An Unfortunate truth

You make a fair point!

A lot of people feel that SS13 is more for gaming and action that roleplaying, and so events are necessary in keeping people entertained.

But character development is always fun!

Anyway hope I'll be seeing you around.

I've been trying to branch out more with my characters. But it never seems like the right time...

A community is nothing more than a conglomerate of individuals. Any action undertaken by a community starts on the initiative of an individual, specially here on Aurora.

This mindset of "we can't do much about it" is a wall built by none other than yourself, it is an issue created by your own mind. Abolish it. On Aurora it is so damned simple to acquire an open floor, to get in touch with the staff and start development of ideas, solutions, whatever else. Do not deny yourself an opportunity to solve an issue, if you see one, because I most certainly don't (and look at where I ended up as a damned result of doing exactly that).

What we require are one of two things: events (which I am starting to, hopefully, host with sustained frequency. Hence the Event Schedule and actual posts there), or antagonists. I don't exactly care whether or not you like the idea of using antagonists, but a well played one can add oh-so-much to the round: anything from creating stress and causing characters to break under pressure, to creating very interesting situations and issues to wrap one's head around, and solve.

There exist solutions, a myriad of them, but I need people to take up the initiative and execute them.

Skull is essentially space Lenin. I forgot about this.

And it's still one of the few roleplay stations with actual roleplay, so yeah~
