Year 60,000 Discussion

No, he just handed the fight off to Scorp so he could finish it for him, and then distanced himself from the game altogether, which sounds to me like he was under the impression that the encounter was going to end up favoring Oblitus anyway, though I can perfectly accept that not being the case if he was indeed just busy dealing with stuff IRL. Either way, I wasn't specifically refering to that battle in particular, Nato, since Dane didn't end up finishing that one, so doing so so wouldn't exactly be a fair comparison. What I'm talking about is actually the majority of the combat he takes part in as a whole, and if you go back and read it all, the pattern becomes pretty clear (at least, in my opinion). I'm not purposefully trying to diminish what you've accomplished in any way, shape, or form, just trying to point out that he doesn't seem to be putting in as much effort as everyone else. He even calls himself the "scum of BZPower" in his very own signature; if that's not an indicator of some type of issue, then I don't know what is.

Usually, most fights take up an entire page of a topic when adding all of their related posts together. When the ones involving your characters start hovering around half that number, and you're a fairly active player, that generally means your head's not in the game for some reason or another. I'm not trying to be offensive or anything of that sort, and I'm not going to pry because his personal life is frankly none of my business, but I'd like to think I can recognise an issue when I see it, and from the looks of things, Dane doesn't appear to be bringing his best to the table when it comes down to writing his combat posts. In short, it's not fair to the people he plays with, since he's not giving people much of a challenge, and more importantly, it's not fair to himself.

Again, I apologise if I seem to be coming off as The Supreme Lord Highness of the Jerky People or whatever by bringing this up and addressing my concerns in the way that I am, but honestly, all I'm trying to do is help out a little, even if my attempts at doing so do in fact royaly suck. Anyone else who reads this can go back to simply ignoring the problem if they really wish to that badly, but that's simply just not who I am, so please excuse me if I'm personally incapable of doing that. Dane, if you ever feel the need to talk to someone, feel free to send a PM my way if you want, and I'll be more than happy to oblige. As far as my last few posts go, however, I've said my piece, and frankly, I see no further point in turning this discussion into another senseless argument.

The Supreme Lord Highness of the Jerky People

 

My next member title.

[Dane-gerous]

Tima, the whole REASON I left as a GM was the fact that I did not have the sufficient amount of skill, enthusiasm, or general knowledge to play on.

Me handing Sharky to Scorp was after me getting *****ed off at Nato after a huge argument in a Skype chat.

Scorp offered, if I remember correctly.

After all this, I was feeling extremely depressed, and decided I wasn't ready to take on a GM role.

So I quit.

I quit this stupid ###### game, and since then, I haven't had a big a problem as what happened back then.

And for some reason, I accepted when Miras asked me to join back.

I think, Omega is a prime example of how bad my fighting really is.

The reason I "give up" so much during combat is because I'm actively trying to avoid arguments.

This whole issue is one of the reasons I took a temporary hiatus from rping.

So, what the karz do you want from me Tima? Do you want me to stop fighting in RPing, so others can get a "challenge"? Because, I'm perfectly obliged to do that, if you want.

Also, I quit again, Miras.

I don't think there's really anything left to quit... this game seems pretty dead...

[Dane-gerous]

I'm just confirming I do not want to continue as a GM.

[Nato G]

Oh, okay. Fair enough.

It was fun while it lasted, but I think this game's been hanging on by its fingernails for too long; it's time to end it. Thanks for playing!

[Specter Knight]

Well that was fast.

 

I think we need some new RPGs, Fast. I've still get 2 new characters to get approved for Corpus rahkshi, which is the only RPG (Besides the BZPRPG, that is) that is active right now.

(I'm still gonna use some of my characters in this in some other thing at some point...)

[The UltimoScorp]

Well you could always tke a look at the planning topic, where there are several RPGs being brewed right now.

As someone who wasn't part of that particular Skype Chat (or any of them, for that matter), I had no prior knowledge of anything that occured there, and, as previously stated, was describing how the situation appeared to look from my perspective. I already said that I had accepted the possibility that I could've been wrong, though I apologise once again for not making that statement clearer.

I think, Omega is a prime example of how bad my fighting really is.

The reason I "give up" so much during combat is because I'm actively trying to avoid arguments.

Dude, part of the reasons RPGs exist in the first place is to help people step outside their comfort zones and do things that they wouldn't normally do. It's supposed to be a learning experience, and having a few disagreements here and there over details is a part of life in general. They're going to happen eventually, whether in-game or not, and while your intentions are in the right place here, they shouldn't be preventing you from having fun or trying new things. That's just taking it a few steps too far.

I'm not without my own faults here, either. As someone who generally doesn't socialise that often with people I don't know, stepping into this forum was originally a way different experience for me, and I still don't attempt to reach out and interact with other people myself that often, despite having been here for a little over a year already. Granted, it's still a bit of a WIP, but it's still something I'd personally like to work on at some point, and I'm not going to get any better at it if I stop trying altogether. All I'm saying is that the same should go for your fighting.

This whole issue is one of the reasons I took a temporary hiatus from rping.

Which was both completely acceptable and well within your right to do so. You'll find no arguments from me concerning that point, as taking some time off in order to collect yourself is sometimes the best thing you can possibly do.

So, what the karz do you want from me Tima? Do you want me to stop fighting in RPing, so others can get a "challenge"? Because, I'm perfectly obliged to do that, if you want.

That's not what I want at all, Dane; in fact, it's actually quite the opposite.

If you don't try to provide a reasonable challenge to other players in your posts and insist on cutting your battles short, then you're not giving yourself the room you deserve as a player to grow and learn from your experiences; it's that simple. What you need to do is grab your problem by the horns and stop letting it control how you play the game. Like I said before, all I'm trying to do is help you out a little. Yeah, my wording sucks sometimes, and the tone you're using seems to imply that you took my previous post the wrong way despite my assurances that I wasn't attempting to be hurtful or mean, but I just don't want whatever you're feeling right now to make you quit RPing for good at some point, and I don't honestly believe that anyone else wants that either.

[Dane-gerous]

I don't understand why you care, honestly.

I'm just some guy in the internet.

[Nato G]

Looks like I crashed this game.

 

With no survivors. 

[Dane-gerous]

no

NO

NO

NOOOOOOOOO

[Makuta Miras]

I beat you to that meme, Nato.

[Nato G]

Sue me. 

[Ghidora131]

This may come off as offensive, but this is running slower than Asylum's plot points.

[Nato G]

Maybe because the game's being closed down?

[Timageness]

I care, Dane, because like it or not, the BRPG Community has become like a second family to me, even if I don't know all of you that well. Plus, losing another player is never a good thing, and honestly, if you weren't looking for at least some type of positive reinforcement, you wouldn't be bringing up the issue every few days or so in the various Discussion Topics.

Back to the topic at hand, so long Smackdown, Phantom, Blockbuster, and Unused Vortixx Character Concept! While some of you didn't get to do very much, and one of you never got to be fleshed out enough to become a character in the first place, I'll still miss you nonetheless!

[Dane-gerous]

I'm not bringing up the issue anymore. Maybe I was before, but not now.

[GSR]

While I don't know the details of what's going on here - and as such any attempt to get directly involved would probably make a bad situation worse - I do ask that folks keep things civil while discussing the game and what could've gone better.

 

Unless there's a strong push for this to be closed immediately, I actually don't mind leaving this topic open for a bit so people can work out how to move forward and how to make future games better.  So feel free to carry on for now, just again: (despite a regrettable amount of past evidence to the contrary) RPG discussions should stay friendly.

[Ghidora131]

All i have to say is: I'm sorry on how this turned out.

 

What sounded like a good idea turned into something running Asylum's time frame and ending in a big bang. I hope that you'll have more success from the players/Co-GMs/plot in the future.

 

Other than that, i'm afraid i can't offer any other advice that i haven't said already here or elsewhere.

[Krayzikk]

I think it's probably safe to close this now.

 

psssssssst eyru that's your cue

[Ghidora131]

I'll miss you, Y60K.

[Eyru]

I think you're right, although keep in mind that the report button is generally a better method of handling these things.
