[quote=Crossark] Lucius, you might be a psychopath, but you're not the best one here. I know manipulation when I see it. I'm not willing to give up any future job just so you can post. I'm not your plaything like the rest of the new-comers. You know full well that if you aren't active, you'll be booted. I can wait it out; I've been active more recently. I have respect for you, Lucius, but don't ever think you can outplay me. I'm the most stubborn son of a bitch you'll ever meet, and I have ways of getting you to do what I want. I'm not afraide to go above you. [/quote] Crossark, you've been inactive for a little over four months, and the only reason you even have a place now is because I was willing to wait for you. Now that's psycho. Regardless if you do as I say or not, I act upon my own whims. Do what I say and I will reward you. Don't, and you would have to wait until I feel like it. You can't make me do anything; your determination doesn't cause any meaningful effect. You're just waiting that someone answers your prayers for you. That is why I am a Merciful God. I am kind, accepting, and even understandable. I accept all with open arms and only ask that you listen to what I say when I tell them. I want nothing more than to be everyone's friend. Even if I must speak out against someone, it is only because I'm voicing the concerns from others. It's also why I have to constantly remind you all that this is something I do out of choice, not obligation. I could have very well simply killed off all those inactive, including you. I could have just gone on with the life of Annabeth and make no room for Cynn to ever come into play. But I didn't. Because I'm a merciful god. And bit of a weirdo. But I'm not someone you can merely "use". Don't take my generosity for some sort of weakness or notion that I can be manipulated. You want to challenge my authority? Feel free to do so, because I allow it. But don't think that it matters; in the end I decide when things happen and how. And if I feel that you don't get anything, that's too bad for you. You should try to pray towards the others, see maybe if they would answer your prayers.
