AEs & Other Matters
I must admit I am not a fan of AEs. An anti-fan. A very very very NOT fan of alter egos. However, I do not voice this very much. But now I am doing something very much opposite that. I am asking what happened to some alter egos who were fun, loads of fun, hilarious even. What happened to the Blaster, Squeak, Danie, Snuggles, Mountain Dew fights, pie and Masked Piester? You were my partners in crime. Danie, I miss you. The Shadow RPG was the best RPG I had ever particapated in. What happened with that? Why is that wonderful RPG slayed and demolished, dead to the world? COME BACK SNUGGLES COME BACK SQUEAK COME BACK BLASTER COME BACK COME BACK COME BACK I MISS YOU.
On another note, I think that the "oldies" and "middlies" are feeling rather pushed-out. Of course they're all too nice to tell you but I get the impression that some of them would prefer if there were some places in the CB with less-crazy threads for discussion, slower RPGs, places they could hang out without getting flooded with AEs. I remember there was at one point this thing about AEs being on specific threads. That does not seem to be working. Maybe there would be specific RPGs that would go slower, have more serious topics, discussion threads not for AEs, etc.? I mean, I like crazy I guess and I miss some crazy peeps (Blaster, Snuggles, I'm talking about you) but I also think there is a time and a place for crazy, and the "oldies" and "middlies" don't come as much particularly because every time they do they get trampled with AEs, if that makes sense. I feel that another aspect is the fact they don't know you very well.
On a completely different topic, does anyone have any advice for depression/stress?

I'm not saying I want others to stop being who they are. I want room for EVERYONE to be who they are, not just the hyper, AEs and their owners. Because to be honest, I feel like they're being themselves so... for lack of a better word, loudly, it's taking a lot of effort to be yourself. I don't feel like I'm being myself anymore. I'm caught up in a tide of craziness and I'm trying to keep my head clear but my personality is being bashed and battered by the other people's personalities, slowly wearing my personality down to what their personalities are.
Why is everyone so mad at me for saying what I think and believe? I don't want any of you to leave, and I don't want anyone to feel upset or hurt but I think that maybe I should just leave, or just not come on as much, or just not really... I don't know, but I want to be myself, and I want to have my friends, and I want to have fun. I don't want to be someone else, and my friends don't come on here as much, and it isn't fun here, at least not fun in the way I like. It's too crazy, at least for me. I don't think it's ever going to be the way it was before. Ever. Too many people are coming, always always always coming... so many people have left... I left once, and that didn't work so well. I missed you peeps so much. But when I come on, it hurts, badly, because I can't find a place where I don't feel crushed and pressed to be someone I'm not. And when I leave, I miss the people who I left behind, even though I feel like they crush me. So I have no idea what to do.

I agree with Somebody. Spyro is the part of me I wish wasn't real. Cynicism, hyperbole, ...donuts...
So I put it all into an AE. Not to say I don't like him, but he represents my more unlikable qualities.
It's like Red -- Spyro isn't real, but at the same time he is. He's a part of me, and if he leaves, I leave too.
Also, please don't leave over this. I understand that people have mixed feelings and conflicting opinions, but that doesn't mean you have to quit the CB altogether! *puppy dog eyes*

Geek Girl, you did not join a year ago. I haven't even been on for a year. You joined about 4 or 5 months ago, which is a long time but not a year or even close to one. That would mean you joined at the beginning of the summer before fifth grade as I did, but you joined well into fifth grade, close-ish to the end. Not. A year.

How do you know if you a middlie or a newbie or an oldie?
(June 22, 2015 - 7:10 am)
Whenever anyone starts talking about "The old CB" l feel very downcast. l was never a part of it, and you make it all sound so great.
It seems as if this CB, isn't good enough for some reason. l like it fine.
l am fine with AEs. They add spice to this boring life.
Old CB is gone, in the past. CB will never be like that again. But that's okay. Things change. They always do. So why are you looking over the past? It is long gone. Why don't we ever look to the future? The furture is bright, and full of life. The past isn't. It is dead.

(ahem)
OTR: You are an older newbie.
THE SCALE:
Were you on when the Shadow RPG and the Superhero RP (by Danie and me respectively) were up? Were you around for Theo's revelation about being female? You're a middle-ie.
Do you remember Blackberry or the Dragon RP? You're an oldie.
Did you join in the past four months? You're a newbie.
Joined in the past eight? An older newbie.
(June 22, 2015 - 2:19 pm)
Older Newbie :)
(June 22, 2015 - 2:43 pm)
Yeah, I joined in the past 8.
(June 22, 2015 - 8:01 pm)
Middleie
(June 23, 2015 - 6:49 am)
I joined a long while ago say probably a realy old older newbie or maybe a really young middlie something like that.
(June 22, 2015 - 3:50 pm)
You're an older newbie, definitely. Or maybe just a newbie.
(June 22, 2015 - 5:34 pm)
I can't be myself. We are made to be crazy because everyone else is. We are made to steal ideas that are not even that good because everyone else is. We make ski lodges because everyone else is. We make stupid 4-post rps because everyone else it. IT'S PEER PRESSURE.
Now, I want all to give me your HONEST GOOD FOR GOODNESS OPINION: Do you feel peer pressured?
Because I do.

*raises hand*
(June 22, 2015 - 6:58 pm)
l do, kind of, not very much. It's not really a problem for me.
