This isn't a critique of you guys and I'm not accusing anyone of 'doing it wrong', so please don't take this thread that way, but I'm just not feeling this setting any more. It's working for you all and that's great. Due to my own personal preferences, however, I think it's time for me to bow out of the picture.
When I think of RP I think of a lot of people banding together to go on adventures and have fun with the setting. I like to be able to trust those that I RP with and cooperate with them to have fun with the adventure itself, not to build up a faction or wage a war with a group of other people.
When I get a constant stream of PMs like this:
And find myself in a position where I need to deceive other people on an OoC level to further one faction's goals, when I discover that I have more fun NPC-ing threads than playing my own characters, that tells me that this isn't the game for me. It's just not something that I enjoy.
Maybe I've just run into a string of odd occurrences that have colored my judgment wrong about SWRP. Maybe I'm just misunderstanding what RP is all about at its core. If that's the case, then I apologize for judging this place falsely. But as of now I can't really find anything interesting in my threads here. Rather than bog everyone down with procrastination based on my personal frustration, I think I'm just going to take my leave.

Natale seems very much the spy type, which is going to come in extremely handy with the IK's new format. Something I'd like you to do ICly is keep tabs on every IK, including myself, Pros, Bad, everyone. We're going to need you to try and keep an eye out for spies in our midst, we're not going to let the Sith nearly wipe us out again so we need to be on our toes. If you can do this for us, you'll have earned our trust and then some.
