Aha it feels good to be back, I've got plenty of ambition and motivation to write again.
It's been a while for me granted I've made a few attempts to come back but nothing ever really stuck with me ya know, like I have a habit of day dreaming of something magnificent then I put in the elbow grease to slap it together but somehow when the imagination makes it's way to paper and it becomes tangible its shine seems lackluster and I move forward onto the next thing.
Only very few characters have ever held my interest, what makes Mazal special is that I'm free to enjoy something that I wasn't allowed to enjoy on another site. I make no mentions but if your a blue you know what I'm talking about, that place was a nightmare. About 4-5 years ago if I recall, I came up with a concept a goddess of pain
suffering and torment. I put down the ground work, fiddled with the pieces and achieved the foundation of my project. Something neutral that could sit with the pantheons, but at any angle of any conflict had a chip on her shoulder because no matter for good or evil as it were someone always suffered .
We'll I shouldn't have expected any less from them, the long story short version they ganged up on a pretty good player that had a PC that as a reader you absolutely hated. And I made the mistake of sticking up for him, but who who sends an army in
the daylight to the noble district? I called bs on him, and he whined to his buddies that he was rubbing elbows with. When I returned however they cutely took over my project and snuffed me out of my idea when it was in the world forge, the only other incident out of numerous cases of plagiarism was a project for a special combat style I'm still miffed about lol. That and then the lets revamp this ploy, this was the very best in my opinion. where they would take an already finished piece of work scrawl down maybe a half paragraph of extra writing then scribble out the original authors name and slap there own on top of it.
Anyway as usual I've rambled myself off topic and derailed my own conversation.
I think I have a realm craft world forge passion to create and tinker, but even though Gossamer and the rest of the blues treat me great. I think a part of me has avoided that section, it just brings up bad memories that I like to leave behind me. In fact I can't help but make a shyke eating grin when I hear complaints about how bad it is, most people don't really know how bad it was before.
So in a way to answer your questions Mazal is something special at least for me. An
opportunity to let loose creative writing that I've been suppressing for half a decade. I can enjoy something from the ground/player level that I had always wanted to. And while it's not my idea I can kick back and really empathize with how well they articulated it.
I tip my hat to the creator of krysus.
A job very well done, thank you for the writing experience
