Alongside those things that TWU mentioned, I think that we've all lost sight of what made all this possible in the first place.

This region was created by Kyrek and Holy Karenland to hang out, with some RP on the side. The RP was something to laugh at, have fun with. The real reason this place grew popular (sort of) was because it wasn't all about the RP. I was here a few months before the semi-reset happened. The reason that we reset was because it was just us five (seven if you count Kentucy and East Versland), we found that the RP had gone stale. Kyrek and HK were locked in an eternal war, and nukes were flying left and right (why we banned them).

We stopped and said to ourselves "What are we doing? This isn't what we wanted. Where did all the laughing go?". That's why we reset. We wanted --needed-- to have fun, not be overly involved in RP, not to make our politics hyper-realistic, not even to make what we wanted to happen. We wanted to put everyone back on a level playing field; we could have fun with something new.

When the merger happened (I don't know all that happened) we had some people that pushed RP to the front as the real reason this region existed. It started to suck the fun out of why I was here. When I first came, I checked every day to see if something would make me laugh or if something crazy happened. Now I think to myself "What crap happened while I was away". It also doesn't help that many of the people in this region RP on Discord. None of us here know what is going on there. They only post here because they have to.

That makes it feel even more like this place is only for RP. I hate that. I want to go back to just laughing at what happens. I think that is the root of the problems we're having. We need to laugh again.
