[OOC] The Elder Scrolls: Vengeance of the Deep

I don't know who you are, but I have a feeling you don't understand how games work on this site. The gist is you check to see if they're open, read the contents of the first OOC post to find out what the game is about, submit a character sheet for approval, and get up to speed on in game events before posting. The fact it's painfully obvious you did none of that is not how I felt like starting my day.You just jumped into an Advanced game with a small paragraph without understanding what this game is about or what's happening (completely ignoring the requirements along the way, as well as expectations.), making a post with a character that was not approved in the go-to starting location in Skyrim for 99% of Skyrim roleplays without realizing that this game doesn't take place in Skyrim, as all the players are currently in Hammerfell. I don't think you even know who the antagonists are. And clearly you missed the big bolded words saying the game was closed in the header because you didn't read.That completely rude behaviour doesn't fly. I've had to turn away a lot of roleplayers because the game was full and we have a lot of players as it is, enough that it makes it challenging for two GMs to ensure the plot and game meaningfully include all of them. They had the courtesy to at least read the OOC and submit a sheet first.That said, you are not a part of this game. Please leave.

I wondered what was going on...

And at the same time, it makes me blush that I was allowed in. Me, with sub-par writing abilities at best.

Don't kid yourself. You're good, mang, don't sweat it. You can only get better.

I feel left out of this METAL DUMP. Alas, I am too late, it seems.

....I'm so tempted to type my own version of this post, only it would be much....cruder...

There's no need to be overtly hostile towards people, I find. Could be a simple matter of not knowing how the guild works, even though she really should have known better and shouldn't have just barged in uninvited.

We wouldn't have accepted you if you didn't meet the expectations and we didn't think that you were a decent writer and a person. Don't sell yourself short; you've consistently written at a high quality. Look at that last post!

which reminds me, i need to get started on my own post... unfortunately, i've got a test to take tomorrow so it won't be up till late in the afternoon since ill be up all night studying....

wish me luck peeps T_T

No Sleep + Reading Americana Poetry + Listening to Phil Ochs

Red was the song that cut through night
That hung purple-gold, the moon like a knife
Silver and gleaming, it shown as he cried
That red mist of letters bubbling inside

His eyes wet with grief, his tongue much the same
Drowned in a dry ditch, he drank and he sang
Some tunes were black-blue, some diddies white
But none like the red that filled him that night

Onward he rode, 'til his spurs were of wine
Dripping of red, clinking in time
Like the bottles he'd passed, to his dear brother's wife
Red as the words that filled him that night

His pistol was tarnished, his pride much the same
Led by the moon, and his muzzle's flame
The flash it was blinding and led him astray
Though the iron has cooled, the red's here to stay

Black were the sobs that cut through the night
That hung purple-gold, the moon like a knife
Silver and gleaming, it shown as he cried
The black of his chamber no bullets inside

My expression when I saw her IC post...



What I thought immediately after...



I was not disappointed.

A friend of mine read my post and said it was 'decent'. So... I just feel shitty about my writing currently.

Good luck. Don't cram-it does you more harm than good.

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.

...I totally didn't notice that until you said something bossman >_>

but it could've been worse... i still remember the one person from awhile ago who wanted to join cuz his character got rejected from another rp. I went to see what character it was and in detail....

1.) Make Thyra a boy,
2.) Give him Cub's body.
3.) Make him as battle thirsty as Blade along with his champion status.
4.) Make sure he was raised by wolves
5.) Has his own cult.
6.) Immune to any Status Effects Sion and Elayna could dish out.
7.) On par magic skills with Hralvar and Gorzath.
8.) Make him a werewolf.
9.) Give him a few dragon shouts
10.) A better smooth talker than Zaveed.
11.) Make sure his chest is covered in blood and hair
12.) More strategic than Sevari Zainat and Marassa combined.

In a nutshell. Combine everyone in this rp into one character. And that was it.

....procrastinating from studying is fun >_>

It's like the ultimate Voltron of suck!

Do you have the link of the old rejected CSes? We should put them in a shrine. XD

Cool story, bro.

[Voltaire]

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 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.
