Am I the only one?

"funnily enough, it always seems to begin with someone "just wanting to talk." I'm not naive, Euro, I know how you work. the nostalgia is misplaced in my view because it seems imo that you're only able to fully appreciate something when it's gone, rather than enjoying it while it's around. I know I'm not only one who shares that opinion, although I may be the only one willing to say so."

Just, when the focus shift from the role-play to the text, this game end. As the posts become longer and longer, less people posts. As more and more the post are coordinated and pre-planned, there is less excitement, because the fun of seeing what's next ends. And in the end, peoples see they can't spend so much time for writing this stuff, and stop.

This is very, very true. I know I haven't added to any story because it takes awhile to catch up with a story that has long posts, and I feel obligated to invest myself in a long post of my own. It's just easier not to write anything.
So let's do an role-playing game kind of story with SHORT POSTS ONLY, and with no pretensions of literature. Just our characters interacting with each other and adding new elements into the story without knowing what the next poster will do with them. It's a hit and miss game, but it's fun if you don't take it seriously.
Whether we use new characters or not doesn't matter to me; I don't really care. I've never been one to hold on to a character for very long. I usually go through them fairly quickly.

you do have a notoriously short attention span.

you do have a notoriously short attention span. I don't think you ever really found your groove with the Vanguard group. it seemed like you were frequently at odds with whatever was happening in the main story.
