I don't normally vent or rant publically but I'm about ready to blow a gasket with stress so I have to lay a few things out here that have been drivin me crazy for a few weeks... of course, those who need to read it probably won't be around to read it and those who will read it will think I'm aiming it directly at them when this isn't to everybody...

Firstly, I put in so much time to this guild and I feel like I am seriously taken for granted by about 50% of guild members. Here's what my day consists of: I get up at 6AM, get 2 kids to daycare my husband and myself to work, I get out of work at 5PM (which during the day I may get a half hour lunch depending on what i'm doing) and sit in about an hours worth of traffic home, I log on around 6PM to try to catch up on the guild and post instead of spending time with my kids... so I'm pretty sure my daughter things I like the computer more than her... because I like this guild too much to not give it what effort I can. Top it off with an infant who needs fed every 2-3 hours and gets quite fussy at times. I also am finishing up my last graduate classes... oh yea, and somewhere amongst all that I have to take care of the house and spend time with my husband. Christ, when I had my baby I was back online to help run things within a few days... I'm either insane or just dedicated to what I do.

I don't get how it is too much to ask for people to do a few things: post twice a week (not just throw five sentences out there but really contribute to the story), read at least the last few pages and know what's going on, to post of the proper length, grammar and spelling, etc.

I don't have time to do more than I am doing... and running a guild like this isn't easy. I have over 30 people I have to keep track of even with mod help... plots to write, PMs to send, posts to cordinate, threads to clean up, IDs to make, applications to review, mules to post for... this s**t takes time. a lot of it.

I am getting to a point where I don't want people around who can't give me some kind of effort in this guild. Please be honest with yourself. If this guild means nothing to you, please save me the hassle of PMing you multiple times to post or to find out when you will be active. I won't be offended. Really, I won't. I've been doing this too long to get mad at someody for needing to leave.

I really don't mean to sound like a b***h, but you just don't understand the flack that Reaver and I get sometimes not to mention the time we have to put in to keep things running at the standard it runs.

Erm...
*hugs LJ*

I think I might stick to just the RP thread for a while, rather than cluttering up the OOC Thread and people's inboxes. I feel like I'm close to making you guys feel like I'm an attention whore.

I mean, I am or I wouldn't be a theatre major, but there's a difference.

Like I said, the folks who read this neccessarily aren't the ones its directed too. Serrated, your enthusiasm for the game is always appreciated. Don't feel like you can't share your ideas. I like people input.

I also forgot to give both Reaver and Raelshus credit for this plot. Reaver's ideas will be coming along soon and Raelshus' brainchild was having Sam's consciousness switched that spawned this whole thing.

I forgot the part why I tell you all why I do this...

I give AX so much time because I believe in this RP. Some of you know I have been running RPs for about 10 years now of various kinds. I take things seriously because this is my free time. I take the people seriously and I value the people who put in their time to make this a grea game. This game has has the best players that I have EVER RPed with and that's saying a lot given the amount o fpeople I have worked with. Many of them over the years I'm still friends with. I'm not here just to tell a story.

That... actually means a great deal to me. crying

*Hugs LJ* I don't know whether that was directed towards me or not, but I read it, I understand how you feel, and I wish I posted more, but I've been swamped. I hate testing.

I hope you take many, many days away from the guild just because we all love you so much and your kids and husband deserve you loads more than we do.

D!zz!

Well, as long as I'm staying in OOC, congrats to me for having the 2000th post in OOC, and Dizzyful-Chan for having the 2000th reply. Woot at us!

Woot, damn you all!

The LJ appreciates your well wishes and must go pass out now.

Don's view on Asgardian 'gods' is quite interesting. I never thought of it like that. Although, Penance herself believes any mythological 'gods' just to be superbeings like mutants. I do'nt know how many were in the guild for her discussion during the one class we actually RPed smile

Well, look at it from his point of view. He's a pretty devout Christian (though admittedly still a sinner, which is inescapable), in a strange place whose inhabitants at one time or another, including the present, proclaimed to be and were worshipped as gods, even though the only real divine power any of them ever seemed to have was extreme longevity, intelligence, and strength. Almost any one of the X-students would make a better member of the Norse/Greek/Roman pantheon than these bozos.

It really is a viewpoint that isn't really expressed in the comics when it comes to such stories... at least that I've seen. A different one at that.

True, good job Serrated! *claps* I can see a lot of them as gods/goddesses.
PostPosted: Thu Jun 01, 2006 7:28 pm


Even if it were to be expressed, I don't think Nightcrawler has ever been to Asgard. And as (I think, at least) the only X-man with any clearly set religious beliefs (Catholic, as I recall), he'd be the one most likely to express dismay/disgust with the Asgardians.

As for Don/Hydrox/Myself, I see the Aesir and their people as an offshoot of the Celestials, maybe even the mutated version of the Watchers.

EDIT: Oh, by the way. I just put some gold into the guild account. Put it to good use LJ, or I'll eat your soul with mint jelly and a nice Cream Soda

I hope you did not all forget about me? wink Most of you probably don't even realize half the time that I am mod, same as LJ and Reaver. And to the new face that don't know me I am also one of your mods, I have just been on a very long hiatus sorting out things in my life.

As to the many things that LJ stated I with her word for word 100%. There are many things that have been happening in the guild that should never have happened in the first place. Which also marks part of the reason I have returned to the public. I have been still working as a mod behind the scences.

But be warned now that I am back there are somethings that are going to change.
