Conquest of the Horde

...<3

On a totally different note, I've lately had a few attempts at branching out. Some successful, some not.

Buuuut, my characters now number in the tens... Sheesh.

Draenei: Namaah, Taera, Azu; - I made this other one - a Paladin whose name I forgot, but since there was little arpee on her, she doesn't really matter.

Blood Elves: Elil, Arlyn, Lari(Want more trading RP if possible, Duraza), Liethel(More inter-nobility arpee! I'm looking at you, Belth!), Nim, Laranor(Anyone up for a therapist?), Lina(Oh god, I love role-playing with a Custom Model succubus. Infinite props to Kretol for that. And I wish for more drinking games, in Silvermoon.), Sythrani (Awesome fun in Mimiron's last time. Need to check back on Sebby whenever I get the chance.. And also have more science-y encounters with a certain Draenei), Thaura(Must finish storyline... must not procrastinate...), Zaiela, Luelin(Helping Sanya out is lulz. Also, needs moar theological debate.), Eris, Eos(Fun in Ralnoc's events!), Pyxis(Crayons!),

Night Elves: Sylvandre(Jurisdiction? Never heard of it.), Serenwylde(Savin' the world, one bottle'o'booze at a time.. Also was nice to meet with Telika again; Missed joo!), Lyssera(Being racist is fun!... but it also causes drama), Cela(Needs more Sagi RP), Lyia, Kynra(Yay for Outland RP!), Kalrah(Learning about Draenei...), and this is getting tiresome. But there are others!... somewhere out there...

And there's also a blacksmithing Human: Cherith. Whom I've recently lost the urge to role-play, but keep around - since she was great fun to run around Lakeshire and such with.

I do love symbolism in characters...

And Roxas. We need to role-play some more, for old times' sake.

I'm far from active as I used to be. Also, it's sometimes hard for me to see when you're online because of the multitudes of characters you have. Hehe.

Cela(Needs more Sagi RP)

These things will be corrected, though Sagi's once I solve whatever is going on between him and Relon. I'm playing Duraza quite a bit more so you can expect him needing to buy more stuff at some point. Maybe he'll lead another campaign...

Also, in terms of feedback I'm certain you already know I'm a fan. I've always enjoyed Sagi's talks with both Cela and Sylvandre, especially because Sagi always feels he can argue with Syl without a problem but Cela always makes him feel like a total newb priest. Honestly, of all your characters those two are my favorites and I've grown fond of Cela especially. You have her speak in a way that sometimes makes me wonder whether you have pre-written phrases that Cela might say in x situation.

I think I can best describe it as talking to philosopher who wanted to be a poet but settled for writing artsy books on morals (if that makes any sense...). I do admit though, Cela is always so certain that I sort of wonder how she would act if something truly challenged her own morals (and I'm noting to myself to work on challenging them myself). There has to be some viewpoint to which she hasn't the slightest clue herself what's right and what's wrong, whether its a result of ambivalence, indifference, or prejudice.

Generally I find your characters well thought out and have enjoyed my time with your other characters as well. My only parting thoughts are that you should pick up an undeader character. I know I've seen you make one before but I would like to see for myself what sort of Forsaken you'd end up playing.

Right then.

I honestly don't know what to say about you, flammos. At times, you seem like someone I can get along with. We share interests in a few things. We have similar points of view on some subjects, though I've never had to 'agree to disagree' with you.

At other times, it feels as though there's some incredible tension between us, or at least I'm feeling it. A majority of ideas I've sent out to the forums, you've essentially said how terrible they were. I believe the most recent case of this was the Dragonsworn idea. Another was during the most recent prestige system where your character was denied and I essentially got a rather vile response, with something about you being at the top of a pyramid, above everyone else.

I'd like to say you're a good roleplayer, but frankly, I've rarely ever seen it. I enjoyed roleplaying with you when I have, and I'd like to hope that you enjoyed roleplaying with me. However, it seems like you've all-together withdrawn from the general community expect for a sparse few cases. Perhaps this is due to past interactions with the GM team, after the whole Elil fiasco. Perhaps something else happened. I don't particularly know what drove you away from the rest of us in such a way, but I find myself saddened that such is the case. You were certainly part of CotH's community for a while. And then, probably around the time we moved to GMI as an OOC zone, it seems you pulled away. I wonder if you did this so you wouldn't have the leering eye of the GMs making sure you don't do things that you fully know we would not let fly.

I'm curious as to why such is the case. Is it because you view the rest of us as though we are beneath you? I can certainly feel that way sometimes with our interactions, when it feels as though there's a newspaper rolled up waiting to strike my noggin as though I were a dog who just peed on the carpet. This actually brings me to another point, because I really only get this when we've communicated over the forums. In-game you're very polite from what I've seen. But when it comes to the forums you take this elitist persona and it's very... frustrating. When I speak with you in-game, I feel as though we're at least able to speak on a friendly level. But once it comes to the forums, you just turn into this thing with incredible expectations, and scoff at everything. What happened? What made you loathe the 'common roleplayer' so?

I can only assume you rant about your dislike of us in private. I'm a paranoid individual, I often assume things. Please tell me this isn't the case.

I recall when I first joined this server, and you let me join your guild. I was happy, I thought I found a place to be in. I wasn't a very good roleplayer at the time, granted, and I was still searching for a character to stick with. But back then you were willing to try new things. Meet new people. And it seems like you've closed yourself off in your 'bunker' and only let a specific few people inside. I don't know why you do this. And don't take this as a message that I'm begging to roleplay with you or anything, because it's not the case. I just want to know why you've pulled away, as stated previously.

And what ground do we stand on? I... I used to think we were friends. I honestly don't know anymore. We used to talk about things, and now I've no idea what the devil's going on. It frustrates me, truthfully, and frustration tends to bring out a sour side in me. But it is the case.

So...

... What's going on?

My feedback to you is exactly the same as Xigo's. I love to RP with you, when I've gotten the chance to, and all in all I've had a positive experience with you. However, there have been more than a few times where I've been left wondering your true opinion on anything, because the way your mood shifts almost comes off as contradictory.

This isn't an attack, but a true want to understand things a bit better on my side, as I know I have many flaws as a player and even as a person... but in this case I don't always know how to handle your reactions to things because they are so vast and varied.

Aside from all of that, I can truly say you are quite an intelligent person. When you do disagree with someone, you actually provide detailed reason, aside from the usual "I don't like this just because". It can come off as negative because sometimes, you say things like "Horrible" as Xigo has put it, heh. However, you usually keep it civil.

Your intelligence bleeds heavily into your RP, and you play your characters very well, and manage to stick to the norm without making a bland or outright stereotypical character... something that's very, very hard to do; especially while being interesting.


All in all, I don't know what to make of you, heh. That's probably due to my own insecurity (A trait I -so- share with Xigo, as he stated), but it's also nice to know I'm not the only one that... feels this way. I'd love to hear your response, perhaps in my own feedback thread?


Hint. Hint.

Hoo boy. This is gonna be a long one. And my fingers are so cold!

@Xigo.

First off, heya! Secondly, I'll cut to the chase. 'With me', you stand pretty dang high. You made a buncha' good decisions, and performed admirably for most I've known you. Both of us have had our missteps and I feel that sparked a sort of camaraderie-like feeling.

Quote: A majority of ideas I've sent out to the forums, you've essentially said how terrible they were. I believe the most recent case of this was the Dragonsworn idea.

You were only the messenger. I can disagree with ideas or decisions. It could've been anyone else posting those messages, and the answers would've been the same. I don't take into account that a person is my friend or my frenemy or whatever they happen to be when I reply to things. If I find something worth criticizing, and I can provide an alternative or some form of constructive feedback, I will criticize it, and try giving it a nudge in what I see as being the right direction.

I try to refrain from ad-hominem attacks, and if you feel that I slipped up and made one, then I'm sorry - I didn't mean to. I don't hold a grudge against you or pretty much anyone else. The only serious disagreement that I can think of that was specifically with you, Xigo, was the flying paper messages one. And that was nonsense in the end - a minor issue.

Otherwise, I feel you've performed admirably - especially in the cases where you were puppetting NPCs, like a certain one time in Moonglade. That made me happy. Very happy. Plus, you've been fun to chat with a number of times in the past, and I've enjoyed it a lot!

Quote: Another was during the most recent prestige system where your character was denied and I essentially got a rather vile response, with something about you being at the top of a pyramid, above everyone else.

Not what I meant - certainly not entitlement by any means. But I'll explain regardless, as this is the biggest point I'll likely make in this post.

I was extremely ticked off due to what I perceived(And still do, in many, many cases) as being lack of due process. Not at you, per se, or at another member of the Team, but at the idea that a person has to have role-played with a number of select others in order to get a Prestige, in that system. Basically, that you have to be a public person/booty bay celebrity/whatever other term, be it derogatory or normal you use to refer to people who role-play with a very large number of others, in order to get a Profile/Character idea approved.

That does not sit well with me. And it never will. What is a newcomer to say when they see their ideas that make sense in-Lore and in-Universe, without breaking Lore by any means, be denied with just the simple explanation that 'you're not famous enough' or 'you haven't RP-ed with the right people'. Separate the Player and their RP habits from the Character Ideas/Profiles/Storylines/Etc. that they put forth.

That was the first time I decided to break off. Rather than raging at people(Who would be innocent in the end, truth be told. I don't see it as anyone's fault.), I simply chose avoidance. So, the circle grew smaller...

It came as an especially low blow, 'cause just at the time, I'd been all up in arms 'bout the Demonifuge, and a number of HC follow-ups. Funnily enough, I only dropped that because at the last event, three people came. Now, picture that, and then being told that you 'don't branch out enough'.

So, now you understand why I spat out that AoE Acid Damage.

Quote:I'd like to say you're a good roleplayer, but frankly, I've rarely ever seen it. I enjoyed roleplaying with you when I have, and I'd like to hope that you enjoyed roleplaying with me.

Bingo, Xigofaise. I liked it! Heck, the fight in Sillymoon when you were on Arianna, and the hops over the river with Avitz' Blood Knight, Lari and Ari were fun! It's just that time constraints and mood shifts sorta' pushed me away a little. Remember that time Arianna's brother was killed by being tossed in jail, and she got accosted for telling a Spellbreaker he had a Bladestaff?

Those were a couple of things I objected to. "Yeah, no, a debate over bladestaves and glaives would not occur with actual law enforcement. And there'd be an inhumanly massive public outcry if police brutality ended in someone's death, in a place like Silvermoon. In Cartel towns? Sure, it'd easily be overlooked. Not in Silvermoon." - so I removed myself from that, rather than enter a frustrated/stressful situation, or one I disagreed with.

Quote:However, it seems like you've all-together withdrawn from the general community expect for a sparse few cases. Perhaps this is due to past interactions with the GM team, after the whole Elil fiasco.

Not by a long shot. The Elil thing was the best "bad" thing that ever happened to my RP. Because it drove me on, past cliche and silly characters and into more serious and developed ones. Heck, it drove me into my second greatest branch-out ever(After the Pride. Gods, that was awesome), basically. The Crimson Templars. All of which I count among my friends, and all of whom I keep in contact with, where I have the means to do so.

I was so angry at some members of the Team for that(a certain one in particular) but now? I'm thankful. Really, really thankful. Without that event, I'd never have grown. It's funny - I only figured it out as I was playing "Guess the Movie" with Loxy and Tharny in WSG, around a fire. I wonder if they remember that sometimes... as it was about two years ago.

Actually, it was on... the 27th of April, 2010. I remember it because Arlyn was approved on the 30th, and it was my birthday.

Quote:Perhaps something else happened. I don't particularly know what drove you away from the rest of us in such a way, but I find myself saddened that such is the case. You were certainly part of CotH's community for a while. And then, probably around the time we moved to GMI as an OOC zone, it seems you pulled away.

Around that time, I could hardly think straight due to far too much school and far too little sleep. I remember just chatting the day away with Hawk, and when he'd go off, I'd wait until I snapped outta' 'School daze' and RP for a couple of hours before bed. At one point, I was so sleepy that I said Elekks like eating "Aggressive Suits" rather than Sand Pears. It's become an in-joke/meme.

So, it wasn't real dislike, just... dazedness. And the lack of energy to go out and find new people, when the ones I'd found already were superbly awesome.

Quote:Is it because you view the rest of us as though we are beneath you? I can certainly feel that way sometimes with our interactions, when it feels as though there's a newspaper rolled up waiting to strike my noggin as though I were a dog who just peed on the carpet.

As utterly adorable as that image is, I'll have to stop you right there. It's by no means that. Sure, I chastise sometimes, and yammer my mouth off about the things others say - but it is not, by any stretch of the imagination, out of a sense of superiority or anything of the sort. I'm just another person, passing another opinion.

Quote: But once it comes to the forums, you just turn into this thing with incredible expectations, and scoff at everything. What happened? What made you loathe the 'common roleplayer' so?

I don't really expect things of people, save to take note of their environment and try their best to portray the things they choose to portray in a manner that fits the Lore. Easy, no?

But what I will harp on are gangsta elves, things I see as unfair, and inaccuracies - situations in which I will try to explain why I hold the views I do, and what I see could be done to better things. Improvement is the goal, not a proclamation of superiority. A desire to help, if you will.

For instance, I see it as unfair that in order to be a part of a certain Class, you have to participate in certain Events, when such could easily be portrayed in IC Posts or otherwise - especially since not all of us have exceptionally free schedules, and can't afford to spend too much time on our leisure activities. I will harp on such an issue most vehemently, "with great vengeance and shall visit the wrath of an angry God upon it", to paraphrase a certain Youtube Variety Gaming Commentator.

Because I took to heart what a certain former blue-name said in a Guild Leaders' Meet & Greet: "If I may? The world may not be fair, but CoTH tries to be."

Quote:I can only assume you rant about your dislike of us in private. I'm a paranoid individual, I often assume things. Please tell me this isn't the case.

It isn't the case. 'Course, I could be lying, but you'll have to trust me on this one. If anything, I may comment on decisions taken, but I will not speak of dislike towards the person behind them.

Quote:I recall when I first joined this server, and you let me join your guild. I was happy, I thought I found a place to be in.

You go out and meet new people until you find the people you're most comfortable with. What happens if you -do- find those people? Should you stop role-playing with them in order to continue searching, despite already having met your goal?

That food for thought aside, CoTH itself has changed. Back in my day™, I couldn't sit for more than ten minutes in WSG, because there'd always be some interesting and engaging place to go to, even if it was Ratchet Arena or something of the sort. We had awesome Lore-breaky times back then, with elven alchemists taking over towns and trying to figure out the cure to Undeath.

We had expeditions into Northrend, where 80% of the server pop online was involved, and it was -glorious-. We had storylines taking us across the globe - at least in the times of the Light of Nova - and you might be surprised to hear that even back then, I still kept to a fairly tight-knight group(I.E. The Novalights). I haven't really changed. Just swapped groups around, over the course of my RP.

Expedition, Novalight, Pride, Templar... It's been quite the journey. And I cannot wait for the next leg of the race.

I get all giddy when I see veterans return. People like Tales(Who was the one who approved my introduction!), Vrahn, dragonmad, Rensin, Krent, Piken and everyone else. I still stand in awe of old names, even if I don't get to interact with them as much as I used to. Upon CoTH have blown the winds of change, around the time the second Prestige system/GMI came out..

Quote:And it seems like you've closed yourself off in your 'bunker' and only let a specific few people inside. I don't know why you do this.

Mostly? Lack of time and hunger for extremely high-quality, detailed nonsense that no one else cares about.

The funny thing is, just recently, I'd picked up another person. I'm sure you haven't forgotten Whym yet. Found him talking in OOCC, and decided to join in on the chatter. It was a Lore debate. I ended up going fairly wide-eyed to his outstanding demeanor. And I'm not talking about politeness, but rather an approach to Role-playing so humble that the only thing that came close was Duraza, and his legendary ever-willingness to put his characters at risk to further a storyline.

So, obviously, I started role-playing with him, tried sparking up some stuff between him and a few others, and much like a spiderweb, a network slowly started growing. It was fun! And then he got banned.

Even more recently, a few days ago, Gatwazzak returned. And we had an arpee session. 'Twas glorious. I missed that Troll.

S'yeah. Just 'cause I'm not seen around with a lot of people doesn't mean I don't -interact- with a lot of people.

Quote:And what ground do we stand on? I... I used to think we were friends. I honestly don't know anymore. We used to talk about things, and now I've no idea what the devil's going on. It frustrates me, truthfully, and frustration tends to bring out a sour side in me. But it is the case.

Far as I'm concerned? We're friends. /snicker. Just keep in mind, I can disagree with what you -say-, or what message you're conveying in the name of the management - but I am not, by any stretch of the imagination, angry or annoyed at -you- as a person. You're cool in my books. /thumbs-up.

Oh, one last thing before I move on to Rensin. I don't actively avoid RP-ing with the GM team. 'S just that nothing brought us together is all. I make little to no distinction between the colors of people's names when I RP.

@RUNSAN RADJAW!

Your jaw is rad. Totally.

Well, if you'd like to know my opinion on anything, ask me about anything and I'll tell you! Promise! Anything from WoW Lore, to Human Rights, to the state of the Videogame industry.

But since I'm already on a roll, I'll tell you how I feel about you in this here post.

I look up to you, Rensin. You're one of the veterans among veterans. A frigging legend. Despite not having interacted far too much with you, I can't count the times I've hailed your glories to the new arrivals here. Especially Khardona. I luffed that elf so very much.

I loved the things you've said in the past, and I've loved the things you've yelled in the past even more. Then again, I suppose I just have a thing for revolutionaries and rebels, and you're basically the 'Smiling Jack' of the lot, right up there with Krent(although he's more of a psychedelic type).

Your characters, though they may not be the most detailed in the world, show character that I've seldom encountered otherwise. A Death Knight with a Runeshovel, beating Scourge back into their graves? I have no words to describe how awesome that is.

The grizzled, badass normal ex-slave gladiator that happens to loiter around an Arena? Yes, please. Your creations ooze character through every pore, and I admire that. They're iconic. They're unique and unrepentantly rebellious, whilst still being believable.

As for my reactions to things and my mysteriousness, I really can't say. I have a lot of opinions on a lot of things, and some of them contradict each-other. But then, I own a bunch of holy books that claim all other holy books are wrong. Yet all of them are right, in that they feed the spiritual needs of the reader. If you can see past that metaphor, you've a philosopher's heart.

I have different reactions to different statements, regardless of whether or not they come from the same person. My best friend could say "I think tanks are a cool invention." and I'd be all "Cool.", and if they'd say "I think dogs are stupid." in the next few minutes, I'd be talking to them/disagreeing about it, and bringing up all the arguments I could to prove that dogs are in fact quite intelligent compared to most other animal species. I might even raise my tone at them for a moment or two. But that would not change the fact that they are my best friend.

In ending, I'm surprised at you saying you're insecure. You've proven to be anything but in the past. Am I really that intimidating?... If so, I should tone it down somehow...

---

Sorry if this peeves anyone. I can assure you, I mean no offense by any of the above. If you feel this post is offensive, talk to me and we'll work things out.

...That made me feel really, really good. Thank you.

My insecurities are very deep rooted and I don't like to show them off to people, heh.

I really appreciate this post. I really, really do. It was nice to see.

Your intelligence manages to stun me sometimes, and because of this, i've really, really wanted to RP with you. I've seen you and Etmosril all the time, and within this lies the aspect of why I have not. Trying not to echolalia the thread, i've really never had the capability to join your RP, as you take it to pretty out of normalcy places in the world. While many people, myself not included but firm on the point none the less, commend everyone on not RPing on the ease of access areas, what is a player to do were everyone forthright on RPing in unusually inaccessible places? If I could reasonably explain why any of my characters were off in the midst of Outland, i'd probably have much more depth on my already slightly shallow characters. To me, it seems that you are in your own sphere, world, and universe.

This isn't to say you're completely isolated, because if you were, you'd have one or two posts in this thread. I could obviously do my part to step forward and ask for RP, but it seems like when you want to RP, you are already out there in the neck of space, or in the OOC Zone to relax before sleep. I don't know your time zone, is it too much to ask the general area where you live? I've to leave my class now so I guess I can wrap this up, but I wish to RP in the future. And if i'm the staff member that you still loathe, you have my greatest apology for whatever. #justsavingface #pleasedon'tkillme

Anski!
(Hashtags, m'lady?)

It's no secret that I love Outland. I love it to bits(admittedly, it is already in pieces, so my affair with it will hardly do it any worse than it already is), and the times you mentioned are likely the ones in which I've either had characters adventuring around there or on vacation/holiday in the Stormspire - as Ethereals have a great way of treating their customers, much more fairly than Goblins, for instance.

Quote:To me, it seems that you are in your own sphere, world, and universe.

This statement interests me a great deal. I've heard it before - and somehow, I can't help but feel that it is half a compliment and half criticism. I enjoy having mystery and shadow for the uninitiated, though not oft' at the cost of isolation. I try to intersperse downtime with adventuring in far-off places, because really, no character's sanity and stamina could take constantly being off on the road.

There has always got to be someplace to return to. A home every weary traveler comes back to, after their long and arduous journey. In such times, I try to make it a point to have characters interact with others in their general area. For Arlyn(My most prolific Outland-traveller) this was Shattrath and Silvermoon. I'd really like to do it more often, as it makes me happy to flesh out the less action-oriented times in my character's lives.

I'm on GMT +2, also known as EET(Eastern European Time), and you're right in that I have a certain RP schedule that I tend to log on and off for. I usually hunger for RP around 2 PM Server-time(Unless the server-time clock is busted), as I normally have at least a couple of hours free around that time(Excepting Sundays and Mondays. Those two days are off-limits for such).

And, I appear to have been misunderstood. I merely said I raged at a certain person in the past, but that things were cleared up soon afterwards, and I felt thankful for the kick in the rear that I got - because it helped me take a step forward. I'm happy to say that I don't loathe anyone nowadays.

It's been a long time since I wrote in this thread I see. Although, admittedly, my opinion of you has changed very little or not at all. In face, you're one of the very few reasons that I look back at Coth and think "I should start roleplaying on coth again." Part of me is sad that I stopped RP on here because I missed all your new characters. Your characters were always such well thought-out wonders.

I also much admire your intelligence and reading your IC posts is actually what made me go into writing on the side, although I'd never dare show you any of it.

Despite not knowing much about you, since you so rarely speak about yourself, I consider you a good friend and even somewhat of a role model in some areas.

You probably already know much of this, but I feel that one should show his appreciation once in a while just as one deserves to get it once in a while.

...Now you've just made me curious. I want to seeee. Please? Pretty please with a cherry on top? If your ME Profile is any indication, you've improved quite a bit. Besides, I promise not to be a mean, harsh and cynical critic. I'm just curious is all.

That aside, aye, it's been a long time, though it's never too late to pick up again. And, to be frank, I've liked some of your characters a great deal. I suppose it was obvious, otherwise I wouldn't have role-played with you - and you keep being impossibly funny OOC-wise. I don't know how you do it, but you always end up saying something to lighten the mood and relax me.

Suppose I am a bit of a closed book. That's all I'll leave it to. But I see you as a good - and old - friend as well, and I'm honored you view me as such.

I suppose I should've posted this in a feedback thread(namely yours, if you have one), but... I seem to do things in a very spur-of-the-moment fashion. It's as though if I do not seize the moment, I will forget what I wanted to say. Still, thank you.

I actually believe that I never did open a feedback thread. I had a pretty closed circle of people I roleplayed with and I usually asked for their opinions personally.

And show you some of my writing? I'm to bloody embarrassed to do that. Although you might see it one day, since I intend on getting it published. In fact one of the major characters is inspired by some of yours and definitely have the Flammos stamp on her. Consider it a tribute. And I consider the Me profile quite sloppy, so I'm better than that. I've also considered going to writing school.

Honestly, I've been thinking more about coming back lately than I have done in a very long time. I'm just a bit afraid that it won't be how I remembered it.

You made me feel really special just seeing my name listed.. xD

I'll keep this short. Way too many BIG SRS POSTS UP IN HURR.

The most RP I've done with you(as far as I know) has been with Ceredor in our IC thread. And even though it's been slow lately, it's been -really- fun and I never really expected Ceredor to adapt the way he did and just being put through everything he has been. It's been amazing fun to see him grow and essentially put aside his old grudges for the 'bigger picture', swallowing the massive pride he had to follow Thel. I never know where the hell you are or who you're on, so it's hard to stalk you for RP. xD It's also great what stuff you come up with for his trials and how she acts. I love it.

..Okay, that wasn't that short but it wasn't as long as the others!

And, like Rensin said.. feedback is welcome in return. winkwink.

... Oh boy. I do remember those "Guess the Movie" games. Good times, they were.

Most of my... feelings have been expressed already in the previous few posts, Xigo's in particular. Though I don't think I've has as much of a history with you on that level save the fact that we've RPed a couple of times. Way back when, in the past. I remember interaction with Elil, back in the day, as well as with your human mage named Flammos, fittingly. That was such a very, very long time ago.

I've grown pretty distant to many that I've had past interactions with. You're one of them, unfortunately. I see you around and all, but I can't say we properly interact. Save that one whisper you sent me a while back, which certainly caught me off guard. I couldn't stop staring at the screen, I'll tell you.

I have to say that it feels... good, to see that people have brought these things up with you so to give you a chance to respond, explain or wipe away all doubt. They've mentioned things I'd never have dared.

I admit I've felt the same thing as Xigo has when it comes to the position of superiority that we've sensed, along with the response to the prestige and whatnot. Some interactions I've seen between you and others still stings my eyes, though, but those were in the past. So I suppose I should be able to look past them. ... I haven't really been at my best lately, so my judgement has been rather poor in some cases. I guess I haven't been as understanding or forgiving as I'd have wanted to be towards most people, either.

I've no idea where I was going with this.

I'll be shutting up now.

...I have a -very- hard time believing that. You've been a mediator for the longest time I've known you. It's your 'thing', your particular GM trait, that you always try and bring some measure of peace between everyone who you talk to. Heck, I've been a part of some of your supervised 'peace talks', heh.

Also, we've RP-ed more recently than Elil 'n Flammie, silly! Why, I remember a certain Kaldorei Death Knight watching over a one-lunged Paladin.

And even more recently, on Luelin, my BElven Priestess chatting up the same Paladin, whilst Edrandri had Blood Knight lulz in the background. And OOC-wise, I seem to recall only a few weeks ago you being a sick Loxybox and chatting about food and injuries and Fisherman's Friends and whatnot on OOCC.

And aye - I enjoy dialogue a great deal, because I believe it's the only way we can cooperate and avoid stepping on each-other's toes. We learn how to interact with different people, generally through first-hand experience. Sure, sometimes it doesn't work out as well as we'd hope, but - live'n learn! Explaining things, wiping away all doubt as you've said, is particularly enjoyable. It makes me quite happy to see people open to talking about sensitive occurrences like those in the past, in the interest of resolving possible issues.

Heh... You don't always have to go somewhere with the things you say. Sometimes, simply saying them is enough. There needn't always be a point, so long as what you're conveying is meaningful in and of itself.

Though I don't know where I stand in your eyes per se, Lawks, in mine you'll keep being the same, ever-helpful person you were the first time we spoke, when I and a few others were stuck dead in mid-air in Wyrmrest, and you as a Trial GM hopped over and rezzed us, and waddled around WSG in box-form, constantly chased by a throng of people.

/snicker. I suppose I just like keeping a perspective of people seen through a rose-colored lens, but whenever you feel like saying anything more, my ears will be open.
