SE, please designate a Role Play friendly server!

I believe we should use this time to reconcile our differences.

I know we all do not see eye-to-eye on the situation and have had experiences that have shaped the opinions expressed in this thread. We may have rubbed each other the wrong ways, even I flew off the handle with Serdapi a few pages back. I apologize to anyone if offense was taken and for interrupting the flow of this thread.

I know there are things people will want to say to continue the discussion or to say their piece. And things that were already discussed in the thread that will resurface.

I can only hope that we all partake of these friendship cookies baked to honor of Balmung.

To forge ahead as a community.

And to bid those leaving Besaid a farewell and fair gaming on the new server they migrate too (and cookies).

you guys cant even take a joke, ive been calling you RPists for well over a year :P

if you cant get pasta single word, what does that say about you guys lol

also you should seriously go back and look at some of the reactions on the pro RPist side being put forth and tell me that they are mostly not immature and extremely rude, cuz most of them are, usualy, the first stone is thrown by the side who was disagreed with cuz they dont know how to handle someone not fully agreeing with them

OMG I LOVE JOKES! Here let me tell one!

Claims "RPers" are attention whores. Goes back four pages, every other post is Foxbat, Foxbat, Foxbat When everything that needed to be said and -was- wrapped up in the very first post.

Could dig alittle deeper and go. User also claims to have started the trend of "RPist" (Attention Whore's claim to start fads) Claims to invented "Fabulous" (Again, attention whore syndrome.) Goes around proclaiming S/E gunna ban the turbo's and bots (Though, true. Still only is vocal about it because said user knows it will grind peoples gears and will get guaranteed replies and dare I say.... Attention!?)

You strike me as the type of person who really needs attention? Or were the fabulous threads starting to run dry for you?

Either way, Foxbot you made your point pages upon pages ago. There's really no other way to say this, buddy.



Aww, I'm just joking with ya, so don't get upset! lol

Back on topic, S/E reply already for gods sake so this thread can rest in peace.

Not at all. We welcome reasonable contributions to the discussion. However, ah... To put it delicately, you two haven't exactly been model supporters.

Oh, you mean you actually think this is the only thread on this topic? Your not that niave are you? This is what the 8th thread of its kind in the same originating week? My last post on the other thread was very supportive. Several RPers posted comments on my post in that thread appreciating what I said.

Coglin, you yourself flew off the handle in such a bizarre manner that many of us were rendered speechless and uncertain of how to respond.

Asolutely. After never saying anything other then a kind word to or about any RPer, I got sick of being bunched in with with everyone else. A player an only read so many post of "proclaimed role-players" lecturing others about how dare we stereotype RPers based on the acts of a few, just have have several of you in this very thread do that to me. Lump some of us into groups with posters like Brigandier, who openly point out they "hate" you. I literally made a post specifying that I do not share that point of view. Appearently thoug, your fine with the rest of us being stereotyped, just as long as it doesn't happen to you. So yeah I may go on the occasional angry tyraid after a few pages of players I was supporting bashing on me cause they are too lazy to read all of the post.

Literally my first post in this thread was when this was said.

This thread is not demanding the RP community get a server all its own.

And all I did was make a post with 4 quoted posters literally word for word, demanding a they have a server all there own.

Just to have some other moron post that my point was not valid because they disagree with the post I quoted.

How does someone disagree with 4 posters make the fact that they were demanding a segregated server less valid?



Although it does need to be said, that if you want to avoid having all RPers stereotyped, based on the actions of a few. That you may want to stop stereotyping everyone as a "RPer hater" just because they aren't kissing up, or have something less the stellar to say about a RP topic.

I don't really feel the need to defend things I didn't say, so... I won't! I will, however, caution you not to fall prey to over-generalizations. There are actually a number of well-stated, constructive posts here by people who oppose OP or even simply don't like RP. The reason not many replied to them is because.... Well, they were well-stated, constructive posts that stood on their own. Don't be so eager to paint with the broad brush of intolerance when vitriol's been spewed across the board both directions yet a small, respectful handful advances the discussion largely free from harassment. I actually sort of wish I could count myself among their number.

I admit my methods are harsh and controversial, but I'm not out to attack people here. Just arguments and mindsets that don't hold up well under the harsh light of scrutiny. I acknowledge that in turn, I subject myself to the same and am challenged to see if I can remain standing. Whether I still am or not is a judgement best left to the folks reading along.

[Coglin]

Is that what they mean by saying alot without really saying anything at all?

No ones asking you to agree with my stance on RPers and/or a RP sever. As a matter of fact, I would be willing to bet you are totally ignorent as to what my stance is on the subject. When I did get angree I specifically listed the name of the 5 people who didn't read all of my post and bunched me up in a stereotypical manner with some RP haters.

[SirOleas]

>_> Never knew RP threads got so much flack.
Three threads now, all have massive haters in them.

I miss Jeuth the Dancing Bear.

[Fiosha_Maureiba]

Oh, Jeuth. Oh where have you gone?! I miss your awesome hair.

[Kyri]

Why are you still complaining? we get it, you feel you were treated unfair. We don't need 20 posts on it before you feel acknowledged. We didn't get a sever, no dev cared enough to look at this post and i do blame it on the flamers because its awfully hard to see the subject between the large rants of how we are attention mongers. Goodbye post you didn't serve your purpose but kudos to Oskar for trying.

See, I don't buy this. I mean I understand there are some obvious over reactions from both sides here...needless to say the opinions expressed by everyone here do NOT necessarily express the opinions of ANY one community as a whole. But to chalk it all up as a joke, and to turn the tables like this at the last moment just seems like a silly attempt to save face.

Wile your absolutely right in a lot of what you've expressed. Spammers are annoying, everyone has a right to their opinion and both sides are guilty of not listening to the other...its as I said, silly to just chalk it all up as a harmless joke with a slap on the back and a good chuckle. You were trolling...in that you were posting with the intent to draw a negative reaction out of those you clearly KNEW you could get a reaction from...

And on the other side of things...All you who are grumbling about how the world is out to get us and how we are being targeted and no body likes RPers is hogwash. The opinions expressed in this thread represent a small minority of the population who are vocal enough to express their opinions on the Lodestone. A Majority of the Besaid and gaming community is indifferent to rpers and are more than happy to let us go along our merry way and do as we please.

As it should be.

Now as this thread has no real purpose why not let it die? No use kicking a dead horse right?

[Pim-ptarutaruOdin]

I voted for OP's post. Not because I support RPers, but because I support congregating as many of them away from me as possible.

lol agreed
