He should be, but he isn't.

Likewise, but like me you should be grateful >.> When I saw that my backhand went through your flames and cracked you in the skull I was worried you were gonna DQ me for killing my opponent... Still, I like that we're ending fast enough to see the ENTIRE other match...

Another problem? I read the fight thus far. What's the issue?

I figured. Basically, this calls for a referee.

As you know from my profile, I'm being considerate to her here... Should I simply let Thoma die? I mean, even though I think I reacted fast enough she does mention skin boiling... >.>

nvm

Oh wait, hold up hold up.

The spears are bombarding them, too?

Okay, this changes things.

Edit: Nevermind, continue on. I'll make a post after you two do.

The spears can bombard him from the back, yeah.

To be fair, just because I don't feel like wasting words doesn't necessarily mean I'm not trying or wasting your time. If you want to talk about efficiency, you learn just as much about character if not more from my few words as your many. The primary difference is that you set up your character to have an early disadvantage which of course isn't going to actually be played through.


Or I set myself up to get a better grade. I believe one of the categories is originality. I found the post amusing, and that was it's primary purpose.

I'd rather not bore people with something that's hard to read in a vain attempt to be flowery.


Your intro post in your last fight was five times longer than the one you left for me. This is a boldfaced lie.

Quote:
I'd suggest you just roll with it instead of complaining. I mean, you're asking me to be patient with you already, right? I could very well say that if you're so busy that you can't even post regularly but still insist on trying to ride this out then you are being rude and wasting my time too. I mean, I at least have the courtesy to still post when I don't really feel like it and when I'm really tired to at least give you something. You're not the only person who has a demanding schedule.


At least I care, and that's the important thing. If you don't even give two shits, then why are you still fighting anyway? You can't even claim that you have a busy shedual is what's stopping you when you've said outright you don't care. What's worse is that this vary post I am responding to is longer than the one I'm asking you to change, implying that you care enough to enrage me, but not enough to treat me like a real opponent.

Quote:
But I'm not that petty.


See above statement.
Boldfaced lie.

Quote:
But if you want to really get on the subject of what's fair, rude, and so on...

The fact that we had to wait on you for the round to begin was a waste of my time.


I see no reason you couldn't have posted first. Hell, if you really wanted to defeat me, you should have posted first and hoped I timed out due to my as previously stated busy schedule.
I ask again, why are you still fighting when it is so obvious you want out?

Quote:
The fact that even though the rest of us posted our upgrades, as we were supposed to, in the thread, you didn't. While I understand you think there's a tactical advantage to keeping everything a secret, it's simply appalling that you think you're above everyone else in this respect.


I see no reason why you didn't PM them to Vin yourself if you wanted the same treatment. I did it mostly to save time, as the back and forth between us went much faster through PM, if you'd like to know what I have received, then simply ask. Don't be a petty and jelous d**k about it because you whern't smart enough to ask for the same.

Quote:
So, I give you the options now. If you don't like how I write then forfeit or bring it to the attention of Vintrict. Why? Because so far, as per my grades, my writing has been clear enough to read and my roleplaying has been sufficient. It's not my responsibility to cater to your personal tastes.


So far you've been respectful to your opponents, and given them solid posts to work with. What you've done to me, is utterly disrespectful and nothing to work with. Sure I can shine on my own, but it's not really a fight then. I'm not asking for special treatment from you, or you to cater to my personal tastes, but for you to do the same s**t you've done for your last challengers.

If you can't manage that, then why are you still fighting, I ask again.

Sure I'll still post for you, as Vin obviously has no problems with you putting nails in your own coffin. But if I get this treatment again, I could in theory simply stop posting and win by simple RPing prowess alone and not have to bother with your rudeness. It'd be easier on me, and you wouldn't have to bother with something that you so clearly hate, win win.

.... Or, you know, you could just forfeit and save us all the trouble.

If your plan is to throw a tantrum and stop posting because I'm not typing more than what I really need to to play my character then you've got problems.

Of course you found the post amusing, you wrote it. I found it dull and redundant. Just saying,

My previous fights? All of those took a minimalist approach as well. But you know what, it's actually harder to fit the same s**t into a smaller package.

Right, I don't care if I win or lose. So why am I still here? Because I made a commitment to be here, which does mean something to me. So instead of finding excuses and making threats to not even participate, I bite the bullet and still post.

I'm not changing my post. If you don't like it, you can choose to not post at all. There's a difference between me saying I don't care and you purposefully not posting because you're being a spoiled brat, and I'm sure Vin is capable of making a sound judgment that that kind of behavior is well, stupid.

Why didn't I post first? I wanted to see how long it'd take you to even get started. I knew I was going to be here. See, I don't have to worry about you timing out or anything, it's not that important to me. I know what makes for good writing and good storytelling, and I'm telling you now, your approach isn't it.

Why didn't I PM it to him? Because the instructions clearly said to post it in the thread. It doesn't matter to me enough to need to ask, it's not like knowing would be of any benefit to me. I mean, sure I guess maybe I'm one of the very few people who doesn't "metagame"(seriously, I walk into traps when I'm told they're traps; which gives me huge RP points all around).

But don't lie to yourself and act like sending a PM was faster. If it were so simple as you had suggested, posting it in the thread to begin with instead of asking if you could PM it would have sped up the process. PMs aren't received any faster than forum posts. How exactly was it any faster at all, especially when we started late anyway because of that? Text limit? Yeeeah.

Nothing to work with?

I told you where my character is standing and what he's wearing. Yeah, that's all you need to know right now. I didn't do anything else. You're just being a whiny b***h now. You have PLENTY to work with. If you can't work with knowing where someone standing around doing nothing across from you then you should probably find another game to play.

What I like most though is that you had enough time to make a long-winded post in the OOC, with formatting, but couldn't write an IC post for me to respond to before bed time.

All I hear is excuses and lies. I won't repeat myself because all you're doing is playing some apologetic game, trying to justify your obviously wrong actions. It's not even working because most of your logic contradicts itself.

Especially since I just threw up a post for you. Now quit your bitching and post up your two lines.

I told you Monday is my day off. I might even get up another post tonight if you take an equal amount of time you took for your last post.

Hey, hey, no arguments here.

Just post and try to make a fight.
PostPosted: Sun Mar 11, 2012 8:55 pm


Guys! I worked good and god damn hard to be the person everyone wants to see beaten, I don't want that to slip out from under me because of something as petty as feeling 'disrespected'. I mean really ><

Yes, I'm obviously in the wrong for writing in a way that I feel comfortable writing.

Yeah, totally wrong there.

I'll be sure in my next post to churn out 2,000 words for how I'm just standing there doing nothing still.

Is someone on their period or what?
