[quote=@Lugubrious] I don't think this level of aggression is warranted. I made it clear before that I wasn't going to join in, but a couple of you asked me anyway, so I thought you might be unsatisfied if I didn't explain myself. What I mentioned isn't about standards; it's about what I personally enjoy, as an explanation for my departure. I am not by any stretch of the imagination a professional, and I wasn't demanding it of any of you. I do what I do because I enjoy it too. Do you honestly think I was criticizing for the sake of being mean? Preposterous. I was offering tidbits to think about: ideas and methods you might have not considered. So you know, I was lingering because of the possibility of getting interested again, and I also did not say that Divinus was better than this RP. I was thinking that if someone took my criticisms into consideration, I would shrug and give the RP a whole-hearted chance, but now that I've shown my true colors as some evil, critical troll I don't think a single person would be alright with that. As a writer, who loves helping out other writers any way I can, I thought I could contribute a couple of notions that people could look at if they liked. Foolishly, perhaps, I assumed that people might 'enjoy' broadening their horizons as writers and improving. I had not anticipated that at a few less-than-coddling words someone might lash back at me so, and make me seem the villain. Please forgive me for my hateful, malicious, utterly odious comments--I'll crawl back into my hole and leave you to play in peace. [/quote] Sorry I don't mean to be rude or provoke anything... but you really don't even need to be here. We're again not authors as previously mentioned by someone else, and we're not chaining you up like "join this rp now or we kill you". In any case we just calmly asked you if you wanted to join, and a simple no would've been fine. Also you really didn't have to say that this rp is garbage compared to your own. I'm somewhat of a writer and good sir, I assure you, my style of writing can completely work with this. Also giving in some form of resurrection isn't entirely horrible, as it gives people a second chance. Mainly so they don't have to think of another character to use, but also for a bigger reason, considering these are gods. Good day. ~Local Produce Edit: Also apologies to the current people in the rp if I provoked more of a flame war.
