pezI am angry. I am frustrated and tired and have been tired for two days, barely able to keep my eyes open, but I can't sleep because I have things to do and things to worry about.
This shall be the first time I publically rant about Fusion, and let's hope it's the last. I tend to lock these things up. Oh no, I know it's totally inappropriate of the mod to rant like this, but I've been looking after this thing for a year and now I want to scream.
I don't know if I'm doing too much, or if I'm not doing enough. Every time I try to pump life into Fusion I fall flat on my face. Yes, give them the themes, they all jump in joy. But do they even look at it after it's all set up? No. Tell them time and again if they want to drop, just drop. Yet they insist on hanging onto the characters, promising to post - and then they don't. They all want punishments for non-posters because what, "give people reasons for posting if they're groping for what to do with a character...and it's lots of cheap fun for all of us". Excuse me, it's not my responsibility to think up ideas for you. How hard is it to at least post once a week - the characters have more than just tennis in their lives. They have family, they have schoolwork, they've got friends outside, they have to go shopping or save money for a xbox or get hit by a car or watch TV or hit puberty and feel embarrassed and confused. When in one week I get 4 non-posters, it is punishing ME to think up ideas for you, not punishing you.
And what about updating journals? 2 non-posters this week, 3 last week. Were they too busy? I saw them posting in their own LJ or running around in RoD. They even replied to the punishment post on the same day. What does this mean, you've been checking the RP but just didn't feel like posting, or are you waiting for me to fling ideas at you? And why should I have to threaten you with being kicked if you don't' respond to the punishment, just to make you post?
If you don't want to play, you are free to leave and nobody would hold it against you. I am here to make sure the game runs smoothly, vet the applications (I won't mention the HELL that has given me, that's "wank "in itself), not to help you with ideas or character interactions. I love this game, but I don't want to feel punished and used simply because I'm running it.
Now I sit back and watch the wank spread.

I think sometimes we as fans/rpers need to be reminded of that. XD *is reminded*
