	Izzy, since you have opted to bring this forth and into the light I will address this as well as some issues with your post above. I believe that a few things must be said on the matter for public eye. (Why I am tagging everyone.) Though after this reply, I will state that anything further to be said about the matter needs to be done via PM to myself directly, as I am the GM. 

	These complaints that have been received are not a new thing when it comes to you in the RP; in fact they be here for sometime and keep popping up with new complaints. (Starting as far back as the Interest Check.) Something you, or so I was told by X, were made aware of. Something that was thought to have been rectified. So I do not see why it coming up again is such a surprise. 

	You entered this, as you say, prepped to dislike me and this RP; Then why join? Other than to cause issues. You say you are feisty and intense, but frankly to come into this RP with that type of outlook leads me to believe you were not meaning to be misunderstood, but purposefully sought out to be taken as you intended. Perhaps with a hope that people would take it with a grain of salt. (To which several did after speaking with myself and X, you being defended by us saying "that is just how she is, it is nothing personal.) Yet, now by your own admission, you had set out to dislike myself and this RP. So I feel a bit of a heel for defending you then. 

	I understand having a long term relation with an RP partner, I have some that I have been creating Rp's with for over a decade. We get attached; to the worlds we create, to the characters, to the story lines. The thing is though, with as long as you have known X, you should know him well enough that he would never start anything or run any RP with someone that was not in his eyes beyond reproach and worthy of his time. It saddens me to see that he asked you to come here but you placed it on your "auto hate" list. I believe it does him a disservice, and a disservice to yours and his friendship. He is not a possession or a piece of territory to be marked. 

	Also, please remember, this is NOT X's story line. This story line is ours, as in myself and X. It is the compilation of two different RP's (His location of Justice, my location of Boston Heights) - Merged together to create a far larger Rp than either would have been alone. We put months of discussion, set up, research, and more into the RP - equally 50/50 - before it was even launched. The Interest Check, the OOC, the original In Character Post were written by both of us, together. We have dozens of NPC's worked up, storyline from start to finish, details, pages and pages of Pm's - multiple even to be able to keep track. This is our world and our story. (Why he added the Lady A and X productions thing on the image for the RP. We are equal in this.)

	I know you two have a history but it plays no part in this RP. You are looked at as any other Rp. Not a Gm, not a Co-Gm, not a helper. Everything that transpires in the RP is decided by X and myself together. We discuss what is released, when it is released, everything together as a team. Heck, we even run our own Cs's by each other before they go live and pick out any issues. (Some of the Cs's for this RP from us are actually collab's.) The only thing that is not done 50/50 in the RP is the actual running of the RP and the updates; which is left mostly to me because of his schedule and my eye for fine detail.

	Having said that, I am glad that you are enjoying it ad I do thank you for the apology for these issues. (I doubt that was easy, for if you are anything like me; having to admit when one is wrong and trying to make it right can be difficult.) When X told me that you were coming, I was excited. He had told me so much about you, about what you two had done in the past together; I was looking forward to meeting the woman who X put so much trust in and held in such high regard. So, needless to say, even I was taken a back when you showed up with an "attitude." - One I hope that doesn't rear it's head again, because while being online we are supposed to be allowed to be ourselves, when you step into an RP that is not yours, which this isn't, you are in the House, the World, of the GM and Co-Gm, and are expected to be respectful and follow the rules as any other Rper. No special privileges are granted to anyone; everyone receives a level playing field. (And X and myself hold ourselves and each other to that same level of standard we hold everyone else to.)

	As far as you leaving or staying - I will say this - That is not up to you. That is up to X and myself. It is something we are still discussing. We have to weigh out your presence vs. the good of the RP. When a decision is made, it will be announced in the OOC by one of us. Until that point, carry on as per the rules of the RP. (To any who are thinking of leaving, I respectfully request that you wait to see how things unfold and progress from this point forward with a clean slate towards Izzy and without bias.)

	Also, if people have an issue, they are welcome to pm you about it but people, please hear this. It is our job as your Gm/Co-GM to field things in this RP. You are free to contact either of us at anytime. X and I are adults, our schedules and personal life's are not taken into consideration when it comes to issues. (So please do not feel guilty by contacting us. Izzy is not a Gm or Co-Gm, it is not her place to field issues with the RP anymore than it is any one else's. The overall comfort of our Rpers far out weighs any personal life issues - to which some of you are aware, for both X and myself are great, but again please know that we do not let that hinder us in anyway.)

	 And no Izzy, you do not have to worry about me hitting your with the RP school bus. I never have and I never will let anything that occurs in OOC or back stage of an RP effect the outcome of an RP. I find it insulting when Gm's let their personal opinions color what happens in RP. It is like reverse metagaming, something I do not put up with. I have plenty of people in Rp's I gm that are not "friends" but I Gm them the same as I do everyone else; and those that are friends are not granted special privilege. Again, I believe that is a insult to Rp and beneath me as a GM. Etiquette is everything. (Manners Maketh The GM) Every character that dies in the RP is left to the rolls of Lady Luck, as well as the scenarios in which people encounter. X and I come up with the senario's, multiple for each character in each world narrative. (Which can be upwards of a 100 individual possibilities per W.N.) - Dice are rolled in a private chat room for X and I, then are typed up to each member of the RP. This keeps the playing field level and fair, plus keeps everyone on their toes; including us. (Because seriously, if I played that GM card do you really think I would let my character die that quickly? LOL ~weeps still for poor Danica~)

	Now, as I said before - Any reply or such to this - Do it via PM to myself, in fact, joint PM to X and I - so that is equally referenced and not he and I having to quote or pass word to another as we have had to in the past. (Any response to this in OOC from this point on will be looked at as a subversive manner to undermine his and my authority in this RP; a way to fuel the issue as it were.)

	**[i](On a separate note - I was informed last night that Char had a family crisis arise yesterday afternoon. I will leave the details out because they are not mine to share. Having said that, I am granting temporary special posting privilege to Char until things calm down for her. If you are waiting for her to post and are not sure what to do, please contact me so we can work something out. Also, please keep her and her family in your thoughts through this time; they need all the good juju they can get.)[/i]**

	Now, back to your regularly scheduled RP peeps.
