Or we could all just drop it and do some writing? The end result of this is an Internet debate, which is the modern version of "Never get involved in a land war in Asia".

Edit

Medusa, I regret to inform you that I’m taking instant action and I will request that you leave this story. I am not happy with your snide attitude and aggressive words and that is the end of it. I do not have the patience to explain to you why your actions appeared wrong, as stated earlier. I tried and it didn’t work, don’t blame me. As GM I have the power to set the agenda, you do not.

To those of you who feel inclined to agree with Medusa if you feel as though you have to leave and that my style is too authoritarian, I understand and will harbour no ill feelings.
Have a nice day/evening all!

I’ll post tomorrow but if anyone wants to go before me, go ahead.

From what I understand, Medusa also requested that we drop it in her previous post. Frankly I don't understand what she did wrong other than maybe appear too aggressive. Her point stands correct: mental illnesses are not a joke, and saying that we don't have the proper experience to fully understand them is judgmental of you as well, @Wind Wild. I don't think Medusa was in the wrong here. I agree with her sentiments, and it appeared like OSIEIPPO did as well. I don't understand why this escalated to this point seeing as it seemed the problem was solved with OSIEIPPO changing his character. I'm going to repeat what I stated before; mental illnesses are of the same nature as physical illnesses, so standing up for accurate and compassionate portrayals of such struggles is a good thing. It isn't even about GM duties so much as having empathy. I do have a problem with the easy dismissal of this subject on your part, Wind Wild, honestly. For me, accurate depictons of such sensitive topics matter more than the comfort of the roleplayers. If that isn't the case for you, then I can't be a part of this RP any longer. I wish you all well.

Well obviously we have a different understanding of what's socially acceptable and what isn't. I have more compassion with real life people than with notions and the general "public" that might have this or that condition. Now that all this is cleared up, if the rest of you still want to continue, we can. If not, tough luck.

I'm still here

Also still here.

Ready and waiting for a post

Posted. I've to god-modded people into introducing themselves in order to speed things up and I'll play the two girls that dropped out until I get them lost once we get moving. I hope that's ok with you all, I think this tactic should be harmless enough and should help get us get the ball rolling instead of protracting things.

Also I added the next deadline to the first OOC post, it's the 20th Dec.

Guys I have a question. Does anyone struggle to make a whole post?

To make things more dynamic, are you all okay with doing the next "post" as one big collab between us? The pro is that it's a lot more dynamic, we can make it like an actual conversation between us and that you don't feel the pressure of posting too much on pure reaction.

To those of you who haven't tried it, basically it's like an online word document we can all write in. We don't have to be on at the same time either, so we can take it at our leisure.

I've done that once before. It was actually rather interesting. I'd be fine with doing such a collab.

Collabs are terrible things! They are the spawn of Satan and should be avoided at all costs!! :P

*has three different tabs dedicated to collabs, two with the GM on another RP* I'm cool with the collab, though it is easy to leave character behind in collabs if someone has significantly less time to write then others.

True but don't worry, all of Satan's spawns will be addressed. :p

Osieippo, RisenDead, please try to post by next Sunday or let me know if you'll be late so I don't end up maiming your characters by accident. :p I'll have a busy week but do you guys want me to start the collab?

Hey all, I know I said two weeks is the deadline but it doesn't mean we can't post more often. I'm a bit worried about how some aren't very active in the OOC either. I hope you're all still with me?

Also, I'm PMing you the collab link.

*stumbles in, blearily mumbling "present" before collapsing into a corner.*
