Paralogue: Raid on Halebend

[Eric]

Justify it however you wish.

Calm down, Anon :\ I have enough experience to know how important screenshooting is when something happens. My fear was that one of the staff would delete the messages and reprimand us without taking screenshots or quoting. And if they explain the situation to the other staff members, they would be paraphrasing us from memory.

[Eric]

Dude, nothing happened >.> that's the thing. it's me saying "let's just get a time limit so we can move a little faster" it's nothing to get worked up about. What's aggravating me is that you can't just take it at face value and move on with your life. So what if I posted it in the thread? If it's just gonna get quoted and moved here to begin with there's no reason to get your panties in a twist in the first place. If it's proposed with agreeable terms that you're gonna accept anyway there's no point to spend so much energy on it. There's certainly no cause for you to say

Anon, you are missing the point.

What I feel was not my personal stance. I was calling you out for:

1) Putting that up in our thread. As I said, you should have PMed us. You said you were sorry for having to post up an OOC message there, but I don't think you realize how embarrassing that was.

2) I did not actually make it a point that people here have lives. I never said that people were busy. Look at what I said again. I merely said that you were making assumptions that were rude and insulting.

You seem to be under the impression I'm being defensive and that I am against a 48-hour rule. I'm not. But that doesn't change that you don't have any right to impose rules on us, whether it's your paralogue or not. What you CAN do, however, is to ask us and trust me, we would have agreed.

which has some obviously attacking word choices. Firstly, you were calling me out for something. Secondly, I should have been embarrassed about something. Thirdly, you were telling me that I was wrong and implied that I wasn't paying attention to what you were saying. With a response like this it was trying for me to not chew you out. Rather than creating drama where none exists, I would rather us simply move on.

I chose to be blunt to make you see the point. Your message to me was:

alright, dude, srsly, I'm trying to be civil however this isn't me asking. you may say that I don't have the right to do this, and you'd be right if I hadn't made the paralogue. Everyone decided to join my paralogue and it's honestly rude to me as its creator that the rounds are taking 9+ days. I can see your point of view that people have lives. I've been patient to now thinking that perhaps in a few weeks things might pick up a bit. Things, in fact, got slower to the point it's going to be taking nearly 2 weeks for a single round. Try to see why some people might not want to wait that long yet might not want to speak up due to receiving responses like yours in the thread. I'm the type of person who's blunt and honest-- however I'm not about to call you or anyone else out on this. Just to let you know, it was happenstance that it landed on this post-- however if you look at the history, you aren't the only one doing this. I'm not singling you out and by putting it in the thread I'm not pointing my finger at you in particular. I'm sorry if you feel that way. For the sake of keeping the thread clean, however, I'm deleting my posts beyond my first and I would ask you do the same.

The only thing I was telling you that you could have just PMed us regardless. In the respond later, you said that feel that it was up to you to make a solution. I told you that instead of suddenly taking it out in front of everyone, you could have just asked us politely personally.

It may not make a difference to you whether to post in a thread or to PM us, but it makes a difference for other people.

All I was hoping was for you to understand that and to apologize. I'm sorry if I'd put you into a stressful position. I didn't think you'd take things personally, since I thought we got along well enough to be straightforward with each other.

[Eric]

There is a difference between straightforward and attacking, and on the topic of 'getting along well enough' we haven't actually had many times where we've interacted beyond this thread. And the fact that the very first time I post something like this you get all in my grill isn't saying much for the fact that we supposedly 'get along' xD

Add:  yeah, I know I'm not an easy person to get along with.  I can be imposing and stubborn (especially online)-- but I'd regard myself as generally a fair person.  I've just noticed through my life that when I don't take charge things don't tend to happen or get brought to light.

Hey, when you first joined the site and had an app up, I already told you that Rikon (my former character) and Eric could use to have a plot. There was an "Ylissean lord" support spot for Rikon in his tracker. I was debating if it should be Eric, but I thought I'd wait to see first.

And we talk about manliness and flowing hair, remember?

I was the only one in the paralogue who suggested an actual team name...

I also mentioned to you about how I was looking through my characters, wondering who I can have to join your group. Based from how things were going, I was thinking it would be Tres. Due to the turn of events, I told Kuroya Dorian might not be able to recruit him now.

If you don't think we get along well enough, it's fine because things like that could be one-sided. But to me, I thought we did.

I didn't mean for my reply there in the paralogue to be attacking. I wanted to balance the scales. By posting something like that, it would only be fair to respond back in the same manner. Maybe to you, nothing was "happening" but that was the first time I saw someone break the thread and put up an OOC comment with a new rule without bringing it up to the staff at least.

(sorry, missed the edit)

We're shaped by our experiences, even the way I acted. I'm sorry, Anon.

ffffff-- didn't remember Rikon-- I have a bad memory with this kinda thing x.x

Long flowing locks that glisten as you ride away into the setting sun is the only way to go~ Only real men look like girls~!

I do remember something like that, but-- again-- I have a bad memory and that's why I have the Eldrich Private Army page in the Barracks! *shameless self-promoting for anyone reading all the way to this~ ;D* also it really does help to post plots in the plot planner for me or I tend to forget them or think people just aren't interested in RPing with Eric.

But as far as getting along, I think it's only after you've butted heads with someone at least once something like that can be determined. I mean, some people just plain give up after that-- and understandably so since I am stubborn. I just have a different way of gauging is all. *shrugs*

I can understand where you're coming from. If it bugs you that much I'll just pm stuff or post it on the plot page next time.

[nazt]

I don't usually post in plot pages lol. I don't want plots to be hyped when it can't be done yet in the near future.

But anyway, thanks for understanding. I don't want to draw this out any longer but I figure I should leave a reply back for closure.
