Burter is right about me there. I don't like to just halfass something like that. Additionally, I DID give away my character for it. In a staff case, I wouldn't mind if all staff moved to customs just for the sake of relieving guys for members.
The thing you aren't grasping is this: We enjoy the site as well. We enjoy every aspect of it. We enjoy creating the world, we enjoy being dedicated to helping others enjoy the world, but we also enjoy interacting with that world ourselves. We get excited when we create a new area, b/c we can't wait to interact with it.
Otherwise, if we pushed it out the door and that was it, where is our fun? Should Square employees shove Final Fantasy games out but never experience the actual game themselves, just the programming? Should they not be allowed to pick it up once a week or so and enjoy it since they focus on their job?
I tend to write a lot more for site stuff, like the IV or CNN stuff. I tend to do a lot of writing for the site world itself, but I don't have time to do both. However, I still enjoy my character as well and when time allows, I like to take a break from that stuff to enjoy what another staff member brings to the table. I'm not shoveling turkey in my mouth alone if someone has green bean casserole sitting nearby.
Finally... what would I be without a long post and random comparisons? I don't halfass with making a small quick post just to avoid MIA, and I don't even halfass OOC responses. I feel if I'm going to say it, work it. Even if I'm about four paragraphs overboard.
Joking aside: I also make a point of avoiding just "go grade a random spar and poof you are ok" for exactly that reason. A member can't go grade something and be safe. However, if I post a CNN post and all... Why should that not help me? I just roleplayed for the site itself. If I create some new creative work for the site, why shouldn't that count as a "roleplay"? Its not like I'm just sitting here watching.
(not saying anyone is angry, just responding)
