Post by Riptide on Sept 19, 2015 16:40:42 GMT
Hey guys, so uh yeah, some of you may have noticed that I've been nowhere near as active as I used to be. That's due in part to me putting focus on my high-school football career and high-school in general. I've never officially revealed my age, but let's just say I'm a freshie if you get what I mean. And all of those who have been freshies should know how hard this year is. Especially when you mix in a girlfriend, honors english, and football.
So I'm kinda-sorta leaving the site. I'll still post every now and then, but that's just gonna be a status update on my characters (you'll see what I mean in a minute) or just my opinion on something. I won't be getting involved in any long-term rps for a while or at least until football ends. As of now, Riptide, Nitros, Armatum (yeah you thought I'd forgot about him didn't ya), and Blackgate are all out of any rps they are currently involved in.
But back to what I said about status updates. I'm not killing off Riptide and Nitros, my two mains, however I will be giving an in-universe reason for them not being active in the War. Though for Riptide I may have to break that no-ship rule. Don't hate me Mods.
This is hard for me to write and I've been putting it off for some time now since I've been part of this community since December 2012. Roleplaying on TFU made me a better writer and has helped me in my lit classes. I've developed Nitros from a reckless young scout to a hardened General who's come back from death itself. Riptide went from a sparkling to a bounty-hunting womanizer in space, and believe me, there's still stories to tell with this guy. That's why we have fanfiction.
So in conclusion, I'll still be developing my characters here, just on my own time. That spotlight section will be getting a lot more use. I'm going to miss rping full-time here as I've forged a lot of bonds. You guys were my social life in sixth grade and in a way you all are the reason I've become "popular" in my school and lost all my awkwardness. Posting on TFU showed me how to talk to people and to be myself.
Peace out then, and hopefully I'll be back to active status by maybe January at the latest.

Sorry Rip, but you're not allowed to break the 'no ship' rule. c':
However, there are some ways around the ship rule. For instance, if you'd like the reason for your characters' absence to be that they're traveling in space on a ship, then there's no reason why that shouldn't be accepted- just so long as you're not actually using the ship within the RP itself. This does mean, however, that I don't want to see any ship landing anywhere for any reason. If you'd like this to be the reason for your characters' inactivity, then by all means do so; simply do it in word and idea, rather than practice.
Thanks for your time, and for informing us of your necessary temporary departure from the RP. I hope to see you around once things in high school have settled down a bit.

See this is what I mean when I say the ship rule is unnecessary, he's just trying to explain character inactivity, the issue is he can't rp that story, nor can he rp the return without filling out a form assuming we have such a form by that time.
It is sad to See ya go though rip, my final battle on TFU was against Nitro's.

Riptide for NFL 2016!
You could be the next superbowl star bro!
Saddens me that another roleplayer from TFU is leaving, but this is never goodbye forever.

I think it was Earthshaker who said a while back that eventually we will have RL stuff that gets in the way and we will see that an rp group won't be so important. It's a sad testament, and I don't fully agree with it, but there will come a time when we need new, and right now we aren't doing that. Also I think I meant to type Gears, I get you two confused all the time XD.

No, not grumpy. I simply don't see how it could be so easy to confuse one person for another, when only the first letter in their names is alike. And I would appreciate it if you didn't blow things out of proportion; no, my post did not make it sound like I felt you'd just ended the forum. -_-

Guys, chill. You both are blowing it out of proportion. And, this is not the thread to debate this. Take it to PM. Back on topic, sad to see you go, Rip. But hopefully we'll see you again soon! In the mean time, I'll just think of ya every time I hear the song 'Riptide'.

Riptide Now, I would be willing to offer some assistance as far as your departure is concerned (seeing as I am the staff member in charge of ships at the moment). If you'd like to talk to me about in PM whenever you're online and able to discuss it, I'm sure we could work out some sort of agreement to see to accommodating your characters' temporary leave while you focus on school. c':
