I don't know, Hael...I can't presume to know how much RPing, or RP hunting, you've done outside of Gaia.
Or even forums in general.
But I've done a LOT. What you aren't taking into account is that while Gaia has shrunken, based solely on numbers of active members, so has the rest of the overall RP scene Net-wide. Yeah, you've got some people out there playing Twilight themes, or Hunger Games, or any number of other popular s**t...But not NEARLY as many as you had years hence.
Back then, it was much more common...The hobby of writing had more of a "fanbase"...than it has now. Of course it's still going on, and always will be, but to even suggest that you have as many RPers now as you had back then is simply untrue.
Our perspective has narrowed, but that's true of everyone.

>.> Ok then.
Hewo slash. ^.^
At least you get what I was meaning.
And Heita... there are actually ******** all rules in this tournament, it is mostly based on common sense. Which should be mandatory in all that we do.
But because it is mostly our generation that have come in to it, I guess it might scare off people when they don't know anyone? I mean I only knew a few people when Hero dragged my a** into HoH. It was very intimidating at first.
Or maybe the fact that the new comers/ other groups of oldies, just aren't that interested in committing to a fight based tournament.

Darkest Silver I guess it might scare off people when they don't know anyone? I mean I only knew a few people when Hero dragged my a** into HoH. It was very intimidating at first. Generally I'm seeing this to be the case more often than not. New people come into an old, established group of static members and drifters and they don't know anyone... or they know one or two people and aren't exactly sure what to expect. And then someone like KB goes "oh man you said THIS ONE THING in the OOC I'm gonna rag on you for like 6 pages". ...and people wonder why the new players never stick around. >.>

Not just KB too many in the community act within that fashion. Superiority complexes abound.

Yerp. That is the honest truth.
where as we can be like...Stfu, most people don't know how to brush it off or ignore them. I remember threatening Fox in HoH because he was being a d**k. Got warned and just stopped talking to him.
Not my finest moment. sweatdrop
And yeah even the people who are considered nice come across as 'high and mighty' sometimes. which really puts unwanted pressure on new comers who aren't keen to write 5 paragraph posts or haven't really been rping for long.
Hehe Slash. ^.^ We have to have our characters fight! At some point in time.

Having a few antagonistic or trollish personalities definitely makes it harder to establish relations with newer roleplayers. Eventually it should be interesting if say 10 years from now how the landscape would be, change is inevitable sadly. Its just how the cookie crumbles.

Also, the problem with most of you who complain about no players and such is that you're imprisoned yourself in one thread. You're like babies locked in your cradle, not wanting to grow out of your diapers and pacifiers. You're comfortable and that's your single downfall of your so called stagnation.

No one is imprisoned or confined in anyway.
I may not do the bar-hopping antics of my past but I still frequent new threads with other characters.
Thing is... I am more or less focused on one character at a time. I like to fully develop said character through his interactions and establish his legacy to actual interaction. This gives them depth.
This also requires time and stability to a degree.
In order to give your character any meaningful interaction, you'd have to be in a thread for at least a few months due to the rate of most roleplays these days.
Sure I could time paradox them all over the place but leads to a problem of continuity for me.
So what ends up happening is I get stuck somewhere for months on end due to unforeseen plot twist and the like combined with real life hiccups and bam...a year goes by and Heita might've taken one or two figurative steps in the direction I wanted him to go.
This ideology I feel applies to most. You stay were you can develop and grow and that takes time because this is a hobby and people are inconsistent with it.

You contradicted your own statement. If it's a hobby and people are inconsistent, then that will only encourage you to do shorter term rps and at places with more frequent posting rates.
The only thing holding you back from doing that is, again, stubbornness to branch out and try new places or things. I swear, most of you are some introverted ********.
