Making the most of a bad situation....RANT!!

[silverfoxninja]

I'm not going to deny that Una had to let go three players recently. Two of those players in the yugiohrp3 group weren't let go for disciplinary reasons while one of them has. I'm not going to sugar coat this. Una has given special allowances to the three players and one of them has really stepped out of line and went as far as to email me

I do realise that it's a month too late, but

[lightrobber]

I stumbled upon this just recently. And I can't help but wonder...

The reason that Lightrobber wasn't allowed to return was because she used a third party to get her voice heard instead of contacting the MOD on her own admonition nor contacted anyone that she expressed that she wanted to return other than to two players that were standing on shaky ground to begin with.

This.
Where did you get the idea that I wanted to return? Or that I was even trying to? If you've read my conversations with Skunky, which - I assume - is the case here, you obviously have not read all of them. At one point I did say that, if Skunky was in a dire need of a Noa, I could try to reapply. I was merely toying with the idea to console her, and we both were very well aware of it.
Later on in that same conversation I remember stating that I had no intentions of going back to this RP comm.
Because let's face it: If I had seriously considered the thought, then - just as you said - I would "contact the person in charge directly". Which I didn't.

But all of this doesn't matter now, after all this time has passed.

I just wonder about one thing: who was this other player whom I've seemingly talked to about my assumed return, for I remember no such thing.

Keeping in mind that this is the Internets and everything is SRS BIZNIS here,

It was in group chat on Gmail during a player's meeting around the 10th of May last year or so, where Skunky had said that she was expressing on trying to get you back in, is where I heard it. I keep those conversations confidential.

As you said that it no longer matters now, but I just wanted to get that part straightened out. I was mainly discussing about the conjecture going around that seems to be creating most of the issues since facts tend to get pushed to the wayside.

Then that might have been before I said my final word on not going back. Reformed evil-gone-good guys were never my cup of tea and I originally joined it only because Pearl suggested me to Mog back in the days when the comm was low on activity.

In reality, I was over and done with that RPC the minute I deleted Noa's journal.
Though, and I'll admit it, hearing that I "wasn't allowed to return" when I'd never sought for it, touched a nerve.

Re: I do realise that it's a month too late, but

That's completely understandable. I can understand the feelings of being left in the dark and suddenly getting news that you can't come back to something can be not only upsetting, but irritating when there was no word given.

The decision to leave was your choice and there was nothing that we could have done anyway. Forcing people to stay is more like a gestapo action and not free thought, which can be irritating as well. I was really disappointed that you had left and I was hurt and so was Pearl.

That's all water under the bridge now and presently, it's good to know that the truth is now told. Thank you for taking the time to explain your side to me and I feel now that there is closure on the matter.

Since I am no longer the moderator of that RPC, I really have no say in the matter any longer any way and yes, it irritates me when players are kicked out for no reason, but in the case of one particular player, I had stood up for her several times and the mod saw no other course of action but to have her removed. I can understand her reasoning, but I don't necessarily have to like it.

I'm currently in control of two villains and seven characters which puts a huge strain on me. I feel as if I'm carrying the plot on my own and that doesn't seem very fair to me, but hey, it keeps me busy to say the least since I have more free time than everyone else at the moment. Nothing special.

As far as the "evil-gone-good" guys are concerned, everyone has their preferences. It would have been nice to know this ahead of time before the plot took off the way it had. Would have saved a lot of heartbreak in the end, but this was also before we started to RP through planning in chat.

Needless to say, a lot of changes have been made as mistakes are learned and coped.

While the way I left the comm wasn't the nicest one, back then I saw it as the only way. Thinking back on it, I now know what caused it. I had problems in real life and in another rather yaoi-centric RP, and when I came to YGORP3 to kick back and relax only to see yaoi couples left and right, Seto and Amelda getting married dropped the proverbial last straw into an already overflowing cup and I jumped the gun.

And even though this may come too late, I apologise for hurting both you and Pearl.

Nine characters? I should be surprised, but knowing how low on membership this comm has always been, I'm not.
Sadly, this comm already has a bit of a bad reputation, so the chance of more players coming in isn't looking all that hopeful.

Re: I do realise that it's a month too late, but

I accept your apology and I'm not thinking that it's too late. I am honored that you took the time to remember and that's a very good thing to me.

Knowing your reason as to what had happened sheds some light and it's very nice to know it now. Thank you for letting me know. I can see that the stress could have been thick and it's understandable.

Nine characters? I should be surprised, but knowing how low on membership this comm has always been, I'm not. When I first started playing, I was playing 4 characters when you were still involved. Then as I became moderator at MOG's request, that number jumped to 7. At that time, it was a new record. I have played up to 10 at one time. I have 7 canon charcters, (one is on standby and that's Dartz and he'll soon be put out of play for plot reasons,) and I am playing 3 OC's (one of them is mine and the other 2 belonged to another player that was removed from the game for reasons of disruptive behavior and abuse. Once this particular plot is over, the two OC's will no longer be in play) By the end of the plot, my character count will drop from 10 to 7, which is a lot more manageable. I said 9 only because Dartz is almost dead anyway. (I apologize for the math.^__^;)

I am involved in another RP besides RP3 so the total number of characters that I play is 14. I maxed out on my characters which the number is 5. (4 canon characters and 1 OC.) I'm about to start a new one on my own where it's more of a crossover AU. I hadn't worked out all the details yet. Couples are not required.
