lol dude stop being so melodramatic

As someone who NRPs a lot, I am going to tell you that you are rushing everything. NRPs are overall a lot slower than traditional RPs, its not unheard of for them to take a week to get anywhere. I've had RPs where they sit dead for like a week give or take before they explode/gain a lot of attention.

Also, get used to the fact that your own RPs will die, all RPs die at some point, its an inevitability. Circle of life and all, don't let it put you down.

I'm not really considering myself being melo-dramatic, I'm just not going to waste my time, keeping this alive and keeping my hopes up would be.

A legitimate example of this would be just last week on a different RP site, I booted up an RP I had spent 3-4 daysworking on.A totally original Sci-Fi RP with in depth detail and lore.I stayed up late one or two nights even to work on it a bit.
I kept it alive for 7 days total, so a week.
The RP site itself had 2.5 million registered users and on average 500 on at one time.
I got 1 signup and 1 tag.

Then, when I lost hope and killed it, I get flooded with messages and posts like yours, "Oh be patient and keep it alive and give us a chance to do this and blah-blah-blah"
I'm sorry but the reality of it is is that what you described rarely happens.

So what I've learned, other than NEVER EVER pour so much time and heart into an RP like I did last week ever again, is that if it doesn't light up in a few days, don't expect much if anything.

Again, I'm not trying to be melodramatic, just realistic.

Okay...

Gonna go ahead and say this because I would see myself as dishonest to fail to communicate with people I make commitments with.

I got your PM only yesterday. I haven't responded till now because yesterday I had to work overtime and passed out after being home for a couple of hours.

I was originally planning on saying I'm concerned about this RP becoming a nation RP because they just aren't my cup of tea. I was under the pretense we would just be creating a single character and that would be that.

Though this thought seems of little consequence now, had I still been interested in a nation RP I would agree with @ClocktowerEchos's comment.

I get that you spent a lot of time on making the RP, but these things can take some time. Especially in the case of advanced level RP's. I know it can seem disheartening seeing as the site has millions of members, but I'm willing to bet most of those are the casual RPer's who sit around all day roleplaying as foxes having sex with each other. (Viewed one of those RP's once out of curiosity, not gonna make that mistake again :p)

Hell, I know plenty of GM's who just say "Hey I'll give it another try some time later and see if I get any interest then".

Anyway, not trying to hold ya down and spit crap in your face, I just hate to see a GM get discouraged.

Well, given the risks, we'd best shut down every new roleplay on this site. >.>

Woah well that sucks, I was just busy this weekend

Well, seems like the thread title's a good description for my roleplaying days. I think I'll be living in spam for a while, when I do log in.

Congratulations, this roleplay had a small, but existent part in it. ;)
