When is the last time you played?
-
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.

@Ashkuri
Schadenfreude.
It’s easier than watching keeping up with telenovelas.
Camaraderie in that I’m not the only one in the world recovering from the worst of such places/people.
Nostalgia that I’m not the only one who also had some incredibly lovely experiences with some places/people.
Confirmation I did the right thing by moving on to other hobbies.Human complexity, in short.
-
2+ years ago. Nothing has really sounded that interesting or it uses systems In bit keen on (async), and I don’t have much time for it anymore.
Ceterum censeo Carthaginem esse delendam
-
I haven’t played since Empire, but haven’t actively pursued and stuck with it since Arc shut down.
I’ve tried a few ares games, but I just can’t seem to stick to them. Asynchronous RP is great if it works for you, but it doesn’t for me. My experience is also someone forgets to pose and after two days of waiting I can’t be bothered to continue.
-
Today! I’m still trying to work myself back into the frame of mind where daily RP is the norm, and it can sometimes be something of a challenge. But I’m still having fun, and while this might just be unwarranted optimism I feel like that won’t change any time soon.
