I responded to a post in this game thinking it was from Defenders of the Multiverse.
I'm checking on like 5 tabs of forum games simultaneously.
My life has come to this.

The solution is to just to have characters inattentive or apathetic enough that you don't need to post much or read most of the IC.

But I have to maximize my amount of character interaction and development so that I can gain some sort of abstract gratification.

[Lermfish]

No plot, no excessive rules, silliness is encouraged. And I MISSED it? Why am I always late for the good stuff?

[SOLDIER First]

because you weren't invited, and you know not what havoc shipping wreaks

[Lermfish]

What do ships have to do with this? Didn't mention water or naval stuff at all.

[SOLDIER First]

you poor, poor thing

[Lermfish]

. . . Okay. Well, I've never done that to anyone so I'm not sure why you're accusing me. Find ONE post of me doing that with anyone's characters. Just ONE. On ANY site.

[SOLDIER First]

no my point was that a major focus of this game is shipping and you seemed unaware of this fact
to us abnormals, shipping is in everything and if it isn't it's objectively bad

[Empiricist]

For a more sane summary, half the players are just going to throw characters together until the two of them fall in love in a desperate bid to keep the RP going as the utter lack of a plot means that the character interactions will quickly dry up, killing the game. It is perhaps comparable to trying to pump more hydrogen into a dying star.

[Lermfish]

Ohhhhh. I thought you were accusing me of poor IC conduct or something. Yeah. I admit that I am unaware of shipping being a thing. I wasn't trying to talk shit either. I don't think it's bad or good. Weird or normal. I'm pretty not-caring. If it doesn't hurt anyone you're good to go. So, ship as much as you want. You'd do that with or without my blessing but...why am I still talking? I'll go back to catching up on the IC.

that was my bad, i probably should have added something to lessen "you weren't invited"

[Pencil_Art]

Another character edited into my post. We'll see if I can handle two.

@TCM:You mean Trespassers.

gee thanks
how optimistic

Note: Every time Emp's said that, the game's lasted for almost half a year before coasting, and two months more before it truly dies.
