Dude, you and I both know that I can conduct an argument in less than 100 words. You don't have to write a damned essay to get your point across.


are you replying to He Who Walks Behind?

Dismissing arguments because theyre long is literally the laziest and worst reason for not having a discussion.


It is unnecessary to have to such long posts for one issue which has clearly caused confusion. In my opinion when someone over explains a single issue like what was discussed then they are trying to sound smart and don't help at all.
He Who Walks Behind said
I was polite to Arch until he didn't read my post, attempted to reply to it regardless, and then proceeded to give my friend and I unsolicited writing advice. That's not helpful or trying to find a solution, it's just belittling. It's the same as going to a basketball game, watching none of it, finding out what the score was at the end, and trying to tell the players how they could improve. His advice wasn't even pertinent, as he was quoting Stephen King's "On Writing", a book that talks about writing fiction (and, yeah, cutting out needless stuff is a very useful thing to keep in mind when writing, but there's a difference between length and needless fluff; Archmage incorrectly said King advocates minimalism in his writing and keeping things as short as possible, which is not true) when we're dealing with nonfiction/rhetoric, which is entirely different. And, not to sound condescending here, we're thoroughly dissecting the problems we see in this RP. If it's more than you feel like reading, don't read it. We put this in the OOC and not PM's because we felt they were issues that threatened the overall RP, and if you're not concerned with that, keep on scrolling. I feel like trying to summarize it into one sentence is pointless, and being told that we should is dismissive of the effort we've put into analyzing what we perceive as wrong. Likewise, saying it's all an angry rant writes off any legitimacy I had without actually responding to it. Regardless, I have issued "one sentence" criticisms previously in the OOC and they've been ignored. I feel my posts get to the point perfectly; there are many points, and I elaborate on them. I'm not rambling or attempting to misdirect you with their size, they're merely my full thoughts on the matter. My posts aren't big to try and confuse anyone; they're big because I have a lot to say. Well, had.And I don't mean to be petty or semantic, but telling us that we fail at language while saying "if people can't understand what your saying" is somewhat ironic. Telling us that it's our failing after you thoroughly read the entire thing and responded isn't anything on us, that seems to be more of a problem on your end. If you were confused by anything in there, you should've mentioned it with your initial response and not halfway through the argument that followed.Regardless, this is going nowhere. Out, for good.


no offense but the fact that you can't get to the point with a single issue as you and Leonerdo put it, then it sounds like you're trying lecture people and over complicate things for sake of sounding smart. Dude no one likes being lectured too and you're causing confusion which doesn't help at all and ruins the feel of the rp, which is why I suggested taking this to the PMs. The fact that you keep coming back after saying you are done with this rp shows that you're trying to continue the argument instead of just leaving.

And I completely agree with LeeRoy, if you have ONE issue with the rp then the why hell do you make such long posts? It is ridiculous and unnecessary. Whenever I have a problem with an rp I get to the point and don't go on a lecture, which why my post are almost always two paragraphs at the most. and again Archmage was simply trying to tell you stop over explaining things and bringing up multiple things because it confuses people, not everyone shares your same communication style.

So for the last time I am telling you that if you don't get to the point then I don't see a need to clog up the OOC with insanely long posts that confuse people.
I finished his CS
Leonerdo said
It is because Didect is making arguments that doesn't concern what's actually wrong and doesn't address HWWB's actual concerns. It sounds like you aren't actually reading into what either party is saying. Oh, and congratulations for completely dismissing him and his argument (and how it might even help others by addressing the actual problem!) by waving it off as an angry rant. That's like disregarding a woman's anger or upset by saying it's because she's on her period.Regardless, I've made my cases and I said I'd leave. Good luck with your roleplay.


doesn't excuse the rudeness that HWWB was to archmage just because he was offering a solution. your posts are confusing people by bringing up multiple things, and we are asking you to get to the point instead speaking with mountains of posts. If people can't understand what your saying then you fail at language no matter how sophisticated it looks.
The GM said that he would make changes to his posts next time and admitted to how replied to Leonerdo, so I don't understand why you keep saying he doesn't understand what you're trying to say. I feel like your long posts sound more like an angry rant when they are that long and you are just trying to say that.

Also on the subject of consequences, you're making it sound like either you don't think are enough or you don't feel like there's enough freedom in this rp

Wouldnt Phantom Stranger be a bit op sense his magic rivals spectre?(though I find it funny his weakness is turning to a mouse :P)


Why would it matter since we aren't playing as the heroes? Also if this rp is based off the show young justice then like with superman, phantom stranger's powers would be weakened
@He Who Walks Behind, just so you know i have spent the last thirty minutes carefully read and checking to see if your complaints are a real problem, and I got to say, it sounds to me like you wanted an anti hero who was above the law and liked having her insult the other heroes and it seems like you didn't like getting any backlash for it. Seriously Hot Rod almost died for crying out loud, your character only got wounded. Also your comment sounds very much like you think all non anti hero type heroes with good moralities are one dimensional, dude if the rp is based on realism then there are going to be good heroes, hints why we have so many human rights people in real life. It is very cliche and almost overused for rps to have tons of anti heroes. You don't have to be violent jerk to be a complex character, also the criticism against Zenith sounded more like an attack against superman and you and Leonerdo overlooked his weakness which clearly stated that he could be hurt by high level brawlers.

So in my opinion, this feels more like a complaint about your character not being allowed to get away with their rude and criminal behavior. I say this several times, but what works in comics doesn't always work in role playing, anti hero type characters can cause problems for these types of superhero roleplays. Look on the bright side at least your character wouldn't have been taught a lesson like the Elite were in Superman vs The Elite
