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
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.
