I still check to see if there's any new posts on here, so I haven't exactly forgotten about this pride and "ran off to ITr"

To that, I'm not 'running to a new game', I see it 'running back to my old home', as clich'e or sad as that may sound. FH just isn't for me.

^
I'm not a sociable person, truly.

I'll be honest in saying roleplaying hasn't been of my interest lately any more; too much IC crap going into OOC.

I'll also be honest in agreeing that maybe Najuru maybe be "better off to let go." It WAS fun for a while, and I still have fond memories; if we prolong this, when others seem disinterested, including myself -- I won't make up an excuse for me not showing activity -- could our roleplays suffer with this also? The lack of heart and passion in our writing, I believe, shows in every word. That is, IF we can even muster a word into a post if we don't have the heart to be there.

Of course, this is just how I view it at the moment when it's late (In other words, I'm speaking for myself here, not saying everyone else feels the same, it's just how I'm 'viewing the situation'). This might just me be rambling, in fact I'm pretty sure it is. But...

Another thing that comes to attention, and I believe this should be mentioned, as, I believe, this may also be affecting the pride; (At least in-game, anyway. This is an in-game pride, after all.) the atmosphere of FH in general.
I don't know about you guys, but I hardly ever go on FH now. Don't like it, won't like it. I'll be lying if I said I didn't hold a grudge to this game, but that's not truly the problem. I don't feel I have to say what is the main problem for FH, so I shan't. I'll be damned if I wasn't the only one with the same issue.

If I go onto a game where, to be frank, I somewhat loathe, to roleplay, which could be done on the forum or on MSN, my muse ultimately rests itself in peace.

Again, this post may have just me been rambling nonsense, but again, it's late, this is just my two cents. Or half a cent. Whichever suits.

A big ol' DERP to the srsbrsns post up there. ._.

Should it not make sense, just say, I'll explain. Ddgshayiopdsd gomen OTL

DAMN I FORGOT CRAP. WIP POST. D<

Wipped stuff;

ANOTHER THING that comes to mind, is that I also believe that many are strongly looking forward to the game Arokai, or.. just me, anyway... but I doubt it butY'KNOW. A lot of my hope is going into that game now. Or... what I mean is;
IF NOT JUST ME, if others are also strongly waiting for AK, they might be... uhh. *think of expression* uhm... Putting the sword down mid-battle? OTL
Y'know... "sitting on it for a while"? ._.;

I hope you know what I mean when I mention AK and 'hope/belief' in that, which includes with muse. >3<

--

AHA.  I know one way to put it; "With all these new games coming out, it's personally leaving me on the edge with excitement, unable to settle down and return to a calmer state of mind." (Saying things irl is so much more simplier) OTL

OKAY. I think that's what I mean. ...I mean, I know what I mean, but iunno if it came across ;w;'

[Ahidi01]

I myself have to agree with Soul on this one..I personally dispise FH...it's just not my style of in-game..too many issues which I won't go into details to save myself going on a rant.
Every time I went on Fh & tried to think of rp plots etc it just bummed me down.

Just my 2 cents.

[Bladeliger]

Y'know.. at the risk of sounding like a total ass.

Get over it.

This 'I hate FH' BS is starting to piss me off. Its also a piss poor excuse. If I put this on ITr itd be the SAME thing.

To quote a friend, a very close friend, 'We joined IT to RP, not to /join IT/ or /IT/. Same thing with Feral Heart.

Why should the game matter? It's the RP that strengthen ties to friends and characters. Was IT perfectly asthtetic? You had box faced wolves, yet people STILL RPed them. So whats the big freaking deal abou FH? Theres nothing.

We have our own maps, you can permanently turn off the arrival spam, so whats the problem? That you just cant let go of IT. Are you guys THAT material that youd choose a GAME  over friends simply b/c you 'missed it' or it 'looked better to me'?

Najuru is a Feral Heart pride now. Get over it. Deal with it, whatever.

[HIGURASHI Alice]

If stating what you believe is to be an ass, than so be it. But I didn't see you being as one, so no worries there. ;b

And, whether it's a "piss poor excuse" seemingly to you, it is a fact to me. Atmosphere is a huge deal for me.
I don't care about the graphics or design, just the "feel of the game", again I mentioned about roleplaying on a forum or MSN, at least that way the pride doesn't 'die' fully. ^^

Another thing, however; don't get me wrong, I'm not trying to say "Screw the game, just rp on the forum/msn", I'm just giving, although not really giving, moreso reminding, that there are other ways in roleplaying. Just as those find it easier to roleplay in-game, there are those who find it easier to roleplay, uh, unin-game? Of course, I remind myself this is a in-game pride, hmhm. Either way, I have been in-game, and no one seems to be online. Even on the "set-dates when we're supposed to roleplay", I don't find people there, including yourself. (Not that I'm saying anything about that really... or anythig mean about it. I mean.)

Also, I'd also like to get this across; "Choosing a game over friends", No, just no. I'm peronally not 'choosing a game over friends'. There's only two people in this pride that I also talk to on MSN. There are those who just find it so damn DIFFICULT to get in-game and roleplay. There are other methods of keeping a friendship then roleplaying.

I'll be honest in saying I find that somewhat offensive to be called a 'material over games and friendship'. Even if I'm not confident, I try to be there for my friends when they need me. Not just for some story-telling and listening.

Ah, I once again forgot. ^^

As you said, this is an in-game pride, mhm. I find out that in-game just isn't for me~! So whether this pride stays or goes, I suppose that I shall also, leave. I'm beating down my insecurities here and directly saying what I feel, please understand. ^^

Perhaps there is one thing for me to confess, although it's not truly a crime, I believe. "I pretty much stayed with Najuru just to keep in-touch with everyone. Not to really roleplay. To just leave for me would seem like a traiterous thing to do, so I shan't."

As a pride-goer, I'm a horrible member. But I'm otherwise a pretty good clingy/stalkerish person, huh? 8'D

[Ahidi01]

Well to once again agree with Soul...I've never been a big in-game rper but I did it none the less to not dissapoint others, but sometimes I simply never get the time to actually get in-game because of real life stuff.
& for the record, I find it very offensive to be labled by you Blade as a 'material person who chooses game over friendship' It's like you know absolutely nothing about me.
Oh & a tip that would of made Najuru still strong, Taking a leaf out of Voodoo's book & allowing forum rp aswell as in-game rp to give those with limited free time more options to beable to rp.

That is about all I can say without getting offensive, since if I spoke my mind at this time, the content of my reply would gurentee a ban from the forum.

[FinalJump]

I'm going to finally speak, since it seems like I can't do much else than be a mediator like always.

I was the one who said that we joined IT for a game to rp on, not for /IT/.

Also. As simply as I can say this:

I don't even see what's so wrong about FH, and why everyone's so antsy about AK. What happened to rping? Why are we wasting our time with politics? Why do we need to find the best place to rp, and not just have fun? I'm an atmospheric rper too, but really. We have to step outside our comfort bubble sometimes. We might be surprised by what we find.

So many of Najuru's old upper brass, the founding members, are gone, or don't seem to care. Or, fall out because of their view on roleplaying. All I can say is.... what the he11 happened...?

I can only do so much on my own, and I went far beyond my own bubble for Najuru. Tried, like Blade has. My outburst up a few posts was anger at the sudden pessimism, because I /just/ got some air cleared with an old friend that some drama went down with, and I wanted to be /happy/ for a day. Because if anyone felt how much my heart hurt of all of it, they'd probably feel broken. And believe me... I am broken, inside. I don't need to explain why, because I'd be going on all day. And someone would just go "You're so self-absorbed".

So, congratulations guys. I now have a solid reason for turning my back on Najuru. Hope you're happy, and have a very nice day. Because I know I won't.

All the work we did, all the friendship, all the moments... they have all come down to this? Have we really forgotten so much? Yes, I suppose we have. So now I play Russian Roulette with my words, waiting with anxiety that someone will say something rude back, to push me over the edge. And why do I spout nonesense? I don't know. Maybe that it'll do some good, though even I see what little it can do.

This is why Najuru deserves to finally rest.

Because the members will never come together, like the old days. The old days we yearn for, so much that we can't even look past them. Pathetic creatures of habit; all of us.

There. Now point fingers, and allow me to observe the human game.

[Bladeliger]

FJ's right.

We will never come together again. I allow Forum rping, I just dont have a seperate thread for it. Never said you couldnt forum RP.

I don't want to let Najuru go. Not yet... IU feel like it hasnt had a fair chance to try.

As FJ said, its the RP that we should focus on, not the game itself.

[HIGURASHI Alice]

Spoiling your day wasn't my intention, nor shall I try to point a finger or act rude. owo

And I agree for me to also be a pathetic creature of habit, also, no worries. ^^ -- Edit here; I realised that may have implied something rude here, but I didn't mean that. owo

Hrm, I really don't know what else to say ~ Well, there's nothing left for me to say. XD I said my opinion, and it seemed to have saddened/angered some, it's a shame but... I truly didn't mean to.

Also... I actually joined I.T for a game, when I first joined. D| I didn't even know what roleplaying truly was back then.. x3;

Also, about "what's so wrong about FH"; I'd suggest going into the Game and Opinions area and look through the thread "Oh look, another rant thread..."

It explains a few things, and why I personally have more hopes for AK. ^^;

-- NINJA'D BY TEH BLADE.

Hmhm, true. Focusing primarily on the roleplay, rather than the game, hmhm... I again believe it's easier said than some. I'm willing to give it a try, if so allowed, to roleplay with the pride. Set time and date, I'll try to be there~!

[Headcrabmelon]

As soul said, and as I've already said blade. I'll stick with this pride wherever it heads, as well as my friends 83 I don't have much to say about the IT vs FH. It just confuses me, and I'm not going to get butthurt over it. As for RP I can do either, I will admit I have more time for forum, but I'm flexible and willing c:

But I don't want Naju to die, and I'll say that clear. Najuru is old voodoo. IT or not, it IS the Voodoo memories by characters and history, atleast that's how I see it D8

[monstrous]

Let's all unwind our tangled panties and chill for a second.

"Also... I actually joined I.T for a game, when I first joined. D| I didn't even know what role playing truly was back then.. x3;" exactly. I joined Voodoo to get friends, then lo and behold; out popped Najuru! If Najuru ends, I won't lie and say I'm in agonizing despair. I haven't role played my characters involved with Najuru in a good two plus months. I haven't visited this thread in more than four weeks. I'm not a dedicated member, because there's nothing here to keep me excited. I'm not saying every chick in the pride has to get raped or something for me to like it again, because that'll just take us back to square one - of despair and doom and self-centered plots.

I bet that didn't make sense.

By the way,
this is not a venting thread.
this is a pride thread.
Not. A. Venting. Thread.


"Najuru is old voodoo. IT or not, it IS the Voodoo memories by characters and history, at least that's how I see it D8" Kelsie, I love you and respect your opinion; so please don't take this offensively - 'Old Voodoo' is exactly that, memories. And Najuru would have to do a lot to live up to those memories.


Maybe that's what we need to focus on, mere OOC meetings together in game. Voodoo didn't role play quite often; we just socializied... and we had a blast.
