“I’ve been RPing for like seven
or eight years, now, and I’ve been a staff once or twice—”
“Fifteen.”
“What?”
“I’ve been RPing for fifteen
years. And I’ve been on admin on three sites, one of which was mine. Back in
the day we had about two hundred members, people posted pretty much every day.
Pretty great.”
…
Ever had this conversation with
someone? If you haven’t, just wait, or don’t even wait, just mention how long
you’ve been on RPing forums in passing. The life story tends to be around the
corner moments later. I’m completely guilty of this too, as is pretty much
everyone, because it’s true that, at the end of the day, everyone likes to talk
about themselves, which isn’t going to be changing any time soon. The problem I
want to talk about today isn’t really so much about ego as it is about
standards and expectations.
