I made the decision to work every day I can until I head back to school in order to pay off my immediate debts. Four hours into this decision I already regret it immensely.

Bio

Simply a writer who enjoys working with others.

What, that isn't enough? Okay, fine.

Let's see, I've been roleplaying for... eight years now, I think is the number. Hard to remember, it's been so long. Of course, the first few years of my roleplaying I'd rather not remember (Adriane was great though), but I feel I've developed into a competent enough writer as to not completely embarrass myself. Group roleplays, one on ones, anything you can think of I've probably done it. I'm in college currently, the RA (Resident Assistant) of my wing of the building, so not only do I have class but an around-the-clock job too. I love writing with others, getting to know their characters and see them develop, while developing my own. Some of my proudest moments have happened when characters of other people are influenced by my own, and change because of it. I'm a bit of a planner, as I usually write with arcs in mind, and an overarching story.

I was here before the Great Collapse, and when the transition happened I made an account but never used it. The Great Collapse happened during one of my lower times, and I couldn't bring myself to keep roleplaying. Now I'm back though, with new experience and new ideas. I'm ready to go.

@Sol GrimNever will happen mate, I can tell you that. The color I love has too strong of a grip on me.
So just as an update I believe we're about halfway overall through the slew of collabs this round? Some are obviously getting done more quickly than others, some are waiting on previous ones, but overall I'd say we're actually halfway done, so. Blow your noisemakers everyone.
@AtrophyWell I'm a big Fire Emblem fan so I'll take that.
@AtrophyHow is that? I'm... honestly not sure what to think of it, not from what I've heard.
@Sol GrimYou must be psychic mate. I'm actually playing Tomb Raider right now, and from there I'm going to go on to the Witcher series. I've always wanted to do full play throughs of those games.
@Mr Allen JI know you didn't not put me in the first post.
I'm still not used to the way Battle.net works, but I'm pretty sure you can add me for PC through TheDarklight#11325

Please, add me, because I would love new people to play with! My mains are Soldier:76, D.Va, Mercy, and Reinhardt for the most part. I like playing Reaper and Genji every so often, but not nearly as much as the other four. I'm a mean Mercy, my best Overwatch so far is how I got 25 eliminations with her one match, while still keep my supporting up at the same time. It was pretty great.
Just a random update to my video gaming friends, I finished my playthrough of the Assassin's Creed series two days ago. I then spent the past two days starting and beating Uncharted 4.

I, uh. Need to find something new to play now.
@NuttsnBoltsDemonic stuff is always fun.

So what I'm about to go on about isn't exactly bitching, more just me expressing something I'm paranoid about. I'm hoping some of you all will get it, because it's a little... odd.

Basically, I'm worried about meta-gaming in a backassward way, especially with the point that my current roleplay is at. Basically, I love doing very story-driven roleplays, especially the ones I GM. I want there to be an end goal in mind, and I want all the different threads that other people add to tie together into the overall plot. That's not to say I'm railroading everyone, which is another paranoia of mine; I want people to be able to breathe with their characters and truly add in a significant way to everything, but that's another issue entirely.

Anyway, with the point we've reached in my current roleplay, the group ended up going together (for the most part) to meet a character who is blah blah blah the most tied in character blah blah blah major ally blah blah blah exposition blah. Basically, she's a plot character, and meeting her for the first time allowed her to catch everyone up to speed on the things going on in one fell swoop; some of the greater antagonists, what they've done, more torrential exposition. Anyway, funnily enough she did this already to another two characters who were by themselves at the time, so the rest of the group hadn't heard the information. That meant a lot of it was repeated, but I had to find a way to make it engaging again and not copy what I had her say before, but again, another problem.

Anyway, we're finally getting to the paranoia at hand, I kept getting worried I wasn't explaining things enough. It had a little to do with the fact I had explained it all through her once before, yeah, but I was mostly paranoid that I was unintentionally holding things back because I was assuming people already knew it because I knew it. So yeah, it was some backassward metagaming foul I was trying to avoid; rather than using information the actual players have but their characters didn't, I was worried I was withholding information the characters should know because I was assuming the players themselves would know it, which was a trainwreck and a half piled on top of a beached whale.

I tried avoiding it by actually showing it to a person who is planning on joining the roleplay but hasn't yet, seeing if it was enough to get them caught up to speed. Only when they had no questions did I actually feel comfortable posting the roleplay equivalent of a recap episode, but still every once in awhile I find myself grinding my teeth about it, which is why I posted about it here.

I hope that makes even a tiny bit of sense, but it's honestly so ridiculous I couldn't help but share. One of my roleplayers called me neurotic once, and I suppose I just really fit the bill.


Ever since I beat the game last night I've had this stuck in my head. Just something catchy about it for me.
