Also, do you realize your red text is rather infuriating and makes it seem like you're trying to come across as hostile?


Edit: By the way dude, you spelled 'will' wrong.

You are arguing with a god incarnate (on this site at least). FYI red text is used for mod related buisness, and they use normal text to be normal

I'm actually surprised that the mods are letting this go OT for so long.

and would it hurt to post little bits leading up to this weekend, even just 1/2 paragraphs


[sarcasticly]yey, new page[blows party roll thing]

I am aware of why they use the red text. It still annoys me, especially considering that there's been no editing happening.

Might I also point out that, while I have contributed minimally to the large amount of off-topic posts, it's you guys who've carried it.

"God incarnate". Heh.

@Halonachos - I can understand that, plus you haven't been too active in-character over the entirety of the roleplay (at least, comparatively) so I can only assume you have other things to attend to (don't we all?). Would you like your character killed, or not?

Dudes, I'm considering posting something tonight, but I still have one outstanding piece of work to complete tonight, so I will most likely post on Friday and the weekend. Tomorrow night also holds a slim possibility of me posting something.
But, this event is gonna be big, and to get the best I'll need to do it in large parts. A few paragraphs isn't going to do too much.

I thought we were going to be able to adjust our actions as the event went on?

or are you just going for the kill, and doing one event that will take up the entire next page

Just curious...a thread gets "complaints" by a user flagging another persons post, via the top right "!" in a triangle.

So, I would presume that seeing as this thread is getting "complaints" by its own participants, I would assume that this thread is breathing its last few breaths, as the people who keep it alive, are killing it.

Of course you'll be able to adjust your actions. Doesn't mean that this predicted 10-part event isn't going to have long parts.

Oh, and this definitely won't be the last event.

I wonder who is complaining and why. Not.

I have a feeling that whoever is complaining is amongst those who were involved in the nearly-thread-killing row earlier on. So, they are either inconsiderate or out to ruin others fun.

People who see the preview boxes in the recent threads/survivor games... may notice the content of the tread and/or just be interested on why it's so popular then decide to flag the post based on what they have seen.

so it may not be us

EDIT:

@Darko: FEW [wipes brow]

It is very unlikely that there's people who are not involved in this roleplay who are 'bringing it down', as it were. Hell, most people won't even click on this thread because of the huge amount of pages that there are. Too far ahead in the story, they would presume. Quite rightly, too.

Does it matter?

Seriously, lets just get on and RP...

Oh Silver, how I wish it were that simple.

So much fuss over such a little thing.

We need MOAR event part 2. Type type, go go.

As one of those directly involved in the "nearly-thread killing row" that took place about 40 pages back,I must speak on our behalf, ghosty,jp and myself had,for all intents and purposes "packed our bags" and were headed for the door.
Due to a lot of PM discussion between Dark and myself,I opted to remain in the RP,as jp did as well,ghosty opted to leave and I won't question his wisdom here,however,I believe it unlikely that anyone involved would attempt to sabotage the RP...I for one have invested far to much time and effort into it to want to see it crash and burn.
Now,obviously there is a bit of frustration over the length of time Events are taking to be sorted out,but I don't see why that would be a catalyst for anyone to complain to mods..I'd actually see that as a bit silly.
Nevertheless...I hope with all sincerity that the Event will begin to find it's way into print and that we can all move forward with the RP.

HAHA you have RP problems!

Wait, you saw Jp's last post, right?

Edit: Well, technically second to last.

Gone for a few days and I come back to find.....

Dark is still posting, but doesn't have time to finish the event...

Karon is still spamming "I'm so G, I'm almost a H!" demotivational posters that have NOTHING to do with the topic or RP at all..

And the RP as a whole has gone exactly.... nowhere!

Guess I will check back in... next week!

Or we can all just admit that the damn thing is dead and or dying and just let it do just that. I mean hell, we have less then a page or two of actual content in the last 15-20 pages.



*Edited to clear a few things up*

You mean that one? Oh course he did, stop being so dense. And please, point out where I said in the above that I want this thread to fail, and that I reported to the mods about Dark's slow posting.

Oh that's right, you can't... so once again why don't you stfu. I am getting mighty sick and tired of your constant passive aggressive bull gak.

I sort of can.

I find my "passive aggressive bull gak" to be more entertaining then your "internet tough guy"

"Sort of" is not the same thing as yes. It is either a solid yes, or it defaults to a solid no. And since you physically can't prove jack gak, your argument holds no water.

As for Internet "tough guy"... I don't need the Internet to "act" tough... My 8 year military career as a Cav Scout with two deployments to Iraq (OIF 1&2 5&6) speaks for itself.

What have you done other then sell dope and listen to 2pac? Not much I imagine, and how sad of a person must you be when you openly come to an Internet forum and bitch about how your family is "annoying" you cause they want you to stop selling drugs around the holidays.

I think the only idiot in the above statement is you. Unlike you, your family actually sounds like they have a damn brain in their head and know how to use it.

lord of the ghosts wrote:HAHA you have RP problems!

Get lost, you're not helping anything.



@Karon & jp400 - listen you guys, you're both bringing down this thread with arguing. At least one of you be the bigger man and let it go. Hell, you're bringing what little knowledge you have (or think you have) of each others' lives into it now. Not cool.

If you really feel you need to argue so much, do it via PM. Because everyone is tired of this same old argument.

How about nobody posts until I've posted up some more event tomorrow or Saturday?

Side note - I've got a really bad throat and whatnot so I'd like to have day that doesn't see me having to try and sort this thread out.

No, I can't physically prove anything, because we are conversing via the internet.

Your military experience, again, means nothing to me, aside from that you know what you are talking about when it comes to, well, the military, because we are on the internet.

Your personal attacks are pretty funny, and would like to point out that me posting a sentence about my personal life isn't bitching, I was simply giving the truthful reason for why I may have came off as hostile when I posted that.

But, by the sentence I bolded, its pretty easy to discern that you think the RP is dead, and want it to die already.

I don't hold any hard feelings towards you, for the record. I don't wish for any mod-related punishments for either of us.

You remind me of my father a lot, he served as a marine for eight years.

I could post, but I have all the time in the world to RP myself interacting with NPC's, as I know Dark's event will take quite a long while, which involves I believe everyone but myself, rightfully so with my character in the condition that he is in.

End of that discussion now, please.

Possibly, the reason why you got reported was not because of slow posting, but maybe it's more due to be people getting really quite sick of JP and Karon bitching at each other. I doubt someone would have posted to a Mod complaining that Darko seems to be a bit lazy. Just saying.

Doing a quick search, this is the reason I think why Dark got a warning from a mod:

Not because anyone here reported you for being a slow poster.

Well I will be damned. I barely remember the images I posted.. ah well.


Just incase Karon and/or jp400 decide to argue again, then I will be forced to kill their characters.

Not saying either of you will, but it's a precaution - because this bickering has gone on long enough. Don't force my hand, guys.

My characters death is a small price to pay if it means giving what a majority of the player base has wanted for well over a month now with the death of Uber Ninja and bring peace and sanity back to the RP.

So be it.

Dark aint that a bit childish? I mean, you fought tooth and nail to keep this rp going, and now your saying that you'll kick out players? Isn't that a bit of a contradiction in terms? And not to mention, I'm sure if you threw Jp out, you would certainly ruffle someone's feathers quite considerably. And food for thought, you knock out 2 players, and your left with..what 4 players? Would that really work?

Yes,killing jps character off as a "disciplinary action" would indeed "ruffle some feathers",however I also disagree with killing off Karon for "disciplinary action" as well...I want to kill his character off.
Anyway,I see things in a simple manner,Jp and Karon can call a cease fire and not communicate in any non RP related manner...at all,and Darko can attempt to be a bit more timely in his event post...or we can all pick up our toys and call it a day.

I have never had any intention of attacking JP personally, or insulting him. He posted a mocking comment at me, and I responded in kind.

WELL DON'T RISE TO THE BAIT!!!

it's that easy, if he mocks you ignore it

Karon wrote:I have never had any intention of attacking JP personally, or insulting him. He posted a mocking comment at me, and I responded in kind.

In all fairness both of you have taken shots at each other,just as I myself freely admit to taking shots at you Karon in the past,I'm simply saying a "cease fire" would probably go a long way in prolonging the life of this RP.
If we have any grievances...use them in the RP,turn it into something positive rather than sniping at one another out of character.
...Bleh,when did I become a diplomat??

Yes, lets look forward, grudges do us no good. Do not forget the past, learn from it, and improve.




Not all rap music is what you think.

Only believe half of what you hear.

I'm glad to see we can all finally move on from the bickering.

ghosty, you may call it childish - but how many problems have been caused? How many unnecessary posts of arguing? [rhetorical questions]

Lets just put it all behind us. Will post some event up later today.
