So, a friend who shall remain nameless has told me that some of you see me as "intimidating" and don't feel like you can come to me with any questions, issues, advice, insert thing here. Don't feel like that. I'm a nice guy. Like, seriously.

...Were they part of the sex scene?

E: Also holy shit Bruce and Byrd have known each other since I was three, I feel more like a lil sprout than I usually do now, lol.

I think it's unreasonable to expect everyone to read every post.

It's completely natural to prioritise the posts that interest you, so I wouldn't beat yourself up about not reading everything all at once or skimming over some posts because everyone does it. One of the nice things about playing in games like this is that you can look back, having read the posts that were initially interesting to you, and take the time to read some of the work that perhaps wasn't instantly relevant to your character or your posts and find some real gems in there.

Let's not turn the OOC thread into a procession of critiques about one another's posts, shall we?

Ultimately we're all here to have fun. If you want someone's opinion about what you can improve upon, ask them via PM. Not everyone is comfortable with having their writing publicly assessed and I'm concerned about the atmosphere it might create for them to have to wade through critiques of other people's writing.

WAIT A MINUTE.

.....Wraith wrote a sex scene?!

I did get a reply by private message, rather than in the OOC post, so there is always that.

If I don't get nominated for best sex scene.

The problem I see is that you have no way of knowing who is readings your posts, who is skimming, and who is skipping over them completely, so you may PM someone who isn't even in your "target audience" (for lack of a better term). Hence why when I asked for feedback on Kai-ro's story, I did it in the OOC so that anyone who may have an opinion could chime in and I wasn't making assumptions about who was reading them. Plus, often times I read something and don't have a strong opinion about it. So I know that, just because I do read a post, doesn't mean that I'm going to have a lot of constructive feedback for it.

See, now you're just inviting competition and I can't have that.

Not that... I'd know, given I just admitted to skimming posts.

Also, I just now realized that @Master Bruce's admission of not reading posts yet means all those likes he gave out are meaningless trophies.

This will be the hottest iteration of Ultimate One Universe to date.



CAH, get ready to eat your fuckin' heart out.

Also, actually typing up that admission about not reading IC posts made me feel really regretful, giving me a bit of perspective of how that sounds. I'm the GM, I should be ontop of shit in the IC aswell as the OOC to make sure everything's kosher, at the very least. Or be able to provide a reference for what the current events are in-game for curious newcomers that are either thinking about applying or are out of the loop.

I apologize to all of you and am making a vow that henceforth, I shall remain up-to-date on the goings on of the game and will begin reading every post that isn't mine from the beginning right now. I won't "like" a post until I've fully read it. If I've already liked your post, you'll be getting an unlike followed by a new like.

This has been a public service announcement by Master Bruce.
