I've on three separate occasions joined other groups for prog - Alphascape in 2018, TEA in mid-2020, and TOP in Sept 2024. And honestly? Aside from that TEA group, I was miserable.

The Alphascape group wasn't meeting my expectations for prog; the TOP group ran for two weekends before breaking, and the personality of some of the members was just so rotten that I probably would've left then anyway.
But I wanna focus on the Alphascape and TEA groups because my reason for joining them was the same - after Sigmascape, the group I led fell apart. After Eden's Verse, the group I led fell apart. And both times for one reason or another the band got back together after.
sidenote 1: the TOP group was something I was doing on weekends cause we were on Light-Heavyweight reclears and I wanted to see how I could fair during the downtime. Still miserable.
sidenote 2: if I hadn't been brought in to the current group for TEA I probably would've kept trucking with the outside group through there to wherever they ended up.
And I wanna be honest: it sucks! I hated seeing those groups fall apart, I hated seeing friends yell at each other, and the entire time I would sit there feeling like it's my fault that things were breaking apart that way.
So in a way, when someone else revved up the TEA group and brought me in, I was relieved! I get to raid with my friends, -and- I don't have to be the one organizing this shit? Sign me the fuck up!
