that shit gets so old. wanting people to have follow through or just communicate when they can't/won't doesn't equal seething rage. not wanting to give someone chance 101 to drop shit they get you excited about tagging doesn't make you some unreasonable asshole. because let's be real. people almost never get dropped for one instance of flaking. or even three or five. it's when it's a consistent pattern over and over again.
avoiding ooc communication rather than actually saying "hey, not feeling this anymore, can we drop/handwave" is exactly the kind of crap that annoys people. annoys, not enrages. nobody enjoys being left hanging. i would much rather somebody just be up front with me than the endless cycle of oooh, so excited! drop within 3-5 tags with zero communication. repeat ad nauseum.
to this particular person's credit they avoid games where plotting and affecting way more than one person is possible with this lack of follow through.
but even in memes why does "i want things i play to go somewhere" = "i am a perfectionist angry asshole when your play style and mine don't match and i turn you down the next time you approach me?" would you honestly they rather feign excitement to your face, let you write up a starter and then flake on you instead? because hey, if that's what the cool flakes are into today, i'll be glad to say go for it and leave you hanging. it'll be interesting to see how many times i can do that before the flakes stop tagging me in "seething rage" of their own.
