Well I guess we're simply going to have to wait on Heald on this one as this situation has gone from a situation that I thought was over and done with to one that's got me, MoP and Blade pissed at one another for one reason or another. That being said I do want to address a few things.

Blade you are saying that at least half the cast is having issues with me? Obviously I'm seeing the issues you and MoP are having. I can understand Bran having issues when we got things underway again but as far as I'm concerned/know those issues have been addressed and there have been no other issues between us in this RPG. What I want to know is this:

Who else aside from Blade/MoP is having a problem with me and why haven't you spoken up?

Yes I'm calling you guys out on this. If anyone else is having an issue then it's news to me as no one has said a word about it. How does one fix a problem is there don't know there's a problem to begin with? The bottom line is that if there is an issue then something needs to be said. If no one speaks up it's highly likely folks are going to assume everything is ok.

As for calling Shitagi a Mary Sue I'd say he's far from perfect. For one he has lost to Rothax badly on at least two occassions as well as potentially alienated Retasu. Yes I'll admit: I had him figure out Retasu was seeking the Dragon Balls for her own purposes once she started to exibit behaviors that started to clash with her character (which was even pointed on several occassions by Basawe mind you). However despite having a friendly nature I'm sure you've gathered that Shitagi doesn't exactly have people skills since he accused Retasu with no proof. All he had was word of mouth and a gut feeling to go on. I purposely left that paticular situation open so that Bran could either roll with it and come clean or come to start hating Shitagi (not that her character needed much motivation in that area since he's the heir from the "female side" of the family). In regards to Victoria she was introduced with the sole purpose of having her killed off as a way of showing Shitagi that the situation was extremely serious (not to mention giving him a personal stake in the battle). Finally Shitagi may be a bit of a gear head but so far you guys have only seen him with Earth technology. If he somehow gets himself onto Rothax's ship without turning into a snack he isn't going to know a damn thing about the ship (not to mention he's got that fear of mechanical flight). In the event we somehow get to a sequel (which to my eyes is looking sadly unlikely) then expect him to be totally out of his element if the action shifts to Planet Vegeta for any reason. Finally in regards to how good of a fighter he is has it not been clear that I've been hinting that he believes Basawe to be a better natural fighter? I've been hoping you'd pick up on it Blade but it seems that you haven't. I had actually been looking forward to having Basawe play Goku to my Vegeta and start surpassing Shitagi to the point where he's always one step ahead in training. Shitagi's reaction would have been playful and friendly at first but despite Shitagi's talk of power levels not being the most important thing I would have eventually been willing to work in the frustration aspect of being the prince but being weaker than someone else. Granted it wouldn't have been to the point of "I must kill Kakarot!" but it would have been obvious that he wasn't exactly happy at being surpassed.

Anyway let's just focus on getting this whole situation worked out for now. Normally I'd say let's keep it in PM's but this is starting to get to the point where I feel it's going to seriously start affecting everyone as well as the RPG itself if we can't come to terms that everyone will be happy with. Yes I know....Heald said he'd lay down the law so to speak but I know he's got a bit on his plate so I'd personally like to avoid throwing this into his lap if possible. Therefore let's actually use the lounge for it's purpose of discussing the RPG and figure something out.

According to you Blade apparently MoP is done with this if he doesn't get to kill Shitagi. I've said it before and I'll say it again: I've got no problems with Shitagi's death. What I do have a problem with is the way it's going down. When this RPG started I figured if anyone died it would be at the hands of Rothax, Shimuto or any of the other various named villian NPC's who have been shown to be good fighters (in fact had it not been for the fact that Zenkai came up in a discussion I would have thought for sure that Kura had bought the farm in the battle with Chita)

With all that being said do either of you have suggestions for moving things along that don't involve a character death at this point or what pretty much amounts to a rage quit?
