I-I mean- You can be a fairy if you wanted? We're just shorties so I thought it fit >~< *Pat's head*
N-no! That's not the problem! It's just that fairy types are my only weakness! *shivers in fear*
 
Fuckin' forgot to tag you guys my B @Kayzo @Lotusy @SpookySableye @Corgi


Awwwwwright. Well, now that you guys are fatigued from the other giant text wall, it's time for another one!


An issue came up within the activity issue, and it was the issue of botting characters. Again, Imma try to handle this as sensitively yet honestly as I can.


I wanna say two things first.


1. Really sorry I kinda fucked up mini game night with the bombshell.


2. If for whatever reason I fall off the face of the Earth, I want you guys to keep this RP alive. That means you guys are going to have to take care of my characters. I don't care how much better, or how much worse (that sounds grammatically fucked but idc) you think you can play them, it doesn't matter. Just keep the RP alive. That's why we bot characters. To keep the RP alive and to make sure all these interesting and wonderful characters get a full opportunity to tell their story. They all deserve to be written for until they meet a suitable canon ending.


So lemme be real clear. If you're dropped from this RP, your characters will be botted if they can't immediately be killed logically, and tastefully. I'm totally aware that this is a weird concept, and you don't see it happen in a lot of RPs. When it happens in other RPs, most people are like, "Well, fuck it, RPs dead I guess," but it totally doesn't have to be that way.


Imagine if Bob Kane and Bill Finger were just like. "Hey Christopher Nolan and Tim Burton, Batman's our character, so sorry, you can't make great movies with our characters. Cause they're ours. So there." Or if George Lucas told JJ Abrams and the writers of The Force Awakens, "Hey guys, Han, Luke, C3PO, Leia, R2-D2? Our characters. Ya can't use 'em and make a real great movie cause they're my characters. So I'm just gonna lock 'em away somewhere and never let the audience enjoy them every again in any form unless I'm doing 100% of the writing."


Do you guys see how unreasonable that is? Furthermore, in the spirit of fairness, every other player who dropped has had their characters botted. That'll be a trend that continues. Alright now some other stuff that's been talked about.

....Blaze, I'd like to at least bow out gracefully. Once Arc 1 ends and Nikki and Lotus's plot point is done, I'd like to bot Lotus. Then once the arc is over you'll never see them again.
Please... I can't stand to have my characters taken over by someone else, okay..? It... It just doesn't feel right.
explosive, I understand you guys' reservations about this. But nah, I don't want you to turn this RP into a chore for yourself. Playing with the sole purpose of the RP ending sounds miraculously un-fun for you, and everyone else. And I gotta make sure everyone's having fun, so I'm gonna have to pass on this.

No, I will not be coming back, unfortunately. Because I will continue to hold everyone up and make the same mistakes, to only be kicked from the roleplay once more.
PlaguedWithInsanity said:
Alright. I guess I'll think about it...
I'm glad you're thinking about it. And Corgi was totally right, I extended the offer to you because I do think you've learned not to make this mistake again. But it doesn't matter what I think, if you don't think it and correct yourself, then you will make the same mistakes for the rest of your life. Have some faith in yourself to change.

explosiveKitten said:
... If Plagued stays, then I stay.
Wasn't gonna bring this up but I feel compelled. I'm not totally butthurt about it, but I do find it a little bit hurtful. I understand you guys are friends, and your friendship makes me real happy. But saying you'll stay only if Plagued stays is kind of like saying "I don't care about anyone else here and don't actually wanna RP with them, I'm just here for dat Plagued." If you're only here for Plagued, I think you and Plagued should just start a 1 x 1 together. Idk, maybe I'm being oversensitive about it, but I can't help but read that as, "I only like interacting with Plagued."

I never intend to undermine people it's just that if Lotus was to disappear then Nikki would absolutely lose her mind and go nutso bonkers and kill everyone until she got killed herself and I really don't want to have to write that.... Also Plagued is my bestie and we stick together...

I third this.
 
@Corgi @SpookySableye ahaaa thank you ^-^ it was sort of why i stayed out of everyone asking plagued and explosive to stay... i just didn't agree with it and thought blaze made the right decision. i understand why you would miss them, but he is the gm after all.

Sometimes it's just smarter to stay out of conflict. Unfortunately I'm always finding I have to put in my two cents :P

I know it sounded like I wasn't agreeing, but I just didn't want Plagued and Kitten to leave... Don't get me wrong, I completely respect and agree with the decision Blaze made (after all, the situation he described with the rule thing could've ended up happening if we weren't careful), but I just don't like seeing members drop out.

That is understandable. Remember though, I was pretty clear when we started this...bros are gonna die. Some of my favorite parts of this RP have been heart wrenching and terrible moments. I want everyone to be able to look back on this RP when it's reached its canon ending and hella feels reading through the whole thing. But thanks for clearing that up.

I agree sorry been at work for the past 6 hours and finally got off
Thank you guys for taking the time to understand. This RP is so lucky to have such chill yet invested players. It's pretty god damn gr8 if I do say so myself. You guys and wonderful people. All nine of you, Riddle, Chari, Stoney, and minismurf too.


And look, we're almost at page 20. I think definitely have a shot at giving this RP a lrgiy canon ending.


Alright cool hopefully we don't have to do this again, like I said, the activity rule is real cut and dry. Love y'all <3
