I started this originally to talk about Redd and her new direction of finding herself out of slavery and standing on her own two feet, but instead, I'm not going to tell you guys those details. Why? Because where is the fun in that? For me that is, you all get to wait in suspense, unless of course you're my favourite cuddly certain someone. LOL!
Anyway, instead, I've decided to talk about why I keep deciding to stay on Mizahar when so many people tell me that the magic is dead. The truth is, it isn't dead, it's just people get so caught up in the OOC outcomes and events, that they forget that their character really doesn't care about these things. You read about reviews and most of them comment on the OOC stuff that happens out of character when the site isn't about the OOC, it's about the development of characters and their story of how they overcome their constant struggles. Mizahar, is about the PC, not the person behind the computer. The reason as to why I created an account on Mizahar in the first place, was to get lost in Redd's journey. Hell, I couldn't even care less as to how many skill points that graders give, I take it on the chin and kept writing. Half the time, I still couldn't be bothered as to what skill points people give me, because as a grader myself, I can understand that some graders sit there and think to themselves, 'Now should I award this? What did they actually do in their actions per se?' Redd gets whatever she is given and it's added, no arguments. The last thing that I want to be, is a pain in the ass and create drama for me when I just want to enjoy a journey.
I stay even when so many people leave and they create problem for me and Redd, unintentionally of course. However, through communication, I generally get through it and move on. These events create complications for Redd and they teach her lessons. Plus, when the other person does come back, it also creates another branch of a story that you can advance upon. Maybe create an embarrassing run in. Mizahar is about creation! It's about getting the chance to explore and be something that you're not normally! It's about creating a personality that you're not normally in real life. Mizahar is about the story, not the OOC crap.
Now I know what you're all going to say, 'It's not even original though! It's based off of other supernatural creatures.' Bitch please, when is something EVER original now days? At least these races, while based off of others, have their differences. These races even have a back story which is intriguing to me. The thing is, it's a wonderful site to journey and interact with other characters, make something of it instead of bitching about it. 'But it's limiting!' Psh, it's only limiting if your tiny mind makes it limiting. If it's something that I've learned through Redd being a slave, is that it's only limiting if you make it so. There is a shit load of lore running around the site. If you're struggling with inspiration or ideas, just simply do a bit of reading. You can even peruse a few player-based scrapbooks, some of them are fairly interesting and an easy reading. 'But you left the site because of OOC bullcrap.' Actually, no I didn't, I took a small siesta because I had a lot going on and although I'm back, I'm also still balancing real life and Mizahar, so I'm not going to be on 24/7. That doesn't mean that I will forget about Mizahar, oh no! There are too many interesting new journeys ahead of Redd for me to quit now!
A little hint about the OOC though, don't get too involved in it, because that is not why we are here. A lot of people quit because of the OOC stuff, but it's only because whether they realize it or not, that they too are creating some of that OOC drama. For me, I've realize to take a step back. I realized that the other night when I felt like someone was trying to bully me into something that I didn't feel ready to do. I just had to take a step back, and quit that OOC topic. I felt a lot better about it too. We just need to trust that those that have been placed into a position of power upon this site, know what they are doing and leave it at that. Continue on threading and enjoy your character's journey! Welp, I've rambled on for too long and I shall leave it at that.
Just remember, the wolf doesn't bite... Much.
