@LadyRunic everything is okay now. Kinda worried about it turning and coming back. Looking forward to getting this going again. I'm having Falk-withdraws 😢😢
@LadyRunic Ah, the way you said it, it sounds like the two are related. Alright.
There's more to it than just my own self-doubt. I'll get around to PMing you...probably next week, since Yom Kippur is this week and work's a little hectic since I'm missing a bunch of days for the holidays and my doctors' appointments. Don't let me forget, please.
*hisses at Falk* Notcher pet. Go play with Belle.
@Belle To my knowledge, hurricanes generally don't do that. Also it is getting weaker just being over land, so you should be fine. *huggles*
@LadyRunic As I am no longer a part of this RP and lets be honest here we aren't parting on good terms I would request that my work be removed from the RP. Not my IC posts, I don't want to tarnish the narrative or cause a giant headache. I mean the ideas such as my description of the Spring Court. Since it has become rather embedded in the story you can continue to use Yggdrasil for the purpose that has been described but I would request that my writing regarding the Spring Court from the initial post be removed. I don't really care if you use the same base concepts or simply paraphrase what I wrote but I don't want my words used as part of the lore for an RP I'm not involved in. I hope you can understand.
@Belle It was a pleasure working with you and I hope some time to be able to do so again. I'm sorry if at any point I made you feel your work wasn't up to scratch. You are a very imaginative person and a good story weaver. My hunger for precision and specificity got ahead of my manners and for that I apologize.
@BlackPanther I'm not going to pretend I enjoyed your company. I feel you could stand to put a bit more effort into your work. You have amazing promise but you never seem to go the extra mile. Disregarding that though I am sorry for all the trouble I caused as I feel I was particularly harsh to you. I never intended things to get as far out of control as they did. Usually I pride myself on being polite if a little critical, I let that fall by the wayside here and especially with you for which I am deeply sorry.
@Ojo chan 42 I believe all of the issues I raised with regards to your work were valid however looking back I should have been more tactful and polite about the way in which I went about addressing them. Perhaps mentioned them to the GM rather than simply calling you out on all of them in public. When I was suspended from the RP, the first thing you did was post a new character (or NPC rather) to the OOC along with something along the lines of "It's safe to post now". If I'm being honest that hurt, a lot. When I critique someone it is never about making them feel bad about their work. For me it is always about either helping them to understand the setting better so their work more easily blends into it or to help them develop their concepts overall, both of which where my intent with you. I never considered that from your perspective it probably looked like I was stomping all over something you'd put a great deal of effort into. I'm sorry if I hurt your feelings or made you feel your writing wasn't good enough, they were all decent ideas and fairly well done, they just needed a little bit of tuning logistically to make work. Unfortunately the way I went about it was the equivalent of of repairing a Playstation 3 with a crowbar instead of a precision screwdriver. I apologize for creating an environment in which you didn't feel safe raising your voice about your own ideas because you were afraid I would tear them down.
@shylarah Of everyone I felt I got on with you quite well with you. I don't think I did anything specifically against you that I need to apologize for however I should say I'm sorry for the state I left this RP in overall. I had a bit of an aggravating effect on most everyone in this RP which lead to very unpleasant climate between us all. For that I am sorry.
@LadyRunic I feel I should say one last thing before I go. You're obviously very protective of your work and with good reason, you are an excellent writer with a decent imagination. However when you encounter someone like me (cause I know I'm not the only critical person on this site) try to deal with the problem more objectively without taking any personal offense (cause any you might perceive probably wasn't intended). If you make the issue personal the person causing problems looses the ability to see when you are telling them they are causing an issue that is damaging to the entire RP and when you're just annoyed with them cause they're there.
I believe at the point you said:
You truly angered me. I do not forgive when I am wronged in RP. Only a handful of people exceed that rule. All of them are closer than kin to me. The RP is LIFE for me, and has done much to keep me sane. I don't look at this as a rivalry. I look and will continue to do so, should you not heed the warning Zahrale gave you to mellow out, at you as a threat. A threat to my RP, to my plot. You, who will pick holes and complain about everything. You who will drive me to the point of asking the admins to delete that thread. To leaving the Group RP scene for good. I can take a lot but you tipped the scales and became a threat, a stress point, and one I could remove. My patience left when you began being a absolute jerk. If you heeded my dearest friend, this would not have happened but you kept pushing.
Following that I became completely unable to tell when I was causing problems for the RP and when I was just annoying you specifically cause you were in a bad mood. I am very sorry for a lot of things I said in this RP but perhaps this wouldn't have gotten so far out of control if you'd been a bit more objective when dealing with me. I'm not looking to argue the point. After this post I am as you said done with this RP since you don't want to afford me the chance to write Nyx out as was my original intention before leaving. I'm guessing our paths won't cross again but I've learned something from this experience, unpleasant as a lot of it was: Patience and serenity are the best tools to dealing with people, especially when you're reliant on them. You might try to take something away from this too as those who don't learn from history are doomed to repeat it.
@Everyone: I wish you all good luck with continuing this RP. I hope it goes well for you and I am deeply sorry for the disruptions I've caused before now. It was a pleasure to work with you and I hope you all keep writing, you're all quite talented. Goodbye everyone and good luck.
@LadyRunic Umm. So...we're totally going to ignore my idea of possibly making Sini ruler? Well...alright then. *shrug* Still haven't resolved any issues that I wanted to (mostly because I totally forgot), and I'm going to be out of town until the 14th or so, and then the rest of the month is a mess. *sigh* I hate it when multiple days gang up on me. *slithers off*
@LadyRunic could who have? And why didn't Falk think to protect anyone save his own? Either he's possessive, a dick, both, or he just doesn't care. *shrug* It'll make things interesting with the other rulers, for sure.
@LadyRunic@BlackPanther something about humans, and their value to the fey, I think, is the relevant point. *sifts through previous posts*
So who is Sini going to work for now? And is she to be recalled from Winter? ...Actually, wait, if it's still that same moment, she would have been overwhelmed as well, for she would not permit Nyx to fall if she still breathed. So a time skip of some sort is necessary, at least in the realm of Spring. ...And honestly, I was hoping to get to have Sini and Arys speak before the change of rulers, anyhow, but I suppose it is not to be. *considers where to go from here*
@Belle I regret that Sini and Arys are not likely to have a truly candid talk anymore, at least on Sini's side. If she'd ended up ruler she would be weighted with the concerns of state, and even as the knight of a new ruler, she will be far more wary. *huggles*
@LadyRunic I suppose. Actually, it might still be possible for her to become ruler, but only if those monsters can be killed by fey or iron, and only if she was able to kill the one that got Nyx. I do wonder what the IC justification is that they managed to get so far into spring unimpeded, though I know the OOC reason. I mean, it's not like their borders are defenseless. Would any other court (except perhaps fall) have had equal trouble? Is it a matter of Spring being of interest? Or Yggdrasil? *makes notes*
