[quote=@MiddleEarthRoze]Nah, I'm kidding, I don't do that vague bullshit.[/quote]
But you just did. :gray  

[quote=@MiddleEarthRoze]This response is just me defending my... reputation[/quote]
As is your right, I would expect you to defend yourself. But moving on to your actual point to state my thoughts and perspective; starting with the weeding and other matters. Consider the fact, from my perspective at the time, a few things:

[list][*] While I had to be reminded about the longstanding Gambit applications, as my determinations had been lost in transit following my stay at the hospital, I did respond within twenty four hours of re-deliberating. It was there I asked for a sample post from remaining parties to be sent to my directly via PM. I never got those samples, but my point of view was you and Hellis would get them to me when the timing suited you, which would be fine. For someone who was getting their bearings back together I thought this was very punctual of me.[/list]
[list][*] Yes, I was blunt (some may define it as crass or inflammatory) in this particular thread when I decided to [i]vent[/i], but in the thread I feel I was as courteous as I could be despite feeling irked about people presuming my dedication to my own project was wavering. In a long-standing project you may have had a point with, but in something that was just getting off the ground not so much.[/list]
[list][*]As for weeding taking work, all I had to do was post a status about moving over to a new account (which after discussing with others, doesn’t really effect my other roleplays) for you to rescind and withdraw. The others, from my perspective, just left because they couldn’t wait one week which only told me that they weren’t really receptive of the pace of the RP.[/list]
[list][*]Also, I was only [i]annoyed[/i] when people left prior to taking initiative. Which brings me to this—I’ve written in the superhero sandbox games onsite for a little over four years and I am [i]used[/i] to people [i]knowing[/i] that they can post at any given point in time once it begins. My mistake was not clarifying this since a lot of this RP was comprised of a newer group as presumptions are never valid grounds of excuse.  [/list]
See, I don’t mind people bowing out; but like I said when things are thrown back onto me in what seems like a surprising notion, I act accordingly. I defend myself with rational and logical counterpoints so that remaining players can see I’m active and responding to an issue with some clarity. I need to show that confidence as a GM, I owe it not only to myself but aforementioned players.

[quote=@MiddleEarthRoze] It happens, and your actions (or lack of) are part of the reason why, whether you like it or not. And as I said in my post, I wish the best of luck to you and the players! The roleplay was an interesting idea, and it would be nice to see it not die. I just wasn't interested in hanging around as a player and getting involved in said potential stagnation.[/quote]
I just find it odd when you say you were/are interested in the idea and hope it succeeds only to say you don’t want to help it stagnate when you could do the exact opposite as a contributing writer. Regular posts are what prevent stagnation, and leaving as you did only seems counterproductive to that point.
