Another female character by choobeh. Why would we expect anything else from him?

I swear she's not cold or emotionally broken! Actually she's pretty well adjusted considering the circumstances, which I guess counts as emotional breakage.

Little of topic guys, unless you plan to bring her in on this particular topic Choobeh.
A general call to all other RPers, I could really use some magically based/supernatural characters in here at this point. Kuro is win for creepy antisocial characters, but they're hard to talk to. Also I have a vague feeling that he's going to try to kill Prime. So yeah, hehe. To you especially Blood, do I issue this plea.
To Yoshimitsu and Choobeh, I'd like you to work in interference on your lines of communication through to your perspective organizations. I'd like a light touch of third party interference.

My character is magical So is his cat. Neither one is what they look like and Kalim is just looking for treasure to appease Nugget.

Yeah, basically this is a call to everyone in the RP world to take a look at Azure King, and to please feel free to jump in. I've been slowly working out a storyline for this that I'd like to advance, but I might need a few more people. Or choobeh to wake up, but I don't see that happening. He's busy and has no intention of returning to my topic in the near future. I assure anyone who hops in, you will be part of something epic, assuming I can get it moving properly.
I'll send you details of what'll be happening next in PM if you join, not anything to incredably specific, but anyone who throws in with a character has choices to make. Choices that will not always have pleasant outcomes for your characters.
Be warned, everyone who joins will end with a character who's likely been scarred and hard used, but one would hope the better for it. Leave your pride behind, allow your characters injuries, have them run away to fight again. Lie, cheat, and steal if you have to, every if its out of character, as its for something greater than the 'character' alone. If you fight, come away with a wound. Our enemies are not unprepared, they know our strengths, and they are discovering weaknesses we don't even know we have.
And they will steal the strength from us, to use as their own.
In summary, JOIN DAMN YOOOOOOOOU!

Merged this message into the already-existing Azure King discussion thread.
I guess that could be branded as a misuse of admin power but it seems pretty reasonable to me. Especially since the original thread had gotten a wee bit off topic! and needed to get back on track.
Oh, were you expecting this post to announce my joining the RP? Uhhhhhhh... sorry!!

I object to this. You have moved and buried my message. Yes, misuse of admin power. Not, cool.
But I guess it doesn't matter since the topic is now officially and quite obviously dead. I'm sad to say my general interest in putting up any other topic at this point is almost non-existent. Nor for RPing in any other topics... I believe I've become Bulbs.

man this is why no one wants to RP with you. you get your panties in a bunch whenever no one wants to do things your way. this message isn't buried. Pohatu organized the two together, and I stand behind him because honestly i consider the second topic to be spam.
you don't even look at the rest of the board to realize that you are not the only one who isn't getting replies. it's all about your topics, right?
Where are my reply to Head Games? Why isn't LTR moving? Why has no one posted in any of the three Aleta topics? Doesn't anyone care about the 5000+ words of notes I've written for Aleta, or the 5 supporting characters and carefully constructed plot I've made for Head Games?
What about Ishkabibble? Or Radiance?
Meanwhile, here you are whining and rage quitting about your single topic and plotline and character.

Its my topic, I'm the author of my topic and therefor its advocate. I've been nice and quite for a very long time, and just because I've finally decided to make some noise about it, to see if maybe I can get it to move, doesn't give you sufficient license of reason to take out your temper on me.
First off, this is an old topic. People who have already read it are not likely to read it again, especially if they weren't interested in the beginning. My plea is to other rpers who'd perhaps like to join, a nice shiny new topic is pertinent considering this. Its new, they don't know what its about, they'll check it out. In here, its old news, they know what its about, and what I say won't reach ears that've already decided not to listen.
So yes, it has been buried.
Second, I'm actually very much not kicking up a fuss. Otherwise I'd be far more vocal about it being moved, people had time to look and decide they weren't interested. I'll leave it at that, thats fine, I won't harrow everyone on the boards into being interested into one of my topics. They'll post more out of annoyance than anything else, and that wouldn't be good for the feel of the topic. A forced march doesn't exactly make for enthusiastic, fresh, battle ready soldiers.
Third, I am not getting my panties in a bunch. You are throwing your bunched panties at me because various topics you are interested in are not moving. I am simply not interested in posting in any other topics until my own is moving again, I have a story I want to get out and I'm anxious to do it. Unless that happens I have little to no encouragement to post anywhere else. I have not harassed you, or El, or cut you out or asked Kuro to post so I could just auto you out or something. I have waited, patiently, for quite a stretch of time.
I simply stated a fact, I have become Bulbs. I really, honestly, have no more drive to role play. I'm interested in my topic, and if it moves my blood might burn for different stories a little, but for the moment Azure is my sole interest. I'm sorry that I'm most interested in things I'm personally invested in.
I did entertain the idea of putting up new topics, I had two idea's I wanted to play with. One was a fairly short one, the other would've been pretty long. However given the boards tendency in general not to finish topics, and the current mood in particular (no one is posting) I didn't feel like there was much point. So yes, I have noticed the boards generally appear to be dead.
I also see you attacking me for trying to revive a part I'm interested in.
I know there isn't a lot of love for me here, that I've done rude things in the past, and maybe I haven't done enough to earn forgiveness. Thats just life, I'll likely go to my grave with more than one person harboring bitter feelings I wish I could've resolved. But there isn't much I can do about it aside from try to live my life in the best way I can.
Now please, I would like an apology. That was undeserved.
EDIT - Three months, I've been quiet and bothered no one about my topic for three months. The last RP post was march 4th, and it was -my- post.

For fuck sake, would you stop saying this "I've become bulbs" thing. It's pissing me off, mainly because I feel like you are using it in a negative manner. What the fuck is it even suppose to mean?

Oh sorry man, I didn't really mean it in a negative way. I just always thought you were losing your interest in RP, I don't know your reasons but I think it's probably a time that comes for all of us. We may not lose our passion for creative writing, but we slowly lose the drive to RP on the forums.
You bounced on and off the boards for quite a while, sometimes role playing and sometimes not. I feel like that now, I'm here, but my interest isn't as broad as it used to be. I don't feel as driven to RP, really I don't feel driven at all. Mostly I come on here to kill time, even if that time does equate to an actual post.
EDIT - And I always thought it was a shame you were losing your interest, because you're a bloody good RPer. The loss is felt more sharply when you lose something of value.

Eh, I go through cycles, I stopped "quitting" a while back. People just have to realize I will come back, I just have lots of other shit between real life and video games. The only things I consistently do are hang out with friends and hop in vent. I try to get on the board at least once a week during my not in the mood phases. But heck I'd be posting if Lee hadn't killed my motivation but letting Crystal Part 2 sit unfinished. It's waiting for a post from him before I can end it. And I am RPing, I am doing house held, though the Tornado that raged through Joplin has me on a long as fuck hiatus from that until things get back to normal somewhat.

Yeah I know how you feel. I'm in a few topics, but most of them are so long its daunting trying to catch up on the stuff I've missed. I still want to, but I can't find the energy or motivation to do it right now. I want Azure King to move, there's a storyline I want to drive that sits well in my mind and I like it a lot. If I can't do it on the boards, I may end up turning it into a novel, but I'm still on my Sero project.
I don't play video games as much, but I'm out working a lot, or out with friends. Or drifting, what have you. I have a lot on my plate and though I'd like to RP, there are a lot of other things I can enjoy more in life, mostly considering the slow pace of RP on the boards. If it moved on a little quicker, I'd be here a lot more often. But oh well, I'll prolly never leave same as you, but I'm settling into the same sort of groove.

I've been nice and quite for a very long time, and just because I've finally decided to make some noise about it, to see if maybe I can get it to move, doesn't give you sufficient license of reason to take out your temper on me. I didn't really see it as him taking his temper out on you. He was just saying that you're not the only one whose topics are being neglected so you shouldn't feel like it's a slight against you. Things are just sort of stagnant around here. Third, I am not getting my panties in a bunch. You are throwing your bunched panties at me because various topics you are interested in are not moving. So you're allowed to vent your frustrations but choobs isn't? I am simply not interested in posting in any other topics until my own is moving again, I have a story I want to get out and I'm anxious to do it. Unless that happens I have little to no encouragement to post anywhere else. I have not harassed you, or El, or cut you out or asked Kuro to post so I could just auto you out or something. I have waited, patiently, for quite a stretch of time. Why would you show interest in posting in other topics once AK starts moving again? If you're uninterested now then I'd assume you'd be uninterested later. EDIT - Three months, I've been quiet and bothered no one about my topic for three months. The last RP post was march 4th, and it was -my- post. Man, did you ever see how long it took me to post in Last Best Hope? That's an RP I'm personally invested in and I still didn't post there for like six months. Sometimes this shit just happens.

Choobeh is perfectly welcome to take out his frustrations in the interest of moving his topics forwards. I want to move my topic forward, I am lobbying for this action. I'm not really lobbying particularly loudly, even. It was posted in this topic, and only those interested in Azure would even read this topic. Or people bored and merely poking around out of curiosity. This was obviously one of my complaints, being buried, but still. When it was a seperate topic, it was still a general beseechment to get er movin. It wasn't aggressive or directed. If I wanted to be aggressive, or make noise as it were, I would consistently bug consistent people.
Like Choobeh, for instance, since he's the one the topic waits on. Or Elliot, he was in the topic before but sort of phased out by just never posting. I've talked to him a bit and he seems open to rejoining, but I never really pressured him into it. Even now I wouldn't pressure him into it, if he's interested then fair dues, I have a moving topic. If I'm twisting his arm his writing won't be heartfelt, and that doesn't bode well for a well written topic. There's no point in twisting his arm.
So yeah, Choobeh can vent, just not at me. Vent in general, or send polite PMs asking people whats up and where their heads are at. Express the fact that your frustrated, there's no reason to direct it at anyone in particular. At best it gets you a post, and at worst it gets you into trouble.
As for my interest, I'm in LTR and a few other topics. If there was a point in creating a new one I would, but the boards are already choked with topics no one is finishing. If Azure King moved, I would feel more drive to participate. There are some things I can set up in LTR that would foreshadow my story idea, there are places I could drop an inconspicuous character or two I'd need for the story later.
Were the boards active, there's even a topic I could post in parrallel to Azure King that would be quite helpful, and fun to write. I may end up just doing it in fic form, or running them seperately. But the reason for my general disinterest, at the moment, is basically a lack of drive. LTR has clear, very short term objectives for my invested characters. Nothing momentous is going to occure, nothing driving towards a more epic or emotional overall storyline.
The only topics that have that, at the moment, are Ish and Crystal 2. If Pohatu needed me in Ish, I'm sure he'd have plied me with a shitload of PM's by now. Given Ish is actually interesting, I would've posted in there. Its part of a story arc that later on connects Prime to Ryuu and Aya, and I'd be able to use Ryuu a lot more as well. Aya is...still a difficult character for me to write.
If Lee posts in Crystal Part 2, I'd prolly get in thar too. Its not like I have zero drive to post at all, I just feel like my options are extremely limited to non-existent. Aside from the case of LTR, where I have to catch up on insane amounts of posts... Thats just daunting and I haven't been able to force myself to do it yet. Also did I mention the lack of clear overall storyarc? In that topic, Prime has been enguaged in what Prime is always enguaged in. Sudden extreme provoked anger and violence...
I was hoping he could just...socialize. ;_;
So basically the only topic I can advocate and push for is my own. I suppose I could pick any one of the above, but to be blunt, my own topic would tend to be my chief interest. As it would be for most any RPer, unless another topic had a very drawing storyline. I remember one of those once, it was grand, until I threw a fit and ruined it... I cannot remember why, but the only thing I can think of that would've provoked me to that would be Steph, or Baboon advocating the fuck out of Steph.
Also quote: man this is why no one wants to RP with you. you get your panties in a bunch whenever no one wants to do things your way. this message isn't buried. Pohatu organized the two together, and I stand behind him because honestly i consider the second topic to be spam.
Here are my thoughts on this.
Man this is why no one wants to RP with you: No one likes you, no one wants to role play with you, you're wasting your time here. Go away.
You get your panties in a bunch whenever people don't do things your way: False statement, and quite hurtful. It suggests I have a very shallow nature. I am not getting my panties in a bunch because people don't want to do things 'my way', I'm getting my panties in a bunch because no one wants to 'do things' at all. Relevant concern, and I'm not cussing people out about it either. I've made a few polite enquiries and a topic to try to entice people back. The only point where I got my 'panties in a bunch' was when Pohatu essentially buried my appeal in an old topic, where no one is going to look. The last part of the statement is basically a Mod and Admin joint prioritization. Pohatu has Ish, Choobeh has Aleta and other projects. They're both involved in a number of topics they'd like to see move long before Azure King does, and of the two Choobeh holds only a minor, casual interest in Azure.
So they both agree that burying my post is a good idea, on the grounds of spam, because advocating 'my' topic takes attention away from 'their' topics.
Not, I am responding to the post above. There isn't much I can do about my position really, posting a new topic will just get it shoved in here again and probably a warning level tacked onto my name to boot. I'm not gonna make waves, I'm no longer advocating my topic. I am not intending, or wanting, to provoke anyone.
So if either Pohatu or Choobeh would like to respond to the above, I'd ask you do it in a cold, objective manner instead of getting angry with me in your responses. This is a statement from my perspective, the way I see it, and I'm not attempting to cloud either of you.
But that is the way I feel.

I guess I thought merging the topics was the right idea because the old topic contained, yes, some off-topic natter, but also some actual information about what you expect to do, and hope other people will do, with Azure King. Information which, as it was buried deep on page four or five of RP Discussion, people had probably good and forgotten about. Now instead of reading that "Skylords Plea" post and saying "ummmmmmmmm well i don't know much about azure king so i will give this a miss", people might say "ummmmmmmmmmmmmmmm well here i guess let me look back at the rest of this topic" and maybe then the ideas will happen! If you are worried people won't read the topic in the first place, I can think of several means to draw them in. For instance, you could edit the topic title to something with time-tested mass-market appeal, such as "Azure King Discussion (BOOBS ON PAGE TWO)". Please note that this is almost true, since both Bulbs and Choobs have posted on page two of this topic, and if you put the names "Bulbs" and "Choobs" together mumblemumblemumblemumble boobs EDIT: Oh wait damn, back to serious time: So they both agree that burying my post is a good idea, on the grounds of spam, because advocating 'my' topic takes attention away from 'their' topics. Maybe if you could find an example of me campaigning for Ishkabibble anywhere in the last six or ten months, you'd have a point. My "pet" RP right now, if your argument means you have to view things in those terms, is Househeld, and I certainly don't need anyone's attention on RP Discussion to push for Househeld anymore. (What am I going to do, solicit more players?) As far as ORP goes, the majority of my love and attention at the moment is going to an RP that doesn't even belong to me, Obscured Truth. And there's no need to campaign for that, either, since it mostly sustains itself off Elliot's and my energy, along with contributions from others (only Choobs and Lee so far but I assume Elliot's trying to draw in more than them). So why would I look at "Skylords Plea" and go "OMFG HOW DARE HE HOG ATTENTION IN RP DISCUSSION, GOD DAMN HIM"? If there weren't already an Azure King discussion topic, I would have left Skylords Plea well enough alone. I just couldn't justify there being two of them. Hang me in the square!

Coldly and objectively, I will tell you that I consider a 1000 word rebuttal as "getting one's panties in a bunch," as well as considering a basic administrative move as some kind of personal affront. No, don't contest this point, I know you were just responding to everything said so you had to type a lot, but everything said has simply been a response to your actions. How did this merger even get blown out of proportion as some kind of conspiracy to keep you down? This merger would be no question on any other board. Just because we take off the peer hat and put on the mod pants does not mean we mean anything personal. I mean look, just like Pohatu, I haven't campaigned for any of my topics for months. I mean unless you count Kevin and I trading some ideas to develop the fish people over facebook a couple days ago, and that has barely even come to any kind of fruit, so it's like whatever, man. But anyway, I don't care if they're not at the top of the stack, and therefore, I don't see an influx of your topics as any kind of "threat," and it's pretty much impossible for me to be angry if I am busy being apathetic, so I think someone is projecting. Coldly and objectively, I will say that you are just silly thinking that Pohatu and I are in cahoooooooots in order to keep you down. I did not have sexual relations with that woman. I mean, we're too busy trying to ruin each other's pet projects to sabotage anyone else's. I mean we're just not conspiring. But really, just because we happen to be on the same side of an argument (an argument that involves administrative policy, so we better be on the same page since that's kind of our jurisdiction) does not mean we are attacking you in some joint effort. PS. hahaha not trying to make waves. This is the internet equivalent of self-immolation as a form of protest. Oh wait that wasn't a cold or objective observation, just like, my opinion, man.

No matter what my response to either of you, I'm certain you'd find a negative way to cast it anyways. Thats the risk you take when you speak, people will respond. And if they've already set their mind a certain way, you're gonna take a beating. I can't change you. Which is why, I spoke in response to Ninety. The only reason I mentioned you or Pohatu at all, is to ask that if you must respond to my statement of my viewpoint, you do it neutrally. I'd rather neither of you responded at all, I was merely responding to Ninety. And then only because I thought his points were a little unfair. Like I said, I'm not restricting you from venting, but somehow I'm magically allowed.
I just don't think it needs to be directed at me, and thats the way I took it. Whether you care to correct that impression or not is your call. Maybe its correct and there's no need to correct it anyways. *shrug* I just didn't want Ninety to think I was attempting to act unfairly towards you, so I explained myself. A sullen silence does nothing, and the only thing you can really blame yourself for is failing to act.
Also I find Pohatu's points to be well thought and valid, I feel foolish for not thinking of the name modifying bit, and therefor I apologize. Really, my bad camel dude.

He might feel differently if I started off my counter argument as "No one cares about your opinion, no one likes you. You should stop trying."
