Can I bitch here now? I don't usually, and boi, let me tell you, a twenty-six year old man sent me hate mail on here once and I didn't complain not even once about it.
Ya know what I hate?
Other than everyone and everything like a textbook misanthrope?Waking up to a
hurricane of salt every beautiful British morning that could have been prevented by just a tiny bit of foresight from all parties involved. I stay up to 4AM to keep things going smoothly and with as little drama as possible in RP and then the moment––the
moment––I go to sleep, something happens that then gets amplified and made worse somehow within no more than six hours.
If you're
rejected from a RP, don't go taking said RP's specific formatting. Make your own similar roleplay 'with blackjack and hookers', it doesn't matter, but c'mon, copy-pasting is a step too far. It's basic immaturity. Similarly, if you're
not the GM of a RP, don't go all on a crusade on behalf of the GM team when they ain't even awake. Level-headedness is paramount, and drama should absolutely be kept to PMs and not dragged into another person's OOC or a bitching thread because all it does is damage your friends' reputation and gives them a headache––almost everyone involved with running a RP knows this (or should).
That's why the rejection was done via PM in the first place, and why a request for credit in the CS (or a request to not use it in the first place) would have-should have also been done via PM.
(I differ from some of you in that when I borrowed the first non-standard CS I ever used, HushedWhispers', I made sure to get permission and credited accordingly, because her sheet was inspiring for its time. I guess it's just a politeness thing, because when people put work into something, I feel like they should deserve some kudos for it––especially when they could have used something bog standard. Anyway, I digress... :>)
RPG is why I'm a neurotic, highly-stressed control freak, guys.
