Hello! =D
As I looked around the guild, I noticed this wonderful gem of a subforum, and why, I just had to share me and Serendipity Coma (whom I've known for over 7 years D< Even though neither of us realized it until 2 years ago) adventures! Therefor, I decided to make this little thread. A thread that shall be called....The Trial and Tribulations of Zemblanity and Serendipity
or; how four Gaian gained brain aneurysm and tried to commit suicide by repeatedly bashing their heads against their keyboard when faced with the stupidity of the people surrounding them. But first, some background, shall we? =D
I joined Gaia on my 15th birthday, which was back in 2004. I was an extreme n00b and weaboos =D Therefore, I mainly talked with fellow crappy people! I did get better slowly but surely and then started to RP and fun stuff like that. After a while, I became an average RPer who was in average RP and met average people. I was mainly hanging around Harvest Moon roleplay, owned a HM guild and was VC of another.
Then, back in 2007 I had to take a hiatus of Gaia because real life was kicking me in nuts. Three years later, a freshly young graduate me moved over 9hours away of where he was from, going in a city where he knew no one and was awfully broke to do anything and therefore rejoined Gaia.
This is where our story began =D
Two days after I returned on Gaia, I received an invite to join a Harvest Moon roleplay. I looked at the guild and debated on joining because of it's literacy level. It was Semi, I was usually more comfortable in Lit. Nothing wrong there. However, I then noticed that one RPer that I used to hang out with was also part of that guild, being on the crew list. This fact, and this fact alone made me do the best and worst decision of my life: I joined Peachland; a Harvest Moon Roleplay.

Now, with retrospect, I realize that there were many warning signs telling me to pack up my bags and run away as fast as I could.
Warning Sign #1: It took me a while to understand what she meant in her rules when she talked about "reporting to the caption" and "the caption has the final word". I seriously thought there was some small writing somewhere that I had to follow in order to play well in the guild and so, I started to highlight about every post in the guild to see if there were any caption hiding or something Dx.
But hey, it's okay. She wasn't stupid. She only had trouble spelling one word. I just had to remember that Caption = Captain. I could live with that.
Warning Sign #2 The fact that my illiterate unborn younger brother who doesn't speak English and doesn't exist was probably better at grammar than the guild's VC. I have never, EVER seen the VC write a SINGLE capital letter OR punctuation. Both IC and OOC. Worst than that, she had "lol" "idk" "omg" as part of her post. No, it wasn't the character saying those acronym out loud. She seriously used them in her posts as in "Michelle got up from her chair and lol she fell because she s a klutz or something idk lol". At first I thought she was a little girl. Nope, she was 26.
Warning Sign #3: While trying to familiarize myself with the guild, I looked through the various character profile. I especially tried to find that girl who was owned by the VC and whom the caption captain adored. Her name was Brittany and she had an older sister named Malia
- She and her sister were bullied at school because... well, she never gave a reason.
- Said school bullies one day entered their house and killed their parents, strangle her cats, raped her sister, forced her to watch said-rape happen then burned her eyes in order to make sure that it was the last thing she saw.
- She couldn't return to school because PEOPLE WERE MOCKING HER AND HER SISTER FOR HAVING BEEN RAPE.
- They moved to Peachland, where the RP happened.
- Malia became a dominatrix, don't ask me.
- Rapist found their way into town because raping her sister and blinding her was not enough and attacked them in their house and bounded them on chair/bed for I dunno how long until a police officer came in and they disappeared and kept sending them threat through mails just cause.
- Brittany found love the next day and became extremely happy and cheery and forgot all about her previous misadventure.
Actually, here's a direct quote from the profile =D
"after being forced into sex by jimmy as frank held her down they made kina watch and brittany watch after wards they tortured and burned brittany's eye's till she was blind and malia became a house mother working on college courses online part time since she couldnt finish high school due to rumor's but over all she is a loving cheerful girl she also wishes to write childrens stories and help victims of abuse and such also "
Warning Sign #4: The day I joined, both the captain and the VC made new characters that were strangly the exact type of people the characters I had made would have liked if one was to go by their profile alone.
Yet, with all those warning signs, I stayed. I stayed because Serendipity Coma and 2 other fun people where there. I thought everythign would be okay. That I could ignore the Captain and the VC. That I could have fun and nothign bad would ever happen.
I was wrong.

The captain and the VC were crap RPer. That much was clear. However, how horrible they were only became clear when I started to talk with serendipity coma.
She would be better at telling this story, but hey, she's sleeping so I'll be doing it!
There was a rule in the guild that you needed permission to have more than 4 characters unless you had the captain's permission. That was alright, lot of RP have a limitation. However, when or how you were allowed to have more characters wasn't stated anywhere. You would ask her and she'd say yes or no without telling you why. It was hard to know why some active and good RPer were not allowed to have them, while others, less active and less good were.
It became all clear when Serend asked her to make a 5th one. What you had to do, was having your characters get pregnant. The more babies you had, the more characters you were allowed to have. Serend had 4 characters: A 9 year old boy, a catholic school teacher, a prude police woman and a gay guy.
NONE of them were baby-material. Yet, the captain just didn't want to budge. If she wanted more character she had to either get one of her girls pregnant or have her 9 year old or her gay bang a woman.
You think a 9 year old getting it down in a RP is creepy? I'll come back on that later.
So, she (serend) forced herself and made her school teacher get into a relationship, get married and started to pop babies.
Angel (the guild captain) was not happy. She didn't understand why Cliona, the school teacher, was the one in a relation when she (Angel) had been throwing her male character (also named angel) at Serend's police officer for weeks. She then changed her rules. Serend had to get them BOTH pregnant.
So serend threw her policewoman at someone else 8D
And then Angel threw one of her girl at the same guy, making him cheat, making Serend's policewoman be angry at him and then Angel just started to stir Serend into having her character get with her character that was also named Angel o-o.
You'd think that everything would have been good after that, right?
Nope.
Angel DEMANDED that BOTH of serend's baby be blonde. They were not allowed to be brunette or redhead. Then, she started to give serend baby names to call them. Serend was all
"Oh, it's okay. I already decided! The girl will be called Mimi and - "
"You can't."
"Why not? D8"
"I'm cosplaying as Mimi from Digimon. You can't have a kid called that. It would be weird "
"O-o but -"
"I'm the caption. I decide."
"...okay o-o."

Now, let's go back to the creepiness of having a 10 year old have sex.
The VC had that character named Brent who was younger than Conor (the 10year old) and was OBSESSED with sex, because he had been sold by his parents to be a sex slave or something. So, that 9 year old actually tried to have sex with Serend's 10 year old. Serend, like any normal human being came to see me all "OMG YOU MAKE A CHILD CHARACTER TOO SO I CAN ROLEPLAY WITH YOU AND NOT GET MY BABY TOUCHED BY THAT PSYCHO BOY".
And so I did. I made a 11 year old who was all "I'm a MAN. I can do what I want - oh candies =D" named Keith and he started to befriend Conor, who stopped spending time with Brent.
The VC was not happy and neither was the captain. Angel said, and I quote "I don't see why Conor wouldn't want to be friend with Brent. He's one of the most realistic kid I've seen in any RP". and so decided to "punish" us by sending "acts of gods" in the way of our two kids. What kind of acts of gods, might you ask? THEY GOT TRAMPLED BY A HORSE. Just like that, without warning. Me and Serend were RPing them talking about getting tattoos because "tattoos are cool", I went to bed, woke up the next morning to them being crushed by the horse.
After a whole day or arguing with Angel, she finally decided to edit her post so the horse had only wounded them and not killed them.
I reluctantly agreed to it and made Keith's mother demand that the horse (who was pregnant 9w9) be put down and other characters agreed to it, because it was a dangerous horse.
Angel went batshit crazy =D
She thew that fuss in OOC about us not being allowed to do that because "it's my character horse and it's pregnant and the foal is supposed to be a gift for my character baby and if the baby can't have it then my character will be sad and it will ruin everyone one of my plans and it'll make me cry and so you can't kill her or I'm banning you all."
We rolled our eyes and/or headdesk and ignored it.

SO, I had an hour or two alone and figured out my internet, so I typed up this rant and decided to post it. =w= ...I'm not as awesome as you all are at ranting, but, eh. D< LONE WANTED ME TO DO IT.
...EDIT :: Lone = Zemblanity. ;w;
----
You know, I tried doing this all in chronological order, but, I really can't. There was so much and it's difficult to really tell when some things happened – it was a whole lot of small things that just gradually built up. I'll do this by character before I get into the users themselves. =D
Romane and Kade were probably the biggest victims as far as my characters went – Conor was too young and, outside of Brent and the horse, there wasn't anything really BAD about what happened to him. Granted, rapist 9 year old is probably pretty horrible as far as Rping goes, but, hey, I was a very patient person. =D I HAD to be with someone who Rped like..The One okay cause if his dad breaks outta prison again and knows he's in daycare while i work he'll come here to kill him "she remarks shaken as she signs the paper work " john momma loves you and the stars and clouds guide you i gotta work now "She replies before picking up and kissing the toddler and handing him to abigail " i should be back in a few hours "she adds.
Of course, Jasmine got pregnant, blah blah, I sorta learned to tune their antics out after awhile.
As for Cliona, Conor's foster parent, she was pretty safe too. I suspect this is because I didn't resist Angel's attempts to woo her – because I had only JUST joined the guild and didn't realize how much of a mistake letting Angel have one of my characters was. It wasn't any situation in particular, really – outside of Angel basically forcing me to impregnate the woman, there was little to complain about. Just...... Angel was a dreadfully boring Rper. I know this is a horrible excuse, but.. seriously. She one lined constantly. Her posts, unless they had to do with a time skip or talking about her own character's past, were basically just, “He sat down.” I couldn't post Cliona anywhere without Raleigh – the guy she ended up dating – popping up too and it didn't make sense for her to ignore him. Needless to say, Cliona quickly became one of the dullest and most boring characters to play in the RP. Most of all the Rps were either about Raleigh crossdressing as a child, discussing dull, wedding details, and putting Cliona down for being stupid because she liked a different library organization method than Raleigh.
Yeah.
So, Kade and Romane. Romane's is much longer, so I'll start with Kade and do hers in a later post.
Kade was a complete joke character, really. I felt like something different and energetic, so I made the most stereotypically flamboyant gay guy I could muster and threw him into the RP. Now, NOTHING happened with Kade for the first few weeks I had him in there. He ran around, painted nails, and did people's hair. This would logically be because he was basically the only gay guy in the RP – all the other males were straight or really wouldn't fit with him at all. Of course, it was probably REALLY because Kade was gay and couldn't get pregnant. It wasn't until I made a comment in ooc as a joke that anything happened. People were discussing couples and stuff in ooc and I mentioned how Kade would ask for a friend of his to play surrogate mother if he ever got serious in a relationship. Angel LOVED the idea a LOT. Shortly afterward, everyone started tossing male characters at Kade. =D THE BABY POTENTIAL MUST BE MET.
The most notable relationship was with one of Meina's – Kenrick, I believe. Kade was lonely and went to the park, bumping into him 'mysteriously' and offered a one stand. Kade agreed and then that was it. Time skip at his house, they had a short talk about flowers, and they never spoke again. Kenrick had a single run in with Kade in which he gave him a tacky kitty bracelet. A festival later, Kade bumps into Yoakim (Lone's guy =D ) who's his COMPLETE type – muscly, tall, dark, handsome, the works. Kade goes ga-ga and begs to talk to Yoakim. They exit the festival and go to get drunk at Kim's house – nothing happens, of course, because Kim's a PRUDE, but that isn't important. What was important was Kenrick lurking magically in the bushes beside where Kim and Kade were chatting.
Thus, Kenrick runs around screaming about how Kade is a WHORE and a CHEATING b*****d. Basically the whole town is, “>>” at Kade with the guy all, “D: Wut?”
Kenrick quickly finds Kade and breaks down in front of Kade about how he was SO MUCH IN LOVE with him and THEIR ONE NIGHT TOGETHER WAS THE BEST THING EVAAARRR.
Kade's made out to be the total bad guy - even in OOC (Because Meina LOVED explaining extensively how her characters were completely right and everyone else's were WRONG. I'll touch on this more later.) - and everyone comes to the comfort of Kenrick. But, a few days later and everyone forgets about it completely. The rumors are gone, people go all, “=D” at Kade again, and there's never a mention of it again ANYWHERE. Kade sorta fades into the background outside of when he's with Yoakim, now deemed as no longer 'baby material'.

...This was a lot longer than I thought it would be. 9w9
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Now, it's time to get to the segment in which we speak about ROMANE. Romane was my paranoid, OCD cop. The roleplay got absolutely insane when it came to her – READY?
Graves and Vladimir
Now, as Romane was an officer – of course she would get a partner! That partner was Frances Graves, who was nicknamed.. Angel. Like the User. Yeah. The excuse was he had a pair of giant angel wings tattooed onto his back, which was where the nickname came from – because everyone in the army (which he was.. somehow retired from at 28.) would totally give him a cool nickname as a result of those tattoos and not make fun of him! 8D Angel wings are MANLY. ...ANYWAY, so, to help me not confuse the two, Romane started calling Angel 'Graves', after his last name, and that is how I will refer to him for now on.
Romane was intended to be completely romance retarded – I never intended for her to get into a relationship from the start, only for her to be, well, a proper officer since Peachland – the town they were in – was constantly committing random crimes with no punishment, because Graves was the only officer and his father, also played by Angel, was the sheriff, so Angel got to decide what should be punished and what shouldn't. Since most of the 'criminal's were her own characters, of course absolutely nothing happened. To be frank, I was tired of Angel being the only one with any power within the guild in-RP – she owned the doctor, she owned the inn keeper, she owned the mayor, she owned the mayor of the 'other' town, she owned the sheriff, she owned.. well, yeah, she owned about everything and was in constant abuse of that. SO, Romane was thrown in to put some order in the RP.
But, despite the entire character being a romance-repellent, she still had the most romance out of any character inside the RP. Angel and another Rper, who I will safely called 'Princie' because her username has been changed since then, fell in love with her. I don't know why or how, but it happened and Vladimir + Graves were constantly being thrown at Romane until a triangle was birthed. Now, I will admit, the triangle wasn't THAT bad to begin with. Well, on Vladimir's end. Sure, he was full of drama and was an absolute slut, but he wasn't as bad as I was used to at that point – namely, Angel and Meina. Graves, on the other hand, was a handful from the start.
Graves' Punishments
The second or third day Romane was on the island, she had gone to arrest Vladimir because.. well, I can't remember exactly why. I know he did something, but that was beside the point. Vladimir was thrown in jail, Romane was proud of herself, and then Graves comes in and goes, “...WTF THAT'S MY FRIEND GET HIM OUT D8<” Because, goodness knows, someone who befriends a police officer is allowed to do whatever they want! So, Romane releases him, confused, and then she gets punished for disobeying. Does anyone want to know what Angel's version of punishment was? … emotion_awesome SEXUAL HARASSMENT. Huzzaaaah!
Basically, he handcuffed her to a pole, took off her shirt, and then left her there for five minutes. =D It was.. yeeaaah, it was pretty, “O-o” on my part, but I went along with it because, hey, Angel was a sexually harassing d**k – that was his character! So, I wasn't going to diss her at the time for just letting him be in character.
The Island
Later on, time passes, the love triangle gets more.. intense. As in, Romane's thrown back and forth between people breaking down and crying on her shoulder or attempting to force themselves on her. By this point, Romane's well on her way to a mental break down – but, she had told them both to back off and was given some time to recover! Yes, Romane had a week or two to relax and just do her job. ...OR DID SHE? Directly after Romane 'broke up' with her harassers, Graves' father caught wind of this and went, “NOOOOO.” Because he REALLY wanted his son to be with Romane – no idea WHY, but, yes. There was a short festival and Romane's job was threatened – seriously. The mayor had gone up to her and went, “Hey, either you work this out with Angel or I'll get rid of you.” Of course, Romane attempted to explain to the mayor that Graves had basically attempted to rape her twice and harassing her since she first got there, but the woman still went, “Nope. Sorry. He's a better officer, so I'd rather keep him than you.”
SO, Romane goes to beg Graves to convince the mayor to keep her job, but the guy brushes her off and says he hates her, blah blah, she hurt his feelings, la la la, and basically convinces her she has to sleep with him or else he'll make sure she's fired. Of course, Romane told him no for once and left – only to be kidnapped and dropped onto an island the very next day.
..Yeah.
Graves' father kidnapped Romane and Graves, dropped them on an island, and went, “HERE'S SOME MATCHES AND A TENT. MAKE UP OR STARVE.” Because his threat to fire her didn't work. =D There has never been a more dedicated father to get his son some tail.
Now, note that this was in the middle of winter and there were literal snipers in the trees around the shore to shoot them if they tried to swim away. But, this wasn't enough! Romane just went to her end of the island and ignored Graves completely – what she couldn't ignore was the fairies. ..Yes, FAIRIES. But not just any fairies! These were Graves' fairies!
I'll break right here and inform you about the fairies in Peachland, probably one of the most annoying things to come up in RP. At first, when the fairies popped in, we were all rather excited in OOC! The fairies were supposed to be guardians of the townspeople, so we were all theorizing on which characters would be guarded under which fairy, how we could use them in plots now that they were appearing, and other stuff. Angel came in, however, and broke up any of the member's talks, because we all had gotten the idea of guardian fairies completely wrong. They weren't there to guard the townspeople. They were there to guard Angel's characters and only her characters. Because only her characters were special enough to have their own fairies! We asked if we could have our own fairies for our characters, but it was a no because.. well, then her fairies would be less special and cool!
This isn't the first time Angel made certain she was the center of attention.
Angel's Disappearance
So, anyway, the island thing ended. The sheriff decided they were best friends again (..some..how..) and went to get them. But, Romane was still sort of freaking out over the fairies. Graves told his daddy that she was crazy and then Romane was carted off on forced leave so her insanity would go away.
Around this time, Angel, within OOC, had been telling us for weeks about how she was going to go to Japan on a trip. There was no real dates, so I assumed she was just babbling to try to show off – but, then the week had come up! Angel made an announcement that she was going to leave the very next day, but she was worried that the guild would die without her. Because we didn't know how to do a proper plot without her genius. We assured her that we would be fine and it was only a week, but she still was worried. SO, to keep us all busy, she devised this MASTERFUL plot the day before she left.
At the time, Vlad, Romane, and Graves were all at town hall for whatever reason. Vlad was having an episode in a room and Romane was failing at comforting him, which really amounted to a lot of, “OH GAWD BREATH BREATH SOMEONE HELP I'M NOT A DOCTOR D88” Graves sees this and, instead of helping, decides that Romane and Vlad were meant for eachother and he should go kill himself.
Yeah. He walked into the opposite random room, lays out every different method of suicide possible from the desk there – because people just always keep guns, pills, ropes, knives, etc, inside their office for the random suicide – and shoots himself. He leaves a note for everyone else to find, which basically was one, long whiny ramble about how everyone in the island hated him and 'good bye'.
Cue in a week of Angel (Both of them! 8D ) gone and Romane being forced into a long, wild goose chase around the town to try to find Graves' body. This was Angel's major plot that was supposed to drag the whole guild into it. Which, really, was just everyone mourning Graves and Romane running around the island looking for 'clues'.
YOU WANNA HEAR A TIP? 8D My First Tip -- If you run a roleplay and you're going to be gone for a length of time, sure, it's good to leave a plot or something for the other RPers behind to do so it doesn't die, but make sure the plot isn't only about your characters. You know, the ones that you won't be able to play, hence informing everyone of your absence? That's probably worse than just leaving without a word.
In fact, don't make a plot ONLY about your characters period. A guild-wide plot should try to involve as many as possible to do more than just to have them clap and be in awe of your character.

I'll continue this later. =w=;

It is a huge issue. I tried to help Yo (my stalker girl) set up an RP once and all her ideas for the plot basically were about her characters doing something and I kept telling her over and over again that there had to be plot for other people to get in on. And she would just be like "well....they can hang out at this bar." Because hanging out at a bar is totally a plot. emotion_awesome

Talking about the Child rape! =D
A little while later in the RP, Conor (Serend 10 years old) was in his room doing... something. I dunno. Probably reading fish magazines or lighting stuff on fire. Anyway, Meina, the VC of that guild decided to sent Brent, her 8 or 9 year old boy to a *ahem* "playdate" with Conor. Serend, in all her naivety, said yes! She could play her kid having fun like a kid would do! And Conor's mother, Cliona, was downstairs, so it wasn't like Meina would go all creepy on her, right?
Wrong.
Meina's idea of a "playdate" between two 8 to 10 year old boy was to have them watch a gay porn that Brent had stolen from his father (because the father was Graves and he was just that ******** up to watch gay porn in front of his son or something, don't ask me). Serend, acting like any sane human being did everything for it not to happen. Conor didn't want to watch a movie; he wanted to play outside, then he though that the movie sounded gross. Nothin worked and Brent still shoved the movie on and there went the XXX action. Conor was half horrified by it, but, staying in character still peeked at it. That's when Meina made Brent, which I'll remind you all was a 8 year old, decided that it was a great idea to have him MAKE A MOVE ON CONOR WHO WAS 10 IF NOT 9.
And by making a move, I don't mean making out <<.
Yeaaaaah. So, in what I'll assume was a last desesperate effort on Serend's part to save her soul, she did the one thing she could do and sent Conor's mother upstair to see that whole mess, freak out, kick Brent out and forbid Conor to ever spend time with him ever again, something that Conor was more than happy to oblige.
But that's not the worst part 8D
So, after all that had happened, Meina sent Brent back to his house where his father, Graves (played by Angel, the guild captain caption) was waiting for him. When his father asked him why he was back so soon, Brent, the f***** 8 year old replied that "Conor's mother is prude. She won't let her son have sex with me, because I'm bisexual and I know that Conor's gay and we're friend so I don't see anything wrong with it"
What was his Father's reply to that? 8D
"You're right son. There's nothing wrong with two people who like each other to have sex and it was wrong of her to kick you out because of that. But remember, you must ALWAYS use a condom. Here son, take some of my extra large because I know you'll be big ;D"
WAIT WHAT Dx
I think this marks the point were Serend, I and two other users went "Oh, ******** this s**t. We're only RPing among ourselves from now on. Creeps."

From that moment we tried our best to RP as least as possible with the captain and the VC, but it wasn't an easy task. For, you see, they had that annoying habit of shoving their characters at you at every corner. Like I said previously, the moment you made a new character, they would both make 5 more that would be more or less your new character's type and send them all at you at once. You could usually work around it, but now and then, you were trapped and had to RP with them.
And Angel, the captain, had that one annoying habit of, not only only giving you one liners, but to also sent you a PM after 5 minutes if you hadn't replied to her. See, I have a small pride and I refuse to do one liners. I will always do AT LEAST a paragraph. So, it's normal that I take more than 3minutes to reply to a post. She didn't care. By the time I was done with a reply, I usually had 3 PM waiting for me going like this: "Hey! I posted. You're turn!" "You haven't posted yet. Don't forget to do it" and "*headdesk* My god. Are you posting yet? I'm tired of waiting Dx"
CHILL OUT WOMAN IT'S ONLY BEEN 10 MINUTES D8<.
So, in a last effort to save our sanity, we (me, serend and the two other girls) decided to do something that would block Angel and Meina. A place where only our characters would interact. We would build... A *sparkle*HOSPITAL *sparkles*
Ah, yes. The village, Peachland, only had a small clinic with only 1 doctor who was too busy hating everyone to be a doctor.
Oh, let's take a moment here to talk about the Doctor (who, of course, was played by Angel) =D
He came from a long line of doctors, but what he REALLY wanted to do, was become a gardener, so he decided that, even though he had finished medschool (at like, 23, whatever), he would only tend to plants. That is until that one fateful day where a young maiden (who was totally a slut) walked by there in her short skirt and stepped on a shard of glass. The doctor helped her remove the glass from her foot and OMG EPIPHANY HIS CALLING HAD ALWAYS BEEN TO BECOME A DOCTOR.
...yeah. Let's go back to the hospital now =D
So yes, the plan was pretty simple. I had that old woman, Gladice (75~) who came from a powerful family, had a bunch of connections and, most importantly, had a daughter-in-law with even more money and more connections. Gladice hated the local doctor mainly because she was big on first impressions and decided the minute she met you if she liked you or not and the doctor had been rude to her, so, she hated him.
She was the one to come up with the idea of building a small hospital when one character got hurt and the doctor went all "Whatever. Send him to the next town over. We don't have the equipment here". Gladice was completely in shock because everyone was always hurt and there was at least three birth a day in that whoretown. So she made plans.
First, she called a good friend of her to ask him if he'd want to be in charge of the hospital. He said yes and he recruited a small group of doctor and nurses who were going to be played by Me, Serend and the two other users. There was my doctor for dealing with meds/anaesthesia, his wife as an OB/GYN and Pediatrics, a Nurse and Serend's crazy Chinese doctor for things like acupuncture and leeches and everything weird.
Second, she had to find a place for the hospital and money to fund it. It just so happened that there was an old sanatorium that wasn't used for anything but the morgue in the basement. Conveniently, the guy who was running it was Serend's so of course he was willing to give it. Then, Gladice called her powerful daughter-in-law who took no time organizing a found raiser, get the owner of the most successful business in town to invest and everything was going well.
Next step was recruiting the few health care specialist that were already in town, like a dentist, army dude who was a trauma surgeon but wasn't working an ophthalmologist, etc. It went well. Note that Gladice hadn't asked the doctor because, well, she hated him. This is where she went wrong 8D
After that, the last thing to do was to ask the Mayor (played by Angel 9w9) to lend them their mansion (yes, the town barely had a school and no health building, but the mayor had a 10 story mansion with a 3miles long courtyard with a bunch of horses) to hold the fundraiser there. What was the mayor's reply? 8D
"Sorry, I can't let you do that. I own the hospital three town west from here". Yes, the town's mayor REFUSED to have a hospital in HER TOWN because she owned on IN ANOTHER TOWN. What the heck? Dx. So, using my Gladice's logic, the old woman argued with the mayor that it was stupid and she should just say yes. After a day or arguing (literally. A real day) the mayor said yes. Then, she told Gladice "You should ask the town doctor to be part of it" and Gladice said "No, he's a p***k". From the moment on, ALL of Angel's characters (and god knows she had a ton) randomly hated Gladice. People were calling her names and stuff and EVERYONE were all "Why don't you ask our Doctor? We like him! you should ask him!" even though some of her characters had just moved in the town and had never met him. Dx
Gladice never asked him and Angel stayed bitter at me from then on =D
Then, realizing that I wouldn't ask her stupid doctor to be part of my plans, Angel and Meina asked me and Serend if they could make characters that would be part of it. I dont remember what Angel wanted, but Meina wanted a nurse. We said yes, but only because we wanted to fire their characters the first chance we would get =D. We actually had that whole plan where Cliona (who was pregger like every woman in town) would loose her baby/stillborn and all the blame would have been put on Meina's nurse for screwing up.
But Meina Screwed us up first =D
See, her character that she made was not just a nurse. She was the HEAD NURSE (even though Fanta had already reserved that position). And she wasn't just a head nurse, she was a head nurse who had an affair with my character! Without asking my permission! Of course, I went all "Oh, hell no!" and explain that my guy would never cheat on his wife with someone like her and Meina had to change it. She said yes, albeit reluctantly. Now, I though she would just remove the affair all together, but no! Instead of being the woman with whom my doctor was having an affair with, she made the nurse become the child that a previous affair my doctor had produced! =D
It took another whole day or arguing to get her to change it again -_-'
Unfortunately, we never got around to play Cliona's baby death and stupid nurse Slutty ******** dismissal because then came....
THE TRIAL.

Aaaah, The Trial AKA Were most people in the guild started to get fedup and planning to leave.
But first, you need some more background on Romane (serend's police officer) and Graves (Angel's policeofficer, father or Brent and overall horrible person)
Last thing serend told you was that Graves had committed suicide, but his body hadn't been found. Romane was spending all her time looking for it, while everyone on the island cried for him if they were Meina's, or didn't care at all if they were anybody's else.
Then, suddenly, GRAVE REAPPEARED ALIVE! Turn out that his suicide note was not suppose to be a suicide note, but some cryptic message meant for his sister (the mayor) because she was the only one smart enough to understand it, but because Romane had been the one t find it, no one knew that he wasn't dead, but had actually left for Germany in order to find his long lost 95 year old Grandmother because... I don't know. Something about the Berlin's wall. Angel was crap at history and never made much sense.
So, for a reason I still don't understand, Grave was made a hero and everyone was worshipping him and the Grave's Return Holiday was added to the calender (not really, but it might as well).
Skip ahead a couple of months full of drama, sex and pregnancy (you must be getting used to it by now) and Romane was pregnant by Grave when Serend lost the willpower to say no to Angel for them to sleep together.
Now, I'll point out that Romane and her boyfriend, Vladimir, had been sleeping together basically every day since serend wanted her pregnant in order to make another character. Angel was the one to decide when someone was knocked up, when she'll give birth and if it was a boy or a girl or twins. We had NO choice in the matter.
So, there went Romane and Vlad tryng to get a baby and it never was working. Vlad cheats on her with one of Angel's woman and BANG that one gets pregger. Romane is pissed, sleeps with Graves and BANG Romane get pregger.
However, Romane and Vlad mended up their relationship and decided to raise that child as their own. Angel was furious =D She wanted Grave to be the father and raise the kid with Romane. Serend and Angel then argued about it for a while and Serend, half jokingly went "WELL I'LL SEE HIM IN COURT THEN!"
To our surprise, Angel said it was a good idea and we would have a court.
Most of us, in OOC were pretty excited! We would get to act a real trial, having lawyers proof that so or so wasn't fit to be a parent and then there would be a jury of characters to decide where the child went. Romane then hired Neil, my journalist/investigator to find as much crap as possible on Graves (and trust me, there was a lot) to prove he would suck at being a single dad. I would play Romane's Lawyer and easilly beat whomever Angel would be playing as a lawyer, because Angel was a stupid woman who though you had to get counselling before being wedded to make sure you were mentally prepared for it, and that you needed the father's permition before getting an abortion, including a rapist father. yeah. We were pretty sure we would won, but still get a lot of fun out of it.
Nope.
About a week before the trial was due, angel annonced that SHE would play BOTH lawyers, SHE would put the evidences SHE felt needed to be presented, HER character would be the judge and THE CREW would be the jury.
Now, while that was all a total load of bull, I'd usual be okay with the crew members being part of the jury. The problem, you see, Peachland had about 9 crew. Angel, Meina, another girl who was the only half sane person there and about 5 other accounts that actually were Angel's mules. She though no one knew about it, but everyone knew. It was pretty clear. They had the same style of writing and always made the same typo and never were online at the same time. So of course, we complained about that format. Angel didn't want to budge. We complained more.
Nothing came out of it, however, because then....
THE TIMESKIP TALK HAPPENED.

The Time Skip; AKA the last straw
Around the trail talk time, there was another important talk happening and it was the one of a guild time skip. You see, with all those pregnancies, there was twice as much babies running around than actual character so some of us wanted a skip to have them AT LEAST be young children
The two of us that were mainly for it were me and the user called Fanta. We suggested it and other people agreed with it, but mainly, it was our ideas. Angel rejected it flatout. We asked why, to give us some reason, then, she had the NERVES to say "I'll talk in the Crew Forum to see if it's worth talking about it with you".
Seriously? Wow, good job at being a captain. Anyhow, she finally made a thread for it where we could talk about it. Overall, it looked good, but me and Fanta still had one major problem.Angel didn't want the user to decide if they would have childs during the time skip. SHE would decide and SHE would choose what sex the babies would be. We tired to explain to her that, because it was a skip,it was like when you created a character. You had all the freedom to do what we wanted. When I created Yoakim, for exemple, I decided to make him a male, not a female. But still, Angel wanted to be the one to choose.
We got pissed.
She told us to shut up, that it was HER guild, not ours, that we wouldn't be making decision and it was't anyone like us or, and I quote "A feminist b***h like Coma" (who hadn't been online for 3 days due to family stuff) that would come and tell her what to do.
That was the last straw. Me and Fante, over msn, went all "RAGE D8<" on her and decided to quit. We contacted serend and told her so and she had the same reaction as us, especially when she noticed that Angel was attacking her personally (oh, and she was a "feminist b***h" because she enjoyed to play Romane who was an independent woman who didn't want kids) while she was gone. So the three of us + another one decided to quit the guild, but not before letting Angel and Meina know what we really though of them and why they were creepy horrible RPer, so we all wrote them letters that we posted on OOC all at the same time and left. Another user decided to do that same thing and 4 others also left, but without leaving a note.
I'll post the notes in the next post because, yes, I still have them 8D

Serendipitous Coma:
Angel, I apologize. I have never been very happy with you or Meina. Your characters are unrealistic, your roleplay itself seems halfassed and thought up in a moment's notice, doing what you think would make your characters look the best even if it stretches from the very core personality you wrote yourself. I never have liked that about you as an RPer. But, I have never voiced this until now. Why? Because I have learned to keep my mouth shut when I dislike someone – I am not an aggressive person, I hate arguments, but.. I can honestly say at this very moment that I feel I have to to defend my pride. You may diss my characters, my roleplaying skills, but you can not judge – and will not – judge me on a person based on either. You do not know me, that fact is why I refrain from judging you until now – true, I dislike you online, but you could be different in real life. The same goes for me. However, once you cross that line, I am more than happy to do the same. I am more than happy to judge you as a person based on how you have acted in the past and now. I will not go into details, but I will say this in complete honesty.
I do not like you. I am so very, very certain of that that I have no fear in stating it now. As such, I am leaving. I am happy I was ever in this guild for the people I have met here are awesome, but I am not going to allow myself to be 'lead' by someone who will resort to petty insults the moment their argument is proven weak. You said you wanted to give users the ability to state their opinions, that this would be a community based guild, yet whenever.. at any time.. we try to say what WE want happening, you act like this. I can't stand it anymore and I am done. I am through with gritting my teeth and baring with how you act, I am through dreading logging on just in case today is one of those days that I must shuffle through the OOC and sigh on how ignorant some can be. There are few people that I can barely stand. So few that I can count them on my left hand. You may ask anyone who has known me for long, but I am perhaps the most forgiving person on my block, an enemy is hard for me to make. With you, however, I have issues trying to see the good in interacting with you. I honestly think that I may be harmed intellectually by trying to understand what makes you tick. And do you want to guess why?
It is not because you are oh so complicated, it's not because you have so much going on in there that I can't possibly see them all, it's because of the simplicity. I never thought anyone can be as simplistic as you and Meina are, so easy to understand, that every chat must consist of me tearing back the curtain and trying to see if there's anything but a brick wall behind it. There must be a window! There must be a door! Something to say that there's more there than an egotistical moron who can't see beyond their own nose. It makes me lose faith in humanity to see someone like you running amok, even on the internet. In fact, I have security knowing that it may very well be the only place I will see one like yourself.
Have fun, I hope your guild doesn't collapse on itself, and drive safely.
Lone_Heart (my old n00bish username):
Okay, you know what? Damn it Angel. I’m fed up with you and this guild. You think you are so better than everyone, that you know everything and yadda, yadda. However, half the things you and Meina say, just don’t make sense. I’d like to point at that abortion thing being the choice of the father. I don’t know in which world you live, but you need to wake up.
Also, I’d like to point out that you (angel) are having a God complex. You think Oh, so highly of all your characters. They are oh, so perfect. Of course, Angel who is a spoiled brat is awesome! Everyone should love him! He tied Roman on a pole and strip her, it just makes you want to love him more! And Yvonne, using public found to pay for the fine Pierre had. So not morally questionable. Oh, might I say that she blatantly refuse to help her own village grow? Let’s not have a hospital, because I own one in another town! Also, such a huge mansion and yet, she does nothing . Oh, but then, when we come to hate your characters, you get all bitchy. We aren’t allowed to not like them. Like that time you went angry at Fanta for saying Grave was a moron. Or how ALL of your characters went on and on about how Eric was so perfect.
Next time when you start talking about laws and stuff (Im not just talking about Keith, here) it would do you good to actually check them and be smart enough to understand them. All the time, we (everyone leaving right now) all went “wtf?” it’s not because you had one class of law in high school that you are smart enough to know all of them. Go get some education before talking about stuff you don’t know.
When you are a guild leader, you try to listen to your members. Not do every ******** thing by yourself or trying to resolve things with your “crew”. Crew being of only 3 people with at least one who’s always saying the same thing as you.
Step down of your podium, woman.
So long, and thanks for all the fish.
Risk: (my favourite)
Hello~ :'3
Angel, Miena, when I first joined, it was you two I was most infatuated with. Why, it was you two who made me smile, made me laugh, I'd even clap my hands and read your posts. Now, if I had a bag of peanuts, I'd commence to throw them at you and continue with my amusement, completing my little imaginary trip to the zoo. For the two of you are sad little people who can't see past the walls that create the illusion of your perfect little 'me' worlds.
I honest to whatever deity, love you two to death. For the laughter you gave me in the endless wash of stupidity that laps your beaches, will last me for quite some time. And when, once, or if you concoct yet another silly picture to morph you the hero, you the righteous, and you the princess who was so horribly wronged and should be loved, pampered, and cooed to because of this post, you will most likely only further prove my statements of your inner workings.
Angel, you're as dumb as the next person and you're not special. Your idea of a character is your own sad attempt to actually live a life! Thus, making for a dull, boring, unrealistic, character that makes me, and others, gag.
Miena, learning disorder, really? You insult the people who have one everywhere, ESPECIALLY MY OWN MOTHERF-ING LITTLE SISTER You I loved so much, it was a love that twisted to my own grinning laughter. If I could, I'd remove you in a way that only would satisfy my taste for saving the name of my dear sibling. Stop using excuses, it ain't working dear. You're just.. dumb. It's a beautiful word.. it's a GORGEOUS word, isn't it? I love it so much because it makes me think of you.
For if my little sister ever turned out like you – well, she won't because she's not YOU. No one wants to hear the under loins of your puke evoking life, your characters are horny little twats that make no sense.
So my becoming of here was merely to get a 'up close' experience with my amusing zoo animals with a friend who had been getting all the fun.
Now that I have, I wish to breath clean, sense making, air, out of the smelly pit that makes your frolicking fields.
Good bye my darlings~
Fanta:
It's called getting tired of what's going on. I'll be honest, these three covered up a lot of the basics of why we're leaving. I was going to make this ridiculously long post to state everything... but you know what? After getting some sleep and thinking on it... It's not worth my time and frustration, mental health and possible brain aneurysm to state something like that and why. Because it's not one thing, it's a recollection of a TON of things.
What will say is that I don't have to deal with this. All I wanted in this guild was to enjoy role-playing. Ah, here you may argue, but the truth of the matter is that in this guild, if you do not say things how Angel wants to hear them, you are doomed. -to not say other words- I stated a lot of why's in the topic for the timeskip, to which was the last straw for me when I asked for something so simple and was answered with 'We'll decide if it's worth talking about'. No. That's not what a captain does. A captain contemplates the suggestion and gives a straight valid answer.
I can't say it was a complete waste being here, because I met a few who I adore right now. I also managed to better my skills, in developing stories for my characters, and it was a decent few months. But lately it got too... This feels like a nerd trying to satisfy popular kids in high school. Never-ending.
As far as I remember, I've been doing things by the book here. I went along with a few things, albeit ridiculous, and the moment I disagree strongly with Angel in a point, I am dubbed troublesome by the captain. In the end, I'll be in the wrong, even if I'm not in the wrong. Go figure. I don't have to put up with this anymore.
Oh by the way Angel. I've learned that life isn't fair. I don't need to have a shitty life to understand that. Now if I don't take crap from bimbos in real life telling me what to do, I sure as hell am not taking crap from someone virtually. Especially from someone who knows nothing about me and decides to put me below someone who openly shares how many times she has daily sex with her boyfriend.
Good bye.
Koko:
Lawls, I love you, Lone, for the Hitchiker's Guide reference.
I'm not the type for long posts (what am I saying, of course I am), and I just got home from a long, hot day at school, so I don't have the energy to type out a long post. I feel like what I'd have to say has already been said, and probably more eloquently.
Hell, I'll type something out anyway. ;D
Let me start by saying that I have nothing against you guys personally. Angel, I still think you are a lovely person and Meina, you're pretty cool yourself. My reason for being here has always been the people. When I tried to jump into roleplaying and got ignored, I was okay with that because I had the OOC. Sure, I may not have tried particularly hard, but again, this guild was interesting to me because of the people. And since my favorite people are leaving, I too must be taking my leave.
I'm not against you guys, Angel, Meina, Prince or any of the members who stand behind the way this guild was run. I'm against the roleplay. Too many mary-sues, perfect characters. Instead of trying to make characters who were truly interesting, melodramatic trauma was added, as if that would add depth.
I don't feel like spreading out each and every problem I had on the table, but I will say, Angel, if you want your roleplays to work, you have to listen to your guild members. They should be the most important. If they're not, then you should hand the Captain role to someone who takes the wants and the needs of the members seriously. You guys said that Lone and Fantasy were picking fights, that they're always disagreeing and throwing a fuss whenever you guys try to do something. Get off your high horse and see it for what it is: We're frustrated. We're not happy. And we're leaving.
Hopefully you guys can learn from this experience. And constructively learn, not this "I'm a worthless pile of s**t" crap. You know what I hated the most about this guild? The fact that you and Meina never stopped complaining about your crappy lives. I have a friend here who does that. You know what? It's tiring to listen to the same old poor-me story over and over again. Who cares if I don't understand? Everyone has their problems. People don't admire the people who had crappy lives and complained about and brought it up in every conversation. People admire the people who had crappy lives and were able to move past that without having to bring it up over and over again.
Again, it's nothing personal, and I hope that in the future I can roleplay with you guys again. But for now, I'm out of here.
