Welcome to Gaia! ::

Sort of, been busy all day but I should get it up tommorow. I have finalized (I think) what I want Iust to be doing at the start. The ending of his intro has been in my mind ever since Loki had his bounty hunter try and kill Graka.

Good for you man. I'm looking forward to reading about a ruthless slaughter.

I feel victimized, be glad you stepped in. I was on the verge of calling in the Section IV clause... you know contesting a GA's decision.

I been a GM and if I was one right now I'd have slammed Paul for his actions a couple times already. You've given him way to much leeway.

Let's not get into that on the Cantina. Especially after the help desk got destroyed. I have questions too but now is not the time. Right now should be a time to get away from that hatefest.

I would suggest a "cool-down" time, but that would accomplish nothing.

The problem just is delayed, not corrected. What I think aught to be done is a severe testing of the aptitude of parties consistantly in question. If they can't pass a test of the GA's design, then we can identify exactly why we're having so many problems.

@ CW: You are technically Moderator of the RP, you have just as much power as mine.

I'm starting to think that people are starting to look at the RP like a game and not the story it is. An RP isn't meant to be a game that someone is supposed to "win" or to show your "superiority;" it's supposed to be a story that has ups and downs for each character and how they're able to get past those obstacles. The good guys are supposed to be smacked around by the villains until the end otherwise the story would be extremely anticlimactic. It's about showing of the depth of the characters personality as they try to figure out how to stop those in their way. That's my opinion anyway about why things are starting to get so heated: Everyone is treating this like a video game to be conquered.

Just take my statements as you want. It's meant for everyone, not just a few that I would say it to as well. I just want people to quit thinking that winning is everything. Of coarse I want my character to succeed, but I'll find a way to knock Ral down a peg as well. What people really need to do more is communicate without being so stubborn thinking that they are born to win. Try mapping out how a battle is supposed to go instead of making this up on the fly. So what is the person know the knowledge? Their characters don't. Let's just work together instead of being at each others throats.

Sorry about the rant/advice. I'm just sick of this nonstop battle.

So how about those Astromechs? Sexy little devils, aren't they?
