I'm beginning to think your last comments aren't so harmless as the ones before, most specifically calling people for not posting and pressuring @RiverMaiden to meet your expectations might be having a definitive negative impact on the RP in general. We don't want anyone to feel pressured into anything here. The most we ever do is presenting a scenario and telling people to act and if they don't do, consider their characters frozen, but like I said many times before, telling people how they should act or not is beyond even our authority as GMs and someone who isn't one really should look before doing something that might impair others' fun.
Plus, I advise you to take care when doing jokes about one of us, however, I can't speak on @TheWindel's place, so I'll let they say it in case they have any complaints.
I'm not entirely sure I follow what you're saying since the only person I've supposedly "pressured" is RiverMaiden. And....
@RakuraiI hope I don't disappoint with my post :D it'll be up in 5 hours or so, depending on how long my teacher wishes to keep me in school for this test I'm about to take.
First and foremostly the 'disappointment' was a direct response of River's opening statement.
And was clearly a jest remark, as it should be obvious that I'm not sitting here getting all depressed and moody just because of one post (or lack thereof). The comment wasn't intended to be taken seriously, and I honestly doubt my so-called 'expectations' have much, if any impact upon the level of pressure felt by people. If that isn't the case and people are genuinely concerned they need to post for my sake... well... I'd be happy to refrain from commenting on them in any way henceforth.
In this particular instance River said they'd post in a set number of hours, and weren't able to do so.
That's perfectly fine, and I suspect something came up (and even if it didn't that's not an issue).
But since I've enjoyed reading River's posts so far, I was naturally looking forward to what they'd come up with, and was a bit disappointed when there wasn't one to read. Disappointment being along the lines of "Oh bummer, no post, ah well moving on~"
Furthermore I don't think I've told anyone to behave or act in a certain way. So I have no idea what you're cautioning me on (and as a result can't really fix my behavior). I've given my thoughts on certain events and issues, sure. But I can't seem to uncover anything that's demanding someone behave in a certain way.
Either way, I apologize sincerely to
@RiverMaiden if they felt insulted by my comment, and as stated above will avoid further mentionings. But otherwise I'm not entirely sure why a GM is intervening when no actual offense (complaint) has been launched? Same applies to Windel, if they're offended by the obvious joke (that you acknowledged was a joke yourself) I'd be genuinely astonished.
