You know, I don't have a problem with people posting those types of characters, some people are just like that. I have a problem with people who get miffed when they're turned down, and continue to be difficult when you try to help them make an acceptable character, and then finally throw a hissy fit and blame everybody else when they are finally told they can't join.I can't understand how those people fail to realize that they are not entitled to a spot. The GM is not obligated to accept you, so if you want in, you'd best pucker up.

Dervs and I have had one of those once.

I've seen that so fucking much it hurts my insides.

It's depressing to see those people get so worked up over it too. It's not like this Rp is the only ES Rp in the internet. Just find another one, jeez. It's as simple as "well thanks for looking over my sheet anyway, bye!"

I'm sure there's an Rp somewhere that allows obscenely OP characters.

Man, I'm recalling that one chick who's name was referencing a bird or something, came in and wanted to play as some kind of dwemer deity or some shit, spouting off all kinds of lore to justify it. You turned her down obviously, so she made a more acceptable character and then tried to bring her friend in -who copy/pasted a character from another site who was an expert at everything- then got pissed off when you ended up changing your minds about letting her join. Course she blew up on everybody. No one was safe.
That was a fun night.

Personally, the only thing that really bugs me is the insanely op characters. I just don't like it when the character has the capability of single handedly sneeze and wipe out the entire soviet army

Your friend is being the underselling guy of the week. Seriously, as far as roleplaying standards go, that was a very interesting read and it was well put together. I think you're a pretty darn good writer, so stop being up on yourself, man. I'm hardly a literally savant myself and I have a lot of room to improve, so don't tell yourself that you're not good enough. You're just as good as everyone else in this little shindig, that's a Dervish Certification.

Also, I kind of realized how creepy our interloper's sig is. Under aged girl with a panty shot and a sensual expression, for fuck's sake.

Oh stahp you.

That ain't underaged. Trust me, I knows my loli. ;D jkjk

It was just before Guildfall if I recall correctly. Just by a few weeks tops I think.

I laughed way too hard at that.
But you really can't tell an anime characters' age by looks.

He's right, though. It's a certain lacking of inspiration and good art-style that characterizes loli works. Don't ask me how I know that. I've watched a lot of anime in my time.

I was okay with it for a minute, but then she got really self-righteous, like one of those radical feminists.

I took to reddit somewhat recently. Reddit feminists scare me.

Reddit is a terrible, terrible, place that is also an addiction and a curse. I highly advise you avoid it at all costs.

Ah yes, agreyloon(atic). I knew things were going downhill fast when she compared me rejecting her to Adolf Hitler. After shitting all over our OOC proclaiming her superiority, she was warned by a mod to leave the game. Then she started trying to provoke me via PM by insulting my province and trying to get me to flip my shit. She's by far the worst person I've met on this site. I didn't know her friend copy and pasted shit, but man, that was a crappy sheet. Expert at everything? C'mon.

Overpower characters are the worst because they are in no way interesting, compelling, or fun to interact with. One thing I've really wanted to do with this game is make it so it had a place for everyone from experienced killers to your average joe just caught up in crazy events, and look where it's got us; a diverse cast of characters that are distinct from one another, well roleplayed, and quite memorable and likeable. I honestly love what this game's become, and it's because of you guys. You may have had to jump through a few hoops before you got accepted, but I think you'd all agree in the end it was worth it, because the people here now wanted to be here enough to work with Soul and I to make a character that would fit well in the story and you all went above and beyond expectations; that's why I moved this to Advanced, because instead of a couple paragraphs like we expected, you guys have put together some fantastic long reads that I am overjoyed to see. Honestly, can't stress it enough; you guys are fantastic, and you make me want to keep this game going until it reaches a satisfying conclusion, and I want you all with me when that happens.

That said, I hope Vanq's okay, because I haven't seen her online (I have her on Skype, too) for quite some time. :/

I actually take the blame for this- She found out about the RP via the stalker wall.

Like the radical feminists who were protesting the fact that 100 Million was donated to a hospital? ..-.

Aw, thanks, Dervs. I hope you don't let the RP die like the last one. :| ;)

Yeah, I hope Vanq is ok... Havn't seen her for a while.

Voice of the Sky I wanted to keep going, but we hit a point where we lost too many of the original players and it was just becoming a big, disorganized mess where I was dealing with some players I shouldn't have accepted and it was becoming akin to pulling teeth to get the plot moving. GMing is much, MUCH easier if everyone posts once in a while. :P

Uh-huh. Suuuure.

I think when we are done with this we should do an alternate Kalpa version of Voice of the Sky.

And what I mean by that is we re-do it, with the current crew.

And then we can re-do this with the current crew to start! :D

could you imagine how everyone would treat each other before the second rp? I literally think everyone would potentially be at each others throats D:

I can guarantee that Zainat would try to kill Blade by having his arrows come a little too close.

The khajiit in the party wouldn't be immune either.

...Nor would the Nords.
