(( I know she did, but I still found the whole thing funny (if extremely gross). I saw some pictures of the pieces of the finger, and I still don't really understand how she didn't notice it until she bit down on it. I mean... they were pretty good sized pieces of the finger, and Wendy's spoons are pretty small. Besides, is Wendy's chili THAT chunky? >>;;

And I didn't know anyone coming in here, save for Merci, who was participating in the same flatsale, and we turned out okay (I hope). XD I guess I didn't mean to make it sound like ALL strangers would be bad for the RP, but I've seen some shops that got too big and the players ended up warring with each other and taking sides, all because everything got confusing because the place had so many people RPing and half of them didn't even know each other all that well. I just love RPing in small groups of close friends, whether those friends be mine, Merci's, yours or Drac's (just naming random people who are here), and if it gets to be too big I lose interest because there's so much happening at once it's hard to keep up. I wouldn't mind if a stranger came in and won the contest, I didn't mean it that way, I just meant if this place ever gets to have a few handfuls of players it could very well end up divided like a few other shops I've been a part of. ._.

*Probably shouldn't even be voicing her concerns.* I have the tendency to offend/anger people when talking about stuff like this, so I think I'll just shut up. sweatdrop ))

((Oh yeah, I know what you mean, I wanted to give another side. I think the problem for you is more big groups than being friends with everyone.

You should always, always feel free to voice your concerns. Otherwise, things tend to build up and explode nastily. Don't let me intimidate you.

I heard from someone they heard on the radio there was a woman in that area who had a finger bitten off by an exotic cat the same day that was never recovered or reattached. Sounds like a bit of a stretch, but the whole situation is odd...))

[Rhionnan Everwind]

(( Really? Wow, I didn't hear about the wildcat thing. Though that is farfetched, makes you wonder if it IS the same finger how it got from a wildcat to a vat of chili in a fast food place... o_O;;

I don't normally tell people about any worries I might have for the shop, I know that's dumb and potentially bad for the shop, but I just normally sit back and keep my mouth shut because I know somewhere along the line it's going to piss someone off. Problem is, I think maybe if I had spoken up in a few cases the shop that was involved may not have crashed and burned the way it did. ._.;;

I just really, really love this place is all, and I don't want anything bad happening to it. Ivy has done such an awesome job with everything here, and I love all the RPers that have Edels (and the lurkers that I know), it would really upset me if something bad were to happen. ))

((There's two sides to the argument yes... too close together you get hostile at "outsiders" as well which si bad, and too disjointed and not-so-associating creates splinters and problems when two or more sides don't see eye to eye on something... sometimes that can be good, if it's kept entirely IC of course.

Sadly, the major problem some people have is keeping IC and OOC seperate in RPs and anything character A does reflects exactly how the eprson behid it MUST feel about person B [even if ti was just Character A to Character B ICly] ... and of COURSE fighting ensues. Sad stuff... partly why I keep msyelf to the breedables only for my RP... more sensible people here I think. ninja That and the rest of Gaia is scary... I've done my share of looking around. But yeah... I think that's one fo my biggest pet peevces regarding RP - and probably why I see a lot fo people shy away form ebing more bitchy/dark sometimes is they're afraid fo the reprecussions - I mean good, proper depictions not godmodders who don't really care and all.

In other news I think my computer is really really fixed aside Photoshop/Painter. That's on my immediate to-do list so i can contiue things...

*avoids the finger issue* ... *shudders* xd ))

(( Ivy~, do you want us to wait to request the art stuff (old banners and character images) until the contest is officially open? << >> ))

Yesm, all such things are to happenin the contest thread.

[maskedquerade]

((*nods to Mintaka* I've actually done that, unfortunately. I bowed out of a PBeM game because I couldn't keep my feelings for my boyfriend, who I'd just broken up with, out of the way, since he ran the game and I was feeling persecuted irrationally and knew it was irrational. Of course, that killed the game, so.... ))

[Mintaka]

((Yeah... more then once I've removed myself form something rather then deal with stress as well.... stress + me = health issues. C'est la vie though - what will be will be and such.))

::ENVIES::

i miss kitties........
Mercedes doesn't count. she's always hiding behind the couch. might as well not even have a cat. ;_;

[Mintaka]

((I'll gladly give you the cranky calico. xd We're such softies... all ours were always inevitably strays... the calico we saved from evil-b***h director at a friend's work who wanted her sent to the pound/killed ... the silver tabby we found chasing a guy on a bike, the nosy mottled grey got ehrself stuck in a work shed at my dad's work, the black one was just... sititng in the street one morning... and the little black and white kitten [well not so little] just sort of appeared... and came inside during the winter form the cold... cantankerous little brat she is. Still trying to get her more personable, but she's inside permannetly now and learned how things work.

whee I am a cat person... even if my cats aren't people cats sometimes.

*sends a few to Ivy*

We've ahd over 2 dozen that I can remember.... xd We used to live on a cul de sac so people dumping cats aas a common thing - inside or outside cats in the end.. most has been 5 at once.))

((*locates new thread*

Cats are just, well ... cats. ^^; Mine isn't too picky, luckily.))
