Alright, got some time to review the situation now and there are responses here that have definitely not been civil. Those are being thumped as I post this and I've communicated with the writers to let them know why it is not alright to express things in that manner nor treat another troper that way.

However, the fact of the matter remains that the rules about G Ms being given the power to decide who is in their games at any time (except when objections to a player come from discriminatory avenues such as race, gender, sexual orientation, etc) are there so that a friendly environment can be maintained. There can be discussions, you will not get as well with some people than with others, but everyone, once in a game, should be welcome to be a part of it and its community. If that changes from one part or another, either the player has the right to leave a place and game they no longer enjoy or a GM has the right to take someone out of the game and world they run.

For the sake of everyone involved, don't do half measures. That is how hostility, resentment, stress and more build up into eventual drama. Either someone is welcome or he isn't. And now you have to figure that out. Regardless, Philosopher has been treated badly in this instance and for that he deserves an apology.

That is all.

If I'm sure of something it's that I'm not sure of anything.

At this point, yes PhilosopherStones, we really do owe you an apology in regards to how we've treated you and this whole situation.

We are, and more importantly I am, very sorry for treating your initial rejection from our Discord server in a fashion that really wasn't called for. I should've been much more polite and acted how I should have expected to have been treated myself in a situation like this. For this, the blame entirely rests on me.

But at the same time, the blame falls on us three (myself, Meanken and Makaioh) for handling the situation of your acceptance in a delayed and poorly thought out manner. The truth is that we've had reservations about your being here since day one, but we just didn't act on them. The prior testimony of what multiple people already in game have said about you have made us very wary of you from the start. What we did was try to dance around the issue of whether or not to keep you in, whether accepting you and then removing you would've been good policy, and then hope that a simple "no" would've been acceptable when you asked to join our discussion. This was wrong, and escalated the situation to where it just was now.

What we should have done was reject you outright from the game following a process of ensuring that you are or are not the right person for our group.

I'm sorry, PhilosopherStones, but it's clear that we still do not want you participating.

Therefore, you're kicked from this game, effective immediately. Please forgive us.

That's fair. I was hoping that maybe we could work something out and mend a few bridges I burned but I guess not. I'll accept you apology and take my leave.

Just a friendly reminder. In, ren for any area I’m handling I will be using blue text for certain characters.

That means that you can autohit them! Or control their reactions. Say if it is a merchant you can self serve and buy stuff.

If it’s an object this means you can manipulate it freely. Say opening a door or picking an object without needing me to confirm it worked.

But this is optional. If you want me to control the reaction of the NPC the old fashioned way, that’s ok too! I will do that.

WRT the Meridia quest:

Oh boy, combat time! But having to manually do everything for a bunch of enemies that are kinda... eh... sure doesn't sound like the type of time sink anyone wants. That's where this post comes in!

The corrupted shades are enemy units that require the damage from four standard attacks to kill, or two power attacks. Meanwhile on the "how much does this hurt" front, the archers deal light damage with their arrows, while the brawlers deal light damage with their weapons, and moderate damage with their power attacks. "Standard? Moderate? How can we use such basic terminology to describe a party of over eight characters with vastly different abilities? My guy has a plasma cannon, and this guy fights with a rusty spoon, how does this even work!?"

Level scaling, of course. That's why the damage done to these chucklefucks is relative to your own character. So the damage done to the enemies is proportional to how much effort your character exerts compared to their maximum, regardless of how you stack up against each other.

What's a "standard attack"? Well, whatever your character does for a normal attack for a few seconds - a burst of gunfire, a fireball, an axe swing. For the shades, this takes the form of a normal sword swing.

What's a "power attack"? Some high-powered attack your character does. For these shades, it takes the form of a powerful sword swing. For you it could be that, or a meteor spell, or a megaton punch, or a rocket launcher blast - anything that packs considerably more punch than your usual attacks. Power attacks have the bonus of (sometimes) causing the enemy to stagger!

What's "light damage"? Something minor - just a flesh wound!

What's "moderate damage"? Whatever would happen to your character if they got hit with one of their own standard attacks, that's what!

So don't stick around waiting for me to respond to every little attack you make, just go on in and start writing!

Just, you know, try not to kill everything at once and work with each other and whatnot.

@Udthe Imp

You might want to be careful about how you word stuff, since you made it sound more like something that happened rather then a suggestion about the harpies possibly being on guard. That way I could reply back how they react in proper detail.

Okay so apparently we are going to time skip over the IC planing for the fire nation assassination raid, so I have been told that it would probably be a good idea to ask this OOC instead.

Who wants to go on the team that will actually be going for the wetwork on the firelord...

And who wants to be on the viking style noise making team that will be raiding resources as a distraction?

Would be nice to know in advance, sorry.

Guys I just passed by to say one thing. I'm really sorry I haven't been around lately. Something personal happened and it went longer than I thought. I'm really sorry for the huge delays.

But to be clear, I am not disappearing like last time. Can't be on the chat atm. But I will focus on continuing tomorrow everything that I'm missing as usual smile.
