This is not meant as a personal attack to any of you, but for those who haven't been putting your character images on the top of each of your characters' posts, could you start doing that. It makes it easier for those of us reading your posts, plus it makes the posts even better than they already were/are.

[HereComesTheSnow]

The giant-ass headers seriously aren't enough?

>better

I think I have an idea to make this true

@Altered Tundra

Yeah uh see explanations

My phone (what I access this site through nearly 90% of the time) can't cope with that many pictures. As it is, in order to even load the topic without glitching out, I have to set my phone to refuse to load them. The Character tab is a nightmare. I can cope with it without complaining, but I'm not gonna make it worse on myself XD

So... Pictures ain't such a priority for me... Sorry ;-;

No.

No.

@Sodium

like i'll do it but i'll be following the supergreatfriend doctrine and i'd rather not in the first place

[Onarax]

If needed I'd prefer to be able to put it in a hider.

It's a little frustrating having to scroll through large amounts of images and the frequent gifs can actually be pretty bad for my computer.

[HereComesTheSnow]

it really only adds

extra cholesterol to your bandwidth

[Onarax]

Yeah it's especially bad when I have to check this site via my phone.

My 200 MB are kill man.

I've already killed Sigs.

@HereComesTheSnow

So what you're saying is

we should slather the thread in bacon?

[HereComesTheSnow]

now that's an idea

@Kaithas

An easy way to fix that: don't use your phone to post. I heard those things called computers can be a lot faster.

@Altered Tundra

I couldn't have come up with a ruder way of saying that myself. Bravo.

[HereComesTheSnow]

You think he wouldn't if he could?

Cut the condescension, son. The fact of the matter is, pictures add literally nothing to the post and are, if anything, detrimental. If you have trouble telling people apart, well, to say it like you would:

Try that great new thing called reading. I hear it helps.

@Altered Tundra

Another solution is to leech off someone's wifi, but I'm sure they'd much rather not have to deal with that problem at all over changing their habits (which, previously, had apparently worked quite well). I mean, if I was a phoneaholic and didn't have ready access to my home computer, I'd be a bit miffed that the pages I commonly go to have buttloads of huge .gifs for no reason other than flavor.

We could easily make a compromise by keeping it optional, or gently but firmly request that people use still images. .gifs don't add all that much to a picture's worth.

@Scrapula

Um, that's what I did, but it was them that made it more than what it was. I just made the suggestion that having the pics of their characters on the top of their posts would make it even better than they were. They obviously took it out of context and made it into something that it wasn't. >_>

[Sodium]

@Altered Tundra No, that is not what you did.

This is not meant as a personal attack to any of you,

@Altered Tundra

What? How would a gentle suggestion ever be considered a personal attack? I think that YOU consider it a personal attack on us. You fully intended to have us perform your suggestion based on your status of power as Co-GM.

@HushedWhispers, I would like to petition for the removal of Altered Tundra's status as Co-GM on the grounds of direct rudeness to players, causing a great deal of negativity in the OOC, and attempting to covertly abuse power.

@Altered Tundra

You made your suggestion.

We said no, and offered our reasons why.

You went to the person amongst us with the, bar none, most legitimate reason for not following along, and what'd you do with that oppurtunity?

Why, only point out a commonly known fact in a smug, cuntlick manner, insinuating that he's stupid for not being able to use a computer.

Don't try and weasel your way out of this and play the victim here, buddy. The only escalation here was on your part, but god forbid you get called out on it, right?

@Sodium

You cite the reason that I was making a personal attack on all of you who didn't put your character images on the top of your posts and that I was being rude, but where exactly did you see that?

@Altered Tundra

This is what I said. Nowhere in it was I being rude or forcing you to do anything. I made a suggestion by saying "could you start doing it". Nowhere in it did I say that it was mandatory or required.

Now with that being said, you're actually trying to get me removed from being Co-GM due to some supposed rude attitude that I might or might not have? What's really going on here is a total misunderstanding of my tone and intention of saying what I said. I legit had no intentions of rudeness or forcing my power on anyone. Perhaps I worded it poory, but I 100% honestly didn't have any intention on making it martial law or anything like that. I'm sorry that it came off as that way and I also apologize for what I said following it.

[Silent Whispers]

Okay, how about this... Every single one you guys drop the whole pic madness. It's done with and if anybody else mentions it on the thread, they might as well take their leave now. Sorry but not putting up with the bitching anymore!

And no one is getting their status removed because they are actually active and posting and coming up with ideas for the RP to keep it driving forward! So that is the end of it. No more.

That is my call and I am sticking by it.

[Sodium]

@Altered Tundra, allow me to give you a scenario that you'll understand easily. I've included pictures for your benefit.


"I don't mean to force you, but would you kindly consider doing this thing I'm suggesting?"

Similar phrases include "I'm not racist, but..."

Now, this is admittedly an extreme representation of the scenario, but I'm sure you get the gist of what I'm seeing. On top of that, you're ignoring the fact that you literally verbally attacked another player when they presented a legitimate reason against doing what you've requested. You're taking the role of a dictator against people just wanting to have some fun, and frankly it's only going to cause issues going forward if you remain capable of doing so.

QUICK EDIT: @HushedWhispers I hadn't refreshed before posting this. Dropping the subject now.
