OOC Thread for The Awakening

Ok Spartan, I'm going to make some things very clear to you, and it is your choice on how to accept all of this. First, this is an open RP, meaning anyone can join with their charas. Second, you may have been helping develop the story-line, but you were assuming it was endgame already with a couple people playing their charas the way that they do. I was approaching this RP and situation with a lot of tact and consideration, especially considering the level that my chara actually is. I was severely limiting my chara down for this rp to begin with.

For you to jump to the conclusion of me being butt-hurt, you are very far from wrong on that. You voiced your concern about my dragon form being there even though in my post states, along with my ooc post, that it is a very brief appearance. I chose the option to continue to respect the RP and the concern that you voiced. It was obvious that you actually don't care for any deviation from the story that you yourself are setting, showing no sign of adaptation due to situation changes.

You could have very well accepted what was happening and made modifications to go with it, or even see where it was taking. Instead you immediately jumped to a sudden conclusion about what was happening. This is RP, stuff like this happens, and most RP'ers go on the fly. We all don't go by a specific book.

I was not making this one all about me, I was just adding myself into the story. I was going to do a bit sooner and was going to be more subtle, but the point upon my entrance you already had a legion coming. I only posted how my chara would have reacted naturally to that situation, with a tremendous handicap upon my chara to begin with.

Now you can shove your attitude somewhere else and open your mind for once and think instead of reacting next time. What was not needed was your attitude. I was respecting what was voiced and pulled myself out, and instead got this un-needed approach by you. Yes Nayla was hurt, and she is a good friend to many of us, and has known me for many years. I apologize to her about me pulling out, but I did so out of respect for the RP. What was not needed was your attitude and actions that you have pulled.

This is me being blunt. This board is old, but you also demonstrated an attitude and ego yourself, especially when things were seeming to put a damper upon the story that you were creating. Instead of adapting to the situation and making it work to go with what you had planned, you were immediately stating that you were going to make it like an endgame and just pull out all the stops. That sounds like a tantrum to me.

I myself have been in many long-running epic RP's, and many have had situations that called for dire actions at moments, but those did not end the RP. All those within adapted and worked with it, and in truth it made it much more enjoyable for everyone within it. Two of those RP's lasted four about four years, and the others also went long term for a few months.

My suggestion to you, think about what is going on a little bit more and open yourself and what you have planned for adaptive planning. This is RP, we all work together to make a story happen, and all add our parts. If you want it fully as your story, then have it stated that you are the GM and all actions have to meet your approval first. This started as Free-Form, not a GM base.

I'm not butthurt, you outright pissed me off. Those on this board can tell you, I'm normally a very easy-going guy and can adapt to most situations. They also can tell you that one thing that I won't tolerate is BS, some which you have demonstrated this night.

I'm sorry Nayla for this ruining your RP that you have started, and I was planning to enjoy it immensely with all of you, but that has now changed. {Fades.}
 
You can leave if you want, and go sit in your corner and act butthurt, or you can actually take what it happening into consideration and ask yourself "Hmmn, how can I approach this with some level of tact and courtesy to the story without making it all about me?"

Yes, I play a lot of characters in this story, but I do so for the sake of story. Nothing more. This board is old, but attitudes and egos obviously haven't aged with it.

Don't like it? Tough. I'm not nice.

And for your information, this is what pissed me off. Your previous posts did not irritate me at all. I'm clarifying this for your's or anyone else's information. On additional note, you may not be nice, but here at .org we do prefer people being considerate to everyone. This is not .com where the attitude that you demonstrated was part of the norm. Your post could have come out totally different and still say what you meant, and still be respected. My suggestion to you, start thinking your posts to make sure no blatant disrespectful attitude is coming out. You have yourself a good night. {Fades.}
 
Ok Stepping in with my Admin hat on, and I'll have you all kindly know, I do not like wearing this hat! So listen up....

Spartan, I love this RP, it is going along great(even when my posts aren't exactly seen lol), but it is suppose to be a group effort, a story. In any Good book you read there are little climatic spots that enhance the story, let a few happen. Now I do agree with you on the pocket army and I did post my reply in a way that let Anti know that the army was not a grand idea. I've no idea what T's post's where because they where gone before I could read them. But I know T and he only jumps into an RP that looks like it will be going on for a long while.

As for you T, Not everyone knows that your grin fade out is not you being hurt, I know it, Nalya knows it, only because we know you, Spartan does not. This whole thing could have been talked about in pm's or even chat if you two where ever on at the same time. Ajustments could have and still could be made to allow the posting of a dragon. Like I told Spartan, I've no clue what your posts where but I'm guessing it was a bit grand, which is wonderful, so long as the other players know wth is going on.

To all concerned --- Take a deep breath...step back a moment, breath out...---
My suggestions is this --- Drop the anger on both sides, discuss where the plot is going and be respectful of all players
I personally was hurt a bit by the statement of ego's etc, since I am older then the damned boards, but I'm going to let it go...We want to rp, all of us. I don't know about all of you, but I need this little break from reality. If I wanted attitude, hurt or to be ignored, I can get that shit in my own home from the ungrateful little...Never mind, I think you get the point, I hope you get the point...

STAY CALM AND RP ON!!!!
 
It would appear that the state and readiness of the "Army", more of a scattered militia, that Matron has access to was not clarified by myself. 300 veteran men that have fought with/for Matron in the past, yes. Standing by ready for conflict and highly trained to the point of ready at a moments notice for a strategic strike through a way gate...no. Matron has disbanded his rule of his land for the most part distributing the land that was once his to the people that now live within 10,000 feet of his walls and to those still living inside of them (Not many there). They all work and live together more or less as a village where everyone works together for each other. There are less than 1,000 people in whole and the 300 that could be called on are all nearly as old as Matron or older. And are farmers for the last several years. The archers are the only ones that maintain training as they are the hunters for the people and provide meat when available. The younger are held to the ranks of Infantry until reaching a more mature age.

Yes going through a way gate would help to rally them faster however it would have still been 2 days minimum to get them ready to file through the gate. Not to mention 300 is not an army at all to the likes of legions. So to say "Army in the pocket" is not quite right, however I can see where the comment came from and that is my fault.

I thought giving both Spartan and Sinful the opportunity to shut that idea down was enough, as well as doing the thoughts of Matron post, to give the idea that Matron was thinking it, But me his controller was unsure of the direction of the RP. I wanted Spartans character to say yes or no, however Sinful shut it down with the ways being off limits.

None the less sorry for the misunderstanding, I'm very rusty it would seem. More details in the future. Keep this in mind with me also, if I didn't start the RP I'm just a character in it until someone asks me to take control of some things. You can always hit me OOC, or PM and ill change a post so it dosn't throw chains in a story.

Spartan I am very much enjoying this and have the feeling that you have a good story with much thought put into it. The Kharzai are intriguing and I respect that, anyone that can make elves interesting to me has something going on!

Flexible to the point of fluidity, its a must in alot of aspects of life!
 
Spartan is there any way to give us a lay of the land. From my understanding:

Long valley leading to a dead end "bowl" type scenarion with Iron Hold located at its back. Im thinking Moria from Lord of the Rings for Iron Hold, Im probably wrong.

The Kharzai cheif is at or near the mouth of the valley thrashing badies left and right, I think he still is.

We have at least one Legion (10,000 Troops?) Lizard Men closing on him.

A Small'ish contingeant of Kharsai deeper in the valley rallying and setting to slow the assault.

Khan taking the majority of the Kharzai into the hold.

Nalya, Sinful and the boy are in my head on the left side of the valley as Tyrtaeus and Matron ride towards them somewhere about midway and are currently encountering Lizard Men Scouts or some such thing?
 
I went to pm's to see if the army thing was a go or no go for others and the answer was no go, I tried to shut it down nicely :p ...When in question, I never assume, I ask...I do hope you'll stay :)..*Is still looking for her dusty ego* lol

Found this from Once Upon A Time
 
Yep...and already in the throneroom. They appeared on the ridge, walked down through a tower built into the mountainside and are now in the throneroom.

Things are going from bad...to worse...
 
So either there is some back story reading I have yet to do in a thread other than the IC thread or we are not supposed to know who or what they are yet?
