My name is Corporal Sparklesue. I am specialized in undercover missions, and covert OPs because of my small height(4'9"). I love to get hyper by eating a ton of sugar and pester the enemy until they go insane and kill them selves as well. I am also a black belt in both Tae Kwon Do, and Poke Fondu. |3

Ok. Not cool.

Yes. I just started this RP. Yea, against my better judgment it's on Gaia, and I feel a bit pressured to play a 'Special snowflake ttly special' character, just to keep up with you all since you do it. But it looked, you know, fun. Plus I really had a character idea I wanted to play.
Perhaps I should have ran when I noticed it REQUIRED an anime picture. While I prefer well written descriptions, or drawing my own art, I shrugged it off and found something I thought fit my manipulative little ice queen.

But uh yea. I'm pretty sure I'm going to drop this now. I don't care if your super awesome Mod of the year. It's not cool to take control of my character. I mean, perhaps if you asked me before, and it was for a good reason sure I might say yes. But for something as simple as agreeing to coffee? Really? This just sort of perplexes me, to be honest. If your willing to control my character for me, in something as simple as going for coffee, I have to wonder exactly what else you would try to do.

( mostly about WoW raid stuff, not much about 'rp' rp, yeah, just move along )

Was I right in what I did? No.
Was raid lead right to hold it against me when they can't even manage their own raid? Now that's something we can be sure to debate. It would be one thing to want to help this person, but you'd start that by telling them they have no business in this raid until they learn their damn class!

There is something very irritating about GMs who have massive hard-ons for their own PCs.

But then, things can get outright out of hand.

Sure, man, love your PCs as much as you want, but I WILL draw my line when ordered by my GM superior to purposely sabotage the NPC belonging  to another PC so he won't shadow his own Pet NPC.

The game is 4th D&D Ed, and I am one of the "minor" GMs, running personal storylines, stuff mostly for character development, you know, rivals\lovers, personal goals, etc. In short, stuff that won't give you a lot of gold or glory but will make people (hopefully) love their character more.

And that was when I delivered my resignation letter.

The End.

I've started a new steampunk RP; it's my first time running a game in a long time, and so far I'm very excited about the setting and players who have shown interest. They're people I know will cause zero drama, are superbly creative, and are super nice. The plot's fun and (hopefully) engaging. Everything is coming together for opening day.

Sounds idyllic, yeah?

...And then the WTF rolls in.

I gave the canned response with polite explanations for why it was an unacceptable app, but what I really wanted to say goes something like this:

( Long, ranting letter is long. )

As promised, here’s more photos of the beautiful old theater in Birmingham, Alabama I posted before. Part of the reason I got to shoot inside The Lyric Theatre was to compare and contrast the condition of the Lyric, versus the condition of the fully restored Alabama Theatre across the street. The folks who own The Alabama also own The Lyric and due to some personal and professional connections, I had free run of both buildings to shoot over nearly six hours. Obviously this gave me and two other photographers/explorers time to see things that many folks would never notice on a causal tour. It also resulted in 400+ photos just from my camera. Thus said, I’m going to be posting these images for some time to come.

I got some distressing news from fellow ruin-explorer Rob Yasinsac the other day: A large section of Bannerman's Castle, the abandoned weapons arsenal on the Hudson River, collapsed sometime last weekend.

I first started visiting Bannerman's Castle about twenty years ago, and every year we'd always notice the structures would crumble a little more. Now there's a huge piece missing from the main tower, and this no doubt makes the whole building dangerously unstable.

Unfortunately, there doesn't seem to be enough money to preserve all the buildings on the island. Only a month ago, the Bannerman's Castle Trust was trying to raise funds to restore one of the towers on the breakwater because the foundation has deteriorated to the point where it may fall into the river by the end of this winter.

Recently, I decided to make my first ever forray into the magical world of RPs, prodded by a close friend of mine, and searched for an internet board on which to practise and learn the ropes so that I didn't make a total fool of myself.

I had to search around a bit because most of the RPs were very combat-based, which is understandable in the fandom I suppose, and thus had reams and reams of rules and tables and point-systems and little number/letter thingammers with doodaas and bits which all controlled which attacks you could use and what weapons you had. And all of the FAQs for explaining this ridiculously complex system were littered with technical terms and yet more tables and eventually my brain just threw up.

So I looked for a board that was a leeeetul less high-maintenance and a bit more focused on character interaction as opposed to kicking butt, taking names and earning points so you could get that wildly over-compensating, strangely phallic sword you always wanted.
( That was, I think, my first mistake. )

GMOD IS GREAT YOU GUYS

If you wanted your board to be exclusive, maybe you shouldn't have let in players you don't want to play with or just don't like. Not when you've made such a big deal about getting everyone involved. Belittling them to your special group and ignoring their ideas and feelings seems like a real waste of valuable play time. You think they don't notice how you're pulling other players away from them and pushing threads to continue without them?

What is this, Camp Chippewa?


Now that's an idea for a board if a good Gary Granger and Becky Martin Granger could be had...
