I haven't been here in forever. I've tried, but every time I do, I get lost. I used to make sure I was the most recent post of every thread, but at this point, it's just too unbearable. The guild is practically a big chat forum, and I can't watch it continue. It hurts, but I'm leaving BPLB. Any of the originals who are still here, add me if you want, but the guild has died, and I can't stick around here anymore.

I really am sorry, I feel like I let everyone down.

I'm not going to be one of the people who sit here and say 'Aw, I'm sad to see you go.' Not under those circumstances. It's turned into a chat guild. Big boohoo. We come here to vent and things get off track that is nothing new. Most of the stuff we talk about stream from the things that involve incidents within a RP.

If you are let down with the direction things have gone don't just say you're going to quit. Make an effort to change it. Before I give up on anything I make such that I have exhausted myself in putting in every single last effort I can to make it work.

We need a new guild RP, something everyone or a majority of everyone can get into. There are so many ideas and discussions in the class sub but none of us, yes I'm including myself in that, have had the time, drive, and/or interest of others to pull it off.

So rather than give us such a lame reason why you are leaving show us that you have done all that you can for this guild and its members before resigning.

I wont lie, I think you got an Napoleon d**k syndrome. You're a deceptively vain and arrogant creature. I blame this on your youth or at least my admitted prejudice against the youth that act like you. There is still plenty centralized around writing or RP. Some of it goes on behind the scenes some if it doesn't. I don't think this is at all why you're leaving, I have my own suspicions I'm not going to voice but simply elude to as that is you're own bull s**t. I can't boldly proclaim this s**t like you have as it's easy to deny.

You know why I can't seriously critique you as a writer though, or your reading skills? Because I don't think I've seen you once critically utilize either.

I honestly can't believe you when you say this is your reason. Perhaps you don't feel like you've utilized this to it's fullest potential and that this guild is a chat guild for you. I can vouch to the contrary that I have and do use it as it is intended. I often ask Bern to critique my work. I 1v1 RP with 5bulletproofmarshmellow where we actually work on critiquing each other's work. I bounce ideas off of the the few still active members to check the validity of these opinions.

The former paragraph is intended as contrast. I very well may also be plain wrong. In which case I accept that. If there is sufficient evidence to the contrary then so be it. It's not a dramatic thing however, I think what is dramatic here is the lie.

Also Bern I totally am trying to coordinate a guild RP. I don't know if everyone wants in on it though.

I'll admit, I'm not an original member, but for as long as I've been here it's been like this. The most recent 5 guild posts have rarely if ever been in RPs or even in any classes outside of the character creation & review topic. We're out a few people, but we've been chugging along as we always have.

I am aware of it. I read a few things that were mentioned in that thread.

And I have to add for the few of us that are still here I am glad that we remain active even if we do indulge in idle chitchat.

Well... s**t. Now I feel like I should've committed myself much more than I did. It seems like all my unfinished thoughts and projects will continue to be under construction until they slip into oblivion. Maybe it wouldn't have come to this if only I'd given at least some people something to do rather than twiddle their thumbs in all these damn waiting rooms I've spawned.

AH, what the hell. I'll be around guys. Maybe in a more foreboding way... but if you're interested in the projects I've posted here in the past but never finished let me know. I have a lot of ideas, one which has manifested into yet another big project. To be honest, seeing the guild in this somewhat lackadaisical condition and knowing how my stuff resulted in the past, I'm a little apprehensive on posting it at the moment.

I think... I'd need help. I'd be willing to post it if there are people willing to see it...
