When is the last time you played?
-
I put “over 1 year ago.” I’ve had maybe 5 scenes total since March, 2025, where I would basically cgen a character, play them for a scene, then never come back. Regularly RPing? Roughly around July, 2024 according to a log from BeipMU. Sometimes I just create characters and never play them. I usually blame how busy I am with work and children and family, but tbh there’s some kind of spark missing that prevents me from getting hooked into a game.

For my ADHD ass, its the lack of games. Like I switched to Star Wars hard-core after [political event] and now gotta build star wars to punch nazis. By the time its ready, will I have finished trending towards Cyberpunk that it is now a Shadowrun game? Will I watch Shogun and be back on track for L5R? Will there be robutts thar push me to Battletech?
Will Aegypt Mu ever spontaneously appear, for Mum-Rah?
And like, I want the thing now. Will pounce on it now. Have to wait risks wanting to pounce on other thing before I do the first. So the only solution is to build everything and be ready to go when the urge strikes.

Went from 2+ years ago to Within the last week thanks to The Becoming, Aegis Company, and Empty Night.

Technically it’s only been a few months since I wrote a pose at a game, though it was the first time in about 4 months prior to that so I picked around the 6 month mark. I tried that Retromux place for a bit but it didn’t really stick with me.
For me it’s also the lack of games that are really grabbing my interest.

For those who haven’t RP’d in several years, what keeps you checking in/weighing in on the forum? I’m referring here to the forum parts specifically about MUSHing and RP, not the social/ooc parts like RL support, pets, books, dead people, etc.

The possibly vain hope that someday life will settle down enough that I actually have the time and spoons to play again.
I also stay involved in things because of Ares, though I don’t think that really counts as “playing” per se.

What would you want to play, if those conditions were achieved?
-
I play every day. It’s all thanks to Ares. If it wasn’t for the web portal and async scenes, I’d likely have been forced to leave the hobby.

2 years and the occasional hot gos about some of the non fun dumpster fires from my mush time. That and occasional post from the fun dumpster fires that I miss that are still in the business.

Sometimes I like talking about this stuff, and I would tell a someone that I’ve smoked crack long before I told them about MU*s.
also a tiny guttering spark of hope that maybe one day it will be fun

Oh, I don’t know. My MU tastes have always been pretty narrow. That’s why I tend to run my own games

Pure aspiration that one day the stars will align.

It keeps me connected to something I used to enjoy.
