*knocks off the RP mode, tempted as she is to continue*
Yeah, I know. I participated in organizing the rules portion of the RP Board. Like I said in my first post here, I had a talk with Feldi about RP maturity.
...
But if you people want to keep this a mindless fighting thread, fine. ._. It only makes me tempted to start something random with, well, as much as I'd hate to use the word again, substance.

Well... I agree with your opinion... but I've never seen a thread like this and I wanted to try it out. I found out it was fun for some reason.
This thread was passed through by fab and never was denied by him. This also gives people with crazy imaginations a chance to interact with each other in their own way... by beating the heck out of each other's posts (I'll explain). It might seem like a neverending battle, but that's what the fun is all about! You think you have the best idea for a comeback, but someone backfires on you. Then, you can try to think of a way to get back at them. You never know what they might think of next.
My opinion is that this should just be left as it is. I see friendly fighting in the thread, not anything like "I'M GOING TO RIP YOUR LUNGS OUT IF YOU SAY THAT AGAIN!!!"... ok... that was a little weirder than I had in mind, but... I have a point, don't I?
Well, I posted what I thought of this thread... so, back with the fight...
KKC: Uh-oh... I should have erased your other hand... *Kicks wildly and finally gets free* KKC:HAHAHA!!! *runs away again* KKC: ...I get a feeling he let me go on purpose... oh,well... I'm hungry... Are there any food markets around here? I'll go look for one!!! *runs into the unknown... never to appear again... until his next post...*

*retains outfit and cig from earlier - because I just happen to like it*
Yeah, I know, but with an RP board coming, I find the posts here a little scary... and feel like just another place for post count raising. >_<' If it's any consolodation, your posts the better ones of the lot attackwise. I've seen enough abyss angels from the deepest depths of HEEEELL to last a good lifetime or two.
Drawing is a more interesting way to summon stuff. >_> <_<

And I think I should note, just in case you can't read betwixt tbe lines here, that FG is saying (and I have said before), don't be under the very false impression that when we have an RP board, it's going to be like this.
It's not.
Ever.
As is, I wouldn't even call this topic a BAD roleplay. I wouldn't call it a "war" thread. I'd call it "typing crap back and forth to each other but never losing." Definitely NOT RPing.
If THIS is what you call Role Playing, you're going to seriously have to readjust your definition if you want to participate in the one(s) we'll have here at MMLS.

Really. I find this the most scary thing on the forums. ever.
Its like saying "Now i will kill you with my magical sword!!! *slash, now your dead for ever*" and then the other user saying "But i have 9 lives, and now your dead for lying!" and so on...

… I’ve never tried RPing, but I might as well see if I can manage…
*begins feeble attempts at RPing*
*the sound of footsteps echo in the distance*
A head covered with long brown-blonde hair began to appear from the horizon, the footsteps continuing as a tall figure to which the head was attached walked up the flight of stairs. As he neared the end of the long stairway he began to say, “Now, now, we needn’t turn this thread into a ‘we hate the chase thread’ but—”. The overtly nervous sound of his voice was cut off as he tripped over the last step, falling face first into a pile of crystalline shards. “Great, what a nice first impression…” He wiped the blood from his face and then proceeded to brush off the crystal dust from his pale green pants and a long dark green jacket.
After a few deep breaths he regained his composure and continued. “I’d have to agree that this is one of the most nauseating threads in existence, but if fab wants it to remain a chaotic blot on MMLS’ record then there isn’t much we can do.” He turned his back to the small crowd of onlookers, trying to hide his now scarred face from FG and the others. “Still, if you do wish to train us in the ways of RPing, then it might be a good idea to just start up your own practice RP. Nothing official, but just something so that we can learn the ropes.”
He began to walk back down the stairs. “Now, if you don’t mind I’m going to go find me a doctor… I’m beginning to lose consciousness…” he muttered in a weak and fading voice.
*end feeble attempts*
I can understand KKC because he is at least being reasonable, and the only one being creative (Going, “I killed you” and “No, you didn’t” is not being creative). It’s being a god who constantly drags everyone through the world of FF9 that’s really annoying people and scaring them. I’d just say leave them be and ignore them. They’re in their own little world now… Just start up a training RP if fab will let you and that’ll prepare those of us who actually would like to have a serious RP sans the utter chaos and stupidity of this thread.

First off let me make one thing clear. As far as post count is concerned, this topic doesn't exist. I have been clearing them out periodically, so that no one's post count has benefited from this lame thread. Not the participants, nor the mods. Thank you...
Now, as you probably noticed, the thread has been locked, and I do not intend on opening it back up. My first instinct was to lock it instantly, but I decided to be a nice guy. I figured it would get old to the players, and the people who were smart enough to not participate could just look the other way. Well, it didn't get old, and people didn't look away- starting with me, who had to keep up with deleting the post counts manually. Several members complained, and even the members of my staff tried to get me to close it.
Out of 141 posts this thread contains, 89 of them can be accounted for by Paragon (49) and Bon (40). That's simply ridiculous that two people make up well over half the posts in a 10 page thread! I won't even go into the insanity of the posts themselves.
Am I upset? Yes, as a matter of fact. This thread is a small scale example of what happened in the forums several months ago. The staff played nice, and things got out of hand. The staff cleaned things up, but at the expense of being called too strict. Only, this time it's different. This time it's me playing nice and everyone else telling me to close it. When my charity is countered with a quote such as this: "but if fab wants it to remain a chaotic blot on MMLS’ record then there isn’t much we can do" then I know I've really let things get too slack, and it's not just this thread. So let it be noted this time around, it's the members who drive the staff to strictness, we don't do it for fun!
