Now I'm about to sound old. Waring for anyone who doesn't understand

I remeber when gaia was a rp site. And a very cool one. And I mean it FOCUSED on rping. The front page wasn't flashy but cute and it said "Role play comunty, join" and there were sooo many good rps. I remeber how much fun it was and as soon as they swiched to this crap..it just went down hill. It's not for rping really anymore it's a "Buy this, sell that, get gold take our cash" place.

Gaia, you sold out. You took something great and made it into crap. And one day I will leave you like everyone else and you will go "******** what were we thinking" hopefuly.

To_42, Soon after making this guild I saw that a lot more. I even thought about how this guild could get big and fix Barton town. But not to exclude the new or more casual RPers, but to have some RPs in all skill levels. And be okay with people that weren't as serious, or wanted to be good and in a good RP without writing a novella per post. Something for everyone and a LOT nicer.
Being nice takes a lot of effort though...

I gotta story! And rummaged through old OOC posts for textual evidence! 8]

To set it up for you, I made an advanced literate Greek Gods/Goddesses role-play. Huge role-play, lots of text to read on the front page. I was assuming this would discourage anyone who wasn't completely serious. But that was just putting too much faith in the notion of people actually reading the front page. <_<
Some guy applies with a character that looks like he's right out of a kind of lousy video game on the subject- and this is meant to be a fairly realistic approach to the Greek legends.
His character was some beastly warrior guy who didn't wear a shirt. Ever.
I mean, it's sometimes understandable to not be wearing a shirt [IE- it's frigging hot outside] but all the time, no shirt?
It was unsuitable. In reality, very few people go around constantly without a shirt on. [See: Randy, from TPB.]
And those who do are generally kind of trashy, possibly overweight. [Again, Randy.]
So, that was immediately a concern of mine. Also, he was a demigod, had the name of another Greek God for no apparent reason, and abused that all too common, anime/video-game inspired backstory that involves a weapon that drains his life if he doesn't satisfy it with blood.
He was also on a quest to slaughter my character [Ares, god of war] for killing his mother, I think?
Not that I put it beyond Ares to kill innocent women, but he might have consulted me.

Anyway, all together, he didn't suit the role-play. His character's appearance was too much inspired by modern medias, and even his writing style seemed ill-suited to an advanced literate Greek Mythology role-play. I declined him.

This is where it gets fun.

Here is the actual PM conversation that transpired:

Rabscuttle

Thank you for your application and your interest! However, I don't think you're entirely what we're looking for. I hope you won't be too discouraged, its an advanced role-play and I'm being unfairly elitist about who gets accepted.
Thanks again for applying, I appreciate it.


I can admit that this was somewhat unwise. See, the "unfairly elitist" comment was a dose of my typical dry humor. What I was hoping is that he would laugh, or feel that he was being cut not because of any fault of his own, but because I was applying an impossibly high standard. Boy, that joke went well. Keep reading.

Arrogant cry baby

Um... You're being elitist and you don't want to allow me in? I only RP literate RPs, and I spent a lot of time creating this character. I am just wondering, what on earth would make you decide I'm unworthy to be in your RP. If you where being Elitist, I would be accepted, not rejected.
Oh, and By the way, I'm not discouraged, I'm offended. I've never been rejected because I wasn't good enough to RP with someone. Who do you think you are?



Rabscuttle


Firstly, I was polite about my rejection, why you're offended and even bother to respond to this message in such a confrontational manner is baffling to me.
Secondly, I have every right to reject anyone I want, based on any single reason in the world.
Were you atrociously bad? No. But your character and the way you write [I did skim through your forum posts through your profile] doesn't suit the environment and the style of the role-play I've created. Its as simple as that, and I need no other grounds to turn anyone down from my role-play. Sorry you've taken this in such a bad way, but clearly if you're so horrified at being rejected, a little bit of a reality check can only help you.


Arrogant cry baby


Ya know, I'm not questioning your right to reject me, just the way you phrased it. You obviously don't know much about dealing with people. I simply don't like being brushed off as inferior, especially by someone who isn't all that great a writer herself. I don't claim to be the best writer ever(I'd have to give that one to Stephen King), but I am by no means a bad one either.
And yeah, I'm being confrontational, wouldn't you be if you'd be concisely told that you're not good enough after you worked for two days on researching names and thinking up a descent character persona?
Once again, I don't see where you get off trying to tell me that I'm not "Elite" enough for you when all the people you have on your RP are no better RPers then me, if they even have half the skill that I do.
And as for my writing style, it changes with the character. I write in a way that reflects the nature of my character. For instance, I'm not going to go on about the landscape if I'm in a character that wouldn't be paying that much attention to it, but I would if the character I'm playing was, say, an artist or a bard who thinks that way.
But why am I arguing with you? You're a Jerk, and I've got no more time to spend trying to decipher why you're such an a** to people.


So, to cover all the bases. I jokingly said I was being an elitist, thanked him for his application multiple times and politely declined.

He initiated an argument in which he insulted my writing, called me a girl [seriously, wtf.] claimed that Stephen King was the best writer in the world, declared that all of my role-players [an extremely literate and well-learned bunch] did not have even half of his skill, told me I was an a** hole, and that I obviously "don't know much about dealing with people."

The lesson to be learned here? Don't be friendly, polite, and humorous with your rejections of profiles. Respond with a quick, blunt, "YOU ARE ******** REJECTED."

P.S. no, no, don't, that would be bad.u_u The real lesson is just, don't be humorous with your rejections, ever. xD

Reminds me when a guy got huffy because he was trying to join GAW (an rp of mine) and I asked him for an rp sample. xD
I'm sorry your character was an anime knockoff, I'm really, really sorry. xDDD

How can you like it if you haven't read it? xDD

Just take it two sentences at a time, Wynaro. I promise your brain won't explode. biggrin

Veste- Yeah, people can be pretty ludicrous. I've been asked for role-play samples all the time. It's basically the safest way to screen potential members, it's silly to be upset about it. >.>

Man, If I was any meaner, I would show you that profile.
Who am I kidding?

I AM THAT MEAN.

[goes to find it]
PostPosted: Tue Jun 30, 2009 12:23 pm


xD Haha, well, I'm glad.

I figure if you're going to be yelled at anyway, you might as well earn it.

Haahar, go for it, Veste. As long as you omit the screen name, I'm sure it's no big deal. Nothing we haven't all seen before.

Yeah, yeah, omit
Played by: OMIT

Character Name: Shikigami_REVENGE_02 (Angeli lu'Paxenol-Seljnoeux)



Age: 309 (Appears 14-15)
Team [TBA]
Vehicle N/A
Gender: Male
Race: Seraphians -

+ A long lived race of total pacifists known for their contributions of life support technology for deep space travel in explorer crafts. The Seraphin's have a very feudalistic society where only those of noble birth may leave their home world.

+Hollow bones make the Seraphian's very delicate and sensitive to high gravity, because they're breakable, Seraphian's cannot participate in military combat or any form of racing that may result in them getting injured from impact.

+Seraphian are easily spotted because of their gawdy fashion sense. They particularly looove to backpacks and shoulder harnesses with feathered wings on them, and headbands with hallows or antennas.

Class: Mechanic/AI Programmer

Personality: Shikigami is a loud, abrasive little punk that would probably have been beaten to death because of his running mouth if he wasn't so useful with his AI skills. He's cheerful and friendly. Long periods of silence makes him anxious and he couldn't shut up if his life depended on it. He tends to "nerd out" around new technology.

Weapons/abilities:

+ 25 Years Experience in Salvaging
+ 108 Years Experience in AI Programming and Computer Languages
+ 14 Years Experience as a Mechanic for a Mobile Suit Shipyard
+ 3 Years Experience as Mobile Suit Pilot

Appearance: Like most Seraphian, Shikigami is short and slight. He stands at about 5'1 and is often mistaken for a child. By his race's standards, he is not quite an adult. He has long neon red hair that is worn down to his knees and kept in a thick braid that can be used as a pull-y rope. He has large purple eyes and usually sports a maniac smile on his heart-shaped face. He has a scar on his throat from a crushing accident that makes his voice a bit scratchy. He has light purple triangle tattoos on the top of each cheek, showing that he is from the Seraphian House of Seljnoeux.

Bio

Shikigami_REVENGE_02 current alias and user name for most electronic applications.

Born to the House of Paxenol and Seljnoeux, Shikigami (as he introduces himself this decade) was the second born son to two very wealthy Seraphian Lords that built an empire from the production and monopoly of energy cells used in specialized life support domes. At the young age of 208, Shikigami ran off and joined a crew of space pirates. Because he was a brat. He was kept on-and-off as a hostage (he kept finding them again after his family bought him back) for 50 years until the ship was taken repossessed by the federation.

Shikigami spent another hundred years digging out space wreckage for a shipyard crew, where he learned a lot about mechanics, repair, and mobile suit construction. The colony he lived on designed humanoid mobile suits for combat and despite the fact that it was dangerous for him, Shikigami spent a lot of time joy riding in them. After his human friends died of old age, Shikigami left the shipyard with a small fortune and went on to his next adventure! Being a mechanic for Le Lapin De Lune!


Other:

+ Shikigami still has a nice bounty on his head because his family wants him back.

+ Shikigami clothes are as obnoxious as his personality. Right now he's into Desert Punk fashion and dresses like he's about to cross the Sahara: knitted lower face mask, black bug-eyed goggles, baggy knitted cap, over sized baggy jacket. He also likes to dress in loud colored clothes with dinky Seraphian angel wing backpacks.
