scorri> you realize that there probably won't be a more clear command than "everyone outside with your equipment in 15 minutes" or that if there is it won't be a happy one
2
<Snowy_One> She'll probably just follow in kind with everyone else. I just really don't want to shove through 2+ pages of multi-paragraph posts dealing with character-interaction ATM.
3
<scorri> that's... not exactly a good reason to make a post saying that she wasn't following?
4
<Snowy_One> It's a good reason to miss the post with the order.
5
<scorri> no, not really. you should be reading
6
<Snowy_One> Scorri. I am part in currently four RP's, trying to juggle them all as well as what's happening in mibbit and AIM. If I see some sort of massive influx of posts overnight, I'm going to ignore it because I have other things that need my attention than Mira's anti-elf problems. I make it a point to ensure anything I say or do in an RP that affects people is-
7
<scorri> if you're not going to read, what's the point in posting?
8
<Snowy_One> easily noticable. I think you would be best to start learning to do the same. Maybe using a ** ** tag if something contains party-important info.
9
<scorri> no, that's not a solution that we should have to do
10
<scorri> literally no one else had the problem that you did
11
<scorri> you're just not putting the effort in
12
<Snowy_One> So, what are you going to do about it?
13
<scorri> talk with snike about it before i make any judgement
14
<scorri> but if that's your attitude towards this RP, i don't see why you're even bothering
15
<Snowy_One> My attitude was one of cautious hope and wanting to make you happy by spending time having fun with you. If that cannot be accomplished because of spam-posts, then maybe I will leave.
16
<scorri> they aren't spam posts
17
<scorri> they're interactions
18
<scorri> setting characters
19
<scorri> creating relationships
20
<Snowy_One> Spam.
21
<scorri> if that's your attitude towards it, yeah, maybe you should
22
<scorri> they
23
<scorri> are
24
<scorri> not
25
<scorri> spam
26
<scorri> they are an important part of an RP
27
<scorri> they're establishing things.
28
<scorri> we're starting with a completely blank slate
29
<scorri> we can't just throw people into things
30
<scorri> or
31
<scorri> well
32
<scorri> we can
33
<Snowy_One> They hold no relevance to my character, hold no real importance beyond the characters directly involved, are long, popped up literally overnight, and you're expecting me to read them. Spam.
34
<scorri> no, they aren't spam
35
<scorri> they are important
36
<scorri> and if you cared at all about the RP
37
<scorri> you would, at the very least, skim them
38
<Snowy_One> I did skim them.
39
<scorri> clearly not very well if you completely missed Snike's order to move out
40
<Snowy_One> That's the thing about skimming. You miss things.
41
<scorri> then maybe you should learn to skim better
42
<scorri> especially posts being made by the GMs
43
<Snowy_One> Now, I have my own RP to run and a post to finish.
44
<Snowy_One> And my attention needs to be there.
45
<scorri> since, guess what, there's a good chance that there's important info in them
46
<Snowy_One> Do you want me to stay in your RP?
47
<scorri> i want you to care about snike's and my RP
48
<Snowy_One> I care already. We wouldn't be having this discussion if I didn't. I asked if you wanted me to stay.
49
<scorri> you clearly don't care enough to pay attention to what's happening in the RP
50
<scorri> which is where my view of you not caring enough comes from
51
<Snowy_One> I don't care for being made to read multiple pages that popped up overnight of character interaction that doesn't involve my character. There is a reason I always make sure to mention any characters I'm trying to interact with by name when I post.
52
<scorri> those posts are important. they're part of the RP
53
<scorri> and *especially* not paying attention to the GMs posts
54
<scorri> says something
55
<Snowy_One> I'm not going to challenge that I should have read your posts a bit better. You are right there. It isn't fair to rim me though for not reading the Mira-posts and accidentally overlooking a key order as a result.
56
<Snowy_One> And if I didn't care, this conversation would have been over half-an-hour ago.
57
<scorri> you shouldn't just be ignoring other people's posts though
58
<scorri> that's not fair to them
59
<scorri> they read your posts
60
<scorri> what gives you the right to ignore theirs?
61
<Snowy_One> I don't ask them to or expect them to. They have every right to ignore mine unless I mention one of their characters in my post by name.
62
<scorri> what's the point then
63
<scorri> why write this if not for other people to read
64
<scorri> and enjoy
65
<scorri> like
66
<scorri> yeah
67
<scorri> part of it's because it's fun for us to do
68
<Snowy_One> Interaction.
69
<scorri> and by ignoring their posts
70
<scorri> you limit your chances for interactions
71
<scorri> because you don't know what they're doing
72
<Snowy_One> If I didn't, I'd spend all day doing little more than reading.
73
scorri> i'm done for now
74-
<scorri> i'm going to talk to snike about this and then one of us will talk to you about this more later
74+
<scorri> i'm going to talk to snike about this and then one of us will talk to you about this more later
75
Snowy_One> Fine with me
76
<Snowy_One> I fully expected to get kicked anyways.
77
<Snowy_One> But, before you go, one question. Why did Robin throw out her iron arrows and not her handcrafted ones?
78
<scorri> because she doesn't like using iron because, i believe, they are so seperate from where she came from and she wants to stay true to her roots
79
<scorri> they represent things she hates about the world
80
<scorri> this was also before i joined rote
81
<scorri> if i remember correctly
82
<Snowy_One> Shouldn't you be expected to read every post though?
83
<scorri> was i wrong?
84
<scorri> and even if i was
85
<Snowy_One> Yes, though you were pretty close. Robin threw out her iron arrowheads as a moral objection to a world that would shoot a prisoner in cold blood. She was rejecting the moral grounds and choosing her own set.
86
<scorri> there's a difference between learning everything that has happened in 6 or so previous chapters
87
<scorri> and paying attention to the things that happen after you join
88
<Snowy_One> To me, they are the same thing. Expecting a person to read and know everything even if it doesn't affect their character. Only difference is the volume.
89
<scorri> no 
90
<scorri> it's not
91
<scorri> i don't expect you to know every single thing
92
<scorri> i expect you to read
93
<scorri> and give your fellow RPers the respect
