Welcome to Gaia! ::

So this is where all the big cats hang out....interesting.

I've been on Gaia on and off since 2005, my first account made the Bloodbath it's home for a brief moment. I'm old in a matter of speaking, more in the terms of age then anything else.

I happen to agree that most people push the whole "literacy is hard" line far too often. I've never been a fan of chatspeak and I am sorry to see the internet and the computer are removing certain skills from out society.

I can respect that very much, It's one of the reasons that I leave for short periods of time because people tent to annoy the every loving crack out of me.

Am I sometimes? confused

*laughs* Can't help but wonder how many times I've been at the other end of that argument. I've been accused of being a horrible Rper more then once.


But I have to completely agree, there has to come a point where you stop caring about everyone little whines and needs and merely do what you think is right for the world that you created. If that alienates certain people, then that's something that you're going to have to deal with.


As far as all those friends of yours that have gone into active service, I wish them only the best of luck and a safe trip home.

No problem. I was aware of the context when other people weren't, so I took the initiative.

Malice loves to just b***h people out for that, but whens the last time she's actually RPed in the bar? Being a part of the old trusted is nice, but I think when you've not rped there in almost a year, it's time to take a step back and realize that you're out of the loop.

I have to completely agree there Stallion, it's one of the biggest gripes that I have with people that I RP with outside of the Bloodbath bar. There characters are always several millennium old, and the vast majority of them act like infantile 13 year olds. Elias, who happens to be a character that I took out of retirement is by far the easiest to deal with since in a vast majority of ways he thinks like I do.

That and I find it easier to think about someone spending a 150 years alive as supposed to 2 or 3 thousand. Even then I find that I get stuck with Elias, if you've lived that long doesn't there come a point where you just don't care about anyone? I mean, they are all going to die eventually.

As an aside though, I've never been comfortable with the term immortality, since no creature mythical or otherwise has it. Vampires can die, and so can werewolves and demons and angels. They may not age, but death isn't something they have conquered. I think the word is thrown around far too easily and when you really stop to think about it, it doesn't apply to 99% of the characters on Gaia.

Elias included, though he hasn't figured it out yet, he knows that it's there. Lingering right outside the edge of his consciousness.
