Yeah it's difficult to really gauge activity without an re:tags system and no activity tracking posts by you guys, so all I have to go on is the comm tags and whatever was submitted for A/C without digging through the network looking for threads, and I'm... so far from being that invested HAHA that's too much work just let me die. I just never see you guys around and it does get worrisome, especially when you're both really important castmates to me and I never get the chance to interact. We never seem to be on the same page with general assumptions either, which I've tried multiple times to work out between everyone.
As for the ship, I think it's handled better on Sharrkan's end than on Yamuraiha's and I am in the process of writing up some crit on that as well-- I don't really need to go into it here, I think, but just to put it down for you that I think it's all right on Sharr's end, just not so much as a whole. I did just want to let you know how I've been interpreting it and how it comes off as from a third person's perspective. ALSO FOR QUICK CLARIFICATION lmfao Sinbad isn't moving out of the apartment, so much as he'll just be staying at the brothel more often than not for security purposes and because it's easier to manage by being there. He'll still be living in the Sindria flat, which is another reason I wanted to try and get everyone on the same page wrt: IC assumptions. He just took the booze he had stashed around to start the bar at the brothel and otherwise that's about it. He has a room at each. I definitely understand not wanting to do the same things over and over again, but at least working out the assumptions would be a big help in knowing what the off hours are like. I try to keep everything clear in what Sinbad's up to but then I'm completely clueless otherwise-- you didn't even state whether Sharr was in synodic or if he was on auto when you hiatused and I assumed the latter until you said he'd been gone when you returned. It's just the little things like that adding up that bother me because by all means it would've been something obvious to know.
I know I don't bother reaching out much anymore, but in the first couple months of re-apping I had been going into everyone's plurks trying to plot things whenever Z/events were brought up. Whenever I'd try to pull it together and get a log start up, no one would reply-- even clearly stating "all right I'll get a log up, when would be convenient/let's work out an ic date" etc. It originally seemed like you were only interested in smutting instead of doing generic things around Z and Britt had expressed interest in DP and such so I tried for that with you guys, but then further thought that you were only interested in Sharr/Yamu and not much else. I gave up, plain and simple. I'm a slow tagger as well more often than not, but I do always backlog and I'm always around OOCly, more than willing to take up the initiative and get things started. Sin's been in 16 logs alone since I rejoined, so it isn't as though I'm scarce haha. When it seemed like no one was really interested I just moved on; I'd had no indication otherwise and I don't want to keep being the only person initiating when there's no expressed interest otherwise.
I did mean the lack of interest more generally, not just in porn. People are all down for handwaving the dirty bits if it's more comfortable for you, but at least he's getting out and about with IC CR in that case and branching out. I do understand, but on the same hand I also think there's plenty more to be done in Z than meets the eye. Yes, the events are pretty 50/50 on aphro and sex flavors of the week, but there's still the interesting backstory plots that pop up as well as finding IC motivations to pursue. For example, Sinbad's antsy being stuck, so he opened the brothel as a way to generate money to build a ship; he wants to sail back to Alderamin or even go elsewhere, even if it probably won't be allowed OOCly. It's a goal he's set and it gives him something to do and work on.
Plenty of people are around for generic plotting and CR, although I'll admit I do understand if it seems boring with all the small talk it takes to lead up into more substantial CR and plots. I HOPE I MADE SENSE OF IT PROPERLY, in any case, but like I said if there's anything I can help with OOCly or ICly, I'd be more than willing to help out. :( I do really want to play with you guys but it's just been disheartening. Without eventing there doesn't leave much room for me to try and jump in, but I'll poke around more often if it's still mutual. [tsun]
