my drugs made me crazy last night. Apologies. I fucked up.Those smiley faces get under my skin fast when I'm medicated and I can't really explain why.
We all have our oddities. I know I have more than my fair share, so all good.

I don't find it very comfortable. If someone asks for romance with that, I go from "uncomfortable" to "lividly disturbed" pretty quick.
Look it's one thing to fantasize about other people. It's another to ask me to pretend to be them, especially if you're asking me to do serious thoughts and emotions like love or lust or hate or pain or so on.

Forum: Roleplaying Discussion
What Kestrel said. Also, villains fall under a yardstick of measurable humanity versus disturbia. Going too far in either direction kills the villain element. (A villain who is too human to do evil things is an anti-hero, a villain who has no humanity is a one dimensional villain who is entirely incomprehensible to the average person.)
There are also certain moral event horizons and special kinds of evil to watch out for. Crossing them typically puts you in the one dimensional evil territory unless you build the villain up to that level of evil. (Else he is just "generic edgy bad guy".) Think of things like murdering children, raping people, slaughtering/torturing cute animals, and so on.
The best villains are the ones who have some kind of restriction on their ability to do evil: Mentally, physically, or even something as simple as "society wants this guy dead so he has limited influence." That way there is some measurable, identifiable, relate-able justification for any extremes they might resort to in order to accomplish their goals. (ex: I want to take over the world so I can build my sky palace and have infinite women to love my pathetic ass, however I'm physically crippled, so I need to subvert others to do my bidding and sacrifice any who get too greedy for power themselves...)

Okay. Here goes. Official response.
First of all, I would like to take the time to apologize to everyone who read my rant. I was driven into a bit of a psychotic episode after a whole ordeal of IRL stresses piling atop these ones. The rant has thus-forth been obliterated unto time and I encourage everyone else who typed in this ordeal to go back and obliterate their own contributions so as to prevent a relapse.
That being said, I am still highly disappointed. Mainly with myself for succumbing to an emotional outburst at the worst possible time... However, this being said, it could have been handled better by all parties involved. First of all, it should have stayed in the OOC, so I could attack it when I was ready for it, and to not stress me out further than I already was. Second of all, those that were angered should have walked away to calm down before expressing dismay at the PM, which indeed, was a terrible written piece of tripe along the linguistic masterpieces of Nigerian Princes. Third of all, after stating dismay, arguments should not have flared up here.
Anyway, one thing that needs to get out of the way.
Zed. You're out. As in, blacklisted from this RP, and any future RP's I make. I've tried time and time again to tell you not to egg on problems and yet you do. This would not have been halfway as bad as it was if it wasn't for you, and pretty much everyone universally agrees you made a bad situation significantly worse. Atop this, this isn't the first time you've done this, and when I tried to talk with you about it, you reveled in what you did. I pride my RP's on being places where people can escape trolls, dehumanizers, discrimination, and so on. You have no place here as you repeatedly violate these things without a single regard. Get out, goodbye, and try not to let the door hit your ass on the way out.
As for others that need to be talked to, I'll address you in private, as that seems better than public call-outs that would only service to further divide those of us who want to role play. Because remember, at the end of the day, Sole, or whoever else sends you inflammatory content, is not part of this RP. There's no point or purpose to raging about it, especially at each other, or at me, over things someone who is not even part of the RP, has said or done.
Now I'd suggest a group hug and apologies go around, sooth any wounds. I know a couple relationships with me were damaged badly, I'm sure it happened to others here, and there's no reason the rest of you need to suffer with that. So brohugs. You can't stop the demon invasion if you hate each other more than the demons hate you, and some of them run on hatred.
(Protip: Gat loves tigers. If you want to warm up to him, drown him in tigers.)
Alright, so, to repeat a couple of other things.
If you don't have time to post in the IC: Let me know what you would like your characters to do in the OOC, and I'll describe it for you in the IC.
What about that IC post?: Now that my Internet is back, lets scale it back to Monday, give everyone the entire weekend to post in it. Does this sound fair?
What if I want to complain and derail the OOC more?: Take it to Steam or PM's.
But Brov-- Get outta here.

Indeed.
@Everyone: More official, less psychotic response coming up.
Editing, now that I'm home.

Get in your licks until someone calls you on your fantasy then walk away as if you were never flat-out wrong. Amicable he says.
? Never said I was right. You explained it to me like I was five. I got it, it made sense, does not really violate anyone's rights... So okay, I'm good with it. Yes it means my stance on it changed. Just means I am capable of rational thought. :p
Thus, "amicable".
Though if you want to mock someone who is ordinarily your ideological opposite for agreeing with you... Be my guest I suppose?

Did you get your place exorcised before you moved in?
Get your cultist beliefs away from my rationalism!
Translation: No.

How're things now that you moved out?
I have a den to hide in from the stupidity of the world. I'm happy.

are you a pony?
... No, and I hate that show. Not the fans though, some are chill folks.
Hmm...
Alright. Then I have nothing against that. *amicable*

@Imperfectionist: ... O.o You hate a person who has a different world view unironically? And then think yourself to be in the morally righteous position?
... How remarkable Christian of you. I'm sure Jesus would approve of absolute, seething hatred for your ideological enemies instead of like, accepting them, and stuff. Geez who would turn the other cheek or love thy enemies, what nutjob would do that!?
