@HaleyTheRandom
I've only recently been introduced to Gowi myself; due to a thread we ended up running into each other (I'd already seen his bio prior to this though) in when I decided to (in my personal opinion) have one of my less held back posting moments and really told off some people in the off-topic "bitchfest" thread who were bothering tsukune; one person in particular (this person isn't one of the people I'm mentioning since outside of that thread we've had no contact). I can link you to it if you'd like; just don't read a lot of (not all) the posts besides mine if you want to keep your brain cells; things actually got pretty damn ugly in there.

Anyway, me and Gowi are getting along really well for the most part (there's some disagreements, but almost everyone has those and I think we're being adult about it) and I agree he's a very good example of a long-standing member done right. Admittedly, I've only spoken to Lady A during the first couple of days on the site and then the PMs between us just sort of stopped happening (for no particular reason other than we had nothing significant to say to each other) so I haven't really become properly acquainted with her at all other than what I could make of her just by using my general reading skills, but a lot of you seem to like her.

It's nice to know that post left an impression on you, even if I don't think it was one of my better ones and I think my following one in that thread was probably a little better (though still not as good as it could be, and I get the feeling only Oliver and tsukune bothered to read it). At the very least I know some of you do appreciate me being here (some appreciate me being here a lot in fact) and that's probably the only reason I'm actually bothering to stick around given that I'm not actually even role-playing here and that's technically what I should've been signing up for but then I realized I could do some good community building.

I'll let you all know if I need to leave, but I feel like if it happened it would be more due to wanting to avoid admonishing several people and causing a big conflict. I'm already in a position where a lot of people likely think of me as "just some new guy", but I'm neither self-deprecating enough to view people here as my "superiors" nor will I tolerate something if I consider it unjust or against my principles. I feel like it's only a matter of time before I cause problems due to these things; I never do seem to stick around one place for long (like I said).

Whenever you feel like messaging me about it I'll be all ears; remember that.

@Shoryu Magami The longer standing members of the site tend to have an over inflated ego. Now, I'm not saying that about all of them, as there are some super cool ones such as Gowi and Lady A, just to name a few, but some of the others just come across as... well, I don't know how to put it really. Perhaps as if they are better than most? Once again, don't get me wrong, I've learned a ton from these guys,

dat compliment to my ego tho

That’s probably because the stick has long been ejected and now I just beat people to death with itβ€” you know, like Garrus from Mass Effect. Jokes aside, I don’t actually know much of my reputation onsite outside of what small tidbits get back to me from associates and acquaintances of mine. I’m glad I gave you a positive impression since it seems people seem to have a wariness about me to the point one of my friends said that β€œI’m intimidating” though I’m not sure how.

@Gowi Intimidating? Nah. Coming across as super intellectual in your writing might make people intimidated... I have no idea where I was going with this. Point is, you're a cool cat xD

I’m just really good at pretending at sounding β€œsuper intellectual” I assure you, I’m a bonafide hack. Though I am curious what about our first meetings struck a chord, and you know all the usual questions of β€œwhy do you think that about me and what do you like tho”. I’m bored, it’s early, and I’m a fiend for gossip and gratification.

@Shoryu Magami
I'm pretty sure everyone is funnier than I am. Wait, this sounds kinda wrong... *coughs* I think I should just stick to being my usual "remotely amusing" guy.

Well, not that I completely dislike voice chats, but more due to my environment not great for calls. One, because I only have internet outside using public wifi, which means a lot of background noise you're going to hear from me, and also unstable network; two, I hate my voice which sounds too reedy for a guy. :| Ah, and three, I can't do calls when I'm in class, obviously. Well, I might not mind occasional voice chats, but maybe Discord, because it has better call quality than Skype, in my opinion.

While I can be fun, chatty and a really lame person too pure to crack jokes that can make anyone goes tits up, it's tiring to maintain such high and carefree spirits the whole time because it's not really who I am. I'm just a flawed individual who isn't ashamed to admit that I have an ugly side within myself. Yeah, I'm too much of a realist to be constantly optimistic about things in general. In a way I can be seen as a pretty serious person, which I am aware that I give off this vibe to a lot of people I've conversed with. (It might also be due to my awkward English at times...)

I think the discussion with regards to the idea of freedom I've already discussed with you in Skype, so I shan't repeat myself here. Well, this terrible group work situation did made me realize that I still had a long way to go to further improve my interpersonal skills. Also, maybe after me feeling less suffocated here to be able to speak out my thoughts with less restrictions is causing me to be less patient to deal with the fragile pride of my classmates, I dunno.

(And yeah, I hope I can recover fast enough to really make some progress on the collab article. DX)

I’m not too confident of my own voice eitherβ€” was worse when I was younger.

How would you describe your voice and accent?

(I'm into voice acting so I'm a little fascinated)

On topic about senior members on this site: I haven't talked to a lot of them because I'm not exactly a very social person, and I prefer to keep my circle of friends small, whether on- or off-line. Partly due to trust issues, another part because I'm eccentric in a way that most people might find me boring, since I don't really share much things in common with the majority to strike up a long conversation. @Gowi is one of the few whom I hold high regards to. *notice me senpai* I don't think I've ever talked to Lady A, so I can't say much about her. /shrugs

@Pudding
I feel you - I seriously hate my voice because I even got mistaken as a girl once for that (and it was damn awkward), and I hate my real name so much that I can't wait to change it once I graduate from college and step into the workforce.

My voice is differen't on who I'm talking to or the mood I am in.
It can be high pitched and really feminine or it can be deep and like a typical male.
But if I'm speaking Japanese my voice is always kinda higher pitched to sound cuter, just out of habit I guess.

As for accent, typical Australian really, you can tell if you hear me ahaha

@tsukune
I feel you. My insecurities are the worst when I start to think about them.

Migraine's hitting me pretty hard right now due to all that's been flooding my mind, so I haven't been able to take a look at this thread again for a while. I'm currently in the process of getting myself something to eat; hopefully I'll feel a little better after that.

@HaleyTheRandom
"Sticks up their asses"? Lol, no wonder they're so bloody bitchy; that sounds uncomfortable as hell.

Also, I slightly updated my post in the thread you put up. Something was missing and it was irking me.

@Gowi
Honestly, I know that feeling all too well; even people in my circle often find me intimidating and those who talk with my over voice chat often have a difficult time getting into a more heated discussion with me or saying something they think might piss me off due to how "unapproachable" I can supposedly come across; I guess the fact that I have very extremes likes and dislikes and tend to be rather touchy doesn't help that matter, but I really do prefer it when people are forthright with me.

@tsukune
Like I keep saying, occasionally differences aside (seemingly from our histories and culture, from what we can tell) the two of us are really similar. I'm a bit too out of it right now to go into the details of each thing you've said, but I'm definitely too much of a realist to always be optimistic of things around me or the people I meet (I don't inherently consider myself a pessimist though, either; I did say realist after all), I really don't trust people at all, and overall I'm a much heavier and much more serious and intense person than my initial cocky and composed atmosphere likely gives off.

On the other hand, I actually don't relate to your problem concerning your voice; to the best of my knowledge my voice is distinctively masculine sounding, even if it isn't as deep as it apparently sounds to me (I don't know why but most people's voices sound deeper to themselves than to other people). I actually don't have a problem with my full name; in fact I think it sounds pretty badass, but I'm not too fond of the nickname people used for me throughout most of my past (a few people still use it, mostly out of habit). I don't mind using Discord instead of Skype, but my phone (what I use for voice chat) currently doesn't have an app for it and I don't want to use it on my PC for a multitude of reasons.

As for the statement you made involving freedom; I don't recall the specifics of the discussion, but I'm pretty sick myself right now (or at least sleep deprived; alongside my usual bad health in general that probably is never going away) so I might simply be having trouble recalling the specific talk we had.

(Take your time with the recovery; like I said, my health is always bad and I know how much stress ruins people. No pressure.)

Eating's always good. Hopefully you'll feel better pretty soon.

At least you Aussies have a cool accent. Us southerners just sound weird as hell xD
