I know this has nothing to do with roleplaying, gaia, or even the internet. But the weirdest thing happened to mee tonight.

I'm really sick right now, tons of body aches, head ache, and coughing. I can't sleep at all so I'm trying to find a comfortable position to sit/lay and watch adult swim since tonight's the one night for anime. During the commercials I started talking to myself in my head, and for some reason everything I said was in FRENCH! I'm learning it this year, but half the stuff I said I had no idea what I was saying and just guessed I was translating everything said on the commercials... It freaked me out >=O It's so WEIRD!!!

And yes, I blame the fact that I'm sick for my knowledge of french for that whole ten minutes -.-, very scary...

....One time after a whole day of watching anime non stop when I went to sleep that night my dreams were in Japanese and then when I woke up me and my mom went to IHOP and the murmur of the crowd sounded like Japanese! And then I realized I was thinking in Japanese. I don't even speak the damn language...

Please tell me that you were at least watching subbed. If that was English-sound anime, it would REALLY be bizarre.

LOLOLOLOL! I want that to happen to me XD

I sing japanese songs a lot... sometimes it's not even an anime themesong. I've slowly taught myself 4/5 words.

Word I know best: Aishiteru... It's in a lot of songs...meh



Someting really funny happened this morning actually. (took me 3 minutes to remember when and what) My friend Lilly was taking off her backpack, and she kicked it to push it towards the lockers before it land. It grabbed her leg and pulled her over with it XD

good times... good times... I fall over a lot come to think of it... mhmm...

Now... *Pops his neck* I believe it is time to recount the tale of what happened to me over the last few months. Honestly, there's gotta be more entertaining stories for me to tell, but hey, I can't remember them. So let us recount the tales of my struggles from the Guild RP, Terra De Ange (If anyone sees a resemblance to the book Kushiel's Dart, well there is a reason for that which I will get to.)

First off, lets begin with the premise of this guild. It's the same Terra De Ange from the book series that shares it's name. Except the premise is to completely remove all the main characters from the book, and replace them with Mary Sues and Marty Sues (Fear the male Mary Sue) to make the setting 'better'. The guild is completely geared towards pandering to the Guild Masters wish fulfillment. Now, I have no problem with this, I love fulfilling wishes. The problem and first failing is that the setting is so limited that, if you don't do what the GM wants, you really can't do anything.

This might explain why the guild has failed no less than 5 times in the past and the Guild Master still refuses to let the premise just die.

So lets get to the personal things, So I create my character for this guild. My character personally, is heavily influenced by the Eberron campaign setting (Which meshes rather well with the concept the GM was going for) and inspired slightly by Witchblade (Which I admit, doesn't). I made everything to standard D&D rules, even borrow out some abilities and weaknesses to make sure the character is balanced. And the guild master basically rips my profile to shreds and I have to revise it 6 times to make it 'good by her' and 'good by the mods'.

Except when we get to her friends, oh yes, they get accepted without even a mod having a word in edge-wise, as the mods who abandon her guild later tell me. All the abilities that where unacceptable, are in her friends characters in spades and in even less balanced forms. Mind Control, Self-Cloning, Armageddon spells, you name it.

Her own character is the biggest Mary Sue of all, and not just that, but a Mary Sue of SATAN! No Joke, the girl is rolling a Fallen Angel Mary Sue named Lucifer, who is by all intents and purposes, Satan but Female, Lesbian, and the World revolves around her, and she can do no wrong. Even if she is killing innocent people left and right, she is blameless. Her weaknesses are negligible and more there to randomly switch her character from Purity Sue to Black Hole Sue archetypes as she whims.

So the RP begins, and immediately, we got problems. Everything my character does, she seems to find problems in. My character is a violent character with alot of psychological problems. So I have an event where I kill off a few NPCs, and have my character make it look like self defense so she can assume a position of innocence and self-defense.

It's a cunning plan to the others in the guild. But she has an HUGE problem with it, and meta-games her face off. She uses her control of the guilds NPCs to basically ban my character from all events.

So I send in my character to get a copy of the bar's security tapes, to give to another character and prove my characters false innocence. Once again, she meta-games, saying that there are no tapes, there is nothing to copy, and that it was all removed. And I was like, "well, did you post your NPCs doing this?"

The answer is a resounding no. And even her mods back me up on this.

After this, posting stops in her guild, I wait for a month and a half for posts to continue playing and none come. When I remark on this, she bitches at me, saying I am being impatient and makes a score of excuses for her friends, who seem to be uninvested in the story at this moment.

After another week and a half of excuses, and my remaining silent, I wipe my profiles to prevent character theft, and post up that I am quitting and that I can be contacted for a reason why. This is the response I got:

The Satan Mary Sue
I don't particularly care enough to PM you, to be honest. People have lives, the internet isn't you know the main part of everyone's life.

People have to work, pay bills you know?

This guild was for my past roleplaying friends, and some of the ones I thought were good enough to blend with the realm. Unfortunately you could not, because you put forth your ego and what you seem to think of as modly capabilities in others faces.

The more dedicated members enjoyed the slowed pace because it fit their schedules, you know life has obligations? Kids that need attention? Perhaps you can't get that into your head long enough to care.

Personally I'd rather not ever roleplay with you again, you annoy me and most of the members here to no end. Your constant drivel, and prattish 'advice' is unbecoming.

Good riddance, and good luck in the real world. You obviously don't know what it is like to have a life if you continuously put down us not having time to roleplay.

I have not once questioned your methods in auria despite how some of us feel about them, i merely stand back and let it happen because you are the mod of said guild. I do not tell people how to do their jobs, and neither should you.

You obvious do not think before you speak.. Not that it made any sense.


My response?


Ten Tails
Fact is Lucifer, all well and good if you want to hate me. Great. I really do not care if you do. You may rightly be entitled to do so.

Fact is that I hold a very different view on this than you, I understand this. And you might very well hate me for it.

I wish you and your guild the best, I am sorry you are so upset over me leaving because honestly, the guild is not right for me, or the way I play.

I am sorry we have such different play-styles and views on what makes a storyline compelling. I personally bare you no ill-will and would welcome you to attend any thread I post in the future. You don't even have to play with me, if that is what you desire.

My personal reason for leaving was I felt that the potential behind the story and setting had been lost. My interest and investment in the tale was gone after a week without posts. And without an investment, well, I can't likely enjoy any form of drama or intrigue can I? I viewed it as best I left before I filled your guild with lackluster, unfeeling posts.

@Lillian
Yeah, lol, I was watching subbed. Everything sounds cooler in Japanese.. razz

@Wynaro
I sing japanese songs a lot too, lol, but a lot of the time I forget the words and just kinda incoherently sing.. mrgreen I know a few words or phrases with their general definitions but that's about it.. plan on learning the actual language though..

I love listening to Japanese songs. The language itself sounds so much better than English to me. It seems like the English language makes women sound more masculine to me >.>

I agree. I'm very obsessed with Japan... I plan on mainly speaking Japanese once I learn it. And then I can watch anime without having to wait for the subbed versions to be released.. *passionate face* I should have been born in Japan... ;~;

Oh btw, do you know of any interesting fantasy RPs? c:

The students I know that study Japanese, at least year 2 and up, all have a higher voice pitch when they speak in Japanese, than in English. It is really neat. Granted, I mostly have just heard female students that are in year 2+.

Okay I have a story to share that Naro already knows to some point.

Okay I've set up a one x one search thread and get a reply from a person wishing to do an Inuyasha based RP with a paring I chose. I agree, and in her next PM she wants me to play Kouga, I agree only because I really wanted to do the paring of my choice. So we start and she wanted me to play Kouga for her character that was the granddaughter of Kagome and Inuyasha as well along with my OC. I go along only for the fact that it was just starting.

A few posts in she starts to control the guys and leaving my OC out of everything even when I make her interact with her characters.

So this is about three days in, and two pages of posts before she just stops. I sent a PM asking why and she said she injured her leg and that she was in too much pain to post. I say alright and leave her alone. A month passes and I know for a fact that she has posted in other RPs. (Stalked, but I was growing annoyed.) I try to ask her if she could post again to no reply. If she posts again I'll most likely not reply for the fact that she seems to have ditched me because I asked her to stop controling my characters.

In Japanese, there are several tones used (five, I think) that get used in everyday speech. These five tones are used to denote varying levels of respect, among other thing. The same syllable in any given sentence can alter the meaning of the sentence drastically. If you aren't careful you may be referring to someone's mother as a horse (or something similar). That's rather disrespectful, and Japan is often about respect and protocol. So you can imagine how well that would come across. wink
