OOC Thread

Forgive me everyone, it's been a Day and I'm swamped. Please be patient and I will update when possible.

I am going to withdraw from this game. I had started to lay a foundation for a tragic background for my character, and that fell flat at the you-are-a-clone-bombshell. I had a very different expectation that I was excited about.

Sorry to see you go, Rune. I apologize for not living up to your expectations.

Don't apologize! This is not about you "living up to" my expectations. :)

It is about different roleplaying cultures, Nordic vs American, and how the expectations of both GM and players must be somewhat aligned.
I am generalizing when I say that american roleplay culture is about being the hero or winning, where nordic roleplay culture also like to play the losing side. There is a lot of social-realism games on the nordic game conventions.

I had a character I would like to explore, a truly broken girl, who had her life story painted on her body. I slipped into that grove, as it fit the premise of the game. But my expectations were not the same and yours. And we did not have a conversation about what the game expectations were.

I would have thought that she exploring her tattoos for their meaning would have been a great part of the storyline just like George exploring his possible background. Whether it be a clone or someone who just lost his memory, it doesn't really matter to me. The game is in the journey not the end goal.

Playing Dodge'em with hurricanes again. If I'm out for a while, please bot me or wait for me (if you're in my game). This one looks to be a direct hit. See you on the other side.
