I honestly don't know, on reflection, why I bothered.
I know from my own habits, that when I see a thread starting with [Forum Game], I just scroll on by without even a glance at the rest of the title ... in most instances.
So I certainly cannot blame anyone for ignoring or skipping my thread. LOL

In fact, if asked, I would likely recommend that all the many [Forum Game] threads be moved to another part of the forum, as they have become almost like SPAM. I am not alone in this desire or wish. So somewhat ironic then, that I also contributed to that. ha ha ha ha

Anyway, in case you have no idea what I am talking about, here's the link to my Story Game. Perhaps I should have used [Forum Story] instead of [Forum Game].

The things we do in idle moments, when inspired by the creative urge.

The only positives out of it all, I guess, is that I am not alone starting such threads, and I thought what I wrote was a damn good start to a story, that others could have fun contributing to.

I guess you can see this thread as an additional promotion, if the story tweaks your interest, but it is also a discussion of the silly things we do sometimes. Hell, I am still laughing at myself.

lol!

The least I can offer is make it a favorite from where, if need, want or creativity strikes. i have a bad time dealing with trolls, it is a learning experience.. so those might deter me, and honestly, the negative rating might be far telling how some joker might interfere, though, that is also a challenge to be found right ?

LOL, I hadn't even viewed my thread since I first wrote it, just kept looking at the lack of replies now and then. So I wasn't even aware until now, that some childish person had downvoted my post.

Not much you can do about such sad people, who need to get a life.

I could point the finger at likely culprits, but what's the point, they know who they are, and they have to live with that.

At work, we all have 'set' places during breaks where we sit in the cafeteria. It is always funny to see what happens when one us needs to move to another seat for whatever reason. Maybe this downvoting is similar behaviour? Some people just have a rigid sense of how things are supposed to be.
