A very serious one. Really, listen to this:
My first character, the lovable rotter D4rk N00b, joined a horde called ACT (Anti-Celebrity Taskforce). A few months later, the original group leader disappeared and D4rk N00b became co-leader with the other founders of the group. Then they disappeared, and he pretty much owned it by himself. Sadly, the group fell apart.
Then there's D4rkness, who of course made this group a little over a year ago. Happily, it still seems to be here.
Damien has actually created two groups. First, I had him become a zombie and made Trenchcoat Ranch. It was a stupid concept, but good for a laugh. I eventually had him abandon that, but made another zombie alt named Immobile Target (named after an old bounty hunter acquaintance) to run the ranch in his stead. He's still running it to this day.
Now, Damien has made yet another group, Destroy All Christmas Trees.
Seriously, isn't this unhealthy? If you count ACT, I own as many groups as I do characters. I may have a problem.

I think I'm just the opposite. I don't like the hassle of being in charge of anything, simply for the fact that if I want to leave for a week or so, I can without feeling guilty of being a slacker. Being a leader is a big, fat, pain in the ass sometimes, otherwise I would have taken leadership of CGR in December when they offered it to Headless. I guess I just take it too seriously and don't want to let people down if I'm in charge.
I don't think there's anything wrong with a little ambition D4rk. I mean, you're clearly not the power-hungry type, and it's nice to start something original with ones' own brand of playing style where you recruit like-minded players.
Sure, you're a leader here, PKA, and a mod on the Proboards UD forum, but leading a zombie group has it's advantages and adventures too, and you're a professional UD player now with a lot of knowledge and experience about this game, so why not lead? If you don't do it, some n00b with less experience could be in your place. In my opinion, you've earned the right to be in charge in this game.
You're leader of a PKer group, a zombie group, and a survivor group?................nice. If you remain competant at all 3, then you should be.

Sure, I'm experienced at the game, but that doesn't automatically mean I'm a good leader. Like I said, ACT fell apart (though that was more due to lack of interest than anything I did wrong). The ranch thing is really just a joke (I'm the only member as far as I know). As for DACT, aside from the fact that is hasn't taken off yet, it's really not even a survivor group. It's a group for people who like to break shit. So, really, I don't have any experience leading real zombie or survivor groups. BOTR is pretty much my only scheme that hasn't tanked.
Really, I'm just worried sometimes that I can't be ambitious because there are too many things I want to be ambitious about at the same time. Even in my real life, I can't figure out what to do with myself.
Take my career path, for example. Right now, I want to become -a professional science fiction writer (I'm 300+ pages into a novel right now),
-a videogame designer and programmer (it's what I'm at college for, and I've got a notebook full of ideas),
-a movie writer and director (already started working on a movie treatment),
-an actor if the movie director thing takes off (I don't have much experience, but that Spanish video project I did in high school was fucking legendary),
-a professional wrestler (though, with my build, I might be better suited to be a manager),
-a musician (I can't sing and I don't even play a fucking instrument), -and a talk show host (I had my own talk radio show last year, 2 hours a week, and I usually had to fill the whole 2 hours myself because no one would come on the show. I didn't go back to do it again this year because the guy in charge of the radio club emails and stuff is a dick)
Literally, I want to do everything.
