4) How to reconcile the unreconcilable, which are those stupid timezones ?
Just call it what it is - sleep schedules. People get used to sleeping for eight hours a day at a fairly certain time, so when they sleep is when they sleep.

I meant more through an OOC perspective. People play in different TZ, which means at different times, which then means that they do not see each other very often. It is one of the biggest factor dividing players.

I have spent more than a year in KotMC for example, where most RPers were located in PST. I never got to see them most of the time, was sleeping. The only moments I could do something was when I forced myself to stay awake all night, or when one of them had their day off. Even week ends were not guaranteed.

For that issue in EQ2 my guild did guild forum RP sections.  But people need to know how to forum RP for that, ofc.

It also requires people to trust each other far more than is typically considered 'reasonable' in EVE.

Lagging Behind

Morwen's Law:
1) The number of capsuleer women who are bisexual is greater than the number who are lesbian.
2) Most of the former group appear lesbian due to a lack of suitable male partners to go around.
3) The lack of suitable male partners can be summed up in most cases thusly: interested, worth the air they breathe, available; pick two.

That.  And a specific style of writing.  And if there is forum RP combat.. well.. if you think IG TiDi is bad... ;) Its the same "attempts to" "makes a move to" etc, but you're writing out an attack in paragraphs.

Alive?  Yes.  Vibrant?  That's highly subjective.

I decided I'm not taking a break just yet. But I've gone from a yearly to a monthly sub. I think I will be mostly tieing up loose ends, and figuring out exactly what Ché will be doing when I unsub.

I still play Eve, but I don't really RP anymore. You can only have CCP shit on your toys so many times before you shrug and stop playing with toys that can be shit on.

I'm still technically around, but I mostly lurk in OOC. But then, outside of Corp/Alliance I'm in most channels lurking. Sometimes I pick up some fun intel. Most of the time it is quite. And that is EVE Online  :lol:

There is some RP still alive in me, most is in private channels or random "RP" blog posts and corp/alliance update. But I have never been huge fan of IGS RP forum pew.
