I eternally regret not watching this thread. I had to read all of these posts from about page four to this page, page thirty two. :' I was having trouble concentrating. Anyways, I am here to post again.
I don't really mind if General comes back or not anymore. Well, not yet at least. I am agreeing with Nemena on this one, because right now I don't think we deserve to get General back until these other issues are settled out.
But honestly, us humans can be swayed and manipulated so easily, my mind was changed in one day just from some words... I advertised in Flourite last night and I got about five or six members for my literate and mapped RP. So just because my needs have been fulfilled I stop complaining. See? I should have just calmed down from the beginning and waited a week before replying. And I wonder how many of the replies here were simply effected by what the people had read before they replied? You just have to take a step back and view things from every direction, which is extremely hard.
It is hard to view things from every point of view. It truly is. After trying I found out that I felt really bad for the mods. I don't mind if they called someone something mean to be honest. (If that is true) The mods are so little and the community has for greater numbers. If I were being bombarded with provocative words or something I would probably just loose it. It is hard to keep peace of mind in that kind of situation and I commend all the mods for keeping a level head in all of this and speaking calmly. (This is what I have gathered) This is why these people are our mods. They dedicate everything to this RP. I've realized some new things after going through every comment on here.
But here is something that has irritated me within all these comments. So much is being repeated and I don't think everyone is replying before seeing what others have posted before them. You can't make a reply without seeing what has already been said and actually thinking clearly. Some of these replies have irritated me. I don't think some people understand all the details of this situation.
As with communication with the mods? Well I have very clearly understood now that this is a test and that the mods are reading all these comments and I have understood for a long time that they care. I wish we still had the monthly news threads but there is probably a reason behind the absence. And now we are going to have a summer party!
As for advertising, I was mad about it too. Movies don't work that well, I only ever got one member from a movie advertisement. But walking around to every map where there are a lot of people in range and advertising for a while really works. I sent out all my members to different maps and that sometimes works. When you gather in one place and talk more about your RP that works too.
But I do agree that Flourite seems to be a bit lonelier now, though I can't judge since I'm always in my private map. XP
For now this is all I have to say. When I was reading all of those comments I had things I wanted to say but I forgot what they were so maybe they aren't important anymore.
