Checked a particular forum game that I applied to, but was not accepted due to the already amazing players (and then there's me :V) and small limit.
Was reminded of writing sads, and also just that one of them said that they were really happy with the current state of things player-wise, which probably got to me more than it should've.

Try PMing the GM maybe? :O It'll get to you only as much as you focus solely on it.
And if I'm inferring right, your best option is actually PMing the GM Because y'all can then make many nice stories and conversations that way (And then there's you also being an amazing player but giving yourself a lot more slack than what is really needed). As a past GM myself, it is very stressful when you've got epic sheets submitted to your game and there's lacking slots. So don't come out of it with sads at your own efforts because everything you did thus far is important.

It's just like being placed in a queue. You're no less than everyone else in that line.

But yeah. Player limits. Bop those thoughts that make your reasoning unreasonable, and place them in their context boxes so they won't spill over onto everything else. Thoughts are like liquids in that manner, they get everywhere they aren't better suited if not placed in something...that hold them, which is your mind?

* Tiruin just realized how badly tired she is and how that's related to the thread :I

See, the trick is to be eternally online, and only try First Come First Served.
You could also just try one of those games that always takes new players due to slight madness on the GM's part, like Omega Legion.
What I'm trying to say is that you should come play RTDs with us.

Also this (And that what I'm inferring is the game isn't FCFS). You can also PM people for a game or prospective GMs can do that if they wish

Madness on the GM's part?
Dude, you've played a crow, a humanoid tortoise medic, and a freaking power pole. Also a pile of leaves??
You ain't passing all that off on the GM so easily.

[Egan_BW]

Hey, did I imply that I wasn't mad anywhere there? Because it sure looks like that's a thing that I didn't just do.
And please, don't forget the affable demon and the snake lady. :/
In case you hadn't noticed, I tend to die a lot.

Yeah, I'm presuming you're inferring correctly, Tiruin. And no, it wasn't FCFS, and I don't even join that many games. I just particularly wanted to get into this game.

And it's mostly just that it's hard to not feel like shit about it. I tried pretty hard, and when you try really hard at something and then are, if only due to strict limits, rejected, it can feel pretty saddening. I know that it wasn't any fault of the GM, and it was just that my sheet wasn't as good as the ones who were picked. Because, while you can say 'all the sheets were of equal value', the GM obviously picked the ones they thought were best for the game. I know that sometimes GMs have to make extremely difficult decisions, but obviously my sheet came out to not be quite right :V

And I did, actually PM the GM before selection of characters, to see how I could improve my sheet. Got no reply. Still haven't received a reply, actually. So my PMing experience with the GM doesn't bode well for me PMing them again, as I wouldn't be surprised if it was ignored again :V

It wasn't the GM who said they were happy with the current state of players, it was another player.

I know I'm on the wait list, but it still feels kinda cruddy, because it's still not being accepted with the initial flow of players. Even if I do get in, I'll be in late, once one person has died or otherwise left, which means I've missed out on a lot of game :V

I've had similar troubles with this sort of thing in the past, and I hate on my own writing enough as it is, it isn't great to have help doing that :v

But of course, I don't want to be accepted out of pity, either.

[Tiruin]

Don't hate your writing--if there's something you dislike about it, don't behold all your skill by that It's area for improvement. Reading more and expanding the content that you regularly read also helps there. Other people also can help ya :O (Like for example, I am extremely inspired by Caroline's writing and expression skills, so we shoot each other PMs ...Wait, both are unconnected to each other.
..I'm tired >_<)

...Also re-PM the GM! He's fairly busybusy, and the fun thing about PMs is sometimes you can check your My Messages and see a new page of PMs but miss out on the last one in the last page--much like the forum posts (and something I've accidentally done multiple times >_>).

Also said player was pretty much referring to the 'here and now' of what's going on It's a lot less of your lacking presence in what they mean.
That said, I'll shoot you a PM for writing :3

[Yoink]

I have to start doing "work for the dole" tomorrow/later today, AKA indentured slavery.
Perhaps there's another Australian about who can explain this drudgery, but right now I need to sleep, since I'm not sure what time I'm supposed to start. Or you could Google it, probably. Man I don't need this extra hassle on top of everything else.

My school has just implemented a new form of internet surveillance that is honestly a little scary in how strict it is. It feels as though we students are being stripped naked and paraded in front of a variety of over the top security devices. It feels like a violation of privacy and while you can argue that we don't deserve that as such whilst we are using the school's internet connection the lengths to which they are going to comb through our online activity is becoming more than a little ridiculous.

[Sergarr]

I can't quite concentrate on doing things that I should probably do. Aaaaaaannoying.

[Dozebôm Lolumzalìs]

stop being literally me

that was my sad

why do you always ninja me

[Yoink]

Damn, I want/feel compelled to keep screwing idly around on the internet, but I really need to sleep if I'm going to get up ridiculously early in the morning to get to this daft "job" I'm expected to do.
I'm sure if I stayed up juuuuuust a bit longer I'd managed to find some happiness, somehow.

[TD1]

I'm currently rereading WoT (again.) Just got to the bit where Mat orders the Redarms to shoot Renna the Sul'dam, and it just says "Mat felt something flicker and die inside him. He did not know what. Something. The dice rolled like thunder. "Shoot", he said." And then he returns, and is told not to mourn a traitor, and starts laughing uncontrollably at a rose bud flower on Tuon's dress.

It's so well written, and so sad. A minor character dies, and it's still heartbreakingly sad. Few authors can manage that.

[Sergarr]

why does lack of consistent sleep makes my mood go so damn unstable

[itisnotlogical]

The same thing happens to me. Being tired just makes me down and depressed. The solution is clearly to drink so much coffee that your body knows it doesn't need sleep anymore and can stop complaining about not getting any.

[somemildmanneredidiot]

It's because sleep deprivation literally causes parts of your brain to shut down. That's why being sleep deprived is associated with having a similar level of good decision making as being drunk.

[x2yzh9]

Yea, sleep deprivation for me has definitely made numerous mental disorders crop up for me in the past that are simply permanent. It makes me mildly sad as well knowing that I have them, but, sleep is important and a natural part of our body cycle. In fact, here's an article from the huffington post on how it killed someone in china.

   Not to be a downer of course, there are plenty of ways to get your sleep cycle back on track.
