[quote=@Dedonus] [@Nexus Prime]: While I understand that it might be frustrating, I believe they are deferring to you to build an opportunity for a clone saga and they'll work within that framework. They might not want to dictate too much of what you are planning with your character (i.e. Spider-Man). Sure, they should contact (or should have contacted) you about making sure that his happens. However, telling someone that they should look elsewhere for a character because your yet to be accepted application might not be able to accommodate that character shows a lack of flexibility. It would be one thing to tell someone no to an idea in the middle of a roleplay where it conflicts with your immediate plans. It is a different thing when things are not set in stone. [/quote] It's not about frustration at all. I had previously contacted Rin privately, as well as telling her - and by extension anyone else wanting to play Spider-characters - in the OOC itself to discuss their thoughts and ideas with me if they wanted so I [i]could[/i] build an opportunity for clones. I gave notice in advance, and actively attempted to accommodate others before even beginning work on my own sheet so that in the case of if I were to be accepted everything would already gel and mesh together. So to say I'm not showing flexibility is a fallacy. And I never said he [i]should[/i] give up and look elsewhere, I suggested he consider looking at other characters so as to not continue to wait for something that, at this point, I do not feel is viable. As to my potentially being accepted and landing the character or not being set in stone, that doesn't matter at this point. I made strides to be accommodating, and to work in other ideas logically and comfortably with my own, but those strides were not met. Instead, I was left to my own devices, and I designed my Spider-Man accordingly with my own ideas and directions. Because of that, what I came up with for the character doesn't allow for those types of legacies to yet be present in Peter's life. There are over fifty years of storied history to explore for Spider-Man, and I have no intention of rushing this story simply to include as much of that history as possible; that's foolish, and generally bad story-telling. So, regardless of if I'm not yet accepted, Matt waiting on me to get my sheet up specifically before working on his own characters is a poor decision, because, by now, there is no room for those legacies and my version of Spider-Man. Which is why I honestly informed him he may want to look elsewhere so as to not have his time wasted, or expectations dashed. That elsewhere, by the way, includes his own version of Spider-Man, as Kaine or whatever. I'm not arrogantly presuming I will be the Spider-Man player. I'm merely letting those who are waiting for something that won't be coming - a clone saga of some sort - know that it will not be, and to seek out other options. This isn't frustration, this isn't bias, and this isn't uncooperativeness. So, please, do not suggest as such. That being said, I've got the final two years of Spidey's history to go over in this sheet, as well as filling out the rest of the sections, before I post it, and it can be accepted or denied at your collective leisure.
