I hate you Derk. >_>

Don't hate me for near maxing out my tests. =/

maxing out your tests?

Lucky Canadian child you be, Nick. Oh well. I'm kinda looking forward to school, even though I'm not looking forward to school.

iknoright? :3

i'm glad to go back to school. its a good routine to keep me focused.

I scored really high on my tests so I don't have to do work anymore.

thats cool, derek.

Lucky chicken. I get 100 percent on most of my tests, but I still have to do boring work. :/

i dont mind doing my work so much. i never have homework. :3
then i write fanfics during class.

I don't have normal school, Sam. When my class is basically a study hall, and I show I don't have anything to study, I get perks. ^^

Where is this school and how can I get into it, Deek? Dx jk

Nice, Nick. What kind of fanfic?

You have to come to Mississippi if you want to attend my school.

whatever my mind decides to imagine that day. :3

talking about school i see...

I know, Derek. I ain't never coming down to Mississippi. Unless Will steals me and takes me there. D:

Nick, I usually draw. Drawing is my greatest skill. I don't draw pokemon at school, though. When I draw pokemon, people call me gay, stupid, etc. So I stick to drawing people or dragons when at school.

Hey, it's been suggested that I bring up my opinion in this area, so here I am, bringing up my opinion. You don't have to read this, but if you do, try not to be too offended. I'm just stating my opinion.

Ever since the summer of '09 ended, the RP has been going downhill. We all know that. People have been posting ideas and solutions in this chat thread constantly since then, trying to figure out why the RP is dying, and trying to find ways to stop the degradation process. On several occasions, Derek has stated that love and romance are dragging down the RP, making it worse with every post. I agree with him, to a degree. These days, people log in for their daily romance sessions, and forget that this isn't a romance RP. It wasn't made to fill the void of not having a boyfriend/girlfriend. Lately, all I see from several people is this:
*Girl wakes up, hugging Boy. Boy smiles a bit and nuzzles her.*
Boy: "I love you..."
Girl: "I love you, too..."
Now, I'm a romantic at heart. I love a good romance novel, or even a romance movie. I'm constantly trying to figure out something new and romantic to do with the love of my life, Hannah. And yet I am completely sick of seeing this in the RP! You post the same thing every time you log on, and it never stops! Instead of having fun, creating new storylines to give us all an exciting day, your characters sit around, making out all day. Now as far as I've seen, there are three people that do this the most.

1) Nick. With your characters, Nick and Mia, the romance never stops. You're a good RPer, but you're wasting away your talent by limiting yourself to romance. You hardly ever use your characters for anything else.

2) Sam (aquablade). You have one character in this RP: Slash. I don't think I've ever seen Slash unless he was hanging out with his girlfriend. Right now, said girlfriend is Mia. Like I said to Nick, you're talented, but you're wasting it. You're always obsessing over relationships, trying to get a new one going. Heck, in PL, you practically forced me to make a relationship between my character and yours. The biggest problem here was: THEY WERE SIBLINGS. If you stopped thinking about relationships and started thinking about stories for the RP, we'd never get bored!

3) MK. I don't think I've ever seen a time when your characters aren't either:
A) In a relationship
B) Trying to get into a relationship
or C) Trying to steal someone else's girlfriend/boyfriend

I'm not saying we have to take love out of the RP. In fact, I think love was what made it amazing. All of our characters loved and cared for each other, which made it amazing. But the love got drowned out by romance, which is what's bringing the RP down. Feel free to hate me for saying all of this, but it's been on my mind for way too long. Hopefully my contribution helps the RP get back on track.

i wish i could draw, sam.

garret, i respect your opinion, but its dumb. just cause my characters are romantic doesnt mwean thats all they do.

wow huge post at least people aren't shy to state their opinions
