So petty...
The people over at cabotschool are so petty!! omg. Seriously! I made an OOC post about leaving and I gave an explanation why. I got slammed with a bunch of petty lame arguementative shit.
My Original Post: I hate to do this, since I came to fill a line for someone, but I just don't think I can stay with this RP. I dunno if you guys do a LOOOOT of stuff through IMs or what, but this place just doesn't seem to move alot.
The thing I see posted the most is the really random stuff in privateering, which, no offense to anyone, but I don't see that posting lyrics and just random crap really counts as active role playing. To top it all off, it doesn't seem like people here thread very much at all. I made this post here, left it open to everyone and only has 2 comments on it since I made it, 5 days ago. The person who replied to it originally didn't even come back to scene out anything when I replied back to their comment.
Anyway, like I said, I'm sorry to do this since I came to fill a line. But my internet connection isn't descent/steady enough to do a lot of AIM RPing and the people around here don't seem to do very much threading in the main community, so I really can't interact with people or develop my character that way.
It was fun while it lasted
<3
Then, until the post was deleted entirely (or I was taken off comm's f-list, I'm not sure which...), 1 player replied in a mostly civil manner, though was obviously still pissed, the mods replied with their whole spiel, & the player whose storyline I came to fill SLAMMED me like there was no tomorrow about my writing skills and other various things.
The mods basically told me there was no reason for me to make this matter public & I should've contacted the mod team before giving up. Personally, I don't see the point in staying in a game if I don't like the way the game play goes. This stuff is supposed to be fun. I think these people take their RPs a bit too seriously!
Then, one of the players... I'll admit, they were mostly civil and just trying to defend a game they liked really well, so I didn't have much of a problem with them, except they had said something about my post would probably anger alot of people who were really fond of this RP. I told them I think it's really petty for anything to get too pissed over a FAKE GAME, but I was never trying to dis any of the players or the RP anyway.
And then there was the girl whose SL I had come to fill. I guess she was pissed cause she'd apparently waited for a really long time for someone to fill the line, then I came and left before it really go much of anywhere. But I still dont think that gives her the right to insult my writing skills and tell me that my realism was nowhere near real at all. I'm sorry that I made reference to a spoiled apple & bad food in a prep school cafeteria and apparently made mention of the possibility of a food fight, which is "Unheard of." *rolls eyes* Cause kids never act up and act out and just get stupid sometimes. ESPECIALLY kids in high school. Honestly, I guess what made it the worst was she even tried to tell me she wasn't insulting me, which is obviously totally not true.
Honestly, I think these people were a little too touchy and too serious about this RP, in my personal opinion. There's no way I'm staying in a game that plays more often in a way I can't (my AIM doesn't stay very well connected cause my internet connection is shitty) and where the majority of the posts I ever saw were in the "random/lyrics" community. That's not RPing to me, whether there's "random interaction" or not. I can't see the point in replying to someone posting a verse & chorus of lyrics from a song. What am I supposed to say to that? "Oooh, great song!" ? I think not. I'd rather be part of a game that had people actually interact a bit more and maybe the people there DID interact more than I could see, but I made my point of AIM and plus I like threading better, so yeah. I'm not staying with a game just cause someone thinks I should give it a chance when I don't really like/agree with the way things are played out. *shrug*
