@Kristia
This has been going on for nearly half a year... I don't think the current month or season has to do with anything... And before you accuse me of being impatient, I've been pretty dang patient thus far. Just saying...

Smash through the blocks that bar your way; No time for fear, just let it all fall away; Nobody believes in me and you, Just look at the way they stare; So what if we live in a walled garden, As long as I've got you then I don't care!

You think I don´t know that?

I have been trying to keep the others active, be it by talking, questioning, even pestering them to post. If I could, but I have limited time since I´m also in classes, (I´m currently in class right know).

What I can say is that some of the users have been busier than ever and I give them the benefit of the doubt.

BUT, there are others who have used their cards too many times and it is exhausting, bothersome and irritating already.

In the end, Patience is a virtue, something I must learn too.

Have you ever crossed the line between sanity and madness? You would be amazed by what lies beyond the fog..

Perhaps an explanation is in order...

When I sit down to make a post for ATWAG, I don't just make one post, I make 6-10. I have to make a subpost for everything I'm involved in. Now, making one post isn't too bad, and takes about 15 minutes on average. The problem comes when I have to sit down for two hours at a time for every time I post. That's two hours of reading, creating, and typing. To be honest, it's exhausting, and it feels like I'm no longer having fun. Instead, it feels more like a chore. I remember when I used to eagerly await the next post, but now I dread the thought of having to perform this two hour process every time.

Why don't I give up some characters and focus on my own? Well that's what happens when you are a plot leader. You have to flesh out the world. I can't just half-heartedly make npcs. At the same time, some of my characters are ones that I used to actually enjoy RPing with, but they are quickly becoming plot characters too, leaving me with so little will to continue. Heck, my main RP character has become little more than a punching bag so that I can make plot for others.

In the time I have not posted, I have really tried to find a way to make it bearable again, but there is no immediate solution. The fact is, I favor reactionary RPing over plot creation, and in ATWAG, I have virtually none of it.

All this is not to say I don't want to post, it's just that it's very tiring and time consuming. I get that people are waiting, but every time I sit down to post, I feel burned out, and even then I still try, but it's gotten to the point where I just can't unless something changes.

@S1
Hmm... That seems to provide some insight.

But as I did say to Kristia via Steam, I really don't want this to be a big deal. I just can't wait for so long without something happening. I'd rather be doing something else. And, heck, I do understand a lot of what you're saying S1. I've been through a number of ruts in my time. Time and again, I've just felt like the one thing I do for fun has become a chore. Which is probably a reason why I wanna stop with the waiting. Be it through adding more characters that are disconnected from my duo's story or just by simply leaving.

@TRXD

Believe me, I have not forgotten people are waiting on me. A day has not gone by where I haven't felt guilt for not posting. -_-;

I think what I need to do is get my main four more involved or more engaged with the plots they are in. Back in season 1, I was really involved and every action brought a reaction. It was fun. I need to bring things back around and get back into the reactionary mindset.

*phases into existence* A man may have a way to make the burden lighter, but it is not a favorable way. This man knows this for the plot is long and full of terrors. A man recommends a timeline of events past, present, and a future. What that future may be is decided by the many faced god. This one is certain that a man will understand what that god is. This man, however, must go now as his watch has begun again. *Phases out of existence*

@Wriggle

Actually, that's not the hard part. The hard part is me just no longer being involved in much, thus removing what I liked most about RPing. The plots come easy, especially since I tend to let the plot adapt to the RPers. The issue is that I can't just be a plot maker, I need to be involved too. If that happened, I would gladly accept the burden of plot managing. :p

I RETURN FROM THE DEAD!!!

And I have a plan!

I'll attempt to be these characters:

Mario Mario

Luigi Mario

Smithy

Fawful

If all of them can't be chosen, I'll just get back on Uberhero

Edit: I just came back because I really wanted to come back...

To me, everything happened in comparison to F.N.A.F 2 and 3. It was a party. There was much going on. Then... everything vanished. Reduced to one. The only things left from the past are illusions...
