1 | 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 |
