Alright, since things are starting to lean toward a derail, I'd like to reitrate we could all be a little more aware/acknowledging of each other. Because feeling invisible kinda sucks.

And again, I apologize for some of the ruder stuff in that initial post. Especially to the people I "called out."

What Umbra said. I'm guilty as well, but I can't help but feel as if apathy is sort of contagious. People feeling apathetic because they themselves are a victim of apathy.

Umbra: I don't really have a problem with being "called out" mostly because it's something that I really am guilty of doing all the time, no need to apologize. Oh, and thanks for the compliment.

Sixth: Oh you. =P

While I'm not saying it excuses it, the fact that you were raising the issue publicly after having been affected by it again meant a bit of rudeness, or at least a bitter tone was to be expected. I think that may be part of the reason we keep having repetitive issues after resolving to fix them, because they pretty much only get brought up under stress, then after we calm down we don't want to do anything about them.

Not trying to be accusatory or anything here, just feeling reflective right now, and I'm as guilty of it as anyone else here.

On that note, Recap really needs work, but I wouldn't know where to start, and stuff like that really isn't my forté. There is the Current Events page on our wiki, along with it's archives for when it was used, but there's only been a few sparse things added since early August. If we want to use it, it's useless without the information being added. Once again, I'd do it myself, but not my forté.

Maybe we could start by deciding how to divide up the different parts of each arc.

I can remember details but not sequence, so not sure how much help I'll be with recap.

As for apathy... well, I don't say anything because I have nothing to say. When I get invested in something, I get really invested, and then everything else kind of falls to the side. And in WAAPT, there are just so many things that half the time I just don't care about what's going on. You say "important", but what's important to someone isn't to someone else, especially when it's going on half a world away with a bunch of characters you never interact with as the culmination of a plot you were only half following.

If I have criticism or thoughts or something, I will give them. But a lot of the time, I just don't have anything to give.

Crewe: I think it's more about stuff people have put a whole lot of effort into, rather that "important" stuff. Small stuff can be important, and big stuff can be relatively unimportant. It's just the big stuff we want feedback on.

But still. If I have no emotional connection with the post, the best I can do is comment on mechanics. And I don't think that's what you're looking for.

Edit: If mechanical, meaningless comments are that important to you, I can make an effort to say the post was fine or something. But that doesn't even occur to me if I don't have real thoughts to give.

I suppose... I guess this argument's starting to get kinda pointless. So back to the main message: Try to be a bit less apathetic. Nobody necessarily has to succeed, but at least attempt to. This is to everyone. At least acknowledge that you saw the big stuff, even if you don't have an opinion on it.

And from what I've seen, you seem to generally have thoughts on the big stuff anyway, Crewe. :P

Just a heads up, I'm going to create a new Character: Morvas Rugard, Mons: Raxus(Haxorus), Noble (Kingdra), Mach (Garchomp), Meteor (Shelgon), and Specs (Flygon) He will be starting out in Ecruteak, and he is a Dragon Monotype Trainer.

This might just be my imagination, but I feel I might have been developing some attitude problems over the past week or so. If I have, sorry, I'll see if I can fix them.

I P Med Pika about the Groupshot and he told me to say he's hit a snag.

Apparently his scanner stopped working, so he's taking it in to get it fixed. He estimates that because of this, it won't be finished until, at best, a week from now.

He's disappointed it won't be well into the new year before it's ready, but he isn't sure what else to do.

DS: I will be reading that ASAP! :D

Crow: That's too bad. But hey, we've waited this long, when he gets it done, he gets it done. :)

That was a good chapter, DS! Great character development for Sera, Azure, and Amethyst!

Azure is one of my favourite of your characters, and I didn't think Amethyst would have such Hidden Depths.
