    the primary reason i think he did not understand my CS is that there is a difference between having something and knowing how to use it. i could easily have an extra arm, lets say. cool, ive got an extra arm. How do i use this damn thing? well i obviously cant use it to pick things up as it isn't just one thing to have an arm and be able to pick it up. I was consistently getting Answers. which read as 'no, that's wrong sweetie do it different.' when i was talking about how i formatted my power they said now that power cant work here. just like from the start.

    in fact the more important issue that wasn't even brought up is that i like having a power that borders on godmodding, which is then reduced and limited so as to make it reasonable.

    also it is always reasonable to not use formal writing in an OCC in fact the gm in question asked for a writing sample, an idea that i like.
    Mark looked around the table, every one was tired and hungry. as for himself mark was so tired he almost didn't notice he ordered something different from what he wanted. 'Food, is food I suppose,' mark thought to himself as the waitress set his miss-ordered meal in front of him. He began to eat not even caring, rapidly increasing pace once his body realized it was being fed. His mind clearing Mark thought about the task ahead. Combat was hard enough when his group was staring down delinquents and corrupt cops, but to fight other Carriers was virgin territory of a sort. Freya had been on the Verge of collapsing all day and she obviously hadn't gotten any sleep last night. Extending his focus Mark touched he mind and poured some of his newly recovered energy into her. She quickly fell asleep now that some of her burden was removed and her body stopped pumping adrenaline into her blood. Next Mark worked at getting Ellen recovered so she could start healing their injuries, Marks own brute force rapid Healing wasn't suitable for the delicate wounds they received earlier. "Danny got away Clear it seems ,someone go fetch her shes in the dinner on 20th." as mark said this he set his head down and forced himself to sleep.
    now that may fall short of the grammar quality some people think is necessary for a high quality RP but, something down right insulting was said over PM which as much as i would like to would not be fair to share without at least giving warning. That said i wont post it without being asked as i do believe the GM wasn't very calm.
    Time Zone Easter Standard (-4:00 GMT) available times 30 minutes at the start of my day, ~8:30 weekdays ~7:30 Tuesdays and after work weekdays sometime between 7:00 and 11:00 PM it seems 9 is a good guesstimate but with the holidays coming up it will push back (i work retail)

    Because what is right if not something I refuse to give up on?

    Okay, you know what, this has to cease. For all who are a part of, or have participated in this thread, I am the GM in question. Hey, how are ya? *Waves to all*. Okay, down to business.

    Feldo, are you seriously going to sit here and say none of your questions(relevant or otherwise) were answered and I was straight ignoring you? I could copy and paste the content of our conversations and highlight the appropriate phrases, but it'd be unnecessary, much like this "rage" thread in general. I will be brief, but at least the truth will be known.

    I won't get into another lengthy exposition concerning your CS and things again because, simply put, this is not my OOC thread and that entire discussion is irrelevant at this point. I will say this though. You cannot come into another's OOC thread, create your own rules, and expect people to just give the go ahead because you think its more efficient or what have you. You cannot come into another's OOC thread, gloss over the OP, and then get angry when the GM points out the many flaws with the character sheet as a direct result of you not fully understanding how the mechanics work. Not only did you break rules(that were clearly written out in the OP for all to see) when it came to your CS, you outright stated that you do not know proper grammar, you tried to dictate how high or low of a level my RP should be based on your own opinions, and you became upset when I reminded you that the Advanced RP section is not the same as the Mentoring forum which is somewhere in the member lounge, if I recall correctly.

    It's great that you want help to learn and improve your writing, however, an Advanced level RP is not something you just jump into and expect everyone to come running and teach you things. You can say advanced level RPers sound like jerks all day, however, it is yourself who comes off as pushy and aggressive when you try and argue with the creator of the game over what you think should be right and correct. In fact, I had another member yesterday present an argument to me as to why he should have whatever ability, and he did so in a calm manner while still following the rules of the game and not dictating why it's correct no matter what I may think.

    The point is, if you're going to make threads like this, don't give only one side of the story and make it seem as though you were wronged while lacking the details to give interested parties a clearer picture of what actually went down. That's my piece, and don't worry people, I'm not going to turn this into some drawn out argument. I just wanted to say this for proper clarity and I'm finished, regardless of what is said afterwards. If anybody would like details to the situation, I'll be more than happy to PM the private messages and direct you to my board where some of the open conversation is.

    Nothing can stop the power of the human will!

    you know what, stop. If i continue Icc will continue and if that happens one of us if not both will end up banned as a result. Icc is only at fault for misunderstanding me, and/or being unclear about what was wrong with The CS i submitted to his RP. I am at fault for insisting that he understand where i was coming from, and forgetting that i can be very abrasive. not only that but my playful over dramatic phrasing tends to confuse someone. most especially i don't know when to shut up. Icc did in fact apologize for his first response. I then responded in a way that to the other people posting in his OCC seemed to agree proved his initial over reaction correct.

    I should have put a comment in my intial post to not look at my history to see what had just happened.
