So, now what?

I sit here thinking what I'm going to do next. Where is my mind lately? To be completely honest, I'm not entirely sure. Some days I think I want to do one thing and others my mind is in another realm entirely.

I want to roleplay.

I want to roleplay in a place where I won't be treated like a child. I want to roleplay in a place where all the characters aren't the same... dull, cookie cutter molds of shadows of people. I want to roleplay in a place where I'm not forced into creating one of those characters if I want to participate in anything major plot-related. This means I am going to quit Shadow Siege for good I think. I can't do it. I can't deal with the bullshit there. I don't want to be treated like an inferior person so i'm not going to subject myself to people who want to treat me that way.

I think I am going to switch to playing Eternal Struggle. It's more open and a bit more limited, but the roleplay is good. People there have personalities and it's not completely filled with angst and immature prattle. I am tired of games where everyone is boring ... a stereotype of a character with no real depth. Dull. I am tired of Shadow Siege mostly because everyone is the same. The world doesn't allow for much else (and the staff doesn't like anything that is too different).

I am going to play Time of Darkness and Eternal Struggle. I am going to write an email to Mina describing why I'm not going to play there anymore. Unlike the other players who are wishy washy and flop in and out of playing, I'm just going to step away. There are hundreds of games out there and I don't need to put up with feeling like I can't say anything for fear of wrath and discrimination.

good luck with your new game. I'm beginning to teach my sons,10 and 12 basic dand d, which is fun but a little frustrating because they don't want to read anything.

Well first of all for a post like this, I'll load the links field with my roleplay criteria.

As an Immortal on Time of Darkness, my role there is a tad bigger than Cruise Director. The main point of my being there is to drive the RP. I love to RP. I love to blog my RP in my....role play blog.

I like my RP blogs to reflect and shape the RP of ToD. Currently, there's a lull because of a few issues on the MuD itself. But soon, I will reinstate a major RP boom.

Talking to Kali (aka Webkittyn) last night, I feel that expanding my evil PK clan to a larger enrollment status is a good start. Normally the clan I am patron of (the Infernal Order of D'Sar) has always been about the undead (heucevas, ghosts, vampires, etc.). Now it's time for expansion.

But the best parts about our RP is that it's not limited. Sure, there are the basic storylines of good vs. evil, but we skew into simple war stories... like the battle for the ultimate evil and the usurption of the current "Dark Liege".

If you read my RP blog from the beginning archive and follow it through to the end, the character of Darkstar is a rather riveting story. Some say the writing style is very close to Laurel K. Hamilton.

Come to ToD and get involved... don't just play.

Actually I have read your blogs from start to finish Darkstar. I've read almost all of the on BoR... at least the ones that are worth reading. I love rp blogging and you probably read mine on BoR (or at least noticed it was there - Tzoli).

I am working on coming back to MUDding, but I wanted to finish out the full time away and get my mind in order before getting wrapped up into things again.

I was actually thinking about trying to rekindle the Adventurer's Banner clan again. It doesn't have many members, but it seems pretty neat.
