If things get real bad and you have to resort to cannibalism remember: Vegans first, they are the closest thing to grass fed.

Bio
✾ 𝙻𝚊𝚍𝚢 𝙰𝚋𝚜𝚒𝚗𝚝𝚑𝚒𝚊 Keep moving forward ۩━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ I've been at this a long time and when I say a long time I mean a long long damn time. I started out with table top, ADnD, back in the 80's, then dived into others: Nightlife, Mage the Ascension, Shadow Run, HoL, etc. Moved onto Online in the 90's. I've been running various incarnations of a single RP group for twenty years now. Worked helping setting up, building, and/or admining/modding various RP forums over the years: Adventure Quest, Priston Tales, War Gods, etc. It's been a long road filled with ups and downs. I'm an evil GM, you've been warned. Outside of RP, I am a mom. Yup, I've reproduced and there are little Lady A's running around plotting their own take over of the world. I am a published author and once upon a time an award winning poet. I've done a lot in my life. I haven't done as much as I would like. I've grown a lot. I have a lot more growing to do. I love to cook, baker by trade currently. I went to university and majored in Mathematics. I've programmed websites, worked as a model, worked as a 3d modeler. Shit, I even used to dance. And have been known to sing a bit. Jack of all trades. Master of like 3, lol. ⚘ Looking Inside ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ This is where I go into my personality. In the past I would normally make some self deprecating remark about how I am a bitch of a GM, pushing my rpers as hard as I push myself and so forth. Not anymore. People change, or perhaps they just come into their own. This can happen at any age. More than that it can happen several times over the course of your life as you discover and rediscover yourself. Everything happens for a reason, usually that reason is ones owns actions. Or inaction's. Right now, I am in a better place than I can remember being in the longest time. I am happy and at peace. I have no regrets. Maybe I should but I don't. I plan on keeping this peace I have found, I went far too long without it. Currently I am enjoying several things. Some are things I have enjoyed most of my life: Coffee, chocolate, bacon, M*A*S*H. One isn't something I have enjoyed since I was seventeen: being clean and free of poisons in my system. It is beyond description and I love it: One-hundred and twenty days and counting. Music taste is shifting to more mood oriented than anything, strange I am finding a lot of newer Country I am enjoying and I have NEVER liked country. Watching things like Lark Rise to Candleford and being hooked to the point of reading the trilogy. Recently added yoga to my workouts and all I can say is, "Fuckmaste: the fucked up in me accepts the fucked up in you." ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ |  ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ↕ The first step is scary. ↕ ↕ Take it anyway. ↕ ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ Current Roleplays ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ Resources and Tutorials ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ My Main RP Peeps ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ Everything Else |

Hey everyone, this is a little message that is getting dropped into all my Rp's to everyone. Right now, I am sure some of you have noticed I am getting a bit, how to put it, frustrated as of late? Yeah, that is a mild way of putting it. I've actually contemplated just shutting everything down and walking away.
Yeah, thing is months back I had a family "incident" so I withdrew as much as possible to keep that from spilling over into RP. In the process of taking that step back, well there has been some back lash. A common problem has developed in most every RP and with a high percentage of the posts. Not just 1 problem but several. I am here to address those now before it gets any worse.
1) People not reading posts - This has got to stop. RP needs to be remembered to stand for as "Read" then "Post." Things are getting missed in IC and OOC. You need to read every post, whether you are part of it or not, or tagged or not. People are missing things as simple as where a character is. This shouldn't be the case at all. People are missing a lot more. What they or others are wearing, where they live, etc.
2) Characters acting "out of character." - I keep very close tabs on your characters personalities. So much in fact I pull of each of your character sheets and reread their personalities before I read each of your posts. Yes, there is such thing as character development but then there is just down right now following what you put down for your own character. I am seeing this happen a lot when someone has an end game for their character and then suddenly their character is acting like a different person.
3) Not following the rules. Now people are doing pretty good with keeping up with their counters, I am not having to remind people as much as I used to. (Granted, some of you I have honestly given up reminding. You are going to ride your counter to that last possible moment no matter what no matter how much I tag you. So not even bothering anymore.) But people are forgetting some of the rules. Things like no character sheet edits ever without permission from the GM granted before hand. Editing their posts without Gm approval before hand. Not posting the required min in RP (Which as a reminder is two well developed paragraphs. Not 1 paragraph, not two short ones.)
So... What to do about this? Well we are going to get back on track. This is your "friendly" reminder. I had a much more bitchy one typed up but I figured I would try to go easy one last time. (After this, no holding back full Evil Overlord GM will come out. Those that have seen her can attest she is worse than LLA on a Tirade.)
I want everyone to take the time to reread the rules, reread the Guide To RP Etiquette. I need you all to make sure to read all the IC and OOC posts before you post. (That means even 1 second before you post make sure to do a quick refresh to see if anything was posted before you hit enter.) If you need an edit, you ask first. Keep your characters in character. Pull up your own character sheets and reacquaint yourself with their personalities. Most of us run a crap ton of characters in many Rps, it is easy to mix them up. So do yourself a favor and just take five minutes to reread that little section.
What's gonna happen if we don't get back on track? I'm just gonna go full Evil GM overlord and boot people. It's really that simple. The rules were agreed to when you entered, so that is on you.
Also, I want to take this time to let you in on a little secret. I have a file on each of you. Every time you do something good or bad, it gets put down in it. I have down every time a post was awesome, every time you picked up on clue, every time you didn't read a post before posting. Heck I have every time you posted a "why" you are behind or asked for an extension. Do you know I have had at least 1 Rper try to convince me that the same grandmother died - TWICE - A month apart?!?!?! Seriously..... ~shakes her damn head~
As your GM it is my job to make sure things run smoothly, that everyone is involved, and the story progresses. I'm trying, I really am. I need your help to keep things running smoothly. I'm like your RP Mommy. Mommy is trying to keep the house in order but if you keep breaking shit... Well, no more time outs. I'm just gonna start dragging y'all behind the woodshed and whoopin' much ass. >.>
Again. This isn't a single problem by a single person in a single RP. If you are guilty of any of this - trust me you aren't the only one. So we are going to work together, get back on track, and hopefully things will smooth out.
That about covers it. Back to your regularly scheduled RPing.
~Lady A
P.S. Don't PM me about this. Seriously... I will gut you and I ain't even playing. Smart assed comments following this will result in a kick. I just really am down to zero fucks to give anymore. Upvote this post with a thank you or a like to let me know you have read it: laughs won't count. (You have 72 hours from this post to do so, not to will tell me you didn't read and will result in a boot. If you are in multiple Rp's I expect it to be acknowledged in each OOC)
P.P.S. Yeah, and one more thing. I don't have to know every thing that is keeping you from posting. I stopped counting in the triple digits for some of you with the school or work is kicking my ass. (Hate to say it but school and/or work kicks all our asses. It isn't a new flash or an excuse.)
And now I'm done. See you in RP.

In the process of taking that step back, well there has been some back lash. A common problem has developed in most every RP and with a high percentage of the posts. Not just 1 problem but several. I am here to address those now before it gets any worse.
1) People not reading posts - This has got to stop. RP needs to be remembered to stand for as "Read" then "Post." Things are getting missed in IC and OOC. You need to read every post, whether you are part of it or not, or tagged or not. People are missing things as simple as where a character is. This shouldn't be the case at all. People are missing a lot more. What they or others are wearing, where they live, etc.
2) Characters acting "out of character." - I keep very close tabs on your characters personalities. So much in fact I pull of each of your character sheets and reread their personalities before I read each of your posts. Yes, there is such thing as character development but then there is just down right now following what you put down for your own character. I am seeing this happen a lot when someone has an end game for their character and then suddenly their character is acting like a different person.
3) Not following the rules. Now people are doing pretty good with keeping up with their counters, I am not having to remind people as much as I used to. (Granted, some of you I have honestly given up reminding. You are going to ride your counter to that last possible moment no matter what no matter how much I tag you. So not even bothering anymore.) But people are forgetting some of the rules. Things like no character sheet edits ever without permission from the GM granted before hand. Editing their posts without Gm approval before hand. Not posting the required min in RP (Which as a reminder is two well developed paragraphs. Not 1 paragraph, not two short ones.)
So... What to do about this? Well we are going to get back on track. This is your "friendly" reminder. I had a much more bitchy one typed up but I figured I would try to go easy one last time. (After this, no holding back full Evil Overlord GM will come out. Those that have seen her can attest she is worse than LLA on a Tirade.)
I want everyone to take the time to reread the rules, reread the Guide To RP Etiquette. I need you all to make sure to read all the IC and OOC posts before you post. (That means even 1 second before you post make sure to do a quick refresh to see if anything was posted before you hit enter.) If you need an edit, you ask first. Keep your characters in character. Pull up your own character sheets and reacquaint yourself with their personalities. Most of us run a crap ton of characters in many Rps, it is easy to mix them up. So do yourself a favor and just take five minutes to reread that little section.
What's gonna happen if we don't get back on track? I'm just gonna go full Evil GM overlord and boot people. It's really that simple. The rules were agreed to when you entered, so that is on you.
Also, I want to take this time to let you in on a little secret. I have a file on each of you. Every time you do something good or bad, it gets put down in it. I have down every time a post was awesome, every time you picked up on clue, every time you didn't read a post before posting. Heck I have every time you posted a "why" you are behind or asked for an extension. Do you know I have had at least 1 Rper try to convince me that the same grandmother died - TWICE - A month apart?!?!?! Seriously..... ~shakes her damn head~
As your GM it is my job to make sure things run smoothly, that everyone is involved, and the story progresses. I'm trying, I really am. I need your help to keep things running smoothly. I'm like your RP Mommy. Mommy is trying to keep the house in order but if you keep breaking shit... Well, no more time outs. I'm just gonna start dragging y'all behind the woodshed and whoopin' much ass. >.>
Again. This isn't a single problem by a single person in a single RP. If you are guilty of any of this - trust me you aren't the only one. So we are going to work together, get back on track, and hopefully things will smooth out.
That about covers it. Back to your regularly scheduled RPing.

P.S. Don't PM me about this. Seriously... I will gut you and I ain't even playing. Smart assed comments following this will result in a kick. I just really am down to zero fucks to give anymore. Upvote this post with a thank you or a like to let me know you have read it: laughs won't count. (You have 72 hours from this post to do so, not to will tell me you didn't read and will result in a boot. If you are in multiple Rp's I expect it to be acknowledged in each OOC)
P.P.S. Yeah, and one more thing. I don't have to know every thing that is keeping you from posting. I stopped counting in the triple digits for some of you with the school or work is kicking my ass. (Hate to say it but school and/or work kicks all our asses. It isn't a new flash or an excuse.)
And now I'm done. See you in RP.

Hey everyone, this is a little message that is getting dropped into all my Rp's to everyone. Right now, I am sure some of you have noticed I am getting a bit, how to put it, frustrated as of late? Yeah, that is a mild way of putting it. I've actually contemplated just shutting everything down and walking away.
Yeah, thing is months back I had a family "incident" so I withdrew as much as possible to keep that from spilling over into RP. In the process of taking that step back, well there has been some back lash. A common problem has developed in most every RP and with a high percentage of the posts. Not just 1 problem but several. I am here to address those now before it gets any worse.
1) People not reading posts - This has got to stop. RP needs to be remembered to stand for as "Read" then "Post." Things are getting missed in IC and OOC. You need to read every post, whether you are part of it or not, or tagged or not. People are missing things as simple as where a character is. This shouldn't be the case at all. People are missing a lot more. What they or others are wearing, where they live, etc.
2) Characters acting "out of character." - I keep very close tabs on your characters personalities. So much in fact I pull of each of your character sheets and reread their personalities before I read each of your posts. Yes, there is such thing as character development but then there is just down right now following what you put down for your own character. I am seeing this happen a lot when someone has an end game for their character and then suddenly their character is acting like a different person.
3) Not following the rules. Now people are doing pretty good with keeping up with their counters, I am not having to remind people as much as I used to. (Granted, some of you I have honestly given up reminding. You are going to ride your counter to that last possible moment no matter what no matter how much I tag you. So not even bothering anymore.) But people are forgetting some of the rules. Things like no character sheet edits ever without permission from the GM granted before hand. Editing their posts without Gm approval before hand. Not posting the required min in RP (Which as a reminder is two well developed paragraphs. Not 1 paragraph, not two short ones.)
So... What to do about this? Well we are going to get back on track. This is your "friendly" reminder. I had a much more bitchy one typed up but I figured I would try to go easy one last time. (After this, no holding back full Evil Overlord GM will come out. Those that have seen her can attest she is worse than LLA on a Tirade.)
I want everyone to take the time to reread the rules, reread the Guide To RP Etiquette. I need you all to make sure to read all the IC and OOC posts before you post. (That means even 1 second before you post make sure to do a quick refresh to see if anything was posted before you hit enter.) If you need an edit, you ask first. Keep your characters in character. Pull up your own character sheets and reacquaint yourself with their personalities. Most of us run a crap ton of characters in many Rps, it is easy to mix them up. So do yourself a favor and just take five minutes to reread that little section.
What's gonna happen if we don't get back on track? I'm just gonna go full Evil GM overlord and boot people. It's really that simple. The rules were agreed to when you entered, so that is on you.
Also, I want to take this time to let you in on a little secret. I have a file on each of you. Every time you do something good or bad, it gets put down in it. I have down every time a post was awesome, every time you picked up on clue, every time you didn't read a post before posting. Heck I have every time you posted a "why" you are behind or asked for an extension. Do you know I have had at least 1 Rper try to convince me that the same grandmother died - TWICE - A month apart?!?!?! Seriously..... ~shakes her damn head~
As your GM it is my job to make sure things run smoothly, that everyone is involved, and the story progresses. I'm trying, I really am. I need your help to keep things running smoothly. I'm like your RP Mommy. Mommy is trying to keep the house in order but if you keep breaking shit... Well, no more time outs. I'm just gonna start dragging y'all behind the woodshed and whoopin' much ass. >.>
Again. This isn't a single problem by a single person in a single RP. If you are guilty of any of this - trust me you aren't the only one. So we are going to work together, get back on track, and hopefully things will smooth out.
That about covers it. Back to your regularly scheduled RPing.

P.S. Don't PM me about this. Seriously... I will gut you and I ain't even playing. Smart assed comments following this will result in a kick. I just really am down to zero fucks to give anymore. Upvote this post with a thank you or a like to let me know you have read it: laughs won't count. (You have 72 hours from this post to do so, not to will tell me you didn't read and will result in a boot. If you are in multiple Rp's I expect it to be acknowledged in each OOC)
P.P.S. Yeah, and one more thing. I don't have to know every thing that is keeping you from posting. I stopped counting in the triple digits for some of you with the school or work is kicking my ass. (Hate to say it but school and/or work kicks all our asses. It isn't a new flash or an excuse.)
And now I'm done. See you in RP.
@FantasyChic Just noticed in your post - you character does not have a room at the hotel - she lives elsewhere in the city. Don't know if you meant it to come across as if she did or not. (Also post is short - min of 2 well developed paragraphs is in the rules of the RP. The short 2 paragraph ones have been pushing it, 1 is not allowed. Will not be accepted next time)
Well just one more reply from Mnkee and I think we have our collab done. ^_^
Captains Office Doorway - Anisa cocked a brow when Gene did not enter the room and decided to air everything right there in the middle of the hallway. She knew the woman was well trained, well she at least suspected she was. Anisa didn't have a clue what actually when into Companion training but she had figured that it would at least involve a bit of tact; for example not airing everything in the middle of the hallway when it was a well known fact that Anisa was a private person. It made Anisa wonder just how much of this was because Gene needed to vent herself. For Anisa losing Camilla was just another body, Quinn dying was vengeance in it's purest form; yet the Captain knew that Camilla and Gene did speak from time to time, maybe they were closer than she had known. Gene was also known for keeping company with the Alliance folk, for all she knew Quinn had been a lover.
"Listen, thanks and all that gorham hell but no. Maybe one day but right now I got a crew to take care of. Last thing any of y'all need is a blubbering pile of weeping emotions of a captain. So go, have some tea, meditate, and Nama-stay out of my way for now," she said in the captains usual blunt tone. Oh well, at least she wasn't yelling. That was a good thing right? Maybe it wasn't. The captain was known for yelling, not to be was out of character for her. Shaking her head she turned and stepped fully into her new] office and shut the door behind her, sealing it before Gene had a chance to respond.
Stepping over to the desk she sat down and looked her and Jackson's things that were dotting the room now. They had managed to box up and transport a fair amount of everyone's things before they took off from Whitefall. Anisa wasn't just going to leave Jackson's life there to rot or be ravaged by Reavers. Seeing his personals laying there she leaned back in her seat and rested her chin on the back of her hand. "Damn it Jackson..."
"Ahh well the good Lord gave us the rainbow so that we could enjoy all the colors of the world, that includes all the Ma Jung Hwa we can think of," he said giving a slight chuckle. Sitting back in the chair he gave a nod while Foy went on about his profession. The man seemed to truly love what he did.
"Nutin' wrong with sticking with traditional methods. Jesus was a carpenter. There is grace in workin' with ones hands. Mind you the closest thing I do that comes to such is either using my fingers to peruse the bible, playing a good hand of cards or makin' things explode but to each their own," he said as he let Foy do his thing.
Holding steady he looked over at Foy. 'So tell me my good man, what places you on this vessel? You don't look like the type to go in guns a blazin' but then again, appearances can be deceiving. I dare say that this isn't an Alliance uniform I have ever seen. Granted, if that had been the dress code when I was Chaplain in the Alliance, I might not have defected."
