Saga Response - A Continuation

For those following the silly Saga there has been no in game response but there is another blog post response to read. If you are not into spoilers read it first before continuing. I know many have been amused.

I received no in game response and doubt that I will be making a direct blog post response to him. After reading what he wrote I realized that I did not do a good enough job expressing my lack of interest intermixed with my distaste for his approach. I should have added, "please go away" but I was to busy being clever and cute.

His reaction to send me a response crafted around my obvious desire for him and to treat me as a gold digger after his stuff left a sour taste about this entire thing. I'm sure many will find it well done and amusing. I know that it is all roleplay. I still find it incredibly disappointing that his reaction moved in that direction with a third party screen.

So, I've been put in my place over the entire thing. I find it rather sad that the response is to make sure I know that it is cute that I think so much of myself but a clear indicator that he is so amazing. Especially for someone that has been acting weird as hell and making statements that hover over my personal insult threshold and only stayed over it because of the joking nature. Only that joking nature is obviously going to stay where it is and my place inside of this particular saga as he writes it is not to be any type of strong, independent spirit. Nope, its 'quaint' in his own words. I'm terribly disappointed and a bit insulted. But, this was never about me. I was target for his creativity and passive or active I am but a piece of scenery in this story.

If I receive no in game response I will not move further. I had hoped for some type of fun, if silly exchange of creativity. I'm disappointed but I have no one but myself to blame for not crafting a better response.

Oh well. Not everything turns into a work of interconnected poetry.

  1. That's how RP works. He's playing a character that just isn't going to react the way you would like and you're not likely to change that. Probably time to give his character the kiss-off, which would be completely justifiable within the context of the RP (and something I'd bet happens to him more than a few times).

    I do find it odd, though, that he seems to be continuing the RP out of game. I used to RP online back in the day, and the convention always was that any RP happened in-game or it didn't happen.

    1. To be picky he distanced his character by making a new one to respond. RP isn't my thing. I hoped with all the voices and enthusiasm I was in the wrong. So I tried something new and found it distasteful, disappointing, and degrading.

      I'm glad other people enjoy this. Its not for me.

    2. Sue Derpantsoff! Oh he just busted out Sue. Sue is a constant thorn in my side when interacting with the Great Lhorenzho. Many sympathies. Can't believe he has Sue involved .... *shakes head*

    3. Haha Would you expect any less from the old man MB? :P

  2. Just a few comments from a casual and entertained observer...

    I liked your response to Lhorenzho; you really came across as the ice-cold Pirate Queen you claimed to be! Well written and well acted - that's they key thing with RP - it's acting.

    From your writing in this blog I can see that you invest a lot of yourself as a player in the Sugar Kyle avatar. In contrast, Lhorenzho's player is acting out his narcissistic, batshit insane capsuleer for the entertainment of himself and the audience.

    Sometimes these two playstyles don't quite gel together - as a somewhat extreme example, look at the RP'ing New Order and their opponents who claim that they must be cultists / fascists / sociopaths in RL.

    I think if you distanced yourself and acted out the Pirate Queen you'd enjoy it, if only for the exercise in creative writing, which you've clearly got a talent for!

    :)

It was a random question that I knew the answer of. I have 'Sugar' as a keyword so it highlights green and catches my attention. This made me chuckle. Maybe I'll have to go and see what it is like to shoot a ship one day? I could not help but smile. Basi suggested that I put my Titan killmail in my bio and assert my badassery. I figure, naw. It was a roll of the dice that landed me that kill mail. It doesn't define me as a person. Bios are interesting. The idea of a biography is a way to personalize your account. You can learn a lot about a person by what they choose to put in their bio

Taboo Questions

Let us talk contentious things. What about high sec? When will CCP pay attention to high sec and those that cannot spend their time in dangerous space?  This is somewhat how the day started, sparked by a question from an anonymous poster. Speaking about high sec, in general, is one of the hardest things to do. The amount of emotion wrapped around the topic is staggering. There are people who want to stay in high sec and nothing will make them leave. There are people who want no one to stay in high sec and wish to cripple everything about it. There are people in between, but the two extremes are large and emotional in discussion. My belief is simple. If a player wishes to live in high sec, I do not believe that anything will make them leave that is not their own curiosity. I do not believe that we can beat people out of high sec or destroy it until they go to other areas of space. Sometimes, I think we forget that every player has the option to not log back in. We want them to log

Conflicted

Halycon said it quite well in a comment he left about the skill point trading proposal for skill point changes. He is conflicted in many different ways. So am I. Somedays, I don't want to be open minded. I do not want to see other points of view. I want to not like things and not feel good about them and it be okay. That is something that is denied me for now. I've stated my opinion about the first round of proposals to trade skills. I don't like them. That isn't good enough. I have to answer why. Others do not like it as well. I cannot escape over to their side and be unhappy with them. I am dragged away and challenged about my distaste.  Some of the people I like most think the change is good. Other's think it has little meaning. They want to know why I don't like it. When this was proposed at the CSM summit, I swiveled my chair and asked if they realized that they were undoing the basic structure that characters and game progression worked under. They said th
