Modding is hard, y'all, and I've been doing it for three years.
I don't like spending two hours explaining to someone why they can't play a certain character in my game. (Reasons: time-traveler that they didn't even bother to pretend to clear with me first and massive ad-libbing of not only two non-played characters, but also Logan, and you just don't ad-lib my boy. Unless I like you, and then it's okay. Also, sixteen year old prostitute.) All of which were explained in the first email. And then...oh, and then, I get this email from the same person: "Can I play Madelyne Pryor, then?" *headdesk* I said no and left it at that, but still.
I'll admit freely that I play favourites, okay. If I know you and like you, you can probably get away with almost anything within reason. Obviously, some people in Greymalkin know this already. Hell, even if I don't know you but you seem cool, we can work something out so long as it doesn't conflict with the game's plot. But I have limits. (And certain characters I just can't stand. Rachel Summers, for example. Another is Bella Donna Boudreaux, but that's another story entirely)
First day back at work after having a week off, too. Bleh. And registration for the spring semester starts tomorrow. And I have to work late the rest of the week. And I think I'll take up smoking again just to keep from strangling someone. It would probably help matters if I wasn't going through another bout of insomnia or would just take the medication the doctor gave me for said insomnia.
But I've managed to finish three books in the past few days, and tonight I kinda need to order my books for class. That was totally random. I think I need a little more caffeine. I've got another chapter on my thesis due, too. At least I've got the research done on it this time. I've just got to throw it all together and hope it makes sense.
Now I need to shuffle papers on my desk and look busy for another hour.
