[quote=@HylianRose] I'm sorry you feel this way. However, if you had read the pad, you would have found our plans for the reboot which included this bit about Marcus takes over the continent for the most part. It's not something we decided to do on the spot and has been a work in progress. If you don't wish to continue to join us with it, that's is your choice and I respect that. However, I must say I do feel a small sting from your words considering how much time and effort we have put into this RP. I wanted to give the RP a push considering all of the stalemates that continued to happen with us, not getting very far before a halt occurred. My hopes are that with this, we can push the plot more and continue on. I'm sorry if you feel that it completely negates any plans you may have had, but in the end, this is my RP and I won't feel bad for doing as I please with it. As to how it connection with the 'old RP', it is simply farther along in the timeline. I wanted to focus on the Cross issues. Apophis and Lucifer can still be issues, that doesn't change. However, if you take Apophis out it'll have to change. I guess... my meaning in this reboot is to sort of 'recreate' Athalia. Almost as if starting with a fresh slate, giving it a new name for this 'season'/'volume' what have you. It was my decision and I hope that you can respect that. You are always welcome to stay/return/etc. [/quote] [u]I could not enter the pad because of some error that pops up on my comp, so it's kinda guaranteed that I couldn't figure out what was going on. I didn't ask because I thought a notification of some kind would help me think about this change of direction, along with another reason.[/u] I have mentioned the Pad error before and received no response. As for Apophis, the entire reason why I made him is because he filled in a dark spot of the roleplay. Not sure if I'll have the interest to develop him like I initially did, but for now, I'll just think about him, as he'll probably have much less impact as both a villain to consider about and a development-heavy character if I don't change a majority of his theme. This is your roleplay, that's guaranteed, but once again, a message of some kind would help me actually think about things. I don't think "with the flow" like some people. I need time. I know literally nothing about this new update, and I have no idea on what to do atm, and even after thinking about it, I [i]still[/i] need more time because now I'm really stuck. I'm wondering what I should do with my old characters all of a sudden, and I'm wondering how I should fit in with this change because it's technically a different roleplay. I understand you have things to do, but I really do have dedication in this roleplay, and I would have taken precious time to contributing to it. I don't want to bother people by consistently asking "when is it coming back" or "did you do something about it" because I do remember being told that people have lives after doing that at my early co-GM days in the old RP, so that's why I did not ask about it. I'm just... confused, so to speak, because I feel like a new member to the roleplay all of a sudden. When I said "it feels abnormally rushed," I'm implying that gigantic push in time really does feel freaky. My old student characters will need made-up development, which is something nearly none of my characters were designed for; I intended on letting their personality changes feel noticeable, but five years is more than enough to skip over everything interesting about my characters. With that said, I'll cut off all students I have been playing as permanently, along with all other characters excluding Apophis, who might receive the deletion treatment too if I don't come up with anything. I will continue attending the roleplay, but I will treat it as a completely new one. I'm not being rude; I'm trying to be as respectful as possible. I'm in a situation where I feel absolutely everything I built up for is lost, so I need to start fresh to create something new. You can't wash an old bone and call it new, after all.
