i am no longer interested in this phony site. i set up a game and invested in it, getting players, but i waited for characters to be created for almost a month. that is unreasonable. i will not have any good things to say about this site from now on, and i will do what i can to tank it in reveiws and other forums. i am seriously pissed.
Yea, this failing has nothing to do with GP, but rather your luck/choice in players OP. And possibly your initial communication of expectations.
There are flakes in every PBP community (not to mention, ppl with real lives with real things that occur in those lives), and as someone who has been a part of at least two other dedicated PbP communities, I can easily say GP has the best "pool" to draw from.
Sorry you had a bad experience OP, but for every one experience like yours, IME (which is several hundred posts and at least a years worth of activity greater than yours), there are three or four experiences that are among - not only the best PBP experiences I've ever had, but - the best
TTRPG experiences I've ever had, to be had here.
Did throwing a fit as you have actually accomplish anything for you? Why do that. Very childish.
