I just think it's funny how
all the people I used to know
that'd say things like
"I wish I lived in
more interesting times"
are awfully fucking quiet now.

If I am willing to use this character in tandem with Gera, may I?

@FortunesFaded I've been Co-GM on multiple RPs on another site (plus a few here), and managing the OOC/reviewing apps essentially became by primary role. On that site, people loved the way I picked through their apps, so I guess I didn't see the need to change my behavior from site to site if I was praised for it from where I came. However, picking through their apps entailed a full review, including pros, cons, sometimes neutral points, and then an overall summary of the app + what they could have done to improve. So I guess it would be harder to feel offended in the way I did reviews.

I understand that how people take criticism varies wildly from individual to individual, a fact I wasn't considering due to the above reasons. I've taken great strides towards becoming an entirely neutral and unbiased critic from where I started, but maybe I'm not there yet. I don't know. If I ever feel the need to speak up again, I'll use a lighter hand. It's something I can do, but never really felt the need for.

TL;DR I understand where my fault lies, and will work even harder to improve. A great reviewer shouldn't be able to offend even the touchiest of individuals. That's what I'm going to achieve.
@User@FortunesFaded The "I don't mean to be a jerk" comment was serious. I didn't insult User, and after reading over my post a few times, I can say with certainty that my tone was in no way condescending. The complaints were legitimate. Just because I don't hand my criticism out on a silver platter doesn't mean there's anything wrong with it. My tone was frank. Frank. I saw something wrong and I pointed it out.

And User, please don't complain about my apparant behavior towards you and then proceed to bad mouth me like I can't see it in a public place.

I had to say my piece here, as everyone else had. We can take it to PMs now or just end it here.
@User All of the errors are still there, and I hate to come across as a jerk, but saying that "Some of us are just bad with grammar and spelling." isn't really a good excuse. Proper spelling and grammar is like the bare minimum expetancy for everything past most RPs in the free section. Some of the errors look to me like you're using a phone, which contradicts your tale that you put it all through a spellchecker.

"Lieutenant Thomas Dun which."

Which could have autocorrected from Lieutenant Thomas Dunwich or something of the like. No way you yourself added a random "which" at the end of of the surname "Dun".

@UserThere's a lot of errors in your app, some of them make it completely impossible to understand.

"Given how many years he has at war, the people he has killed and the men he has lost. he believes that he is a pro at war. He inst. he will overextend his boundary's, give out commands he has no ideas if they will work. All on the idea that he knows better than everyone else."

For example. This whole quote above is plagued with mistakes, but the section highlighted red is the most glaring mistake.

I think FF mentioned this, but a spellchecker/grammar checker/thingy would help make it all a bit more legible.
@FortunesFaded Sciency space stuff like going to Willman and coming back to find that you're older than your mom. That's the kind of stuff I meant.

Also, we can now make NPC apps?
@User I don't think you're allowed to make NPC characters until FF gives us the okay.
@FortunesFaded Maybe a bit late, but I think we should just forego all of the sciency space bullshit in favor of a smoother and more relatable roleplay experience.

In other news, a question!

If we end up making choices that fit down the basic path you've laid out, leading to the death of all but one, will that survivor be determinant, or have they been preselected?

(no serious qualms with Gera dying, just curious)
@Dynamo Frokane I'm pretty sure every single role has already been "reserved" by someone. Besides, I'm already involved with another RP right now, so I'm afraid I won't have enough time for this one.
John has no family.


Damn, lol.
