<p>Re: caring too much - I dislike the implication that the people who get upset by these sorts of things are just taking the game too seriously. While I never consider the time spent to make a character wasted, it can be frustrating to devote your time to one of these recruitments that never takes off when you could've directed it to another one that does. And to be honest, it does make me more wary about applying to future recruitments unless I'm familiar with the GM or they've been around the forums for awhile - which sucks because I'm all in favor of supporting new GMs.</blockquote><p>What I'm having trouble understanding, then, is what exactly is at stake. From where I sit I see two things: one's time, and one's emotional attachment to a character. If it is the case that one's time cannot be wasted (or that said time is negligible even if lost), then the only thing at significant risk is the latter. Assuming this to be true, I question why one would choose to become so invested in a character - especially for recruitments that are still in progress (real or otherwise). As someone stated above, the number of players often outweighs GMs and thus chances are never great that one will get into to this or that specific game. I'd also put forward that there is no reason one should limit themselves to only one recruitment at a time, unless that person is only setting aside enough time to devote to those specific recruitments and their potential games.
<p>One could make the case, I suppose, for losing trust in new GMs or becoming jaded with the process in general. To that I would counter that it is simply unfair to hold a bias against new or inexperienced GMs and that at least some amount of trust is owed to those people for putting themselves forward in that manner. </p>
<p>I maintain my own standards that I use to judge potential/active games and on more than one occasion I have left a thread that failed to meet those expectations (Echoing Diego Rossi above, there is nothing wrong if one joins... </blockquote><p>The other option is people getting fed up with PbP as a medium and reducing the available players and GMs on these forums. If we lose players who might someday become GMs, we lose something from the community. If a new player gets burned by a troll, they may turn around and say that all PbP games are likely like that. Then Paizo's forum starts to gain that reputation and that causes us to lose future members.
<p>Personally I've taken to making characters with reusable names. And not making an alias until accepted. I used to feel that making an alias for recuitement showed a certain professionalism about the process, but it just isn't worth it anymore.</p>Johnnycat93 wrote:Lady Ladile wrote:Re: caring too much - I dislike the implication that the people who get upset by these sorts of things are just taking the game too seriously.
