Yeah YOLF, I didn't entirely respond, I felt that getting that point out there was a primary requirement for the conversation to move forward.

How do you move the conversation forward if you change subjects and don't address the current points?

before this RP the context was them asking spoiler stuff of the fanfic, which we've already established is ok to keep tight lipped about. In regards to the RP I take the point that I ought to be more open but my previous points about conspiracy to pk also stand.

Metagaming like that is forbidden, and I doubt anyone, most of all Elf, will stand for such blatant use of it even if you do elaborate upon your characters when asked to do so.

so no I don't disagree exactly but before moving forward I would like the other side to acknowledge the problem they have willfully created.

Lantz, the problem honestly comes from both sides. That was the point I was trying to make, which seems to have flown over your head.

(The troubling thing is at this point, the problem is also an inflationary vicious cycle that can't be easily broken.)

I don't believe in caustic criticism, rage blinds the point. I want to understand feedback, not feel like killing myself is a valid life option. People are smart enough to have an opinion, they should be smart enough to convey said opinion without the anger.

If you are honestly that sensitive I suggest you take some time off from this or not even venture into any place where you can receive feedback to begin with lantz.

I'm not saying it's right for people to give opinions and critique interlaced with anger or demeaning words, but it happens partially because of you. I tell you to try and distinguish the points people make from the offensive portions of their retorts, and to think about them, since this keeps happening because most of the time you don't address any points well to begin with. Refer back to the previous part of this reply. You are as responsible for the situation as everyone else whose interjections you take offense to, in a way.



Also, hey, Brah, watch the choice of words. xD

Starting the thread yourself makes it harder for me to mediate but not by much.

Any future questions about Lantz's Characters should be directed here

Starting the thread yourself makes it harder for me to mediate but not by much.

Honestly, I don't think it does at all. Being the thread starter doesn't really get you special privileges, it's more the context of the thread (so, in a fanfic thread the author has some limited ability to say "no, I don't want this here", whereas in a general discussion thread about a broad topic the creator is irrelevant).

Ultimately, it's entirely at the discretion of the moderation team what is and is not enforced, and whether you or Lantz started the thread doesn't really change that.

[lantzblades]

Thank you Kuro

[Gray]

I appreciate that you've thought of such a containment thread so it doesn't screw over the rest of the RPers Kuro.

Lantz, You seem to be a little dismissive of my arguments, do you think I am one of those "haters" or "trolls" yet?

[lantzblades]

You tend to be overly forceful Gray, it makes you hard to respond to.

[Gray]

May you elaborate on the forcefullness? I've been trying to remain calm and polite. I made the comment about your character practically coming from original fiction since the context of the Nasuverse defines very little of their abilities and that I have to basically assume as much as I would with a completely original character about.

[Kat]

Gray, have you decided with what character your symbiote will merge, since I could volunteer with a third character.

[Brahmastra]

Wait, wait wait, lantz. We're supposed to believe that Satoshi forged a sword with rank that implies it's power is equal to Ea, Avalon, Vasavi Shakti and Transmigration Unto One, while stark raving batshit, with his own hands? I assure you that people have hated a lot more and gotten a less out of it.

[Gray]

I still haven't gotten word from Soldat. I'll PM him on BL to as I don't thing he checks DSM too much.

[Alice]

Gray, have you decided with what character your symbiote will merge, since I could volunteer with a third character.

Probably what I'd suggest doing is trying different people to see if there's strong compatibility with anyone else. Anyone that doesn't want to be involved with this can just state as such and with which characters if it's for anyone specific in the thread. If none of the remaining characters are a match, than Kat can make the specially made character.

...Honestly, I think that's partly why the whole fight earlier was so infuriating, it could have been solved much earlier on if lantz had just said in the thread that he didn't want Toshi to bond with the Symbiote before anything did anything further instead of reacting how he did with Toshi in the RP itself. ...I'll drop it at that though, the less drama the better. ^^"

[Gray]

Part of me wishes I didn't need permission as that's just how symbiotes work, but since he only threatened me with Satoshi instead of telling me to cease and desist out of character I thought he was inviting the struggle.

[Brahmastra]

The biggest problem is that we have a ruleset that enforces pacifism to an extreme because you cant do any permanent damage to anyone ever without their stamp, signature and social security number.

[Umbra of Chaos]

Well, you and Moony didn't really care about that. With hits being exchanged without permission. Made it a bit more fluid.

[lantzblades]

Brah this is not the place for this discussion.

Gray, while you may not have understood it, I did attempt to get you to stop out of character.
