here's a topical video we can all bond over

who was in the right here:



Leatherman, or the Boss of the Gym?

neither, they're both being assholes

@The_written_John Honestly, I'd wait to resolve yourself to being kicked before the GM has even come back.

Cause what's happening here is the standard situation of argument spiraling out of control and into personal attacks from both side before an level of an authority figure can even chime in.

So yeah in the words of Snow.

Just chill for a bit.

As much as I'm looking forward to this RP, I'm less concerned with it than I am with allowing someone to insinuate that rape-victims should be blamed for dressing provocatively and using their own experiences as a shield against criticism or disagreement. The majority of rape is premeditated, and the majority of victims aren't dressed provocatively. Only 4.4% of rapes were linked with provocative behavior, according to a Federal Commission on Violent Crime.

I can't stand by and let the idea that this is the way things are and that women, or men, are at fault go uncontested. And I'll take any consequences handed down by the GM or forum moderators in response to my own behavior.

Double Post

See I disagree

The Boss clearly saw the Leatherman's attire and thought him to have taken a wrong turn, knowing there was a leather club only two blocks from his territory, and was merely trying to set him on the right path

When Leatherman reacted aggressively, even going so far as to challenge the authority and experience behind his words with a flippant "fuck you", the Boss realized he needed to set this guy straight, not just for his own honor, but for the good of society

So, he challenges Leatherman to an honorable duel, clearly stating the terms and ruleset to ensure no unfairness or misunderstandings, like any proper authority figure

The Boss of the Gym's a role model, bro

Snow buddy I think you're overthinking this

I think we all have a degree of understanding of what your arguments are.

My question is, why let a thread be consumed with the same restating on both sides when the same information has already been posted? This is the internet, the need for an immediate response doesn't actually exist, so why not wait to let the third party that actually matters, the GM, respond. Cause when a debate degenerates into personal attacks it stops being a debate of any value.

In the meantime, I'm sure there's more productive uses of everyone's time. You can get back to yelling at each other when the GM returns and has laid forth his views.

Awesome, looks like some of the usual suspects are lurking

Snow buddy I think you're overthinking this

kray man i think you're underthinking it

just let it go dude

Awesome, looks like some of the usual suspects are lurking

Awesome, looks like some of the usual suspects are lurking

@The_written_JohnI didnt see the two pages of argument I was responding to skeeter saying they'd have a post up and I noticed some other people from the guild viewing the thread. Now Everyone listen up. There are two options here. Either A) Calm THE FUCK DOWN, be mature adults (if some of you are yet to turn 18 its okay, this is good practice)@The_written_JohnI am sorry for your experience no one should ever have to go through that, however Its not license to be rude to Grin. We are now aware of your opinion on the character and I can tell you that the drawing is original. Now if you have a problem with playing a FANTASY style of game where the boundaries of what is normal, practical or realistic are pushed. Probably regularly. Then there is option B) you are free to leave, we can part on good terms. I'd be sad to see you go but if you dont think that this is a roleplay that you and I and everyone can get along in then I understand. If you want to stay I only ask that in the future when there is a difference of opinion we do our best to remain mature and respectful of everyone. Making fun of someone else, or their character is not going to be tolerated here. This is a creative medium and I cant have people fearing that they might have to censor or reign themselves in creatively. If something is offensive you are welcome to take it up with me and I will make a final call on the subject. As far as the character Marielle goes. I've seen this character since its beginning. Its inspiration was actually a combination of the norse goddess Hel and Zatanna Zatara from Batman. It has since grown into something that transcends its inspiration as all good characters do. Now if the level of clothing is going to be a problem. I understand, you are entitled to your feelings on the matter and I wont level judgement. However If you wish to continue with this roleplay im going to ask you to respect everyone else creative endeavors by not making rude comments. Im not offended and I dont think Grin is offended, but I do think she is hurt by the comments. That is why we were asking for an apology.

Now @The Omnipotent Sphere@HereComesTheSnow@Sekritter If you have something that needs my attention would you do me a HUGE favor and either PM me/repost/requote me on it? I'm going to clear my notifications

@vietmykeoh lol cool I dont mind
