Sorry, Sand Dollars are the only currency we have in Hueco Mundo. If you live long enough, you might gain a pearl or two. Lucky for you, I have one. Would a 1000 year Pearl of Souls do?
The Insanely Large Intimidating Post!! (I dun wanna read it Momma! Whhhhhyyyyy~?!?! TnT)
To Your Post: I want to give you this one, really, I do. It forces me to think and provides me the opportunity to either show off, surprise, or impress you and your character. I want to take it because you are doing exactly as I wanted, working together/defending your comrade. This is wonderful. However, sadly, I cannot take it as is because I'm super Obsessive Compulsive when it comes to logic and technicality in fights and other squabbles. So I must address some concerns.
Quote:
You are not wrong but you may have misunderstood. But allow me to re juggle your memory: It does not say Negacion limits to one beam of light nor the limit of companions to save. Gillians generally appear in swarms and in apropos to the definition, they can save their flock as well. Primarily in the series, the Gin-Kaname-Aizen trinity had escaped as well as the others and it did not determine which one of the many gillians pouring from that hole that saved them. In short, the definition does not limit to one beam or one user.
You are quite right in this argument. I did look back, before putting forth my own, at the definition and explanation of the ability. However let me bring your attention to the underlined. While very valid points, one thing it fails to address and implication continues to emphasize is "Allies", being that Negaccion does not affect the self and therefore cannot save the self. This makes further sense because, otherwise, all Arrancar with the ability would have an impenetrable shield against all other outside forces to protect themselves at whim. Thus, even where it allowed, for the sake of fair play in a RP setting, this could not be allowed and as such would still be limited to use on others. But of course I was making this point for future reference.
Regards to Discerning Location and subsequent Cero This is what I meant by "I want to give you this one, really, I do," but couldn't. My first issue is with her discernment. So let's address that below. -Discerment: Now I'm sure Castaeva, due to character and experience, is rather observant. In this, it is fortunate you have history in this guild for it serves as a source for you to claim so. As such I'm sure she'd normally be able to keep up with speedy movements. But do explain to me, even in such instances, how she might manage to *instantaneously* --yes, instantaneously, for there is no other manner by which this could happen-- discern the real location of her opponent in a motion that indeed did occur in one instance, in one location, (being the dash and pivot to her left) then suddenly become aware that instead he was not there but on the opposite side --despite, mind you that an afterimage(if you will) does not fade immediately after the maneuver and therefore keeps moving, making a very suitable deception-- when her senses would accurately have noted that said opponent was moving in one direction, being to her left? I apologize of that's complicated or confusing. The question is essentially, how do you note the real one when faced with two entities simultaneously? In this instance, Pesquia is not a viable solution so not a good answer. While the character may not possibly be immediately aware of this, as the user you would be, and that is that my/Caelum's spiritual force is completely surrounding Castaeva (as well as the other). This was directly stated. This is effectively wipes out my/His discernible spirit sense. Frankly, trying to use Pesquia would confuse the brain as it would feel as though I/He is all around the user. *This* is stated in my profile. This should be taken into account.
The next thing for me to address would be the reactionary time which ties into the discerning of location and successive Cero. -Cero: Indeed Cero *can* be fired rather quickly, but not instantaneously. Presently, the only person capable of doing so is Myself as it is a custom technique with that being the focus. Furthermore, not everyone can fire their Cero quickly. But let's give this the benefit of the doubt. Let's say she can. With the speed at which I'm/He's moving, and there is not that much distance to cross, how does Castaeva manage to both turn or point her Cero firing appendage, charge, then release her Cero in time to potentially strike her opponent? And do so without blasting Ariana at the same time. =w= Now, it could be that the Cero is being prepped in this post to fire after my attack. If that's the case, that's fine!; it's smart and it makes sense. Furthermore I must make you take into consideration that Castaeva is supposedly, in her "very perceptive nature" (just going to go ahead and assume she is so) studying His actions. You must now account for the time it takes for her to perceive and process the approach as well as the potential strength behind the attack coming. But to know the attack is coming she'd have to see it, and this requires to wait even longer, even if only milliseconds more. But milliseconds are precious now in the defense of a comrade. You now must see the attack coming and possess the time and speed to react to it. And the attacking coming, or intended to come, behind her back....
OHHH YES! And something I don't want you to change (because this actually works in the story and for your character), while it should certainly be perceived so by Castaeva, Sonido was not used... ; ) This is significant for the character and the battle because Castaeva, despite being portrayed to have unbelievable perceptive skills (even tending into things that aren't being provided substantial outright evidence to suggest), mistook the great speed for Sonido when it was not so. This, for the sake of a good fair fight, means there is room for surprise and every bit legitimate ability to impress, even the aged and experienced former ruler. Let us not be too stoic or stale with one another, yes? After all, the reality is, Castaeva hasn't truly weakened, in the grand scheme of things, in the realm of Hollows, she's been Surpassed. This is supposed to be, then, (unless she met Maeve) the first time she's come across another Hollow being more powerful than herself. In this case, we must also keep true to her history.
So many things to keep in mind all at once~. *Sigh* I know.
I could just swerve around the things that aren't feasible and just post anyway so you don't have to worry about anything. =w= I remember the old school way of posting. We'd post as though all attacks and such were successful, then the other person would post in response either negating things or taking things as were applicable with their own goings-ons. Ahh, good times~.
I'd essentially be doing just the same. Ignoring/dodging what didn't apply and moving on with what did and then my own stuffs.

I'm glad, because with every concern you address to me, I, with my tireless personality, will accommodate every issue because this makes anything cleaner and sets better guidelines in the future.

A fair point but not valid enough, my Captain. Because you merely list the names of the techniques available but not provide the guild's definition or rule adjusted system. Thusly, leaving myself as a member to look at the most immediate wiki available, only to read that the definition that doesn't say: "It does not work on yourself."
Regards to Discerning Location and subsequent Cero This is what I meant by "I want to give you this one, really, I do," but couldn't. My first issue is with her discernment. So let's address that below. -Discerment: Now I'm sure Castaeva, due to character and experience, is rather observant. In this, it is fortunate you have history in this guild for it serves as a source for you to claim so. [Redera: Of course she is, regardless of this guild history or not, this is Castaeva as a character, not what she has to adhere to the guild's history standards, just clearing this out.] As such I'm sure she'd normally be able to keep up with speedy movements. But do explain to me, even in such instances, how she might manage to *instantaneously* --yes, instantaneously, for there is no other manner by which this could happen-- discern the real location of her opponent in a motion that indeed did occur in one instance, in one location, (being the dash and pivot to her left) then suddenly become aware that instead he was not there but on the opposite side --despite, mind you that an afterimage(if you will) [Redera: Because an after image is merely the mirage husk of the original and does not constitute as a rod of spiritual energy that of which she would detect it as anything fool worthy. (Because it had no trace of spiritual energy) So it was ignored because she can discern the spiritual energy.] does not fade immediately after the maneuver and therefore keeps moving, making a very suitable deception-- when her senses would accurately have noted that said opponent was moving in one direction, being to her left? [Redera: How exactly can you state that in her point of view: the opponent was moving in one direction, and yet it doesn't sound like a concrete fact with it being in the form of a question? Look to the answer I've addressed the moving clause immediately below: v ]
[Redera: Why!~ I'd love to explain. It's because she can, through the use of Perquisa. And again, I must defy your reasoning for saying that Perquisa is NOT a viable solution, when it is in fact a perfectly viable and opportune solution. Why wouldn't she be immediately aware of him, when his spiritual energy is so big and wide spreading? Perquisa is a fundamental ability most arrancars have **at heightened awareness and WITHIN their vicinity* to be able to track and trace spiritual energy and is not bound to do so in one area in one instance. By definition (which this guild also did not have for you to state against this clause): it again does not have a gauge on instances. Why wouldn't you be able to immediately sense such a large source of spiritual energy which the Lord Sovereign had been exuding even since his debut and now in battle?
Now I see the big issue. I re-read your post x <--- While you did mention the use of His Sovereign Gaze (Your custom technique that enables him to cause confusion in reiryoku), and while you explained it, you did not directly state it's name. This is a major mistake in my part, because if I had read that unknowing it was a custom tech at first glance, I would have called you out on it wondering why such an audacious event had happened without any special technique in use. But now I see that it is, after reading it again for your lack of providing the name. So that was a nonviable method you subjected yourself to, it seems. My late apologies for being confused.]
I apologize of that's complicated or confusing. The question is essentially, how do you note the real one when faced with two entities simultaneously? [Redera: Addressed this already.] In this instance, Pesquia is not a viable solution so not a good answer. While the character may not possibly be immediately aware of this, as the user you would be, and that is that my/Caelum's spiritual force is completely surrounding Castaeva (as well as the other). This was directly stated. This is effectively wipes out my/His discernible spirit sense. Frankly, trying to use Pesquia would confuse the brain as it would feel as though I/He is all around the user. *This* is stated in my profile. This should be taken into account.
[If that were true, the first thing you should have done was provide a url link to the exact post, and state the technique's name in fairness to prove your point: because throughout your post, I have not seen even a subtle mention of this unnamed that can warp around logic to wipe out your own character's spirit sense, and yet not say it would affect mine?
Can you see by how not providing the name at least within your post, it could cause such an unwanted level of confusion? Please be sure to properly reference your techniques next time for the sake of smoother combat. I would appreciate it. ] The next thing for me to address would be the reactionary time which ties into the discerning of location and successive Cero. -Cero: Indeed Cero *can* be fired rather quickly, but not instantaneously.
[Redera: In this case, did I even have to fire it? Using the 'if' it hits him clause, I don't even have to shoot it off. Why? Because your character chose to appear before Castaeva at point blank, nearly impossible to avoid range, with his limb ready to be dressed in that cero (and I argued the perquisa situation above, as to why she could still react to it accordingly and sense it above all else). The limb he had utilized will have no choice but to eat the cero in it's form the way he was left if nothing wiser is done about it. ] Presently, the only person capable of doing so is Myself as it is a custom technique with that being the focus. Furthermore, not everyone can fire their Cero quickly. [Redera: Cero's do indeed take time to charge but releasing it can occur in two seconds varying among espadas anyway. But let's not fall under the assumption that cero's take so long.] But let's give this the benefit of the doubt. Let's say she can. With the speed at which I'm/He's moving, and there is not that much distance to cross, how does Castaeva manage to both turn or point her Cero firing appendage, charge, then release her Cero in time to potentially strike her opponent? [Redera: With the speed Castaeva in terms of Sonido (which by the way is not limited on different planes as the Air dash is in one vertical plane) in rival to his, she can react to it accordingly. Already addressed. ]And do so without blasting Ariana at the same time. =w= Now, it could be that the Cero is being prepped in this post to fire after my attack. If that's the case, that's fine!; it's smart and it makes sense. [Redera: Sense to you? Then this is where I agree to disagree, because if it has to make sense for the both of us (which matters the most), I am going to say:: It will probably have to blast Ariana then, with Caelum and Castaeva dancing in the igniting explosion that your destructive leg should sweep at the cero that is ready but not fired. ]
Furthermore I must make you take into consideration that Castaeva is supposedly, in her "very perceptive nature" (just going to go ahead and assume she is so) studying His actions. You must now account for the time it takes for her to perceive and process the approach as well as the potential strength behind the attack coming. [Redera: I would say that this was very amusing but I'm not amused. I say this because it's odd how your words contradicted the others since several paragraphs above you stated that you'll overlook it since she has guild history to prove it. But guild history is nothing in comparison to the immediate.* Did I ever once say that she thoroughly understood him? She is studying him. Currently. Now. At the moment. Your statement of the obvious can only be truer: it does indeed take time. And time she will have, in this battle that is still in it's infant stage. Therefore, your personal advice and or method, on enemy observation, falls on heedless ears, my dear Captain.] But to know the attack is coming she'd have to see it, and this requires to wait even longer, even if only milliseconds more. [That's like saying you can only see your dog once he's ontop of you, slobbering at your face after successfully tackling you down. If you can keep up with his speed (which she can and has), observing things as it presently occurs especially at close range, then it's plausible. ] But milliseconds are precious now in the defense of a comrade. You now must see the attack coming and possess the time and speed to react to it. And the attacking coming, or intended to come, behind her back.... [Redera: Did you think that Castaeva was going to keep defending the others and that Ariana needed to be defended again? The first one was a freebie. These fighters can fight fairly on their own. So let's not get into the habit of assuming things so often.
But well said! Milliseconds are indeed precious. Time always is. Yet you seem to be almost abundant with time with how much your character, with the same speed ratio as mine, to be appearing in not just two but three directional appearances at a time (not including after images), whereas my only stance was stationary and was able to pinpiont where His Sovereign was moving in on to react. ]
OHHH YES! And something I don't want you to change (because this actually works in the story and for your character), while it should certainly be perceived so by Castaeva, Sonido was not used... ; ) This is significant for the character and the battle because Castaeva, despite being portrayed to have unbelievable perceptive skills (even tending into things that aren't being provided substantial outright evidence to suggest), mistook the great speed for Sonido when it was not so. [Redera: Forgive me for stating my opinion on this: But I do sense some warped sense of humor even in that crooked smiley, perhaps closest sarcasm, which I do not appreciate. But like you already, I will not mind it, because it is difficult to discern inflection in texts. Wouldn't you agree?]
This, for the sake of a good fair fight, means there is room for surprise and every bit legitimate ability to impress, even the aged and experienced former ruler. Let us not be too stoic or stale with one another, yes? After all, the reality is, Castaeva hasn't truly weakened, in the grand scheme of things, in the realm of Hollows, she's been Surpassed. This is supposed to be, then, (unless she met Maeve) the first time she's come across another Hollow being more powerful than herself. In this case, we must also keep true to her history.
[Redera: Contradictory to the fact that your afterimages do not constitute as surprised based attacks? No room for surprise? So if you hadn't brought up this entire discussion, lol then we probably wouldn't have you giving us new guidelines now on taking out 'elements' of a fight, wouldn't we? I'm not here to rp based on your standards or your guidelines. Without even realizing it, you are asserting a structure for my character to fall under simply because it doesn't agree with how you see things. I've been patient about it for quite some time, but I'm now relieved beyond words for you to bring that out in the light now.]
So many things to keep in mind all at once~. *Sigh* I know. Redera Issun: Being a mod in other guilds as well as experiencing different pressures as both a member and a mod's standpoint, I do well to keep certain things in mind, and other needless points out. This much is substantial enough but not very overwhelming for me to handle for I do moderate in dozens of other guilds and having dealt and helped with others more difficult. So please, if you have any other concerns, do say so. I enjoy conversations more than confrontations.
I've said it once before and I shall say it again, Redera-san, you are one fine woman.
Despite the multiple contests (it would seem by your reasoning I've not one single victory; truly a shame. Not a valid point yet ) I am not offended, angered, or otherwise displeased. Quite the contrary, I'm rather pleased. You've handled yourself excellently. This isn't to say I disagree, I do, with a number of points, but I can appreciate the whole thing all the same. I also appreciate the logic, and most of all that you gave it the time of day to address, and each point in turn. Damn right, woman, and good on you. If you feel you're in the right, stick to it! But kudos aside....
Firstly (starting with Negaccion comment moving down), your point against me could be used against you as well, as it doesn't state it can be used on oneself. It does however state that it can be used on allies. This was the basis of my argument. I went on to make further argument on side of "fair play" as a Mod, who has also been a Mod in a number of other guilds, and as the VC of this one. Now, I'm not trying to pull rank, but I am stating that it very well would not be acceptable if all Arrancar could do this (to themselves). This is an ability that negates even captain level attacks and above. Your own use proves its effectiveness, taking a kick from my character and a powered Cero. But I think this issue is perhaps best dropped.
Secondly, I can only speak on what you provide. So, to your first point I could not say that Castaeva as a character is so. Who is to say she's, as a character, so physically skilled and experienced, dealing with such supernatural matters for such a time? To answer my own question: YOU! I concede that as the creator, of course you are the one to say so and I dare so perhaps only you can. But we go by only what we know and what we are presented with. And Here, you present us with a known established history. This is what drove my comment.
Thirdly. That point, how I want to say it's valid...but it's not exactly. It does not help that this seems to be addressed prematurely as this was taken a little out of context to respond to. But let's drop the spiritual sensing thing. Actually, let's not. You imply (by my reasoning at least) this her ability to sense energy overrides her brains visual perception of reality. If this were the case, she'd be ********. XD But I know it's not, so that means she's processing both pieces of the information, the visual and the spiritual sense (or lack thereof). So my question would have remained, how does she see this, but feel that, at essentially the exact same time, and react accordingly? This is furthered by my reasoning of "If he actually was on one side, wouldn't that mean there's something to sense there *before* he switches sides for there to be something to sense elsewhere?" And I have to admit, I'm mulling over in my head "Why are we doing this? It's not like she's about to take a hit. Hell, it isn't even like I can't get out of one myself!" But, I suppose I'm enjoying the battle of wits and conversation, so I'm going to go ahead and continue to humour and entertain this.
Thirdly(b), I can see where you're coming from. I don't mean to state it as though this is definitely how she's seeing it. I'm working off of logic and reason, being all that I've got and a plane I assume the person I'm speaking to can relate and understand me on. SO, assuming that, as a person with fully functioning senses, Castaeva can see as any other can, I deduced that she *should* (and perhaps that was the key word missing) have been able to see something come towards her, pivot and swing left around her, before "feeling" that said individual had suddenly "jumped" to being on her opposite side and continue on. It doesn't sound like a concrete question because that was not the focus of the question. It wasn't so much her senses as how she reacted to them.
Thirdly(c), is again addressed prematurely. And I can begin to see why. First, you were under the misconception that I'd used a technique. I had not. I had no need to. This is a direct side effect of the Nature of his reiatsu. It is dense, it is thick, it is all consuming. This means, as I did very much state in my very last post, it surrounds one. The one thing I did forget to put in said post is that it would rob one of their ability to accurately discern his location via spiritual sense. That would have been important information for the user. My apologies. If for nothing else than the inconvenience. Is it in my profile, Yes. Did I state it so you wouldn't have to go looking for it? No. Sorry about that. =( Were I using a technique, I would have included its name, bolded or underlined, and provided a description in a Spoiler down below and will do so in the future. ^_^ So now you know for future if you're unsure (that way you can call me on it). And that last portion of your statement...didn't make sense to me {{the one about I should have included a url link}}
(That tech really isn't much of a tech anyway...Hell, numerous individuals in the series have exhibited similar or the same effects without need of it being "special". It's just control. Aizen did it, Gin did it, Yamamoto did it, Kenpachi did it, the list goes on~)
Fourth, Yes. To answer the very direct first question, Yes, you would. I've done my fair share of assuming (because I "assume" --there's that word again!-- that you're using common sense, and I'm sure you are) but this time you are the one making assumptions. I did not state I was directly, point blank in front of her. If I were to get that close I might as well have punched her myself. And if I had, the Cero wouldn't have stopped it, I'm that close. So you assume that I'm at point blank range. But before even the firing is the prep. You address the prep as though it happens as soon as Caelum moves, this implies her intention was to blast him from the get-go. That's all good an well, sure, *if it weren't explained and addressed after that of of the punch and its capabilities*. But in case I got that wrong, I know for certain it does come after he's all up in her face (as you've perceived it) and that means then, by how it's presented, that she moved to aim after he was already upon her. And THIS I get from the mini paragraph before it stating that she studied him (something could happen after/when he's given her something to study) and his, at that moment, undemonstrated capabilities. This I can counter by saying "but then he moved. Twice!". And the question again becomes "So where does she shoot? How does she *know* where to shoot?" Which is why I addressed it as her following his movements to try to intercept him after he gets past her to attack Ari. Why? because this offers least chance (in my head) of miss or failure. And since Castaeva is so seasoned, I actually credit her with this supposition/by placing her in this position by indirectly saying "She wouldn't be fooled by that, she's watching me. She caught on quick, whipped around, and is trying ta blast mah b***h a**. Ahhh s**t." But before I outright assume all the way that she kept up, turned round, somehow managed to prep and fire a Cero (would have been easier to go with a Bala...) I addressed my concern and asked.
Fourth(b), No limb. I'm not trying to punch Castaeva, I'm trying punch Ari. Which means I'm putting nothing up in Castaeva's face or immediate "I'mma blow it off!" range. Moreover, an unfired Cero does nothing. An unfired Cero is but a sphere of coalesced reiryoku to be fired. Which is how others can slice through them or grasp them without injury before their release. You have to prep a bomb before you arm it. And I can't run into an unfired bullet. Same philosophy. While we're at it, let's tie it into the next point about Cero charge-fire time. Counting "1, 2" doesn't take long. That's actually very speedy. And I don't mean the sort of "1 Mississippi 2 (Mississippi)" counting. Just 1..2..And that's among the faster sorts. They fire and travel quickly too, but if it took less than two seconds, with two seconds being long, that nears on instantaneous.
Fifth, you're very right. Castaeva does have the speed. I can't, shan't contest it. But reaction time and speed are different matters. I can be slow to react but extremely quick to do. The former lies in the brain and in physical reflexive conditioning. This is something that is touched upon with the DC character Deathstroke. Inhuman reflexes allow him to "outreact" even some of the speediest meta-humans. Meaning, could he win the race? No. Not enough *speed*. Could he win the fight? Yes. He *acts* and *reacts* faster. Meaning he processes faster.
Sixth, again, a fair point. You're right, sense to me. But I'm not trying to work off of some convoluted sense of logic or rationality, so I'm hoping that our brains are working along similar lines here. But you're right, what important is that it makes sense to Both Parties. Not just mine. What you're trying to say after that...I don't get. I follow up until "It would probably have to blast Ariana then," because after that I've no idea what you're imagining. So maybe I'm ******** I don't even know where to go with this one. I have things to say, a few. But I dunno what to do with this one. But the one thing I agree with is "If you see a dog running, chances are you know what's coming." But I was referencing your stating that Castaeva was studying the Punch Itself and its potential. THIS, This alone, she could not know without know a PUNCH in particular was coming. She did not. Would not. Could not. Not from a forward dash. Could she observe him during, Yes. Could she act whilst observing, Yes. But you worded it as though she saw was coming and decided "Oh hell no, I'm not having that" and THEN began to act accordingly. No. No, that won't fly with me. This is why chronology matters both in action and in presentation. You do not make a future statement first (meaning you don't say "She had studied him after he began to move/ she moved to repel him) without stating that this comes Later. You said she studied him, body and movements. Past tense. And you did so before stating she began to move.
So if I think about it, if it all stems from that last bit above, my issue with the chronology of it all.
Eighth, Yes =w= I did. I hoped, at least. Hoped that she'd keep defending and or assisting the others. But I shouldn't assume too much. So I'll try not to. Because I did acknowledge that I've done a lot of this.
Ninth, (Jesus, just how long is all of this?! I need to stop typing so much...) Abundant in time in my actions? It seems you've been a bit confused. I've attacked from 1 solid direction, and am attacking 1 target. I'd draw you a diagram if I could, as I'm sure words can breed confusion in their choice. And frankly, by the speed, I'd say the whole transition takes a span of say...2.5 - 3 seconds? 5 at most. I mean, he's a fast guy and he's a strong guy. The distance could be easily cleared quickly.
Tenth, (Good God!!) No sarcasm. More like a "Whoo hoo!" because the great Castaeva saw it for something that it wasn't. I appreciate the almost "television" realness of that and the potential it held. In my head, if I animate the actions it's like Castaeva saying in her head "His Sonido is quick...He's fast" only to later realize "Wait, that wasn't his Sonido?!" Not that she'd really be that surprised. But the point was that it felt very "anime" and good story. Good writing. Because this woman is no easy person to impress or surprise! I mean, jeez. She got a vague understanding of the sort of power my guy's coming with and she's like "He's blasting crazy unimaginable (and this got me) spirit power. Whoopie." What got me is that even she could comprehend that it was so vast she couldn't imagine how vast and she's not moved. Not even a bit of respect for the fact. I was hurt. I was sitting here like "You're kidding. Nothin?" Not that I was blasting anything. I chose the word "ooze" for a reason. I was forcibly or consciously putting out *that* much. But to your question, yes, I'd agree. It is difficult indeed.
Eleventh, ...um Whut? I'm not trying to give "Guidelines" for anything. Except maybe the Negaccion thing, but that's within my rights. And actually, I'm not asserting a structure for anything. Unless reason counts, in which case...maybe. But even from that viewpoint I'm asking for nothing more than explanation, not contest, and understanding. Not to be told "You're wrong, this is why". And I do get a bit of that sense from this here. "How I see things" is as logically as I possibly can. Why? Because, we, as a whole and as a group, have no other unanimous field that we can all say we work under/understand. Logic, we can all understand (for the most part) and we all use to make our reasonings. So if my asking for something to make logical sense doesn't seem right to you... ... ...Yeahp, I got nothing. I wouldn't know what to tell you. Ask another Mod maybe? Maybe another pair of eyes is all we need.
Again, I've been a mod too, Am a mod, in other guilds, numerous others, so I'm with ya. I'm glad we're coming from similar places. I too appreciate the conversation more than confrontation, so it's exceedingly pleasing that there's no fighting or unpleasant attitudes here.

Yes, I realize I may have lapsed in some area or another, made typos, or have been confusing. If so and where applicable, I apologize. It's after 1 in the morning, and I'm tired. = 3= (=w=) Please ask for clarification when and where needed.
