In my defence Blade, I wasn't actually going to plant a bomb in Chita's twat. But I felt something ridiculous like that might help get some things out in the open. And it has. So thanks. And I appreciate how you thought it was a credible threat, so I'm at least not losing my edge in terms of being a bit of a mad bastard
And I know I haven't been the best RPG master, and I do truly appreciate how you and the others (as those who keep pestering me by PM to keep this going and help contribute here will understand) have kept this alive long after I began losing faith in this. I started this over 2 years ago when I had far more free time than I do now (like seriously, I'm lucky to get a few hours a week to sit on the internet and really take an interest in what's going on around here). If you honestly feel I'm doing a shitty job, and I feel I am, I'll step down and just RP as Zaito and Shimuto, and I'm not particularly against either of them dying heroic deaths in the interests of keeping the RPG going. I just felt the fight where Zaito was was beginning to hit a dead-end, so I decided to move things along a little.
It's not that I'm sick of this at all, in fact, this is one of the most enjoyable RPGs I participated in for several years, but I can't promise to give this my full and undivided attention. I'd just rather people just play and enjoy it too instead of either bitching about other people slightly playing their characters or NPCs not exactly the way they envisaged them or being worried that they are do this. Bear said it perfectly:
"Don't like how the most recent post utilized your character? Make an IN CHARACTER post that continues the flow of action and redirects your character toward something more befitting your image.
Think a character someone else created is inappropriate? Tough. We all have different ideas and styles so we're inevitably not going to see each other's characters the same way. Make that character fit with the story, don't be deliberately confrontational."
So can we just play some goddamn Dragonball or something. Because that actually is fun, not bitching about which alien has the explodiest vagina or whatever.
