[The Man With All The Cute Boats]

Dude half the fun of RPing is adapting to unexpected and difficult situations

Anyway I ain't posting shit tonight, I'm too tired to enter the mindset of the great and powerful Inferno Cop, disher out of justice

Also sup Aiden, how's it going

[Elf]

 Valda- Has definitely been approved.

I seriously hope you guys don't do this. Lantz. This isn't a fanfic. You can't "Plan" a storyline. It has to develop organically. You seem to think this RP revolves around only your characters. It doesn't. So stop being mad and just play.

[The Man With All The Cute Boats]

Well okay now, Arch, Lantz was GMed against but there's no need to keep rubbing his face in it.

Let's just drop this particular subject before it becomes too hot.

Not bad! I'm just sorta kinda settling in. I mean really I'm just here for this RP, to be perfectly honest.

Also, your first sentence? Ain't that the truth.

Now I just gotta figure out how to do introductions...

While hoping the vitriol is not going to be a recurring feature of my time here.

Depends on if Lantz continues being like he is.

Welcome, Aiden!

As for getting yourself out there, you can either join one of the current scenarios or just plunk down in a random alley and see what happens.

And hopefully it shouldn't be a problem. If the lantz/Magos fights keep getting out of hand, we'll put a stop to it.

[The Man With All The Cute Boats]

Hey, s'all good about the RP exclusivity.

As for the vitriol, it shouldn't be too much of a problem. Though to be honest, getting it calmed down is an ongoing process.

[lantzblades]

Not the point names, I don't trust arch. I'm more than certain if I continue as I had planned he will use the ruling here to ruin my attempt to play the game. This is not a difficult situation it is an impossible wall which forces me to change everything I was doing. I cannot continue with my characters as I had intended, I didn't join the game for fights and character death. So please post soon names so this stupid fight with the demon can end.

[Bloble]

Hey Aiden, hope you enjoy the RP (it helps not to take it too seriously). So, would that flaming hot lady of yours like to have a cute, infinitely rapeable shota to boss around and banter with, or are you planning on going solo for now?

Then stop planning

I mean seriously rule number 1 of RPs is that any plan you start out with will get rekt somehow, along with all the subsequent ones, because you are playing with other people who are allowed to interact with you in any way that is IC both positive and negative, and this will invariably change things.

You have to adapt to unexpected and difficult situations, as one of the basic points of RPing.

If you don't want people to alter your plans for your characters, then write a story, don't participate in an RP. It's really that simple.

[Aiden]

Thanks for being so welcoming, Alice!

Magos, as your GM in another game please take this as someone who has witnessed the pattern with you before: You really need to calm down. I'm not taking sides here, but it takes at least two people to have a shit throwing contest. Don't be the other guy throwing shit around.

It doesn't just hit your target.

@Bloble: I... would actually have to consider that, so let me get back to you. It's almost 2 am here.

[Alice]

You're very welcome! New members are always appreciated.

[lantzblades]

Sorry but no, I'm allowed character objectives. In order to change the status quo events need to happen, there has to be some plan and this was a very loose plan, it was facilitating a character to change which can't happen anymore because it hinged on other player not being able to kill familiars, constructs and the like without challenge.

setting a scene or event is important and I'm convinced that it will be entirely ruined by Arch and Rauls reality warping crap just because.

[Alice]

lantz, Elf made her ruling. That's her right as GM. Please drop this, we've had enough arguing about this for one night.
