Stupid Argument

Quote :

See, it works like that. The six pages mean nothing so long as they get back on task when directed to do so. If they don't then it is the RPers fault, not the six pages of randomness.

No, it doesn't work like that. Posts get lost in the 6+ pages of talking about the weather & the color of the sky. People don't want to keep digging through that shit every day to find them. As a result, people start leaning towards dropping out.

And I can't blame them. Funny thing about Tony & Heri, THEY were the RPers who refused to get back on task, & instead just spammed it with constant pages of bullshit.

And if you want to think otherwise, then you're fighting a losing battle. I don't know if you'd find anyone on this board, other than possibly yourself, who wants to put up with 6 pages made in their absence. In fact, you're probably too much of a bitch to deal with it, too.

At the very least, the next posts TO get on-task end up being pretty bad, with people only half-reading, & so making excuses like they "zoned out" or "fell asleep."

You don't want to deal with it, I get it. Why are you dragging this out so much farther than it has to go. I, personally have no issue with it. I come from an RP background where 10 pages may be added over night, and with legitimate posts, not one line posts that this forum often sees. So would I puss out, no, do I realize you don't want to deal with it, yes.

All in all, calm down. I realize you don't like it, but in saying that, know that I don't view it as the RP crushing issue you do, or as an issue at all.

No, because I'm not even sure you understand what we're talking about. You call our "one liner posts" not "legitimate"? Well, I wasn't kidding when I said, "Talking about the weather or the sky." Their posts would literally consist of:

1"Nice day out."
2"Yeah."
1"Not a cloud in the sky."
2"It's pretty."
1"I prefer the rain, though."
2"I don't mind the rain."

And I probably grossly underestimated the amount of pages, considering how quickly that kind of posting can be reproduced.

That is spam. Considering how lax my rules are, I don't think there's a board out there that wouldn't consider it as such, if I do.

And what makes it so hard to simply skim through that, find the point at which to enter, and continue the RP? I'm not saying that their posts are not shitty, but I don't think that is will harm the RP.

Anyway, I'm quite done discussing this. As I said in the previous post, it annoys you, I get that, so why beat a dead horse? As the title says, this is a "stupid argument".

My practical experience trumps your stubbornness.

Nice weather we're having today, huh?

No, your stubbornness trumps my general apathy.

You can't deny that it hurts RPs because I've seen it first-hand!

I'm sure we all have.

There was that time in Great Wutai War which was really confusing. And the not-so confusing time between her and Dego in that sword Plot Macguffin RP.

Blades of Glory, which she got mad at me when I pointed out was the same title as that movie about male figure skaters.

Oddly enough that RP wasn't exactly glorious.

It was 40 pages of filler, 5 pages of rising action, & then it died.

And Tony trying to kill me off as usual.

Also convoluted subplots between my characters, because everyone else was basically ignoring me.

I reckon there could have been potential if it weren't for everything wrong with it.

Oh, come on, it wasn't bad. The MacGuffin Hunt portion was genuinely enjoyable. The plot was fairly cliche, but it had some potential, had Heri actually done anything with it.

If she co-ran it with someone, they could have probably drug its ass out of the ditch. Granted, it would have lost some of the charm in the process, but that can't be helped.

I imagine the only people she'd co-run it with is Tony who's awful and Dego who was almost never around.

I'm pretty sure the whole six pages of dialogue between her character and his was the longest he'd been around for.

Yeah, did he die, or something?

It was implied that I meant someone like you, me, or Taegan, if it weren't for the fact that he wasn't around back then.

The shit I miss on a bad laptop.
