GMs can trust that they share expectations of quality and creative direction, making it nice that they even put up any kind of CS at all. I've seen plenty of GMs that don't over the years.

And you can't cherry pick which players get to do a CS, and which don't. So.


Maybe so, but like I already said to GG, a GM should best embody the standards they wish their players to meet. If they want a player to fill out a full CS with six paragraphs of origin story, a cast of supporting characters, and a sample post then I feel it not only fair, but also courteous if they do the same. After all, the leader most respected is one that shares the hardships of those they wish to lead. On top of that A lazy GM encourages lazy players. Fair enough, a player can't emulate a GM in not finishing their CS because then said player just doesn't get to play. They never get the chance to be lazy. But if we don't jump that first hurdle, I.E. Completion of CS's, and instead just barrel through it and hope for the best, who's to say we're going to manage to jump any of the hurdles that follows.

Regardless, I was just busting balls. I can't actually make anyone finish a CS, and as you say GG and Vandy are well within their rights to never finish them. Doesn't mean I'll stop winding them up about it though.

That and trying to start an OOC revolt.

Oh, I know. It's good everyone feels free enough to express themselves in the OOC. Lacking or forced communication can hurt games.

How does this OOC thread get so serious so fast!?


Maybe we're just serious people?
Or we blow things outta proportion.

Either works.

Yeah, in my experience there really is nothing that kills a game faster than lack of communication in the OOC.

. . . Well, that or GM's that don't finish their CS's.

Who said I was never going to finish it? I didn't, its less being lazy and more I've been busy with a job and packing to go on a trip this weekend. Plus studying for the ACT and running another RP on another site. Finishing my accepted CS is not on the top of my agenda at the moment.

Now jokes are fine, but beyond that is not.

Okay, back to happy discussions and jokes about Lex being short and bald. Enough of the "he didn't finish his thingy" finger pointing.

Oi. So if I said, I just drove 14 hours on Saturday and I'm still unpacking, going to job interviews/filling out applications, trying to find out where the heck the closest wal-mart is: I wouldn't have had to have finished my CS? Why did I know this loophole before? Lame. D:

Is Lex short? Isn't Lex generally like the ideal physique for a man to acquire in order to further his parallels and envy of Superman. Lex works hard for everything he has whereas he perceives everything Superman has to be because he's an alien.

With all that said, I'm going to be hammering it out on my CS. As Sam already knows, bios are the bane of my existence, so I'm going to be juggling it out between playing Arkham Knight and writing.

@Blue Demon, @Natty, @Weird Tales, your CS's are accepted. I'm going to be a party pooper and officially make this a full RP. @Lord Wraith, @Nightrunner, you're exceptions. Get your CS's up when they're ready.

Ugh, okay I'm done with this conversation. I'll put all my posting on halt and finish my damn CS. Happy? Good. I think that's enough internet for the day.

Sorry, kind of. I just moved to a new state and it did bug me just a little. But if you don't want to finish yours, that's all on you. I'm not telling you want to do.

Yeah yeah fine, can we talk about something else now? Nice weather we're having, birds are cool, spiders are mean. Anything. How about what DC Comics is doing now. Superman got nerfed, that was cool. Bats is "dead", not as cool but interesting. Oh and now Hal is a wanted man, and Deathstroke is probably shooting someone.

Both are WIPs. Trying to keep up, develop both, and probably finish Tim first, post thrice, then formally apply as Rayner.
