[quote=Phoenix] The tone to my last post was actually calm and reasonable. I didn't have the time to put in emoticons. The same can be assumed for this post as well.And that was simply my opinion. You're free to do whatever you want in your RP's, but I should still be able to voice a small opinion on a matter that concerns itself in almost no way to the RP itself, at least in my eyes. I wasn't saying that it's stupid or you're stupid for having a rule such as that. It's just that I didn't agree with it which is why it wasn't there. I could say I found you condescending for telling me to read the OP "since I obviously hadn't." I could have also pointed out that you needed "enjoys female company" explained but not the lore from which I took these specific Phoenix abilities for this character. That was also something I willfully omitted (only because I took from so many sources and I was too lazy to find them again). Also, you didn't notice that the Heritage and Goal were included in the History. But I didn't say any of these things because you're the GM and I also knew what you were referring to the whole time. I still don't see the use in 42 but I wasn't saying that I will not ever put it in and that it was a definitive statement toward any opinion of anyone. I hope that clears some things up. [/quote] It was the way you put it that made you come off rude [quote=Phoenix] If you're really looking of the 42 thing, [b]then here it is[/b]. I, personally, don't agree with this method of confirmation which is why it was [b]purposefully omitted.[/b] [/quote] It come off as "You want it? Fine here it is in this post. Happy'? I don't like the rules so I'm going to purposely go against them." Which was why the GM replied with the same remark back, with just kicking you threatenly. It doesn't make people happy when their hard work is diminished. Writing up everything including the rules is to benefit us so we can enjoy ourselves and they take a good deal of time to write. Hell for one of my RPS I wrote up a rule draft for the GM because I know she is busy. As well as send her a folder of character sheets that were completed so they were organized. Good GM's work hard in making rules and their opening. We as players should respect that, even if we disagree. I myself forgot the code because I tend to forget these kinds of codes after thinking up and writing a character" but I silently edited in when reminded, reread the rules and moved on. Because I respect the hard work put in enough not to fret about it. But I'm sure you didn't mean anything by it, but that's pretty much why we reacted the way we did. ^^
