Remember Ameri? Basically you're being him right now, exactly like him, but more literate. In our TG, you actually did hit the nail on the head when you said that because I (and everyone else) expected to see you as a brat, we would read your posts that way. In the past few days, you yourself admitted you were acting like a spoiled child throwing a temper tantrum. It will take a while for you to rebuild and heal that reputation among everyone here. So for a while, go by the Ameri Rule I had set up- if you have nothing positive to say in a thought out and non-sarcastic manner, do not say anything. You need to heal your reputation here in my eyes and everyone else's.
Little hard not to be bitter when I'm losing two Arcs worth of character development over petty bullshit, but where Ameri would continue shouting his message from the highest rooftops I'm going to go watch music videos and try to figure out how to salvage a character that has been derailed literally to Hell and back and still fit it in with my plans.
Or continue being a bitter sarcastic asshole, just not here. Anyone up for a round or two of that insane board game?
If you're referring to the dude from James' flashback, congrats, I now have more reason to write a novel-length rundown of James' shenanigans during the two-year timeskip.
I fucking hate writing novels.

You said you were here mostly to stay friends with us and only partially for James. Then prove it. Get over it, move on. And in my honest opinion? Destroy your plans. Burn them to the ground and progress from what you have now. Basically, move on and forget what could have been. Focus on what is.

Berlusconi just fucked up things again, and now we're having another election in 2 months, most likely, here in Italy.
I'm not asking for anything special, but some encouragement, please

1/5 of the Indian Parliament has criminal charges. Feel better?

You keep saying that like your wish will bend reality and completely change the way I do, well, everything. I plan. That's me. That's what I do, whether it be writing or working or playing video games. I'm a planner, and when someone tells me to stop trying to plan things it's like telling a white supremacist to maybe not be so racist. I've usually got plans within plans, and try to plan for multiple outcomes.
What I can't plan for is my character suddenly poofing out of existence right at the climax of his story. The end of Arc 2, especially with Arc 3 being the end of EH2, was going to be where everything for James came together.
So telling me to toss all that hard work away? Do you have any fucking clue how hard that hits? How deeply? Having to write around events and incorporate them into the greater narrative is one thing, and I've been doing that ever since Arc 1. Being told that all of it no longer matters, that my story means nothing when I've been working my ass off to include elements like the DH-verse, Jade's death, the Cairo mission, and never having many chances at incorporating flashbacks because nobody has ever asked the question "what happened to James after he left the school?" is the same to me as being told that I'm not wanted or welcomed.
As for Sanchez: When he's the only normal human who's treated as an equal to wizards, he gets really old and really annoying fast.
Posted: Mon Feb 25, 2013 11:44 pmAm I the only one around here that likes Sanchez?
Well, that's awkward.
Well, that's awkward.
Posted: Mon Feb 25, 2013 11:46 pmI like him, I just think he's overplayed to the point of boredom.

Dear god no. You need to get rid of them now! Mormons are an invasive species!
Posted: Mon Feb 25, 2013 11:56 pm@Agri: I have no idea what any of that means, but you'll get through it I'm sure.
@Nightkill: Cally for best. For worst... No idea, really. I guess I'm just that much of an accepting person..

Yes, it's terrible and it sucks horribly. I may not understand it to your level since I rarely plan in rps (with life it's a different story), but what I do understand is that you need to accept the punishment, stiffen that upper lip and move on with it. It does not mean you're not wanted or welcomed, but it does mean you need to accept the authority and the judgement of such. You're a military-loving guy, yes, you want to be a soldier? Then take your order and move on about it.
Now, I am glad you did swallow your pride and I am especially glad you managed to make that post without any blatant sarcasm. That's a good progression right there and it'll go a long way, especially as I am probably too forgiving for my own good.

First off, the being a soldier thing died a long time ago.
Secondly, I have accepted it. Acceptance doesn't include liking it.
