RolePlayGateway™

Well guys I must say this has deffinately been an all around amazing experience for me, and I have learned so much from all of you. My writing and skills have most certainly improved greatly since I joined up in december and for that I am very happy and thankful.

Anyway, as great as RPG is and fun and well everything; it's just not the same for me anymore. I find myself killing people just to get into a roleplay that actually works and most of my friends from RPG have left the site. There is not much reason for me to stay here anymore and therefore there is no point in wasting my time. I will remain a member and occasionally pop by to pay a visit and keep up with the few roleplays I promised to stay involved with, aside from that though you may all contact me at any of my instant messaging accounts, my e-mail, or check out my websites to keep in touch. My screen-names can all be found on my profile

Awww...this mean you'll be leaving ADV423? You just joined us, I'd hate to see you leave so soon. Regardless, I hope that wherever you find yourself next is a good fit. Best of luck.

Cheers,

TheWalrus

Thanks Walrus, no worries though, I promised Crim to keep up with ADV and I always stick to my word.

*pouts*

Ok guys. My final posts are up and this is my final goodbye to all of you. Again, thank you all very much for giving me such a great experience on here and I hope to see you again, don't forget to keep in touch via e-mail, AIM, Yahoo, MSN, or on my personal websites and myspace account. At the current time I would like to remind those that are concerned that I am not and will not be leaving the ADV423 roleplay by CriminalMinds and that is thus far the only roleplay I will be staying with.

On a final note, Remaeus here is that list you asked me for, I will also PM this to you, but I figured that it may be good for others to see and have a look at it too.

My suggestions:

-Perhaps you could add a way to allow GM's to review players before they join RP's (to get an idea of dedication, aility, "level" etc.) Perhaps a way that when you submit a post on an OOC, interest check, Character Profiler, etc. it will redirect you to a message to the GM with a short "monologue" in which you're request to be accepted becomes more official and "advanced". It would be an optional feature to aspiring Gms.

-Also there is a terrible habbit of decent roleplays getting thrown to the side because of undedicated users, if there were perhaps some way to bump threads or even better yet, in the OOC section, perhaps add an area specific for replacement roles.

-In the RPG Chat there have bee na lot of new users as of currently, I am certain that a minimum 80% of them are people here with the intent of doing nothing but casue trouble or as some like to say "troll". Perhaps there is some way to dis-allow a new user from accessing the chatrooms for a certain amount of time after their registration period, a sort of way to ensure that they are here for roleplaying and the site instead of just to cause chat problems.

-Also, there are a lot of dead roleplays lingering in all of the forums, for example there are 33 pages total in the Realistic category, but only about 5 are active, the first page holding the most activity obviously. Perhaps you should create a new forum altogether in which dead Roleplay will be moved so as to keep the forums clean but also allow an outlet to people who want a good read, perhaps find a way so that if the RP is to be resurrected it will automatically be removed from the "dead" forum and replaced in its original forum listing.

My final words on RPG will be:

There is always a beginning of a beginning, and an end of an end; this is not the end of the end, merely the end.

Time of death: (22:35:02)

Rigel nodded gravely, his fingers trembling somewhat as he stepped up to the marble tombstone, its silent glory visible even in the near-pitch-black darkness permeating the graveyard. In his left hand was a piece of parchment, yellowed with age, and covered with black writing. It had been stapled clumsily to a translucent strip of white lace, but as though to counteract any notions of lack of care, it had been signed at the bottom with red text that displayed a signature; "Rigel Lake."

Stiffly, he knelt down, to read the inscription upon the white stone, then peered back down at the paper. After a few seconds, he heaved a sigh and placed the piece of paper precariously upon the top of the gravestone.

To A Dear Friend,

Did you expect me to take the news so badly?
I think you did.
Handling bereavement is a hard time for everyone, isn't i-
*The rest of the line is smudged so to be unreadable.*

I don't think you'd foresee that I'd do this, though.
You know, you were one of my best friends here. The loss of you; well, it's a big thing. It really is.
I know what you'd say. That I had to try hard to move on.
I'm trying. I am. Really.

Words can't express what I feel in my heart
It's like a knife-blade in my soul.
Dropping deep within a pit, a mire
Or maybe, just dropping cold.

This loss isn't the easiest to take
You'd probably know that too.
So why do you torture me thus
When this is nothing like what I've been through?

Yes, I'm exaggerating somewhat to myself
This tale I've managed to spin and bend.
But, if so, what is this hole, this chasm
That you've clearly managed to rend?

So help me, my friend.

The End.
