From what I've read, I [b]fully[/b] agree with Tex on this one, since he seems to have the exact same perception of roleplaying as I do. It's also a reason why I don't write as much on this forum, anymore, ICs or OOCs. Unfortunately I feel like I have to, for this one and only time. From personal experience, I think collaborations [i]can[/i] and [i]have[/i] potential to be healthy for a roleplay, as I myself have done it before. Where the problem is likely coming from is the [b]excess[/b] amount of them, in this specific one. Not only are they [i]painstakingly long and most of the time boring to read,[/i] there also lies the risk of making someone feel left out/out of the loop, per se; we can all be adults and take it as you will, but [i]anyone[/i] and [b]everyone[/b] knows that feeling. Oh, and to be frank, the reason I've made this mistake of accidentally missing someone's post frequently is because of the collaboration posts confusing the living shit out of me. I've just been really humble about it, and fixed it quietly for those times. The issue with the whole [i]too-many-collaborations[/i] thing is that while plot acceleration is fine and dandy [i]in moderation, too much[/i] just really leads to even more confusion and more people feeling left out. So what's my take on these collborations? Lessen how frequently they're being made in this first place, [b]involve more people in them[/b], or simply put, [b]go make your own [u]collaboration[/u] on the collaboration site.[/b] I'm here to write on [b]Roleplayer Guild[/b] like I've done for years. Take my word for what you will. That's the last I'm saying on the matter, criticize my opinion all you want. I'm focused on writing the actual roleplay, not small talk.
