?
- colorofthesky
- it's really not a hopeless situation
- kioaun
- I'm just fucking worn out and burnt out on pretty much anything.
- kioaun
- And it's to the point, like I said, of "Oh you're busy? LIVE MY LIFE FOR A GODDAMN DAY"
- steven stoner
- that sounds more like hiatus time than drop time if you're feeling burn out
- steven stoner
- but ultimately that is up to you
- sakura
- agreeing with the hiatus
- kioaun
- Hi I leave the house at 7 and on a good day am not back until 6 and then studying for work and cooking dinner and cleaning the kitchen after and a billion little things
- kioaun
- Hiatus doesn't work for me because I have to start pretty much from scratch upon coming back
- kioaun
- So it just exacerbates the problem
- ⓑ-ⓑⓐⓛⓛⓢ
- hmm i would say give yourself a day or two to think it over, so any decisions aren't rash
- sakura
- that's good too
- kioaun
- I think that I would feel better if the game wasn't entirely "the only way you can do anything is by sex"
- ⓑ-ⓑⓐⓛⓛⓢ
- but if it irritates you and makes things more difficult than it acts as a fun hobby, then it's not worth it
- kioaun
- Because I do really enjoy threads, even when they are slow
- steven stoner
- well... it's a sex game, I'm not sure what to say on that front
- steven stoner
- second game would definitely compliment it
- steven stoner
- probably what I would recommend
- sakura
- that's a legit problem
- sakura
- i almost dropped ariel so many times when i was just starting out with maya because
- kioaun
- Guys I'm not standing on the edge of a cliff getting ready to jump
- kioaun
- You can chill a little
- sakura
- i literally felt like i wasn't going anywhere, even when i tagged
- sakura
- after a while it got better but there were definitely moments i got frustrated
- kioaun
- I have your notif but it is tagged as arriving at 2:52 this morning?
- kioaunis
- email being stupid?
- kioaun
- Like I have yours, Vincent's, and a PSL tag
- kioaun
- I'm going to give it time for the event to play out
- kioaun
- Because I think a lot of people have disappeared through it in general. I know it's not my cup of tea
- sakura
- yeah
- kioaun
- I should clearly give pep talks to college students
- steven stoner
- I'm not a huge fan of general type events and this just looked like another one
- kioaun
- "You will grow up, you will get a job, and life will kill all that was good and fun in your world."
- steven stoner
- so I passed on it
- colorofthesky
- I will be frank- I opted out because it's not my cup of tea
- sakura
- ariel is overall a really paced game. if there's things about it that just are not inherently working for you i'd consider what to do
- colorofthesky
- and it's massively triggering to the only character I play
- kioaun
- "You will go to bed when the internet is just getting fun and wake up half a day before people start stirring"
- kioaun
- "LIFE WILL KILL THE DREAMS YOU DREAMED"
- colorofthesky
- not knocking the event, it's just like I said- not for me
- sakura
- but also waiting it out helps sometimes too. sometimes you just have to find the things that work
- kioaun
- I think mostly organization of "This was dropped, this is ongoing but slow, this is something that can be done in a week"
- Omnomnomicon
- I think November will also be on the slower end of things because a lot of people will likely be doing NaNo?
- sakura
- yeah
- Omnomnomicon
- I need to finish up my Cloud app and send it in today, too. >.>
- sakura
- it's definitely something that's sort of up to chance too, sometimes things that work for someone else don't end up working out for you
- sakura
- through no fault of your own
- kioaun
- Also maybe I need to eat more than broccoli today.
- kioaun
- Since I've apparently only had 90 calories of it
- colorofthesky
- I would do that, yes
- kioaun
- Like, if a thread is not vore or snuff I will play it to the bitter end even if it is not my thing
- kioaun
- /eats more broccoli because it's already cooked
- kioaun
- As a tealdeer, I am tired of being productive and want to play fictional people on the internet
- kioaun
- But trying to do it is often like hitting my face against a rock and I wish it wasn't
- aι ĸιngoғdυcĸѕ
- See, you've dropped every thread we've had so far, even the things you just tagged into recently, so I just assumed you've decided you're not interested in my characters /shrugs
- kioaun
- I'm searching my email and I have no tags from you?
- aι ĸιngoғdυcĸѕ
- hmm I know we had threads on both my posts this month, I'll dig them up
- kioaun
- We've had two. One swimsuit shopping (which I have listed as completed) and I had one with Balder I know but it hasn't made it to my sheet
- kioaun
- But just as a side note I had 28 things going this month
- aι ĸιngoғdυcĸѕ
- Ah yeah I think the swimsuit one we talked about! But you tagged into Ai's return post as well as Balder's post.
- kioaun
- All but 8 are dropped and not by me. Which I mark them as dropped after two weeks
- aι ĸιngoғdυcĸѕ
- Balder's is here and Ai's is here !
- aι ĸιngoғdυcĸѕ
- It is fine if you're not interested! I just was a little curious because you didn't say anything but were sounding like everyone was dropping on you.
- kioaun
- My email does route tags to spam and sometimes I delete without looking. I also drop if it's been more than two weeks
- aι ĸιngoғdυcĸѕ
- Mine never go to two weeks XP
- kioaun
- Oh three people actually dropped the game
- kioaun
- That explains part of that
- kioaunis
- there some type of plague going around
- aι ĸιngoғdυcĸѕ
- I had hoped to have her and Balder meet in person sometime, because he's trying to figure out human body stuff (LOL)
- kioaun
- She's not teaching him how to pee with any accuracy
- aι ĸιngoғdυcĸѕ
- ROFL
- aι ĸιngoғdυcĸѕ
- HE KNOWS THAT HE ALWAYS HAD A DICK
- aι ĸιngoғdυcĸѕ
- but usually not even rain can touch his head. Nothing can hurt him. And now suddenly it can.
- kioaun
- PEEING SEEMS LIKE AN UNGODLY THING TO DO
- aι ĸιngoғdυcĸѕ
- (rofl) it does, doesn't it?
- kioaun
- And okay, I'm calmer now. Just. Getting organized and going to try to reorganize for November
- kioaun
- And remember that when people talk about having a mountain of tags it's because they don't tag every day
- sakura
- ^ this is usually the case, yeah
- kioaun
- It drives me insane to let tags sit for too long
- kioaun
- And I do have the memory of a goldfish and don't remember what's going on after a certain amount of time
- sakura
- like i'm a slower tagger by some people's definitions i'm sure, but i'm not making any apologies for that. i don't drop threads without notifying people and i stay reliable
- sakura
- in coa there's a big mix
- kioaun
- And like I said it's not so much the slow as it is the disappearing forever
- sakura
- yeah exactly
- kioaun
- If I wasn't enjoying the slow threads (threesomes, Grimmjow, BB, etc) then I'd just never reply to them
- kioaun
- Just the "Well we got 20 comments in and now you are gone forever :-("
- sakura
- that's good! i really enjoy our stuff
- sakura
- i think we got a good one for the threesome log too B-)
- kioaun
- Now I have this imagery of Lucrecia just leaping on someone screaming "I WILL HUNT YOU LIKE A FUCKING ANIMAL"
- kioaun
- And Maya just. Gently guiding her away
- sakura
- or helping her
- sakura
- (if she's drunk)
- kioaun
- Bad decisions are the best decisions
- kioaun
- Which should probably be my next cr header
- sakura
- header for all my cr in this game tbh
- sakura
- "your son told me he loved me maybe" give her the shame medal
- kioaun
- Actively plot to kill Sephiroth.
- kioaun
- See something shiny and wander off.
- kioaun
- Sephiroth only loves people like an iguana loves an insect
- sakura
- yeah that's true
- noizy dick
- I'm really sorry I haven't tagged you back in the event!
- noizy dick
- I keep looking at the tag and waffling on what I want to do with it (ie have the drug affect Noiz or not)
- noizy dick
- And that's when I have time TO tag, which hasn't been much lately
- kioaun
- If it's not something you are into that's fine too! I know you are busy with life things and we can always try again
- kioaun
- "LET ME DRUG YOU A MORE CRAZY AMOUNT AND FUCK YOU WHILE I CUT YOU THIS IS SANE"
- Goblin King
- I definitely feel your frustrations on this. Maybe the mods should have an occasional ac exception of "look at all the dam things I plotted and started and then nothing happened".
- Goblin King
- Not something one could use to often, but just when the shit and the flakes hit the fan
- Goblin King
- I'm always up for more terrible things and will be tagging again shortly for November
- kioaun
- Your job is to kidnap me to Disneyworld
- HORSE TORNADO
- HORSE TORNADO
- i do think that we're going into a quiet time with games, esp with ariel's october plot (just cause its not a lot of people's jam), and i hope you stay, but i get what you mean too
- HORSE TORNADO
- ive got something with antoher game thats similar
- HORSE TORNADO
- maybe a new game would help? box is pretty adult and we have great shit going on
- noizy dick
- No no it's not that I'm not into it!
- noizy dick
- It's that I couldn't decide the best way to play it
- noizy dick
- I'll pp you later because I had some thoughts.
- sass quadrant
- I'm sorry I was so slow on our thread too, though I did tag you back a while ago. I just assumed you lost interest or whathaveyou since, depending on whether or not Lu was going to tell her about the vision,
- sass quadrant
- The thread could be considered very close to done
- kioaun
- For some reason I thought we were saving Lu telling her for something else
- kioaun
- "I made cupcakes btw you'll die horribly."
- kioaun
- "It is unrelated to the cupcakes"
- sass quadrant
- Hahaha I don't think we planned that but it would be fun!
- sass quadrant
- Such a clarification Lu would have to make
- sass quadrant
- "It is not my cooking that kills you!"
- kioaun
- colorofthesky And leave that there?
- kioaun
- "My cooking isn't good but it's not fatal"
- colorofthesky
- if you wanna leave it there, we can (thinking)
- colorofthesky
- we an aim for a smut thread in november since i think...it might be easier to work around with him. not so despondent.
- colorofthesky
- can aim* even
- colorofthesky
- ..........and i forget it already is november
- kioaun
- Otherwise she's just going to push him over and go for the goods
- kioaun
- Because what is tact
- colorofthesky
- well. he probably won't push her off if she does
- colorofthesky
- he's really moe so getting him actually in the mood might take a bit of encouragement
- kioaun
- She would be awkward and just rudely pawing at his junk
- Castañas
- I really apologize that I'm probably one of the slowest taggers in all of Ariel. But now that I know you drop things once they're two weeks old, I know better now.
- colorofthesky
- It miiiight be better in that case to do a different thread after Sephiroth contacts her. Since...he'll be reticent to some degree anyway but he won't be so despondent
- colorofthesky
- He's not very fun when he's like this
- moonsey
- A lot of my tags are on hold since there was the move this week :-(
- Pumpkjenn
- I go afk and this plurk explodes.
- kioaun
- I'm bad with the threesome thread because I keep forgetting it exists
- kioaun
- Zack should just become a candy addict
- kioaun
- Eat candy. Watch soap operas
- colorofthesky
- like i said, if she shoves some in his mouth the next time, i will laugh
- colorofthesky
- it may come to that b/c he's a little skittish after being reprimanded
- colorofthesky
- he'll get over it though
- colorofthesky
- they just can't do the sexy things where Sephiroth can see
- moonsey
- I have it tracked. :-D
