Another Cam rant

chrisvenusOK. I'm getting annoyed and I feel an urge to vent. Its about the big Cam Year of Fire, Time of Judgement, apocalypse end of the world thing. I'll cut it so if anybody complains at my opinions then I can tell them its their fault for reading it.
So why the rant?
The rant is about the attitude in Cam at the moment. So many people seem so keen to bitch and rant and complain and far as I can tell quote facts that have no actual factual content whatsoever.
People are bitching and moaning that this plotline is going to cause everybody to leave. No, not really. The fuckign bitching and moaning is what is making me want to leave.
I thought this was a roleplaying society. I am frankly appalled at the number of people who say "if I'm going to die in a year's time then what's the point?" Maybe its just because of my oxford roleplaying background but I don't get the question. Isn't that the same as saying "What is the point in roleplaying?"?
It strikes me that far too many people are interested not in roleplaying their character but by "winning" or something by achieving their goals. I look at the people who say "I had a two year plan but there's no point any more" and want to shake them a bit and say "Why don't you roleplay the first year of the plan then?"
I am frankly speaking quite appalled that this society of roleplayers doesn't seem to be interested in doing this roleplaying.
I understand that there are concerns and that people might want to do different things, not run the plot and so on but I'm pissed off at all those who say "What's the point of seeing it through if this plot runs."
I would dearly love for somebody to justify that logic to me so that my faith in the cam can be restored. I dearly love roleplaying with the cam but some of the conversation going on recently has made me wonder why I want to be in a society with all these people.
Its times like this that make me very thankful of having OURPGSoc to Roleplay with as well.
And also times like this that I am glad that![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
inskauldrak is my DST since no matter what else goes on he will make sure the players enjoy it. Unfortunately he can't stop my unhealthy urge to read uk-general.
