The Blog is Dead
It seems that my expectations from you are too high. I can only see PB doing anything on the blog, Ankan seems to have left it, maybe he’s busy or something but as for the rest I think it’s only that you think my expectations too high and unreasonable.
In any case, this makes me seriously think about changing things and soon. Most likely I’ll ease the depth, speed, requirement and effort I put into groups as LoW and more focus going back to my previous style of play, not giving it too much thought or concentration. I need to find somewhere/someone else to read my work too since you isn’t interested any more. This will most likely be the first step towards disbanding the group and then finally leave it and continue on my own instead. If I can’t get anything from you, we are both useless to each other in my eyes.
I will most likely write Project 3 part two but it will be put under yet another password only given to PB since he is the only one showing any interest or enthusiasm whatsoever in my work. You others have clearly stated by your inactivity that you think the blog and everything I work for is bull shit.
You have been warned,

This is very sad indeed and I hope this situation will change, since I do not wish to lose a thing I like alot =).
Its quite disappointing to see that noone writes even when a friend ask you to do it, and I can not really see any excuse why you cant write since the posts have been out for a week almost, unless some great tragedy have occured for you…
well whining doesnt really help if you dont have the will/commitment to write.
Saying that interest has been lost isn’t quite true, but as you know I’ve been reluctant to write on the blog from the start. And since the protected posts started, I’ve lapsed more towards the ‘read, don’t post’ policy as this makes me feel a bit alienated. Also, as I’ve said before, unless I have something constructive or meaningful to say I’d rather say nothing.
If I thought your work and what you do is bullshit then I would have left the group, obviously.
It’s been the same for all of you. You have had the same possibilities as the rest. And with your attitude and your ‘policy’ then it even strengthens the reason to protect posts from you and Foppa and everybody who doesn’t give a shit about my work. You are not more alienated than the rest since the conditions been the same for all of you and I’ve given you more hints than I would give anyone else since you are more oblivious than the rest about me and how things work with me. So I would say that you have left yourself out with not trying and caring and instead doing the mule-response. “I won’t do it, because you want me to do it.”
Maybe you are right, I demand too much of my players, if this is the reason, then I will not put down as much effort to you or my work either if that’s how you feel.
This though will bring the role-playing sooner or later to an end rather than to develop it.
But in my eyes, that’s only an excuse and everybody can always contribute something to everything someone writes. I know this since I do this on my friend’s blogs. Even though I don’t always have something “constructive” to say it’s always meaningful. No, that reason is rather lame. But if that’s how you want it, then that’s how it will be.
I thought you all didn’t think like that, but I guess I was wrong.
This doesn’t change the fact that I feel left out, and I haven’t decided to refuse anything. I haven’t been able to figure out what ‘it’ is, it’s that simple. I have looked over the posts from the last couple of months looking for ‘hints’ a couple of times, however playing detective like this is not something I’m willing to devote a whole lot of time to. I’m interested in your work, but not enough to pour over the same posts over and over trying to puzzle out your wishes. If you want something, you should ask for it. But I’m sure you know that’s what I feel already.
Anyway, when something turns up that I’m unwilling to try or do, you will be the first to know. From how you keep saying that I don’t care in one phrasing of words or another I’d think you were just trying to provoke me.
Wheter you demand too much or not is a matter of opinion. I guess the whole protected post thing is only a concern to me. I don’t know how much effort it took the others to figure it out, but I’ve spent as much time as I have been willing to trying to figure it out. So to me this is asking too much, it seems. As for posting on the blog, that’s not a lot to ask for. I suppose that our view of just what is meaningful and not is different in this regard.
In the end, how much effort you put into anything is up to you. I appreciate and respect most everything you do when it comes to the rpg, it’s an interesting and highly detailed world which I like. I think it would be a shame to see quality start dropping.
I don’t understand what ‘way’ you are implying that “I want it”, it feels like you’re jumping to conclusions.
Think like what? About posting?
