- [DWRP] I hate being super upset/stressed out over IC actions/IC consequences.
- ᴍʀ. ʟᴀʀᴜᴇ
- o.o? what happened bb?
- Castañas
- I let a my character (who owns a business and has a respectable reputation) get captured on video totally drugged out and unable to speak unless given permission.
- Castañas
- And now his world's all crumbling down
- Castañas
- Stupid Hibi making stupid IC actions.
- Castañas
- Because OOCly she had no time to deal with more tags. I shouldn't have done that.
- Yurick
- Use it as a strength, not a weakness. This is a perfect example of how the city fucks you up. Use that.
- Castañas
- ahahaha but my character is pro-city
- organic pussy
- like how pro-city? to the point he denies any of the bs the city can do and sees it through rose colored glasses? or can he admit the city does so fucked up shit? if it's the second, still workable
- organic pussy
- *do
- Yurick
- ^ This.
- aι ĸιngoғdυcĸѕ
- Saying the city influenced all that would really be watering down the message he was trying to get across there, though, I think.
- Castañas
- He's the second kind. He admits that the city can do that kind of shit.
- Castañas
- But he can't say the city influenced him to be that way. He will man up and say it's really his fault.
- organic pussy
- But did anybody really believe the message (i'm curious, haven't followed the comments so unsure how it went off)?
- Castañas
- He drugged himself.
- organic pussy
- Ah then nevermind my question then
- organic pussy
- How bad is the fall out, can I ask? Is he losing business/employees or just respect?
- aι ĸιngoғdυcĸѕ
- It's more personal CR, really.
- organic pussy
- i see, i see
- ᴘᴜᴘᴘʏ ᴘʀɪɴᴄᴇss
- I'm sure it'll all work out in the end!
- Castañas
- I'm going to hate it immensely if he loses respect. ugh. But I have to deal with it anyway.
- Castañas
- Well, it's to be expected. He's pro-city in a place that's mostly anti-city.
- aι ĸιngoғdυcĸѕ
- Well yes, it's to be expected to a degree.
- Pulibear Blues
- I think its twofold, really, the hole he's got to dig out of
- Pulibear Blues
- But that barely touches on his politics, since was really in no position to speak for his personal politics publicly
- Pulibear Blues
- It's more that Sephiroth spring boarded how NoJoke he was by humbling a colleague so no one would doubt his authority
- Pulibear Blues
- Which is really sketchy/browraisy for anyone under the impression that Genesis and Sephiroth are rivals on par with each other
- Castañas
- True.
- Castañas
- They are supposed to be that way.
- Pulibear Blues
- Like, that's very,deliberate self marketing on Sephiroth's part
- Castañas
- /nodnod
- Pulibear Blues
- He LET Genesis lose that face to make himself look more indomitable
- Yurick
- If you can't raise yourself up more, push the other guy down.
- Pulibear Blues
- Genesis just.... Overdosed himself. In,part because he fears upsetting the more rebelious of his allies, I think you've said?
- Pulibear Blues
- Which makes sense, that's just a harder thing for most characters to,outwardly realize
- Pulibear Blues
- Which makes sense, that's just a harder thing for most characters to,outwardly realize
- Castañas
- Yes. That was it.
- aι ĸιngoғdυcĸѕ
- The thing is, that in itself is really shitty behavior.
- aι ĸιngoғdυcĸѕ
- It shows a pretty huge lack of respect for his CR to do something he knew would upset them and then try to avoid responsibility or having to answer to them for it by doing that.
- Pulibear Blues
- And muddled with the message of Alpha male hardliner Sephiroth
- Castañas
- I shouldn't have made him do it.
- Castañas
- Stupid Hibi.
- aι ĸιngoғdυcĸѕ
- That's not something to worry about now though? I mean, you can't change that.
- aι ĸιngoғdυcĸѕ
- It doesn't do any good to roll around beating yourself up instead of moving forward, and people are trying to help you move forward. XP
- Castañas
- I shouldn't have done it.
- ᴘᴜᴘᴘʏ ᴘʀɪɴᴄᴇss
- yeah it's only rp, everyone has done stupid rp stuff before. It'll be fine
- colorofthesky
- Tbh Hibi I'm not really sure that anyone thought genesis lost face except his close CR. Besides which, it's Masamune that lost employees
- colorofthesky
- So I don't really know why you're beating yourself up about this?
- colorofthesky
- If genesis had come out and said something WITH Sephiroth it probably would have been worse
- colorofthesky
- It's not like Genesis hasn't done asinine things to hurt people in canon so.... I would say you are blowing this way out of proportion
- aι ĸιngoғdυcĸѕ
- nods The main conflict is really that Genesis's CR in game doesn't see him as what he is in canon because he's presented himself in an entirely different way in game.
- aι ĸιngoғdυcĸѕ
- So doing asinine things to hurt people is a surprise to most of his CR. (LOL)
- Castañas
- Unfortunately that's what he canonly is.
- Castañas
- *does
- aι ĸιngoғdυcĸѕ
- Yup! And there's nothing wrong with that!
- aι ĸιngoғdυcĸѕ
- You're not playing him "wrong" having him hurt people, it just means that you have to be willing to accept the consequences.
- Castañas
- I'm accepting the consequences. It's just that I'm really terrible with dealing with them because I get really stressed out by conflict.
- Castañas
- (in other words, Hibi, WHY ARE YOU EVEN PLAYING THIS CHARACTER WHO HAS CONFLICT WRITTEN ALL OVER HIM!!?!)
- aι ĸιngoғdυcĸѕ
- Have you tried maybe doing a few happier tags in between tagging the drama stuff?
- aι ĸιngoғdυcĸѕ
- That helps me sometimes! That's why I was thinking about maybe making that funny/crack post. XP
- Castañas
- Yeah. I've done a few happier things.
- Castañas
- My mood just severely plummets whenever I'm faced with this again.
- colorofthesky
- Don't tag things for a few days then. I had to take a step back from it myself because Zack's depressing was starting to wear on me
- colorofthesky
- Depression*. He was upset all of October because of Sephiroth being gone so I just needed a break. And that is very okay
- Castañas
- /nodnod
- steven stoner
- I don't think you really did anything that was a mistake, Hibi
- steven stoner
- and honestly... pretty much all of the fallout was on my side in terms of people ACTUALLY leaving, bridges to be mended, etc. which isn't to say some on Genesis' CR wasn't upset
- steven stoner
- but I have to agree that this is kind of the thing that Genesis does, so it makes sense
- steven stoner
- it's becoming a little upsetting seeing so many of these Plurks since it just makes me feel like you didn't enjoy the post/enjoy doing it with me :-( and I didn't intend for that to happen.
- steven stoner
- I do think it will be fine. it's just a consequence of negative CR, which IMO can be fun too.
- Pulibear Blues
- Tbh it's healthier for CR evolution if there are ups/down/ugly truths/trouble in paradise
- Pulibear Blues
- Characters fuck up. make bad decisions they later regret. And that's okay.
- Castañas
- /nodnod. I just got really upset because I didn't expect that making him do that thing made such an effect on his CR. Being reminded that the side my character took was really demonized made me-
- Castañas
- -feel regret, too. I expected fallout and conflict, but not like to the point that I'd feel stressed out about it.
- oneirophobe
- Seconding - or thirding, or whatever - the advice to do less dramatic things while you're trying to navigate this. It'll prevent it from feeling like a grind.
- steven stoner
- again, I don't see any reason to be upset
- steven stoner
- it makes for some interesting conversations and at the end of day, it's just RP
- steven stoner
- if you're stressing it may just be a good idea to take a break in general
- Castañas
- Yeah. I shouldn't be upset about it. /)_(\
- Castañas
- Shitty Hibi being a shitty upset thing.
- colorofthesky
- ...I would take a break, Hibi
- colorofthesky
- there really isn't any need to put yourself down over this
- colorofthesky
- just take a step back and unwind
- Castañas
- Nonono, it's ok. I don't need a break.
