These lore drops are very exciting, and I'm loving how well they're setting the scene. If anything, one of the things that I had always been intrigued about in Disco Elysium were the other countries that kept on being mentioned-- I'm excited to see how this pans out! Great job with the lore drops!

I'm a terrible offender of simply having a pile of threads that build up like a mountain-- I do believe that I need to learn how to cut back and actually finish threads. I'll write as many threads as people want to give me, though. It feels like it would be smarter to have a thread limit, but yes I fall victim to I'd like to make it a goal to have a thread with every person on a site if I could help it.

...so the goal is more completed threads, but in practice, I'll thread with anyone who wants to thread with me and will never say no. Just please excuse that I'm not the fastest RPer out there, and it's getting worse with being a working professional.

be kind to those around you, you never know what they may be going through

take the time to get to know people-- everyone's a potential friend in the long run and it's lonely out there

don't forget to express your gratitude and appreciation; it'll take you far and it will come back to you

many fears are born of fatigue and loneliness; beyond a wholesome discipline, be gentle with yourself

401 posts on one character!

I'm hoping to make it to 500 this time, we shall see. I'm honestly impressed that I hit that many posts on one character in six months. I must've been possessed or something because I'm not quite close to that right now after six months, but it's foreseeable if I keep writing. No hard deadlines for myself, I'm just glad to be back in the swing of writing and am surprised I'd broken 100 at all when I had thought I wasn't going to be writing.

How does one get people to pick up want ads reliably? Mine are always very open for all sorts of adventures.
A lot of getting ballsy enough to jump into people's DMs and messaging them if I think a wanted ad of mine matches something that they were interested in doing. Even if it's not a perfect match, my wanted ads tend to have a lot of room for people to take the wanted ad in any direction that they want, with suggestions for possibilities to at least help give a platform to start building on. I think to be successful at getting wanted ads filled, you need a combination of make it easy enough for anyone new to jump right in (especially if this is the first time someone's joining a site, which is probably the easiest opportunity to get someone to pick up a wanted because they'll want to start RPing with people when they first hop on) without needing to know very much, and a sprinkle of friendliness to help welcome someone onboard and to get them excited to start on a site. I know when I'm first on a site, I try to pick up a wanted ad and see if it helps me stickโ€” also, it helps when someone says they're really excited that I'm picking up their wanted ad. Make me want to write and I'll write!
