Charlatan...

Um, do you mind clarifying? Or just sending a CS?

Dictionaries, they explain words you've never seen before. They've been around for some hundreds of years. You should try one.

char·la·tanˈSHärlətən,ˈSHärlətn/nouna person falsely claiming to have a special knowledge or skill; a fraud.synonyms:quack, sham, fraud, fake, impostor, hoaxer, cheat, deceiver, double-dealer, swindler,fraudster, mountebank; More

Surprisingly, the dictionary left out one of my favorites, the confidence man, or confidence artist for embracing gender neutrality.

Hm...While I do appreciate you explaining, the rudeness was greatly uncalled for. I can tell you for sure that if you plan to act this way all the time, even if it was "playful sarcasm" I'm probably not going to accept you into the RP. Please be aware that sarcasm, playful or not, comes off as really rude over the internet, and no one likes it.
But I will be willing to try this little introduction again so I don't get the wrong impression of you already, if you would like.

[Assallya]

I apologize. That was partially playful and partially pure frustration talking. I'm getting a bit sensitive with people ignoring what I say and pretending they understand the words I select or singling me out as a freak for using vocabulary that should be common to those of the seventh grade level. (Not really meaning to be insulting... charlatan really is about that grade level, give or take a year)

Yesterday, during my lunch break I used the word ameliorate in a sentence and when asked, the person was insulted because I offered up mitigate and dilute as synonyms. Neither of which he knew. He thought I was actively trying to make him look stupid and I thought he was going to rip into me. By that point, using the term "watered down" really didn't help any.

I just get so bloody tired at being the bad guy simply because I enjoy writing.

You must take into consideration that not all educational systems are the same, and not all may try to further their knowledge as you might have. But you really should make sure you don't take your anger out on people you just met. You leave bad impressions that way.
Other than that, I'm willing to give you another chance. But I'm only lenient to an extent, so if problems like this occur often for you, you may want to rethink if you want to be in the group. Or be flexible with the crowd.

*Raises a banner* We have cake, folks~! Come join us.

[AkiBlue]

Yes people!
The doors of entry are still open!

[Grothnor]

I'm game. Gimme a bit to set up a char.

[AkiBlue]

Awesome!

[YoshiSkittlez]

Im thinking I might be interested. I know absolutely nothing about one piece but my knowledge on pirates should make up for that. Are the accepted characters to remain secret? I find that I like knowing about what characters ill be interacting with before I come up with a character...most of the time...

[AkiBlue]

It's not necessarily a secret, I just wanted to have alproved characters already so the OOC isn't flooded with CS's and asks.
And I'm sure the pirate knowledge will make up for it.

[AkiBlue]

A spot is still available~

Only in America could a statement like that be uttered.

You know, I was feeling apologetic but given the response... I hereby rescind my apology and hit unsubscribe. Oh, and in case there's some confusion, "rescind" means "take back".

[AkiBlue]

Ignoring the pointless post~

We still have one more spot left people!

[Fox of Spades]

Yep, ignore the meanie :D

The StarDusk Pirates still need crew members! We have cake!

[AkiBlue]

*-* Yum.

[AkiBlue]

For the ones who have joined and have been accepted, an OOC is on the way!
I don't want to keep you waiting for too long.
Expect it in the next post!

One more spot is available!

[AkiBlue]

One more bump for the one available spot.
Along with a few tweaks for the OOC.
It'll be up soon!

[AkiBlue]

Here you guys go!
