everyone knows i can ramble so i'll try and keep this as short as i can. i joined click on a whim. i joined because i wanted to join a pb game that wasn't based in a town full of the same generic faces touring on warped tour in a crappy band or working a minimum wage job. i joined because i wanted the creative freedom to play with styles, write interviews, do narratives, all of the stuff we love. i was not expecting to live. i don't know why or how but somehow nick stuck with me and people seemed to like him. i'll admit, i've been an avid reader of our anons for a while but in the recent weeks with school starting and taking on more shifts at work while i can, i haven't been around to participate that often aside from popping in (while logged in) here and there. from what i heard/skimmed, i was hurt on behalf of everyone singled out and targeted and it was completely unfair. part of why i enjoyed click was the fact that our ~anons were nice, supportive and encouraging even. i've been in communities where anons are harsh, cruel, and unfair. i've been ripped apart in anons for pb and celebrity games - even big anons. it's insulting and it's hard to come back from, even if people say "it's just the internet." bullying is bullying, and words hurt. click had this sense of unity, even when it came to anons, and i think that's something we need back because it's clearly gone. i'm not sure when or why it disappeared, but to have to see some of my favorite people leave this game has been hard because i enjoyed them so much, but it's also been hard on my character because they meant the world to him. yes, i'm talking about lefors. i'm not going to name names, but some people weren't there for nick when he needed them most and lefors was there to pick up the pieces no matter what, whether he approved of nick's decisions, the situation, anything, he was always there. he was a father figure and an older brother and to see him leave because of someone's immaturity and selfishness broke my heart ic and ooc. i didn't personally interact with lico in game aside from a few comments exchanged, but i always enjoyed his updates and for anyone to degrade the character or the person behind him was so absolutely ridiculous. the point of rp is to write, to escape reality for a little bit and enjoy developing a character and interacting with people on a creative level. i'm really hoping click makes a turnaround and gets back to that point. i miss the game that we were and i'm hoping that we all revert back to the unity we had before.
