I know (a few) people navigate through unread replies. If I hadn't posted this in a new post but had just modified the last post I made, it wouldn't have showed and someone might have missed this post.<br/><br/>Now I have been having a few PMs very recently about people feeling like they're not integrating into the 'group' very well, or feel downright ignored when they speak up in this OOC thread, or that their characters might be ignored in the ICthread(s).<br/>I'm actually quite grateful for the people who have PMed me about this, because I rather do something about this then but idly sit by while a game like this dies.<br/><br/>I like this game, and you're all friends of mine in one way or the other, thus I'm not against finding out if these feelings are alive amongst others as well and if there is something we can do about it as a group. <br/>I'd like to suggest we talk about this. People who feel this way should get a say. And people who are not feeling like this might consider encouraging and supporting.<br/><br/>I'd also like to remind people this game is very new and the current coupling is not something that is set in stone. The Teahouse <em>is</em> a brothel. It's natural to have couples form and break at the drop of a hat.<br/>This last point, in my opinion, is common knowledge, but I thought it should be mentioned, too.<br/></blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div><br/>I'm sorry to hear anyone has felt ignored. Particularly so if I contributed at all to that feeling.<br/><br/>Bastian's not due in the IC threads for a while yet, but thus far I've felt very at home. Made some plots and plans with others for things down the line, and am looking forward to joining the nut house when the time arrives.<br/><br/>That said... Should anyone who is worried about their character's integration ICly want to sound off ideas or establish some kind of ties to Bastian, they can feel free to PM me about such or catch me in the OOC..<br/><br/>And on a more general note, don't be shy. I don't think anyone here would intentionally ignore someone OOC.<br/><br/>Just my thoughts on this particular note.<br/><br/>But with that, sadly, tis my bedtime. Goodnight to all involved and I will catch you on the morrow... *Smiles and hugs for those who want them.*
