Sugar and Spite — Roleplayer Guild

@Shoryu Magami The longer standing members of the site tend to have an over inflated ego. Now, I'm not saying that about all of them, as there are some super cool ones such as Gowi and Lady A, just to name a few, but some of the others just come across as... well, I don't know how to put it really. Perhaps as if they are better than most? Once again, don't get me wrong, I've learned a ton from these guys, but the way the act at times... makes me think they need a reality check. It just really messes with me a bit as well, because, like you say they ARE the senior members of the site and you figure they would be the ones trying to make people feel welcome. 

The post with Oliver, for me, anyway, was the first time I actually realized that your advice was good. Even though you are/were sleep deprived when writing those posts, your advice seemed genuine as where in -not that thread particularly- but some others that I have seen are just like 'Oh hey, here's a cliché answer now shut-up and leave us alone.' And honestly, it means quite a bit to know that I'm one of the ones that keep you around this place, but if it ever becomes to much for you, just let us know and I'm sure we'll all understand. 

Sure thing. Maybe I will. We'll see.

Heh, regardless of whether I actually am those things or not, it's refreshing to know you don't think I am. My own perspective about words like "preachy" and "self-righteous" is that they're entirely subjective terms; so I am those things to some people and I'm not to others. It's impossible for me to have a personal opinion regarding myself on those things because the words I "preach" are what I believe. I openly admit to the long-windedness, thanks to me having legitimately floods of thoughts going on through my mind at all times that I'm literally unable to put a lid on. Honestly, even when my posts are huge I'm only giving a fraction of what's going on in this screwed up head of mine.

You're probably right about me needing to cut myself some slack a bit; sometimes I feel like I'll die long before I finish my work just because of what stress does to my body. I guess I just don't know how to switch off for a little while. Good to know that my advice is better as a result of the way my mind works. I've always assumed that, but it's better when other people say it since it makes it sound less subjective. There's good days and bad days, for sure; I'm just having one of my nastier nights right now.

I don't particularly mind giving names (it's part of the discussion I had earlier), but if you want to know I'd be mentioning it over PM. No worries about hunting them down (even if it was a joke), since it's not like I care what they think. My ability to just say "fuck 'em" is precisely one of the reasons I'm still on the site, actually. I don't inherently care what they think, however that's also my undoing; because I don't care what they think, if enough people irritate me on the site I could imagine myself just deciding the place isn't worth my time at all. You guys really are the only reason I bother being here. I don't need to role-play here; I have other ways (in fact my primary role-playing has been put on hold due to this place distracting me). If I didn't think the people I'm getting to know here were worth it, I'd have left by now; I rarely stay on a site for that long usually unless I created it, and even then I "exodus" a lot. I'm an internet nomad, I guess.@Shoryu Magami

No problem with being a nomad. If you want to give names, that's solely up to, really. Sorry I didn't get back to you sooner. 

Are things a bit better for you today?
