I need to get this off my chest...

[Guu]

I’m sorry if this offends people. No one needs to read this. I doubt my opinion will effect anything in the long run. I just need to speak my mind as everything as of late has taken a severe toll on me. Just write these off as the rantings of an absurdly petty person if you must.

I’ve just been so scared about how things have been going lately. The recent base assault on NB scares the hell out of me. The LAW people decided it had to be a surprise attack OOC as much as it was IC and then everyone treats Sasuke like shit for being stressed out that all his storyline plans have been put out to wash because a bunch of other members wanted to ruin everything for funsies. Now the whole thing has become a gigantic unplanned clusterfuck. No wonder people have been forced to drop out from the sheer stress of the thing, abandoning whatever plans they might have had.

Not to mention how quick a lot of people are to pull out banishment circles. Some members in the base assault were playing up banishment like it’s just a walk in the park, a fun little adventure, when the only way out can permanently taint your character and future storylines; especially if you’re good aligned. People argue that forcing people to go this route is okay because it makes the story more interesting in their eyes.

That’s the scary thing about this; people are so comfortable with forcing people into things. I’m terrified this might become the standard. I’m scared I’ll forever be questioning the motives of the friends I’ve made on this site, that trying to make a difference as a faction leader will just be an onslaught of constant paranoia and stress as anyone could just take all my work away from me in an instant.

Whatever happened to writing for fun?
