A Roleplay Community in Secondlife
Done for now.
Well today was the last straw on a pile that has been building for some time.
I'm going to be leaving Karamoon for some time, the style of play has been shifting and I have found myself getting angry as often as I have a good time.
We all agreed to a set of rules when we got here, one of these is that the final arbiter of conflict is metered combat. I consider myself a good roleplayer but I also like the fight, I don't ambush without warning, I don't pick on those weaker than I (If I fight someone of a lower level I give them plenty of time to escape, or otherwise get out of it). But time and time again I am accused of being a poor roleplayer for this behavior.
The reason I prefer meter combat is that almost every 'pure roleplay' fight I have gotten into has taken over an hour without my opponent allowing themselves a single defeat, no matter the power level between us. I know RP combat can be good, but time and time again it has proven mainly to be an excuse for a low level character to be unbeatable.
And lest I be accused of just wanting to win, I lose FAR more fights than I win. I pick fights with those more powerful than me, large groups, or when I am in no condition to win.
Anyway, that tangent aside, I wish you all the best, I hope Karamoon brings you a lot of joy, I understand that my style of play just doesn't mesh anymore. I'll probably pop in from time to time to see what's happening. I have a lot of great memories here, I just need to make sure they stay that way.

I wish you well Zen, dear, hopefully should you return, I'll be there in the keep, or elsewhere, waiting to welcome you home.
