[@Sierra] [quote=@Sierra] This is never a particularly easy lesson to learn, but it's a good one. I've rescinded my interest from so many prospects that I've stopped even mentioning it. I just silently subscribe to the thread and watch. The reason almost every time is that something isn't disclosed up front. A game mechanic, a crucial bit of world lore, you name it and it's happened. The way I've taken to doing int checks is that the full thread as you'd put it up in an RP is what goes up in the int check. The interest check is exactly that, [i]an interest check,[/i] to get people in and writing CSs rather than a mostly-finished concept being pitched before its ready. That said, [i]it takes forever ...[/i] a lesson I am learning the hard way slowly plugging along with [i]Tear the World Down[/i]. This is grammatically weird. I can't tell if you're agreeing with me or countering me. Was "didn't" supposed to be "did"? EDIT: [i]> DOOM 2016[/i] Good choice. :) [/quote] I suppose that is true, but my problem is I try to please everyone before I've got everything solid which is like trying to build a sand castle out of really, really watery mud. You're point has been received loud and clear. I'll have, at least the basics of the rp, primary mechanics and lore, as fully fleshed out as possible before starting. It wasn't so much as a counter as a point that Hex and Arch weren't giving constructive criticism, but were just trying to thinly veil their push towards the type of rp they wanted to see [@Lmpkio] [quote=@Lmpkio] Quite so. They forced for something else they wanted when it's not on the menu. Like wanting hamburgers at a fast food hot dog joint. That's not on the menu or what's being shown. You either get what you get, or find a way to improve the concept/product. Man that would've been a cool character! I love me some Doom so Im fully onboard with a character like so. We shall see. I'll be onboard if it does happen. And on that note: Oh look... there's a huge flaw in your concept of reasoning. [/quote] Wait. Was that a flaw of my reasoning, the whole a multiverse not working if a farmer with a shotgun is stronger than Sonic?
