Hey, I don't mean to be a pill but there's been a few trends here that have been confusing me.

First off, someone posts an unplanned, spontanious post and it takes players several days to jump in and reply. Even though they are creating new threads and leaving an empty one neglected for several days, weeks in certain cases. Now, I admit I don't always jump into these because I like to offer others a chance to themselves. And sometimes I feel like the poster might have certain other players in mind when they make a post, so I wait. But I'm really curious why this is happening mostly because I can't really come up with a logical explanation.

Secondly, some characters only seem to appear around other characters. Sometimes there are reasons for these things (like workplace, living place, etc.). Sometimes there's the whole 'people like to be around those they know in strange places' part of human thought that can explain these things. Now I try my best to make my characters interact with everyone and I know I don't always succeed mostly because of who is on when and also that sometimes I feel it would be highly inappropreate to stick my character into a post that's taking place in Lelouch's apartment (can't find a reason for them to be there and be IC). But I'm kind of wondering what everyone else's reasons are for this....

Thirdly, sometimes when I jump a character of mine into a post I get one, maybe two replies and then its over. I'm really confused by these ones. I don't know if the other person hates, me, is too busy, or whatever.

So uh, yeah. If someone could explain this for me, I'd be greatful.

(edit: I fucked up and accidently attacked someone. Yes I do that and yes I am sorry.)

	Yeah but I've tried to play with people before and had disinterest expressed you can't force people to play with you and if you do then you make it an obligation and it's no fun for anyone. Even if you do make a list doesn't mean people are interested in your character. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

I know that, I understand where you're coming from. It's not like a definitive list, it's more like just a brainstorming session so people can get an idea of what others are looking for storyline wise for their personal characters.

For example, if we had more villians or people generally doing bad things, Deadpool and Rubi could put their mercenary agency to good use having people hire them to do this that and the other. Stuff like that.

Just because people might not be interested in character A, doesnt mean they can't be in a storyline or post with character A. Just like some characters shouldnt just hang around with characters they are interested in all the time. It's never fun to be left out just because somebody isn't interested in the character/series somebody is from.

	You could try a list but if people don't really smell what you're steppin in then the responses are lackluster at best and too far and between. >.> And how can I play with you when you barely ever show up online. I mean I've wanted to talk to run ideas with a bunch of people but they are either hidden or lied about their IM (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	I think an issue with the IM thing is that the IMs posted on the Claimed post are all in lower caps. I think AIM might be case sensitive, if it is, we need to start including the proper caps. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	I dont think it is I have typed in the names and they changed then to the correct spacing and caps. People in this comm just lurk for personal reasons. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	I havent been on aim much because I'm not on my personal computer. I dont know about other people, but if Im not on aim I'm all down with gettting messages via email or a comment left on my journal. (Reply to this)(Parent)

	Or, in my case, are lurking because of a glitch in meebo that makes my names sign on invis. :\| Idk what's going on, tbh. But I've been around lately. (Reply to this)(Parent)
