without letting them know they can post for whatever reason
You have a fair enough point, I should’ve tacked on a sentence. But again I’d like to mention I had gotten
used to the superhero sandbox community onsite that tends to participate in my games (as they have since 2012); people who don’t necessarily
need the green light because it persists as a sort of unspoken rule. I
should have recognized, as a veteran role-player, that with a largely newer group I should adjust my expectations and be more clear where before I didn’t need to be. That is my failing and I take full ownership of that fact.
In my opinion, you weren't directing and leading to a standard I like in my roleplays.
In my opinion, you weren’t giving me chance to. We both failed on communicating upon issues and expectations, either one of us could’ve took the initiative to PM one another and get things sorted. Instead we snarked at each other which is hardly ever productive.
On that note, I’d like to publicly apologize for demeaning yourself (and by extension Jacobite and Sodomite) publicly. Even if I was frustrated I should’ve communicated better than venting like an adolescent, but everyone is human and makes ill judgements at times. I have led a lot of RPs before, with mixed success rates, and this is one of the cases where I seem to be doubting myself after the fact. At least we communicated like adults as a byproduct of frustrations than what this thread generally turns into.
