[OOC] Orean Cause (Moved to a new thread)

[Avalant]

Indeed, I heard nothing about this roleplay being turned into a comic unless you talked about it on the Etherpad. Calling bullsh-t until there's evidence for it. First things first, let's take things Fonz-cool. Avalant, it is good to find inspiration from other sources. Nothing is original. Everything is inspired by something inspired by something else. If you apply a magic touch of personal creativity, however, your character may seem more like a "inspired by X, except with noticeably unique quirks" rather than "inspired by X." Also, no matter how aggressive criticism may be, thinking about how to let your character pass off as an acceptably unique character would definitely please not only the Co-GM, but the GM as well. Destiny is a very, very nice GM (compared to me, who could act like a super duper butterfly-killing machine), but GMs like Destiny would probably be happy if the Co-GM's advice makes characters more unique. So both of you, be Fonz-cool and chill. Not all Character Sheets are accepted instantly, but there's no need to go ham when they are declined the first time.

@NarayanK

Yes, we must accept the Fonz.... to be the Fonz is to be cool like the Fonz :D Like I said, I'm not taking anything personal, just pointing out what I perceived as "unreasonable" in the best light. I'm open to constructive criticism with reasonable claims. So then what should I change? I want to keep the basic concept of the powers, particularly the rats as it ties into what I have planned for various reveals of the backstory to my character and such. Any suggestions on how to alter the powers a bit more? I'm already workin on new names.

[NaraK]

I'mma go git sum popcorn!

@Rusalka

i hate you for doing that before I got to do that _________________________________________________

My one and only complaint about the character is that the power is taken from another game.

@chukklehed

I'm literally using another person's character, if you think about it. EDIT:

@Avalant

Hm... How about, instead of focusing more on Carv's (yes im fking lazy screw you all) magic potential, you could perhaps focus on allowing her to mix some elements of her parkour abilities and her magic abilities. Or perhaps make her parkour abilities themselves strange! For example, you could let her sort of slither through walls that people would normally be unable to parkour through with her own summoned rats. Personally, mix-and-matching existing powers can actually bring out really weird stuff... and sometimes, really rare gems.

Also a friendly reminder ...

[FantasyDreams]

NarayanK, there was talk about a comic at some point in the OOC. It was probably before you joined, but I remember it. I'm not going to get involved in the fight other than that, because I could get really ugly. One of them is the type of roleplayer I hate most in this situation.

[Avalant]

Ooh ooh thread fight!! *.* I'mma go git sum popcorn!

@Rusalka

Sorry to disappoint, but it seems we're all reasonable human beings here who just misunderstood each other due to our inititial inabilities to properly communicate our concerns with each other's statements. AKA it's done *dons hunters cap, lights pipe and nods* Quite done

Wises words that have been said, I like you already... well I like everyone but you know what I mean

ALso Rusa are you going to do a Matt post? I am curious if not then I will post something for Hana to do.

@Destinyfailhorror17

Nope not tonight. He supposedly went to the headmistress' office and is going to tell what happened, so my next post for him will probably be when classes are going on. *shares popcorn with NK* ^.^

I will politely decline to adjust my tone for my job, for several reasons. I talk like this when I might become emotional because it's infinitely better than yelling and screaming, and provides a possible basis for continued civil conversation. People can change, but I'm coming up from rock bottom and Rome wasn't built in a day. I have been nothing but cordial, and have carefully selected my words. It's the content of the phrases I use, not the phrases themselves that are at fault, and the content will not change no matter how I sugarcoat it. My job here is to be the strong arm, not to be liked. If people want to like me because of who I am when I'm not doing my job, that's fine with me, but I cannot point out people's flaws without being at least a little "mean". Finally, anybody who gets angry enough at my criticism to quit outright probably isn't worth the effort to play with. A good RPer can adapt to any situation in or out of character. This is the internet, people get angry. Obviously because Ava is countering my points with her own points (swearing nonwithstanding), She is of the type who can not only adjust to it, but give as good as she gets instead of simply giving up. I respect her quite a bit for that. That said. *falls out of asshole mode* You, Ava, are an amazing person and the only person so far (including the GM) who hasn't gotten mad at me because of my tone. I love you stay with us forever.

[BrobyDDark]

That was quite a bit of drama :|

@Rusalka

Oh okay thanks for telling me I guess i will make a post for him an d wait for the other teacher 9Angela or Quincy to reply) I trust Nk with his knowledge of making powers ads he help me before in an other Rp. I am glad that we are able to control all of this as I didn't do much really... But glad we all work on it together ^^

@NarayanK

OH FOR FUCK SAKES!! *yanks popcorn back* And you are right Destiny I'm actually very pleased how everyone handled this so civilly and that it didn't divulge into just bitch slapping back and forth. You two should be very proud of yourselves for keeping your cool and coming to an understanding. ^.^ Group hug y'all!! NK put some clothes on dammit!! <.<

@chukklehed

Too bad it took less than one second for Rome to fall. I never said anything about you changing the strength of your voice. What I'm saying is that your strong and aggressive wording is, no offense, bad. There is a reason why I, a man who is extremely aggressive in many situations, suddenly becomes passive when giving out feedback. By passive, I don't mean "ehuughhh i think its okay but its kind eh-ish but it might be okay cause... okay." By passive, I mean that my choice of words are not aggressive, but they get straight to the point regardless of how nicely I say things. There are things to hold back when you give feedback to those who haven't interacted with you that much yet. Now, when you're talking with people like me, I don't care if you use swear words because I know your intentions. It's more than just emotions; it's public etiquette that can be applied to so many real-life situations. You're a great Co-GM, even moreso than me and my experience as a Co-GM cuz athalia died, get it hurhurhur. For once, I ask of you to believe in me, as I learned this the really, really really hard way.

-cries- I need sleep. Someone is trying to tuck me in, and I pity her for being unable to drag my wheelchair to my bed. Night y'all! EDIT: If there is anything else that you need to tell me, tell me. I will accept any talk with open arms.

[chukklehed]

Say hi to Karen for me.

[NaraK]

Say hi to Karen for me.

@chukklehed

She said "Hhhh" but I think she just tried to say "Hi" with creampuffs puffing her cheeks out.

@NarayanK

Well after finding suitable name changers, I got some ideas for involving around idea of "The Breath from nothingness". The whole creepy chill ya get, like something is breathing down your neck... but when you look behind you there's nothin there... Or something along those lines. Her powers are to be a juxtaposition to the way she wants to act. But I like your idea a lot too... hmmm....

[chukklehed]

I say ignore NK because your idea sounds way cooler. Unless you mean it just makes people not want to be around her, because we already have a character like that and he's currently trying to rape his roommate. (I don't know why, I haven't been paying attention to that) Also before you go NK, guess what I have? I'll give you a hint, it rhymes which bocconut cream pie
