Effort is required to make any hobby fun. Art, music, dog training, knitting, being good at Call of Duty, gardening…

And building a MUSH
And being a player on a MUSH

You get out of it what you put into it. Effort.

@Ashkuri I definitely agree, and I’d like to expand upon your thought without overriding or “correcting” you.

I want to add that while it takes work to make any hobby fun, if it’s consistently more work than fun, then it might be time to reassess. Obviously, there are going to be instances where you’re doing a lot of work, particularly in the setup phase, but you should eventually get more fun out of it than a feeling of work.

Agreed. The moment it becomes more work than fun is the moment it’s an unpaid internship, and those are largely gross.

@Yam If we all had a dollar for every time this happened, we’d all be oligarchs.

Self peeve: Find fun game I enjoy. Immediately hit with fatigue that makes thinking hard.

Once we all had anxiety, or we had emotional/mental fatigue from being the person who did the who-where-aboutwhat? scene-organising labour too often.

Now we can top those legit reasons off with the fact that some get away with treating asking for RP as a violation of boundaries and a bannable offense. So yeah, who’s asking these days?

Yam

@Gashlycrumb This sounds like you have stories about people getting banned for asking for RP.

hellfrog

@Gashlycrumb yeah I’ve never really seen that happen as stated! What’s up?

Gashlycrumb

@hellfrog I am pretty sure the statement is that they’re harrassing people. I think it’s upthread, about me doing this. The other person I know who was banned seemingly for asking for RP wasn’t told why, just got blocked off the game shortly after asking for RP. Old news now, But anyway, the ‘what if I get in trouble for bothering people?’ fear is legit. Kinda like the ‘how often is too often to +request or poke about a request?’ anxieties.
