Razing Myself
Raze
1. To level to the ground; demolish.
2. To scrape or shave off.
3. Archaic. To erase.
...wow spoilers ahead.
Someone's already asked, so I thought I'd offer an explanation to those that are observant enough to find this.
Yes, I posted up the beginnings of a new story on the swcrp called "Raze". The events of this story will revolve another incident that happened at the same time as Ricardys's attack against Stormwind.
And, yes, as of right now I am not certain how this story will end. But something will likely change during the events. ((As a result of this, most of my characters' appearances in game should likely be considered ooc until I finish writing this.))
Someone wanted to know if this was my way of killing off one of my characters. I have to confess, I haven't decided yet. I began writing this in a fit of frustration with the original intention of killing off all of my characters. Yes, all of them.
I've made little secret that I am not enjoying the angst-filled RP that seems to dominate right now. As a result of my dissatisfaction, I've made a concentrated effort to bring more lighthearted RP to the table. Not necessarily slapstick silliness, but something besides one character moping around all the time or constantly wanting to kill / be killed by someone else. You know, being proactive instead of reactive.
As a result, I'm being completely ignored now. Even players I used to be able to count on for an amusing evening of RP are silent, with few exceptions. I've suspected for awhile that I've somehow been blackballed by the RP community in general, but I told myself that it was all just me being paranoid again. Just a figment of my imagination.
Now I am convinced of it.
I don't know what I did or didn't do. No one's told me, as far as I know. But I'm regularly and routinely being overlooked (not a gnome joke) in favor of more dramatic, angsty, wrist-slashing goodness.
So I started out in 'Raze' with a "if they want angst, I'll give them angst!" mentality. Originally, there would be no survivors. Now I'm not so certain that is the path I want to take. After all, it does look like a path of no return, doesn't it?
I don't really want to leave RP. Solo PvE is boring me to tears (those who keep track of such things might notice that my characters' level progressions have totally stalled out). PuGs are getting frustratingly hard to deal with with my thinning patience. Regular raiding is right out, as far as I am concerned. And don't even get me started on PvP.
And I can't leave WoW. I don't have anything else to do. And that would completely eliminate anything resembling a social life I have.
So the story must continue; the events have already taken place, after all. And not even I am sure how it will end.
