- (2:34:55 PM) Mokai: i figure trying to explain myself a second time will lead to just as fucking dire a time as last night so i'll just say that if you're going to be mad then whatever, i can't stop you, but i'm not doing this out of any kind of vindictive spite nor do i mean you any ill will. i understand you feel i've cheated you but that's obviously not the fucking intention. i'm not mad at you, i just don't have anything else left to say on the matter
- (2:37:32 PM) Anscenic: yeah i'm sorry if i wasn't clear as i sometimes am not but i will reiterate that i'm not annoyed at you for ending a game early you weren't really feeling, i was annoyed that you didn't seem to accept that i had any right to be annoyed when you implied it was just because you couldn't be bothered with it. it's a bit of a let down sure, but it was more annoying that you didn't seem to care that you'd let people down, and you talked about it as if it's a perfectly normal and acceptable thing to do. i was mad at your attitude rather than what you did
- (2:38:29 PM) Anscenic: if you're not in the mood to run it you're not in the mood to run it, but you need to accept that that is your bad and the players have a right to be disappointed by that
- (2:38:38 PM) Mokai: see my first point
- (2:38:50 PM) Mokai: but nice to know you're not actually mad
- (2:39:54 PM) Mokai: no really
- (2:40:03 PM) Mokai: it's not worth the fucking asanine arguments
- (2:40:04 PM) Mokai: :p
- (2:42:01 PM) Anscenic: yeah. with regard to the actual game i'm mostly just disappointed, since it was a lot of fun. i'm not ass devastated about it because it's prettye asily reumable, and there's a lot of stuff worth doing in the meantime. it's not like you're leaving johnny as the only one wanting to run a game or something, there's pther shit we can play
- (2:42:38 PM) Anscenic: like i say i was ass devastated at your >implication that you were dropping it because even though you enjoyed it it was just too much effort
- (2:42:45 PM) Anscenic: that was pretty "fuck you guys, cba"
- (2:44:17 PM) Anscenic: because at the time despite my asking about it you faile dto illustrate that you weren't really feeling it, it just came across like you couldn't be bothered writing it and you were dropping us to concentrate on the pony game
- (2:45:08 PM) Anscenic: but yeah itt whatever general
- (2:45:31 PM) Mokai: um
- (2:45:35 PM) Mokai: okay back up
- (2:45:43 PM) Mokai: i never said shit about any other game
- (2:45:49 PM) Mokai: you broughtup the pone game
- (2:46:09 PM) Anscenic: i mentioned it several times and you didn't deny that you would be running the pony game still, so i assumed you were
- (2:46:13 PM) Anscenic: that's afair implication
- (2:46:21 PM) Anscenic: BEFORE YOU RESPOND
- (2:46:23 PM) Anscenic: to clarify
- (2:46:31 PM) Anscenic: i am NOT >implying you specifically chose one game over the other
- (2:46:52 PM) Mokai: no i was actually just going to go >getting mad over implications you've pressed upon someone
- (2:47:00 PM) Mokai: i mean, fuck
- (2:47:08 PM) Mokai: i mightswell just not fucking say anything lol
- (2:47:12 PM) Mokai: you can do my arguments for me :p
- (2:47:20 PM) Anscenic: well if you really want to get into this
- (2:47:25 PM) Anscenic: like i said, it's a fair implication
- (2:47:29 PM) Anscenic: i mentioned it several times
- (2:47:42 PM) Anscenic: not to mention the fact that even now, you're not denying it, so i'm assuming you're still running it
- (2:47:42 PM) Mokai: and i never directly answered
- (2:47:51 PM) Mokai: becuase it was a fucking akward question
- (2:47:57 PM) Anscenic: then you can NOT blame me for assuming the answer
- (2:48:23 PM) Mokai: no but i can blame you for getting mad over it
- (2:48:28 PM) Anscenic: i didn't
- (2:48:31 PM) Mokai: infact thats the only reason why this has-- what
- (2:48:32 PM) Anscenic: as i just explained
- (2:48:42 PM) Anscenic: seriously sorry, i am obviously not being clear
- (2:48:48 PM) Anscenic: i will clarify
- (2:48:59 PM) Anscenic: i am not implying i got mad because you dropped our game and kept running the pony game
- (2:50:00 PM) Anscenic: i am saying that it was a small contributing factor among a handful of other things that annoyed me at the time, that on one hand you were -coming across- as saying "this is too much effort, screw you guys", yet on the other hand still running the pony game
- (2:51:21 PM) Mokai: thats fin
- (2:51:23 PM) Mokai: really
- (2:51:33 PM) Mokai: you got mad for your own reasons that i can't actually help
- (2:51:41 PM) Mokai: i was getting mad in response to you getting mad
- (2:52:00 PM) Anscenic: that's not entirely true - i was mad at the situation which you put across
- (2:52:45 PM) Anscenic: if you'd have said in the first place when i asked about it being boring or not fun "yeah i'm really sory man, i'm just not up to it", i wouldn't have even gotten mad
- (2:52:58 PM) Anscenic: it was the fact you came back with >fuck you i didn't do anything wrong
- (2:53:25 PM) Mokai: i can't help somebody else getting mad, i can understand if they dont like something i do or say, i can help that, but for them to escalate that to being mad then, well fuck i can't do anythign
- (2:53:37 PM) Mokai: so no, i tried to put it as best as how i felt it
- (2:53:39 PM) Mokai: you got mad
- (2:53:43 PM) Mokai: so i got mad at you g etting mad
- (2:53:50 PM) Mokai: it's not the argument
- (2:53:53 PM) Anscenic: you're still implying that you don't believe there was anything wrong with the situation you implied
- (2:54:23 PM) Mokai: no, i don't believe it was anything worth getting utterly enraged and hurling abuse over
- (2:54:32 PM) Mokai: but i can't help that
- (2:55:18 PM) Anscenic: well yeah sorry if it bothers me that someone could imply they're fucking me over out of laziness then play the victim
- (2:55:38 PM) Anscenic: i do believe that's worth getting angry about
- (2:55:51 PM) Anscenic: especially considering the faith people put in you as a GM and as a friend
- (2:56:18 PM) Mokai: aight
- (2:56:30 PM) Mokai: so i'll expect more hate fuel in the future should i fuck up again
- (2:56:32 PM) Mokai: nice to know
- (2:57:03 PM) Mokai: like i said on the night, your needs are obviously way higher than what i can provide
- (2:57:23 PM) Anscenic: i never got such a message, and it's not on the log
- (2:57:28 PM) Anscenic: but either way that's not the case
- (2:57:49 PM) Anscenic: because there's no "need" that's not being met. it's just a game, the only obligation i hold a GM to is finishing the game they offer to run
- (2:57:52 PM) Mokai: this entire week would proove otherwise but okay
- (2:58:16 PM) Anscenic: i disagree. like i say, the only need that's not been met is the need for a GM to respect his players
- (2:58:28 PM) Mokai: no
- (2:58:28 PM) Anscenic: and respect his responsibility in using their time
- (2:58:30 PM) Mokai: just no
- (2:58:37 PM) Mokai: im not getting sucked into another argument
- (2:58:41 PM) Mokai: really, im quite done
- (2:59:00 PM) Anscenic: well it's still abundantly clear that nothing has changed and we still disagree on these fundamental issues of respect and responsibility
- (2:59:09 PM) Anscenic: so this conversation has achieved nothing
- (2:59:38 PM) Mokai: this conversation started out with me saying that im not mad and that i didn't want to continue the argument
- (2:59:56 PM) Anscenic: yeah that doesn't actually mean anything unless you provide a valid reason to end it
- (3:00:01 PM) Mokai: ...
- (3:00:04 PM) Mokai: uh
- (3:00:18 PM) Mokai: well
- (3:00:25 PM) Mokai: you're not mad at me
- (3:00:27 PM) Mokai: apparently
- (3:00:36 PM) Mokai: you certainly fucking seem it
- (3:00:41 PM) Mokai: i'm not mad at you
- (3:00:45 PM) Mokai: whether you want to believe that or nto
- (3:00:54 PM) Anscenic: i'm mad at the attitude i thought you had. at the moment you seem to illustrate that you do indeed have that attitude
- (3:00:57 PM) Anscenic: so nothing has changed
- (3:01:00 PM) Mokai: so if all thats left is this argument then w/e ill walk around rightnow
- (3:01:12 PM) Mokai: oh
- (3:01:17 PM) Mokai: so you ARE mad at me?
- (3:01:33 PM) Mokai: and this trying to smooththings over actually just did nothing?
- (3:02:25 PM) Anscenic: this isn't "smoothing things over" because you said nothing of relevance. doing that is just asking me to ignore something that's bothering me. it's kind of like if you slapped me in the face, i got pissed at you then the next day you said to me "look i'm not mad, how about we forget it?"
- (3:02:45 PM) Anscenic: you clearly still believe you did nothing wrong and i was being unreasonable in getting pissed at your attitude and the lack of respect you implied
- (3:03:17 PM) Anscenic: not only do i dsiagree with that, but it illustrates vastly different views on the responsibilities of a GM, which i also disagree with
- (3:04:01 PM) Anscenic: as you say "i can't help that", but just because you can't help it doesn't mean i don't still disagree
- (3:04:25 PM) Mokai: okay then, ill change the word, sorry i don't meet your criterea for DMing
- (3:05:15 PM) Anscenic: you're not sorry, that's not the case, and only serves to illustrate not only that you still don't understand but you still don't feel anything for the situation
- (3:05:28 PM) Anscenic: it's nothing to do with criteria
- (3:06:01 PM) Anscenic: you unapologetically dropped a campaign mid-game with no regard for the players or their time, and went on to argue that it was never your obligation to do anything else
- (3:06:49 PM) Anscenic: if that's how you feel, then we fundamentally disagree on what it means to run a game
- (3:08:16 PM) Mokai: guess i'm a villain?
- (3:08:18 PM) Mokai: okay
- (3:08:26 PM) Mokai: sorry for being relaxed
- (3:08:29 PM) Anscenic: it's not the fact you ended a game you didn't want to run, it's the fact that you didn't feel anyone had any right to be annoyed with you in doing so
- (3:08:38 PM) Mokai: no
- (3:08:44 PM) Anscenic: you can call it relaxation, i call it a lack of respect
- (3:08:46 PM) Mokai: because its fucking free entertainment
- (3:09:01 PM) Anscenic: see?
- (3:09:08 PM) Mokai: you're thinking about the expectations of what i have to give
- (3:09:22 PM) Mokai: and disregarding what ive given already
- (3:09:29 PM) Anscenic: you came here to string some bullshit words together and expect it to just circumnavigate the actual situation
- (3:09:46 PM) Mokai: THERE IS NO FUCKING SITUATION
- (3:09:48 PM) Mokai: YOU
- (3:09:50 PM) Anscenic: unfortunately as long as you have such an asshole view, we're not going to agree
- (3:09:52 PM) Mokai: ARE THE ONE WITH THE SITUATION
- (3:09:55 PM) Mokai: IM SAT HERE
- (3:09:58 PM) Mokai: POKER FACE AS FUCK
- (3:10:04 PM) Mokai: WAS, AT LEAST
- (3:10:07 PM) Mokai: fuck
- (3:10:17 PM) Anscenic: yeah sorry but "i'm not mad at you so this isn't a problem" is not a valid argument
- (3:10:17 PM) Mokai: ASSHOLE VIEW!?
- (3:10:19 PM) Mokai: WHAT
- (3:10:25 PM) Mokai: oh fuck it
- (3:10:26 PM) Mokai: really
- (3:10:27 PM) Anscenic: i am explaining to you calmly why i have a problem with you
- (3:10:28 PM) Mokai: fuck it
- (3:10:32 PM) Mokai: done
- (3:10:33 PM) Mokai: goodbye
