NOBODY ASKED FOR MY OPINION BUT HERE LET ME OFFER IT ANYWAY
Hi, Boss! So I saw you around in a few threads before Shine City
@Dynamo Frokane and I have to admit, at least from my personal perspective, your behaviour was a bit...off-putting (for lack of a better word) and some of the things you said definitely made me say "yikes". But the thing is I didn't say anything because...well it wasn't my disagreement and it had nothing to do with me. So I practiced an art that seems to be lost on a lot of people in this day and age and stayed in my own lane and minded my own business. Your actions have an impact on others and yes reputation IS important but at the end of the day not everyone is going to like you. I'm sure there are people on the guild who don't like me. Probably even people in this roleplay, but so what? My job isn't to please the people on the guild and neither is yours. Once I joined the thread you seemed like an okay guy who was genuinely nice to be around - if that isn't enough for people then fine, but you shouldn't feel the need to change for anyone because, as has already been touched on, RPG is supposed to be a place anyone can come and roleplay not a place where only those who are morally acceptable by a specific standard can have a good time.
As for Shine City; I haven't seen any complaints, but if there are those in this thread who feel uncomfortable with you GMing the thread then frankly
THEY should leave. When I saw Shine City was your thread I won't lie I was a little apprehensive but if I didn't think I could work with you then the responsibility is on me to not join, not for me to join and complain that you're running the roleplay - a fact I already knew when I signed up - and to then force you out of your OWN creation. The onus of responsibility is not on you to ensure that I like you enough to join your roleplay it's mine.
I'll be honest with you and say that I think at least half of this (possibly more) is your own paranoia and insecurities getting the better of you instead of reason because it doesn't seem like anyone actually wants you gone - and if they do then they should just pack up and leave because honestly they're not more entitled to be here than the OWNER OF THE THREAD. I'm not going to give you a pep talk or stroke your ego but I will repeat what I said before: You seem like a decent guy and I enjoyed roleplaying in your thread. I'd like you to stay and if your opinions don't match mine? That's fine. If a problem arises? We'll deal with it. If people expect you to answer for actions or comments by you in your OWN thread then fuck them.
Shine City seems to be a happy roleplay with lots of the OOC jokes and wonderful IC characters and you are a part of that and you created it. I don't care about politics or personal beliefs or really anything. I just want to roleplay with this group of darlings. You shouldn't let the opinions of others force you out and honestly I'd just like for us to all have a friendship picnic.
Love you guys
