Maybe you weren't trying, but that's definitely how it came across.

Speaking of childish, isn't it a little childish to just run over here and make a rant when you've barely gotten to RP with us? I know you take reading posts seriously, but you've BARELY RPed with us at all. You're not qualified to be able to make a complaint like this. It'd be more understandable if you had been here longer and had been in more RPs rather than assuming we don't read posts or that we leave out details. This is just one instance of that.

We try hard to have fun though, even if all the details may not be correct.

In an add on I will always stick by my opinion.

If my 'starting it by nitpicking' is what you believe, please go back and look at my posts. I started with a simple question which you dodged. I corrected you and you did not respond. It then escalated.

People have questioned several times where Olivia's been getting her stuff, and I've explained (and Olivia's probably explained) that she packed it. I figure that warrants a rant.

I would like to point out this this board has rants about the god damned president. Does that apply to just you guys as well?

This is in general my opinion. I quit rp-ing before for a very similar reason. I am not saying that 'no one here reads these posts' I am saying that it is something that should be done to stop certain things from happening.

This rant was not about you accusation about the tunics

When I first presented them in the rp I was accused as well, even though my post of packing was only a few pages behind that one. It happened to me elsewhere before, I know for a fact people don’t always read everything. Then it happened here more than once.

Oh dear. If you're comparing your rant childish-ness with a rant about the President, I'm sad to say you've got things horribly messed up.

What the President does effects everyone in America (why do you think everyone hated Bush?) It's reasonable to rant about the President since they are a very important discussion topic.

This rant, on the other hand, pales in comparison. Opinions are important, but if you're saying complaining about RP post reading and the President are similar, you are sadly mistaken. Your nitpicking is not nearly as important as whether or not the President is doing a good job.

By the way, it's not nice to assume from past experiences. If you see is a couple times here, don't assume it'll happen every single time. Really though, sorry that we don't fit your RPing standards. We make mistakes. Whoop-de-doo. Just RP and have fun.

I was not comparing the rants importance to the president (I’m relatively sure I made it clear) as I stated I was comparing the subject. Was the rant about the president about this board? No it wasn’t, was my rant explicitly about this board, no it wasn't. If I ranted about how I had sneakers would it be about this board? No it wouldn’t.

Maybe i care to much to actually rp. Maybe I try to make things make sense, maybe that’s where (like said above, what is with me repeating myself?) I get the fun out of rp-ing?

In no way did I assume people here do not read posts I posted what I felt. That is what this board is for. Hell if this rant was for anyone, it was for me. Rants (in my opinion) are for releasing energy.

You do realize I was pointing out how the childish-ness between the two was totally different, right?

And that you have not actually pointed out you were comparing the subject previously (I read your previous posts and checked, which is probably hard to believe. I didn't see it anywhere).

Not to mention the whole first part of your reply just now doesn't make sense to me anyway >_>;

Anyway, I'm done with this rant. My opinion on the whole thing still hasn't been changed, just so you know. And I know yours won't either. So rather than continue being stubborn and wasting my time trying to reason with another stubborn person, I'm just gonna walk away and enjoy the rest of my night.

Of course I still think you're wrong though. Just saying.

DAMMIT. WILL YOU FOUR SHUT UP ALREADY. FAYT, OLIVIA, AND BOBBY(IE) ALL THREE MADE MISTAKES. IT DOESN'T MATTER ANYMORE. FAYT SAID THE RP IS DONE.
...

That being said, I also love a good argument. Also, I'm not sure, but I think that this is the first time I've agreed with Foxby on such a subject. Anywhore. Fayt, you compared Olivia to an "Amanda 2.0" Um. No. She's nowhere near the bad that was Amanda. Were Fai, the person who got almost as pissed off as you when you were blocked due to her, here, he'd tell you the same thing. Amanda posted a sympathy seeking rant about every month and BAWWWWW'd when she got none, threatening to end her life. In an RP, she was horribly controlling and pulled things out of the plothole known as her ass.Olivia so far has posted one rant, and instead of seeking sympathy, she's complaining about something like we've all done. In the RP, she's trying to make things make sense where they should. If it was about a wacky world with magic and flying guinea pigs? Fine, no real sense there. In a sci-fi one that should have grounds in the real world possibilities? Sense is definitely needed, a lack of sense would end up spawning something like Twilight. But with aliens. Furthermore, I seem to recall when asking you what I should do during the mega filler, you gave me responses such as "Just post something." or "Do what you want." Hmm, I do believe making what was in the pod in order to survive would fit into that category. As for the tunic, sure, its not the most likely choice, but who cares? I do believe we were in a coma for THREE FREAKING YEARS. FASHION WON'T CHANGE THAT MUCH. People still use tunics today. Also, Olivia and Booby(ie) have a completely valid point. Boiling water would get rid of a lot of the bad stuff, but not all of it. You said yourself multiple times that these peeps weren't too technology advanced. Odds are, they aren't aware of that many diseases and its not likely that they are good at keeping things clean. You also said yourself that as far as you could tell, there weren't any bars of soap or anything to wash the pan more with. Okay, so that means that you would've had to clean the pan with warm water. that's safe. I'm not saying that you had to go through 45,984,815 pages of sanitation like the other two did, but you could have clarified that the water was indeed clean, instead of just saying it looked clean to you. They also pointed out that we might be able to catch diseases that they can't. That is completely possible. In case you forgot, this is an alien planet. We know that they are tan, taller than us, and have slightly similar animals. Nothing else. For all we know, there could be dinos running around, or diseases that make AIDS or Cancer look like a cold.

Also, if you weren't interested in the RP anymore, then you should've publicly said it so that a break could have been taken or the RP could've been dropped. You also said that "I'm done with this RP, its got Cancer and you two are what gave it that." Oh, yes, because you had nothing to do with the RP whatsoever. You said that you were intending to turn PL into a book. They're nitpicking, just like any decent editor would do so that your book doesn't fail at life. If that's making this a job instead of a hobby and it has already killed your interest in writing the rest of the 'story', then you better look for a new hobby. Because if you just bypass the nitpicking editors, you'll either end up with Twilight or be ridiculed as an author. Finally, if you really had such a problem with the tunic, then you should have said something when she first posted about it. None of you voiced a problem with it, so it isn't fair to her as an RPer to wait pages and then say "WAIT YOU CAN'T DO THAT." It happened too long ago. Also, you broke two of your own rules for the RP, so if they're the cancer, what does that make you? The rules in question being: "There will be no fighting each other unless directly asked for" and yet you just about killed Foxby because he did something with his life that he wants to do, that was really none of your business, especially since it didn't have too much impact on the RP. The second rule was "Later on, we will have weapons. they will be realistic. No blaster rays or swords that extend to 50 feet." You had an electric weapon that doesn't exist to my knowledge. I'm pretty sure no one has created a working gunblade yet, much less one that can channel electricity.

In conclusion, I am in NO WAY saying that Olivia and Bobby(ie) are innocent with the fight. I will, however, say that just as much blame rests on Fayt, if not more since he is the creator of the RP and should be planning things out more carefully.
So There. Bishes.

When it comes to RPs, I'm gonna pull an L and channel the spirit of MST3K when I say:

IT IS AN RP. LIGHTEN THE FUCK UP. NOT EVERY DETAIL NEEDS TO BE KNOWN. RP's ARE MEANT FOR FUN AND ENJOYMENT, NOT NITPICKING AND MELODRAMA. (Some is fine, but high school has enough already)

SO I WILL REPEAT: LIGHTEN THE FUCK UP

I agree with Zoden. While I agree 100% that RPing is honestly a waste of time to be aruging about, I think that RPing should be as artistic as it possibly can. I think personally, that this RP didn't do good because it left the vast majority out. I can understand how Olivia feels when being left out of a RP, I've been tons of times on other boards.

But, The nitpicking can really go away, just because some small detail doesn't fit, doesn't mean you should bitch and moan about it. When I RP, I'm not looking to make a perfect world, unless I felt so passoniate about my creation, but I like to play around with my idea.

While I think Richard hasn't been as good running and listening to ideas, Bobby and Olivia, "I love you guys BTW, I want ur babiez" have really been pushing the ballot far too much and nitpicking their points to death, I can understand if they want their ideas to be heard, and I know they want to have as much fun as we do, but it's still Richard's RP, and he still has control over it, even if it's a EH RP.

Also, Dude man, no offense, But Olivia isn't Amanda. No, she is not even close, you can read Kiba's comparsion above for my views. Plus, I like Olivia 'her taste in men really makes me scared though : P' and Olivia does raise a good point we should all, including me, should remember, read every single post so we can all have a better time RPing.

Good advice, I see no reason to aruge about it.
