Welcome to Gaia! ::

And in that world my friend, I'm afraid we hold all the cards.

And it's bullshit. What's the point of roleplaying if you're going to lead us around by our damn noses?! Seriously, I didn't want to say anything, but it's getting really annoying. Sure, roleplays do need some guidance, but the roleplayers should be able to make their own decisions in a way that's enjoyable to them. "Oh, look, that character has his own opinions that I don't agree with IRL, I'd better threaten his character." What is that?! I'm sure there's more to it than that, but this constant superiority thing is really driving me insane.

And while I'm at it, another thing that really bothers me is the whole "Oh look, this is who's important" concept. Seriously, you try to make yourselves main characters, the only main characters, and constantly comment on how the rest of our characters are inferior, and I'm sure it has something to do with the fact that you're all friends IRL. But it's crap. Noone wants to made to be a secondary character. Rarely will you find someone that says "I don't like to be a real part of the roleplay, please, let me stand off to the side and watch while the big kids play." Realistically, it'd probably be that way, but that doesn't make it right.

Now, I've said some things here today that weren't very pretty at all, but they needed to be said. Ya, you can kick me out of the guild at this point, but what good would that do? All things must improve constantly over time, and feedback, whether useful or not, is the source of improvement. Personally, I really like this roleplay and the concepts behind it, and I think that you're all great roleplayers, but if I'm going to be forced to sit in back and watch the whole damn time, then there's no point in me remaining here, I could just read a book, and I'll leave.

Reguardless, atleast my character doesn't have to care about the anarchal-capitalistic world even if she's difficult to keep playing.

She's crazy. : D

I'll go back to trying to post... ninja

Then try to make yourself a part of the RP.

Don't b***h about it.

Do it.

And if you oppose us, expect to be plowed under. We don't care what any of you do. We care about us. We are superior. Threatening your character? By accurately predicting how long he would last with his current attitude in society? Oh yes, that's a threat. Your argument is beautifully phrased, really. Except for the fact that this is completely free-range. If you see us as main characters, it's because we're doing something. You know, that foreign concept that's the opposite of sitting around and bitching about people who are making an effort? Yeah. We're doing that. You won't be kicked out of the Guild. That would be ridiculous. You stated your opinion. That's all. I tore it to shreds, ground it into the dirt and pissed on it, yes.

But that's called consequence. And that comes from choice. Choice- consequence. Logical cycle, really.

Communism is absolutely disgusting. I refuse to give my earned wealth, the crops I grew, the things I need to other people. That's ridiculous. Communism is a cycle of sacrifice. Cannibalism, leeches feeding off the people who can do things. What about the man too lazy to work? One who does nothing in communism is equal to the farmer who carries the whole of the ******** community on his back.

I'm sorry, but that is evil in it's purest form. The abasement of human nature, making those with skill and intelligence, those who produce, equal to those who do nothing? Those who would pull them down and devour them at any opportunity, for no other reason than because they can? Because they can produce, it is their obligation to support their fellow man, is that it?

Bullshit. You hold no claim over me or my life. No man can ever claim the life of another. We have the right to exist. There are no rights in communism. There is the "whole", the "common good". It's disgusting.

Well, you know, it's hard for my character to defy yours when you're the all-powerful being of infinite wisdom. Really, how am I supposed to compete with a character that can use every type of magic, backed by the guy who is making the rules? "Make a more powerful character?" I like to try and limit myself to a realistic standard, and playing a character with the ability to do anything gets boring reeeally really fast for me.

As to throwing myself into the RP goes, at this point, after the responses I've seen from Writer, I'm going to either A. Get myself killed, or B. Be forced under the yoke of another being, and quite frankly, it'd be A. Writer threatens to kill us far too often, and if I were to attack him, no matter how big of a post I type, the fact that he has my powers as well as every other creates the fact that I will inevitably lose. So, I end up refraining from RP, or getting myself killed. An impasse, I would say.

I'm sure great pains were to taken to try to make the systems fair, so we can't really take it at face value that they can just say they are fair. I' sure you truly believe what you say Erica, but it seems you know the crew IRL, it would seem to be quite the conflict of interest, and I'd be sort of confused if you didn't defend them. I'm just saying that I'd like a sort of second opinion, if you will, from people who aren't that close to the Crew.

As far as the defeatability of Wes' characters, my character would still die on account of the fact that Iluday does not know Khalen's weaknesses, and therefore, could easily be slaughtered by a combination of his own attacks thrown back at him with fire added, or something easy like that. This is actually more my fault, I'll agree, and I can get around that.

I also gotta say, I really disagree with the battle system, though my complaint here has its faults too. I really don't understand why the fight system should be like this, but I really must say that I don't have a better system, but surely there must be a better way. I'm sure this is just a case of too much character conflict, but everyone's just so hostile...

I really do like this roleplay, but the truth of the matter is that with the amount of rules and stuff that conflicts with me, I'm probably going to have to drop out...

I think you handled that very well, Brother. ^_^

For what it's worth, I hope you stay in the guild too Skiiy. As for my brother's other character, I think he felt like making someone that isn't dedicated to Wes...I can't blame him. blaugh
