Its not bloble, I stated in this thread earlier at some point I internalize criticism. It's the way I write.

further I did not delete those threads to avoid criticism, that is a blatant lie spread by arch and others. I deleted the threads so as to not have duplicates when I tried to alter the format to increase understanding of the discussion at hand. It failed but the result is separate from the intent.

you can view me as a prick, that's your choice but determining that before you've tried to know me is only going to cause me to be wary of you dude.

everyone always has a clean slate until they come at me as far as I'm concerned though.

and YOLF just to correct you from earlier. I said I thought my effort would not be rewarded, not that specific people were to blame

[YOLF]

Sorry, can't help you there. Not a hot cocoa person much.

Actually I even burned my tongue in it this Christmas.

I misremembered your words lantz, but in the end I think it comes down to the same thing: that you weren't willing to take the first step and see if things worked out from there.

[Bloble]

That's fine lantz. In the end, the above rant was just me summarizing my opinion of you in a few paragraphs. I don't really harbour any malicious intentions towards you. If I had to rate my feelings on you on a scale from -100 (bloody murder) to 100 (have my babies), I'd put you at a solid -2 (some dude on the net who I think is a bit of an ass). So yeah, that's about it. It's not like that's how it's always gonna be or anything, and I wish you the best of luck in your endeavours, but this is just what I'm thinking at the moment.

And to Alice, I was about to recommend the choco that comes with those tiny marshmallows, but I got distracted by ranting instead. Oops.

I'd actually really like to be a mod, but not because of my behaviour towards lantz. I don't think it's something to be applauded.

[Alice]

@YOLF: Ouch. D: That's no fun, especially since it tends to work down your taste buds in the process.

But it's cool, some foods aren't for everyone. I even have a cousin that doesn't like chocolate of any kind, so I can understand.

@Bloble: Ooooh, I like that type. Though I also like putting in my own marshmallows. ...especially when all the little marshmallows are gone because I drink that part first. :<

And as for dat mod request... Congratulations, good sir, welcome to the team! And if it makes you feel better, I was considering you for mod for your general broness and negotiating abilities rather than any one specific thing you said, so rejoice!

Also, glowy name color is a thang for staff members, hit me with a color.

[YOLF]

Congratulations for the new post, Bloble!

[lantzblades]

YOLF I've been burned a lot putting myself out there to make the effort for others and eventually it gets to be far too hard to get up and roll out just to get stabbed in the back.

I had hoped I could go back to being the me I was before the new bl. When things were awesome and chill but I can't as things are. Arch never stops harassing me and Alice has had an opinion about me since before I ever said two words to her which as far as I can tell has colored her vision and attitude towards me from the start.

back when evospace rolled bl I was motivated and awesome I did shinji's route and it was fucking awesome and pie and medusa killed Gil in his face, rock smash mother fucker!

I came here to reclaim a sense of inner peace and tranquility which gave me drive but now I'm honestly convinced that anything I post here will be blasted unfairly and that I will be put on trial for the use of my basic rights.

[YOLF]

lantz, nobody is going to go after you for the simple fact that you exercise your rights to post and have your own opinions like every other user of this forum. The problem is what comes after.

It's your content, it's your attitude towards criticism, it's your viewpoint that you rarely bother to explain because you're concerned about... something, and it's the fact that you don't seem to make concessions. Forget the past, I mean now. So long as one interacts with others, people are required to make concessions to understand each other and reach compromises which both sides can be content with.

But you can't seem to work towards that - you're not even trying to make us understand anymore. I also think you suffer from a bit of victim complex, but that might just be me.

[Bloble]

People are always going to judge you, lantz. That's just how it is. I hope you get your mojo back, and that I'll one day get to meet the awesome, motivated you, and read an excellent work of yours. I sincerely think that would be fun. But right now, I'm judging you based on what I've seen (and nothing else, certainly not the opinions of others), and so far it hasn't been very good.

As for colour... I'll go with orange, for no particular reason. A nice contrast to the purple, I suppose.

[lantzblades]

See YOLF that is kinda what I'm getting at when I say people don't listen. I just said I internalize criticism, it's a valid method and it absolutely means that I do take criticism.

the only things I ignore are over emotional posts (I have said repeatedly people need to stay calm because it's a story, not real life) and insults.

my content story wise is my choice, I hate to repeat myself but if you don't like it then don't read the story. If you don't like ShirouXSaber then why read it? Hopefully that makes sense.

the other thing is (with FSN especially) I will whole sale ignore canon if the myth makes more sense. For example king Arthur being 52 Rather then 26 at the age of death (time wise fsn's canon makes little sense)

the past is the basis of now, I would like to be more open and responsive to things and people but I need something from the rest of you (especially Alice and Arch)

Chill out, it's make believe, it's a recreational activity. Enjoy the ride rather then stress out about everything. Bloble earlier in this thread asked me a question, explained things and when I replied he did not freak out or get mad when my reply was not in line with what he said. He was chill and respectful. And for that I respect him.

earning my respect is easy, chill out, accept that people are different from you and accept they have a right to be in all aspects.

[Alice]

The orange is now there for Bloble. If you ever want a color change, just shoot me a PM, post in the mod forum, etc.

[Bloble]

Orange you glad you made me a mod?








Had to say it.

[Cherry Lover]

And since I got this weird numb feeling where I don't feel those pesky emotions anymore without the aid of drugs or alcohol just right before I started typing that post, and am also kinda worried about fate of the forum sorts of things, please give me feedback on that last post. While probably the insults in there weren't needed... To be honest, I kinda did that thing that I said previously that I shouldn't do where I let lantz get to me sort of things. But yeah, since I'm worried, people that aren't lantz please give feedback.

Alice, there is no way that post deserved a warning, and we're meant to give warnings on the basis of group consensus, not you getting mad and handing one out. I understand you being mad with Lantz, but you cannot hand out warnings because you're upset. That is what got me banned from BL.

I really don't know what to do about this....

[Daiki]

Sorry for going back to the RP content but, why all your characters are leaving the place, Lantz?

I understand that you don't want to reveal the content of that trunk. However, I find your two last posts a bit rushed.

I remember you having a legitimate complaint about how your characters didn't interact much with others and that them being left aside was bothering you. We provided you a good reason to start a discussion with the other PCs and, I was secretly hoping, you would allow us to discover more about Satoshi. It was the moment to put any misconception straight the group might have towards him. Because, if I'm not mistaken, only Rider and Sakura knew it was a bluff and that the Servant went there willingly. We could have had an interesting dynamic there.

Yet, you chose to isolate all of your characters without even trying. You even, apparently, forgot that Sakura was still resting in this last post.

I just don't understand dude. Wouldn't you reconsider your decision? We won't start a fight IC if you're not willing to. And, as far as I'm concerned, that wasn't the reason Shuya confronted your characters, it just felt like a necessary step for further interactions and establish who's getting along with who. For example, Shuya would accept it if Satoshi would explain it(the whole threatening Kiyoshi's mother thing) was simply a bluff he used. Or AM influence.

You should exchange with our characters, otherwise it's simply putting them in a delicate situation(antagonized and isolated) yourself, and I don't think that's something you want.

[Cherry Lover]

Actually, Daiki, Sakura left some time ago.

But, yes, I do find Lantz's most recent posts a bit odd, especially since Kiyoshi is currently standing there with a pair of swords and hasn't got so much as an explanation yet. They're literally just walking out of the door without even bothering to say a single damn thing to anyone.

[Elf]

So I've got a bit of a question for you, Elf (or Alice, if you know the answer).

Are we allowed to introduce NPCs in a scene solely for the purpose of killing them and showing off how badass our characters are? I'm not aiming to make a habit of it or anything like that, but Jojo's the kind of guy who can't really be introduced in a non-awesome way, so I figure I'll do some random vamp mook killing in his first post, just to establish the character and such.

The answer to that would be yes.

Because it's Jojo.

(Now we need a Dio Brando here.)
