This is silly and I can't believe I have to say something about it, but here we are.

Interaction has to be mutual. If you are bombarding someone with posts/comments/PMs/whatever trying to get their attention and it is clearly unwanted, cut it the fuck out.

Spamming someone's profile with a bunch of cut and paste nonsense because they aren't giving you the attention you want is stupid. That isn't roleplaying. No one else even sees it unless they know it's there, you're just harassing someone one on one. No one is required to sell for you if they don't want to, outside of treating canon XWF events as such. Matches, etc.

Furthermore, in case anyone is unfamiliar with the term "godmodding," what it refers to is taking full control over someone else's IC character or universe and doing with it what you see fit, without any consent or input from anyone else. Such as, I don't know, let me just think of something off the top of my head at random, BURNING SOMEONE'S GOD DAMN HOUSE DOWN.

Think about this: if I just decide one day to post a segment where I show up to James Raven's house and murder his family, sell his kids into slavery, and rape his dog... should he have to sell it for me if he doesn't want to? No. That's and I probably have mental issues.

So - if your character's whole gimmick is "post a bunch of threads begging for attention" - that's fine. Knock yourself out. But don't assume anyone is REQUIRED to give you that attention. Hell, maybe THEIR character's IC response is to ignore you because they know it's bothering you. MAYBE that is part of the story. But once it crosses over to IRL annoyances like a dozen comment alerts a day or repeated PMs, that's an issue. Once it turns into godmodding where you're causing changes to someone's story without their permission, that's an issue.

And frankly, some of you should know better.

Thanks.

What started off as something interesting turned into some random dude forcing himself into my world and crying about me not selling it the way HE wanted MY character to act and, ended up with you trying to drastically change my character without my consent, much less my input. Only reason that's getting sold as much as it is is because Kenzi is a better person than I am. If you want to tell a story then how about actually telling a story and putting something on the line like...oh I don't know...cutting promos for matches? If you aren't going to do that, then go bug someone else with this crap. I literally only log on here now to submit matches and promos because I'm so tired of seeing 27 comments on my page.

Quote:Sorry dude but all I wanted was a 1 on 1 in public and I would have left you alone. Thats all. I'll stop with the comments in here, in this section but won't stop on the forum until I get that 1 on 1. Sorry to piss you off so much.

I didn't think what I was doing was changing someones character or character's universe and like I said all I wanted was a public 1 on 1 conversation. Not a match because we all know who'll win there.

I had fun doing what I was doing, and sort of got egged on by others, so I got too out of controlled and for that I apologize.

Sorry Sarah, Sorry too to her Handler.

You shall be left alone as of right now.

I figured there must have at least been some coordination between all of them if it went that far after the fact, but if it was genuinely unwanted they probably should have pumped the breaks as soon as that segment aired? Instead of play along at all? I dunno.

As a guy who likes to do random IC posts myself and stir shit up, I really liked the idea of other people possibly doing the same and sparking more activity and more thinking outside of the box. I know you remember how fun it was back in the day when we'd have dozens of threads and back-and-forths going on outside of RPs. This thread today just struck me as "damn, there goes that hope" to some extent. Now Soldier and I have to post even more insane BS to make up for the loss!

What would the endgame be if on-show interaction isn't the goal? I'm all for forum back and forth, but IMO it serves to be asupplement for the main crux of the fed,

The end game was to make Sarah do something she didn't want to do, to be in control of something for once other than be controlled by her. I know this is a game. I know this is supposed to be make believe and all that fun and stuff, but once you got Sarahed, I'll call it that, a couple of times, once she starts controlling the issues, and the game, and to a point feeling like you've been victimized, you can't go back and will always be laughed and made fun of... by Sarah, and then the rest of the crowd.

I just wanted her to feel what I felt. To just give a little bit of control over for once and then I would have easily felt the satisfaction of at least temporary having a little bit of control and just move on from there, and leave well alone.

Now I know that may sound harsh that I called it being victimized, but at the end of the day it haunts you. And you feel for a few days well, that's that then. My characters being made fun of and there's no coming back from that. And others will forever see you as the weak link going on from that, and jump on the bandwagon.

Like I said I took it too far and I apologize. I became the bully.

Now I'm not saying Sarah's a bully. I just felt like she was. I just wanted a bit of pay back so I took it too far, and I'll stop.

Just don’t fucking do it again, THM. You likely wouldn’t do it to a male character, so don’t let your biases creep into this fake world. Be better. Lacklan has a kickass character that is good enough to get under people’s skin. You weren’t bullied, you played the e-fed game and couldn’t handle it, because it was a female character.

Baker Street or something.
