Stone Dragon: Kult of Athena's selection is as good as their website is bad. You can even get an Albion from them though you'll have to wait a year or so.

Adding to that, as I am aware for example of that 'report things' deal, I don't report things because I think I can deal with it myself better than I trust the moderators to do it. And in other situations, that has led to harassment off of RPG, because people don't trust the moderators to deal with it adequately. Simply saying 'you need to report things' isn't enough if people are dissatisfied with what happens after you report something.


I have to agree with this. I have never reported anything because it seems more practical to walk away from the thread or handle the matter yourself.

From their posts in this thread they seem fair and rational. But because I never see them in action I get the impression that some sections of the forum are a free-for-all. Contacting a mod always seemed like calling the police in the middle of the zombie apocalypse ;-P
@Jbcool No problem and thank you for sticking with the RP through thick and thin like this. I don't see a lot of Sister of Battle RPs so I'm really happy this one is staying alive.
Vitruvia had observed sister Alexandra's interrogation of the prisoner without expression. Such was the fate of heretics. It was the will of God. And if it was the will of the God Emperor then Alexandra was doing His work. How could it be right to flinch or be repulsed when God's will was carried out? So Vitruvia suppressed any discomfort. She did not allow herself to even acknowledge that she could feel such a thing. It would be wrong. And Vitruvia was righteous.
Besides he was a heretic. They weren't really people.

Then the suicides began. Click-click-click-click-click- COVER YOUR EYES!-- she heard the Inquisitor yell and she did, pressing her face into the black cerimite of her forearm. The stench made her gag but the ruin the device made of the heretics faces brought joy to her heart. Better to interrogate them, of course. But could the righteous not but celebrate at the perishing of heresy?

When the Governor was revealed to be a imposer himself she shouldn't have been shocked. After all she had suspected treachery from the moment she had realized how opportune his rescue had been. It was too much of a coincidence.
But she was shocked. Not merely heresy but a doppelganger! Such devices were surely the work of the Xenos or the Ruinous Powers. Vitruvia shivered inside her battle scared power armor. It was unholy. It had to be.

Shaken as she was by the revelation she nonetheless obeyed the Inquisitors commands immediately. Her helm went back over her head and she drew her bolt pistol, advancing toward the nearest group of guardsmen and begin disarming them by force. Stunned by the sudden developments several did not resist but one attempted to jerk his lasrifle away from her. A right cross hit his jaw with a crack like an autogun shot. He dropped to the ground and blood ran from mouth.

No one else resisted. Vitruvia stacked their lasguns out of reach and herded them into the gunship with her boltpistol.
@Kratesis This is all cool and all, but I still don't know why you think not a single change can fix the guild.


This is a misrepresentation of my position. I don't feel the Guild is broken. The Guild appears to be doing well. I feel that there are several problems within group RPs that cause them to have a poor success rate.

Because there is more than one problem I can't think of a single individual change that would address all of reasons why group RPs have a low success rate. If ten parts on a car wear out replacing one part won't fix the entire car. The issue is more complex than that. Not every group RP fails for the same reason. Nor do all group RPs that fail to complete do so for a single reason; most are fighting against pressures from multiple fronts and eventually the forces that drive the RP forward are no longer sufficient.

If there were just one problem someone would have solved it by now.
Welcome to the guild and thank you for the lols in that there title hehee.
@Inkarnate Would you accept a Pepsi?
@Raddum My friend you seem slightly perturbed. Perhaps even upset. As if you feel I have disrespected your street gang or dishonored your dojo. Such disrespect requires retaliation of course. And thus here we are, trading snarky remarks over the internet while the micro lynch mob grows.

That raises the question. Do I:
A: Ignore you until you forget and go away.
B: Phone in the long ass explanation post to appease you.
C: Pretend to apologize.
D: Tell you all to go fuck yourselves.
E: Make snarky comments back (obviously I lean slightly toward this option ;-P ).
F: Explain why I don't want to write a really long and detailed post and getting dragged into a multi-page argument that will no doubt involve a grand amount of passive aggressive remarks, snark and barely veiled insults because there is nothing in it for me?
You guys (and galls?) aren't going to be open to what I have to say. You are already angry. You aren't really interested in my perspective; you just want to bait me into putting myself out there to give you a target to beat up on because you feel disrespected by someone who you feel is beneath you in the RPG hierarchy. The group mind has decided I'm guilty before I even present my case. So why not skip bail and save myself a lot of energy, time and verbal punishment?

If I thought you lot were actually interested I might put in the effort to oblige your request. I say might because I am a person too with my own interests and preferred ways to waist time on the internet and to be honest if I find it is more interesting to chat with another friend or catch up on a TV show I would do that instead. I don't really feel any obligation to explain my bitching in the bitching thread and I wouldn't even if we were all on friendly terms. Which, does not seem to be the case, I must say lol.

And you know what? It's totally cool. I do understand where your feelings are coming from. Plus this kinda thing is just part of being on the internet. Sometimes your the windshield, sometimes your the bug lol.
@pugbutter@Raddum No thanks lol.
@BCTheEntity Like I said above I'm skipping this round of posts because my characters reaction wouldn't be anything notable :-)
