For the record, Saito's outfit as described in his profile is essentially the standard Japanese school summer uniform.

Another cultural note is that Japanese people typically remove their shoes while in private residences; thus, Saito is retaining at LEAST two Japanese mannerisms in the present setting, most likely more (though the shoe thing hasn't had a chance to be shown in-game yet).

DOOD!!!

Hm...Does anyone mind if I Retcon Sir Steelman's character? I mean, he hasn't really done anything important to the plot, hasn't answer the PM I sent him several weeks ago, and is kinda taking up the Sun Arcana...

Taco, you're friends with him, right? Could you ask him how it's going and if he still interested in the RP?

No objects.

Also, Angry, writing what other people's characters do without their permission is called God-Modding. It is frowned upon.

And it's almost always my character.

Also, I guess I don't mind about the Retcon.

On a different note, Is it all right for the walls of the maze to be store shelves or does it reach as high as the ceiling?

I'm just avoiding acknowledging his existence until I'm sure he isn't going to get kicked out.

I'll go with whatever Taco recommends on Steelman.

The shelves are moderately high, and somewhat hard to scale. If they weren't the whole maze-seperation thing would of looked kinda stupid.tongue

Also, does anyone find it interesting/infuriating that Angry doesn't seem to even be acknowledging our advice at all?

You know what, I'm going to say this bluntly: Angry is any out of 3 things, a troll, a noob, an idiotic jerk, or a combination. I am truly sorry to have to be this blunt, I say what I see, saw, and knew was going to happen; moreover, you are being way to patient with all this. We are here to have fun and play together, not to put up with and idiot or a troll, or babysit someone who honestly doesn't seem to know what is right and what is not, even if all the information necessary is available right from the start in the discussion and sign up threads, if I read it all and informed myself beforehand, why can't he?

This may seem hypocritical coming from someone who is a n00b himself and has not, safe for one or 2 posts, contributed at all to this game. As I see it, this matter needs to be done with now and with no further delay, the game has been disrupted enough as it is.

I apologize for the offensive nature of my post, but I can't be patient anymore, and fear that if I were to actively start playing right now it'll end up being for naught with this issue unresolved still.

Once again I apologize for the rude and offensive nature of this post, if you want me to delete, I will comply immediately after you say the word.

Then how about this. We will let this be his last chance to play in the RP. If he breaks the rules or takes things into his own hands one more time then I think dark should just kill him. It could serve as a Moral Event Horizon for the villains, a reminder that this is a dangerous adventure for our characters, and that it'd be pretty cheap to not have someone die in Persona.

@Rareitor: I don't see your post as hypocritical at all. I, for one, think I'm being a little too patient with this, and I'm sure the others are rather annoyed as well. But, I must say, Angry is at the very, very, incredibly least, trying to get better. I mean, at least now he tries to type with decent grammar and gives a reason for some things, instead of just ignoring all of what we say, and at least now he isn't typing posts of invariable stupidity and trying to control other people's characters.

Really, all I'm saying is, since he's improving, I'm giving him one, small, very small chance, and if he does anymore godmodding or starts screwing up stuff for everyone, I will boot him out. No exceptions.

[up]Yes. That seems like a good way to do it if the need arises.

I also hope that you are reading this, Angry.

Thank you. Someone should inform him, though, about our decision. I think it'd be best for him to know.

If he doesn't read it here, the DM can just put it in his next post.

[up]...so, Taco, earlier we were debating on whether we should Ret-Con Sir Steelman's character or not, since I couldn't really get a hold of him with a PM or anything. Though, since you know Sir Steelman, do you think you could ask if he's still interested in the RP?

He said he wasn't too interesting on Friday, I think.

So, does that mean we could Retcon him or?...

So, Personae in this RP can be like armor, right? Would it be better for Eros to be Gabriel's armor or just an independently-moving Persona? Gabriel isn't much of a fighter, and his only weapon right now is a wimpy Palette Knife (although he'll probably be a 1-Hand-Sword/Knife user in the future, should I develop his fighting ability further).

Ehh, I'll just go for the "Classical Persona" form for now. I can Retcon shit anyway, right?

Sorry if i'm acting like a noob, but i got started way after you guys and have to play catch-up. Sorry.

I have the urge to dissect you now...

#173: Feb 7th 2011 at 11:47:03 AM

[up][up]You can be either or. Really, Classic Persona is better, especially if you're giving your Persona some personality. Really, I made Reid's Persona come out as armor as it pretty much symbolizes how while it seems hollow and empty, it has infinite potential. Or...something like that.tongue

[up]Don't worry, I know it can be rough when you first role-play. I remember being all over the place when I first started!tongue Really, just don't take control of other people's characters, even if it's just something for a line of dialogue or whatever. from what I see, you're getting better already!smile

It's recently been striking me how awkward Saito's dialogue sounds... but that makes sense, since English is NOT his first language.

Hm...I'm gonna bring up a question: Should this be a Mini-Boss or the true, Dungeon Boss? Asking because we've been stuck in the Department Store From Hell for a pretty long time, and am wondering if everyone's getting rather tired of this or not.
