Am surprised that nobody's decided to play The Doctor yet...

Not my sort of thing tbh

@TheUnknowable I'll be honest. Your bio is still barebones, and the fact that I--and I've never watched Slayers--can tell that there's missing background and a vague personality means it's obviously incomplete. It also took four days of editing to get this far, which doesn't inspire the slightest confidence in actually roleplaying as Lina.

Basically, it seems that you don't remember the series enough to accurately roleplay as its main character, which is too big of a risk when her signature spell leaves a giant crater.

@Raineh DazeThen at this point I'm not sure I want to even try to play them. There isn't any real backstory for the character in the show, and I don't remember enough of the plot from the multiple series to add that.

Personally, I don't think that it is even possible to add enough of a personality for the character to meet your demand. The fact that several approved characters haven't even met this standard of long bios and personalities (even though it says brief bio), yet were approved, makes me doubt that you want me to join the RP. For example, one of the co-GMs, Vita, has barely any Bio, yet is, as mentioned, a co-GM. Greengoat has a shorter personality than me. One of PKMNBOY's CSs has a short Bio. KoL merely linked to a Wiki for both bio and personality. Tachi has a short Bio, as does Malms.

I was planning on try to play as Avatar Korra instead, but I don't think there's any point in that now. It's obvious you've got some kind of problem with me or are giving special treatment to others so I don't really want to join any more.

Even if you weren't... bizarrely complaining of victimisation:

You managed to exclude that Lina has a sister. If you can't remember that simple fact--without even getting into why she's scared witless of her--then it's obvious that you don't remember enough to play the damn character appropriately. Again, I have never watched the series nor read it; my spotting something missing means you've really let something slip.

A fact which barely comes up in the show, and doesn't really affect anything.

Like I said, no point in joining, when I can't even get fair treatment from the people running the RP.

Uhm, you could just link the personality section like KoL did.

To clarify, in Kyouko's case, basically her entire bio is massive spoilers. I don't like putting unmarked spoilers in a bio, so I left it as vague as possible.

... For Amaryllis, her bio's... not really short.

In any case I don't think accusing the GMs of nepotism is a good way to win anyone over to your cause. But he's left, so that's that.

Hopefully it won't be much longer before we start. Sorry for the wait, everybody. ^^;

Pointing out the truth isn't a good way to convince people? I'll remember that.

I'll admit that the favoritism might be for a reason other than familial relations or friendship, so maybe that's not the correct word. What word would you use?

Uhm, you could just link the personality section like KoL did.

They are complaining about me not understanding the character. I could post a wiki link with a character I know absolutely nothing about.

Besides, when everyone else but KoL had to type it out, isn't that kind of the lazy way of doing it?

@TheUnknowable: Coming up with falsehoods to try and justify your accusations when your bio is VERY sparse and it's not due to spoilers isn't the truth. There's plenty of completely non-spoiler information to include.

Please leave the thread, you've already said you would.

Verifiable evidence presented by me is a falsehood? ok, then.

I'm sorry I pointed out that you were breaking your own rules to avoid spoilers which don't even matter because none of the characters will know anything about your character's background unless you tell them and I believe that the players are intelligent enough to not meta-game with the information on your CS.

If you stop talking about me then I won't respond. I'm not going to let you make baseless accusations against me and not respond, though.

If it's not lying, then it's completely misunderstanding why including open, unmarked spoilers in a character bio is a bad thing. Not everyone who might want to watch it has seen Madoka Magica, and in Kyouko's case writing her whole backstory would spoil the entire series no matter what I did.

It's for the sake of the players, not to avoid metagaming.

In any case, I was addressing the reasoning behind the shortness of one of my character's histories. Refuting your downright insulting accusation is something appropriate for a co-GM to do.

Writing the entire story of Line Inverse would also ruin the plot of Slayers, but whatever.

Let me list my problems then.

1) I asked TWICE, addressing both a player and a GM, what I could do to make my CS acceptable. I got no response to the question.
2) When a GM did talk to me, they essentially said "you obviously don't understand the character. I understand them better and I haven't even seen the anime or read the manga." Also, they assumed that because I didn't mention insignificant trivia like the character having a sister that is rarely mentioned that I didn't know anything about the character's story.
I also decided not to include that she loses most of her powers during her period, despite the fact that it ultimately lead to several of her enemies switching sides and was a major plot point for at least four episodes. Does that also mean that I don't understand the character?
3) I am being held to a higher standard than half the players, including two of the GMs. That's obviously either favoritism or discrimination, and because I don't know why they'd discriminate against me, I assumed it was favoritism. Maybe it was because 11 out of 13 players (including all three GMs) have anime-style avatars that they get treated differently? I don't know.

This is done.

Moving on, RP will hopefully be up soon.

Ya be thinking too much about the people here... Having spoilers isn't that much different to letting someone have a taste of a blend of tea you've had but they haven't... It ain't gonna ruin their perception of said tea, or in this case show...

It put me off ever watching Madoka because if you know the twists in advance, it's hard to want to watch something that relies on revelations like that. So I'd say that it makes sense if a detailed bio would spoil the entire pacing of a show.

This spoiler business is a wee complex ain't it... On one hand it's rude to ruin the experience (or future experience) of people who haven't watched, read or played what you're on about... At the same time telling people to not talk about spoilers is effectively censoring them...

Anyways... Nuff of the dreary topic... So how bout my query on the last post...
