Well, yeah, it happens lol. But how? Do people just wake up one day and forget the character they created... the scenes they wrote?? It's very confusing, and I'm inclined to believe it's a bogus excuse for leaving an rp without telling the gm :-p
People have jobs, families,school work, appointments..... fucking lives. It's not hard to forget the fantasy when reality is such a bitch, lay off them they're probably stressed.
Oh, haha. I'm not talking about people who have irl issues and have to drop or take a hiatus. I'm talking about people who are in a rp, then suddenly stop posting, then join new stuff, or complain that they have no rps. Real life comes first... :-) but that's not the issue I keep running into.
Oh... Well that's different.... There could be a stall in the RP or a part where their character is only in the background, and they try to wait it out and forge about it, because they haven't posted in so long...
