[OOC] Heroes of Beacon - the Next Chapter

[Sho Minazuki]

I can then say the same. You're saying you can't put out ten seconds to label your character's location? Takes less time than it takes to check the conference doc, and saves everyone else time.

Jokes aside with an Rp where characters can be in different locations and of this size, doesn't it make sense to do this?

[Invisible Man]

Oh my gosh, you guys are pretty passive aggressive when you get into arguments. Anyway this can end peacefully? Or does it usually just simmer down until everyone kind of begrudgingly accepts the other view points?

[Lucius Cypher]

It makes sense, but whether or not we have to is our choice to make. We don't need to put titles or headers for our post either, but we do so anyways for the hell of it. It may be inconvenient not to do so, but is it really worth the complaint and complication to make everyone do it? Some things make sense, like color-coding dialog, but even if you're just wanting to skim, if you have any intentions of making a post you might as well do some reading.

@Invisible Man

I would refute that. This is a pointedly calm, civil, deliberate, non-hostile active aggression.

@Lucius Cypher

Actually I think the headers with character and location make quite a bit more sense than color coating dialogue which seems unnecessary as quotation marks serve the same function. It's not as big a deal now while we are in classes because while it might be a bit of a hassle we can check the conference doc but during free times people are often ambiguous about there location with the result that some characters may be standing next to each other and not realize it.

[Invisible Man]

@Lucius Cypher I don't know, when I read it, the tone seems a bit hostile to me between you guys. Although, I haven't been inside this RP for very long so I don't know the way you guys normally act. I guess I'll just leave with the statement that I shall be going to sleep and wish all of you a good night sleep as well.

[Lady Seraphina]

I love watching Next Gen when they're trying to accentuate Data's androidness so they'll just speed up whatever he's doing in a shot while leaving everyone else at normal speed. It's really funny to watch.

@Invisible Man

Generally I take tone out of the equation cause I cannot be sure the tone in which anyone wrote any of this so I'll read the actual text, specifically the facts of what is said and what each person is bringing to the debate and then for the most part (I'll admit things have gotten heated once or twice, let's not bring up the salt debacle again) try to address it as rationally as possible doing my best to keep tone out of my response.

It's like being hyperactive without the cheeriness.

@Lucius Cypher

Every time he plays violin I think he's going to snap the instrument cause he's playing at 4X the speed the actor was when they filmed it.

[Lucius Cypher]

It's a good thing they speed up him playing it instead of making him actually try to play it at 4x the speed. When I was younger and tried my hand at the viola I thought I was hot shit and tried to play a song as fast as I can. Broke a string that whipped me in the across the face very, very badly. Not bad enough to leave a badass scar, but certainly enough to give an awkward gap on my eyebrow where my skin was torn off.

[Sho Minazuki]

I was very tempted to go directly into hostility, you may not have noticed it having written the posts yourself, but they were bordering into hostility and were passive aggressive.

That aside, Seraphs makes a legitimate point. One of the problems is that our characters can be pretty much right next to each other and not know it due to lack of context in some posts.

Would you rather I asked everyone properly put setting and position context into their posts via writing?

Or would you rather I asked everyone to just put a goddamn label at the top of their posts?

Even I know how unreasonable the first option is, which is why I just would prefer everyone put 1-3 words at the top of their post? Seriously. Is that so hard? It's why we have a calendar in human civilization, why we have page numbers, why we have titles, why we have categories, why alphabetical order exists.

SO WE CAN KEEP BLOODY TRACK OF EVERYTHING.

EDIT: Seriously, this is driving me mad. I just can't understand why you WOULDN'T do it. I know the reason, you're even lazier than I am, or you're just insufferable, or something completely different. I just don't understand it.

@Lucius Cypher

Playing fast takes skills and an extreme level of precision. Once you can play a violin song flawlessly at one speed you try to speed it up and its almost like having to learn the song over again to get it sounding right. Speaking as an amateur violin player (been at it for about two months, I can play a Scottish harvest dance song and a Newfoundland drinking song).

I have legitimately never noticed these "headers".

Guys, I think I have a chronic case of stupid.

@SevenStormStyle

I'm no doctor, but you may want to see a certified professional for a proper diagnosis. It may involve a Tracheotomy, whatever the fuck that's for.

@Prince of Seraphs

I stopped playing shortly after getting cut in the face. I'm guessing that happened because I was nine and didn't know how to properly adjust my viola yet. Also the thing was one of those cheap $50 ones I'm fairly sure I picked out of a garage sale. So never did it professionally, but it was an experience.

@Sho Minazuki

If you want to know the reason why I wouldn't, it's because I find you attitude towards the situation offensive, and I won't give you the pleasure of convenience by giving into your demands. To remove any passiveness you or anyone else assumes I'm using, I'll make it quite clear that I'm going to continue to do what I have been doing, that is to say the bare minimum, to spite you. And the reason I'm doing it is because I find the way you make your complaints heard to be disrespectful and demeaning to everyone, whether or not you intended or cared about our feelings. Personally, if anyone wants to interact with me, they can do so by either asking me directly or doing so within the IC, whichever is more convenient for them. And if they failed to do so because they were unaware of me? I don't really care. It's certainly not something I'm going to lose my mind over. If I want to interact with someone, but don't know who is around, I'd go to the OOC and ask. Perhaps this may be more work then just putting the location of our characters in the heading, but then again if I also wanted to interact with anyone in particular I would already be on point and know where they're at.

@Sho Minazuki

Gate is the anime your thinking of and beyond that right on the nose lol

[Sho Minazuki]

And you just outed yourself as childish as hell Lucius.

Congratulations.



That aside its hard to not offend anyone these days and to do things based on whether or not you're offended is incredibly childish and you're stepping into Tumblr territory.

Put aside how offended you are and do what is right, instead of acting like a child.

I won't tell you to stop, but I want to make sure you know how big of a baby you're being.

[Lucius Cypher]

Thank you. Now are you going to continue to berate us because we do not match your standard of writing, or are you going to post in the IC?
