I guess you missed how I was joking. Really, I was.
I am actually following in the fashion you attempted to teach me: asking kitti about an inconsistency I found. I actually did write up a post aboug a giant flying mechanical pigeon, but kitti's profile states how difficult flight is, and not just the balloon type.
What did I do wrong this time?
I have a degree in chemistry, therefore what I percieve as plausible may not be the same as yours. Hence my interpretation of the sealants, metals, etc. Try to be more tolerant of that.
Also, I refrain from arguing with Asmoedeus because I like his scenarios enough to attempt to reform my style to match the way he does things. Notice how I dont make mistakes twice. I think.
I hail from the same background as Orion, and he knows this. Therefore he gives me much more free reign. I also know how he rolls, so rarely do we clash.
I am really confused how you managed to pin such a large ego on me. I am rather flattered, actually. If anything, ignoring your passive aggressive behaviour has been my largest test since joining, which is why I prefer to directly deal with Asmodeus, as he is the GM, among other things. I have never claimed to be good and my writing certainly isnt great, but I draw inspiration from good scenarios and thrive on reactionary style posting. I am not good at writing posts that verge on short stories, I freely admit.
From where I come from, "making a name for oneself" takes a distant second seat to playing with other people. Please ask orion, ampoule, or tegan. RPing is about interaction, this I fully understand. The reason why I tend to write much shorter posts because the longer you get, the bigger the risk of ablibbing one takes. When I used to RP, we would take turns writing a few paragraphs, reacting to each other, mingling, interacting. Stories unfold dynamically based upon the whims of whoever, whatever, however. One player eventually transitions into GM mode. There is little to no pre planning, and certainly no OOC talk except "brb dinner". Or not. Sometimes we just shoot the shit, that is fine too. This is almost completely antithetical to what is going on here, and you can tell that I am obviously having difficulty adjusting.
I am most eager to read exvinds excellent posting, and to see what cammyjag and selenite write next.
Whew! That was rather long winded. I would appreciate if you read this all, as it would explain my "odd" behaviour.
