Group hugs all around? :)

But, yeah, seriously. I think that, honestly, if we all take things MUCH less seriously, and focus on RP, not the conflicts, 42 would be more fun. In the end, it's just a game, eh?

Trolling, to a certain point, is okay, as long as it's kept light-hearted. I have a trollplay character that I use specifically for Falador bar; she is Fungal-Girl, the trusty sidekick of Plant-Man, Gantheon's character. We're superheroes (No Godmod). We go into Falador, in the pursuit of JUSTICE, and honestly, people have fun with it! However, when things get nasty, and personal? That's where I draw the line.

I think that our community, really, has it's flaws. We're a group of a few hundred people, of different age groups, views, and ideals; we all have our own ideas of how our characters should influence the amazing story that is 42. Of course, we'll have conflict. I don't RolePlay based on real life, of course, because why would I? I don't feel like RP'ing my character sitting at her school's library, avoiding homework, like I am right now. While the "Stone-Hearted-Killer" thing gets old; if people like it, who cares?

I remember when we had a huge issue with LandClaims. It was all about the community; there were posts EVERY DAY, talking about "The Community!" this and "We're collapsing" that and "YOU'RE TEARING ME APART, LISA!" this. (I'm sorry, I had to.) It was chaos. It was anarchy. Guys. IT SUCKED. And you know what happened? We dissolved landclaims, by popular vote; the time for the official thread, at least at the time, was done. And you know what? Once people decided to stop arguing about it, and focus on RolePlaying, not a official thread, the posts ended. The arguments ended. We started having FUN again.

TL;DR of Ellen's Ramble: Let's all just have fun, RP, and relax a little! <3
