"One Universe" Marvel & DC Crossover RPG!

[twylight]

Thank you.

 

[wiegeabo]

Not a problem.

A little webbing from spidey for Fury, and a boom tube from Tony, we're good to go.

 

[twylight]

Sorry
Had to have the last Word I so rarely get to use Dinah's power.


SF it's open for you now.

 

[SuperFerret]

Well, that was rather anti-climactic, now wasn't it?

Oh, and I seriously think there needs to be a big pow-wow among the GMs in this game to determine just what went on, and still is going on with the management of this game.

You need to elaborate a little more on that before we can do anything Ferret

If you think the problem is with the GM's, then a meeting of the GM's won't really do much will it? lol maybe we should have a meeting with everybody if the majority of players have concerns.

also, for the record, nobody forced LT to leave, the higher powers just wanted him to change his attitude in regards to some things. He is welcome to come back whenever he wants.

 

[taskmaster]

So, um, what the hell is going on? What did I miss?

 

[twylight]

You didn't miss anything. Just turn your head the other way and avoid the carnage.

 

[Sparta*]

So where did the heroes land? Did they end up at Tony Stark's mansion or somewhere totally unrelated?

 

[wiegeabo]

Huh. I didn't think of that. I just assumed the mansion.

Might be funny if they landed somewhere else because Tony was in a rush. Like the middle of Time Square during rush hour? Or maybe Xavier's school (which would be something for Juggernaut).

 

[Sparta*]

lol yeah that would be funny

I was just wondering because Reed is still at Tony's mansion...

 

[Red]

Alot can happen when i'm offline for a few hours.

I'm not really happy how things turned up. I would try to resolve it properly, but I fear the damage has already been done.

 

[Keyser Soze]

What the hell is wrong with this RPG? DO you ALWAYS have to be fighting?

It seems like whenever I spend a night off the Internet, I always have to come back and survey the carnage. Red X and twylight, I congratulate you for handling the situation in a mature manner. I know this is after the fact, like last time (some job as a mod I'm doing ) but I really think I need to say this.

Your treatment of LibrarianThorne was pretty despicable. Sure, LT is highly opiniated, but personally I'd rather see someone actively contributing, trying to improve the RPG, than someone who doesn't give a crap. He made a pretty fair statement - having Sabretooth, in the midst of a serious situation, take a piss off a roof is just stupid. It would be the equivalent of, in my next post, having Lex Luthor walk away from the Captain America/Deadpool post and have him piss on a homeless guy he sees sitting in the corner. Sure, it may be good for a cheap laugh. It may be a simple way of saying "Oooooooh, that Lex Luthor is a nasty piece of work". But it would be blatantly out of character, and out of context in the situation.

And if someone like twylight had been the first to comment on what shall now be known as Pissgate p ) I'm sure Victor Creed would have apologised and edited. But the fact is, because LibrarianThorne got on the bad side of some mods earlier, he's been unfairly villified. Victor Creed responded with insults and petty name-calling, something that he would not have gotten away with if he had attacked any other player in this RPG. But not only did he get away with it, but when Sparta intervened, he made it out to be LibrarianThorne's fault!

I'm sorry, that just leaves a bad taste in my mouth. Read the posts from both players. LT sticks to commenting on the RPG itself, and the flaws with Victor Creed's post. Victor Creed responded with PERSONAL attacks. Sparta, you're an AGM, so it's your job to look past personal prejudice and resolve a situation. You stepped in and made it worse.

The fact is that LT is NOT just a moron nitpicking at other people's posts and acting in his own interests. He was one of the most important players in the RPG. Who kickstarted the party at Oliver Queen's house, the first story in the RPG to bring most players together in one setting? LibrarianThorne. And when the RPG was on the brink of death, who brought it back to life with the Darkseid invasion story? LibrarianThorne. And I think that with him gone, the RPG is only going to suffer.

 

[Red]

I've PM'ed all involved and i'm going to (as Captain America would say) deal with it.

 

[wiegeabo]

I like the idea of our heroes not winding up back in Stark's mansion. As if he didn't have time to get the coordinates right. So I was thinking I'd make a post with Jay realizing that they wound up somewhere else. We'd learn they're at Xavier's school (which would be good for Logan, and really good for Jugsy since that's where he was originally headed).

And with Twi gone, I was thinking that instead of bunnying Dinah, she could just be drained from holding back Darkseid, and X would give her shelter in the mansion until she had recovered. Also gives Jay and Tony a chance to be worried (and maybe have a good argument?).

May also give our characters a good chance ot interact with a lot of mutant NPC's.

 

[Sparta*]

Keyser, Victor and OC didn't say anything rude to LT in anyway, they were only talking about their post, then LT posted this out of the blue

It was still really, really crass and unfunny. Yet, I shouldn't really expect much more, should I?

What he said was rude, and uncalled for. If he had a problem with the post, he could have tried to talk it over in a humane matter instead of instantly making it personal and taking cheap shots. I usually agree with you Keyser, but I don't this time. I stepped in because of LT's attitude...not because of his position on the post. Victor and OC even said that they wouldn't have had a problem editting the post, but instead of asking them to nicely, LT freaked out on them. If that's how hes going to be, I don't care how good of a poster he was. Sure OC/Creed's post was kinda gross, but LT handled the situation totally wrong.

 

[twylight]

He just said he shouldn't have expected more? He didn't make it personal at all.

This is getting ridiculous.

Yes, LT responded rather with an attitude problem but you can't ignore the fact that because of other arguments in the RPG he's rather touchy.

Nor can you go around coercing people to stop posting.

If this were any other thread we'd all be warned for flaming and this thread would be closed.

This is STILL HYPE! We'd still fall under the rules of Hype!

I respectfully ask, as a player not a GM, that Creed, Olcanuckle and Sparta to step back from this argument until everything is resolved. It's not healthy to have this RPG fighting.

 

[Sparta*]

Why does everyone assume i'm fighting? I'm just discussing...am I not allowed to discuss things...? If you want me to step back from the 'arguement' Twy, I will...even though there isn't really an arguement.

 

[Keyser Soze]

Twylight, you are right in everything you say, as usual. However, I want to demonstrate my point to Sparta. I respect your opinion, of course, but I have to disagree with your...disagreement.

For example, here is the post LibrarianThorne made to explain his initial criticism, which you quoted in your post:

I'm perfectly fine with people doing something I don't like. But you don't think it interrupts the narrative flow to have all of these heroes running around and doing things while Sabretooth, for no explicable reason, decides to take a piss off of the castle?

You know what I should have done, in character? Had Darkseid zap 'Tooth for being so disrespectful. I didn't. There's a lot of things I could gripe about, a lot of things I think could have been done better, but I don't comment on those. I comment on outright stupidity. That post is completely and utterly worthless.

Now, I know Creed is probably irked that the platform for him crumbled. If he wanted me to change that, there's better ways to go about it than making a stupid, out of character post.

Look, if I'm interacting with anyone, and I make a post they disagree with, you want to know how they should go about telling me to change it? They should PM me like a civilized human being. You don't need to get all ticked off and angry about it, because then you post angry and then I get all ticked off and angry and the cycle just goes on.

Here, LibrarianThorne goes into great detail to explain his grievance, in the context of the RPG. He offers a resolution, and tries to calm tensions down by saying we shouldn't get angry. The strongest words here were "Stupid, out of character post". And to note, he is calling the post stupid, not Victor Creed.

Now look at the wording of Victor Creed's response:

Hey jackass, if you read the original post, OC was the one who had me pissing off the tower to begin with so there goes that argument. As for the out of character comment, I dont think you are getting this through your mind....you dont decide what the character does, that is up to the person who is playing that character. As far as the getting ticked off and angry, I'm only ticked off because you seem to have a problem with people posting something on a weekly basis. Who's the next person to piss you off?

We start off with name-calling, "jackass". Immediately establishes a disrespectful tone, and says "this isn't about the game, this is about my dislike for you." As soon as you do that, you are disregarding the integrity of the game to pursue a personal agenda. In the entire post, there was about 2 sentences relating to the game itself. The rest was a character assassination of LibrarianThorne as a player and as a person. I just don't think that's acceptable.

 

[Sparta*]

Alright Keyser, point accepted. Twy asked me not to carry this on any further, and I have too much respect for you as a friend to get into any arguement that could detriment that.

 

[twylight]

Why does everyone assume i'm fighting? I'm just discussing...am I not allowed to discuss things...? If you want me to step back from the 'arguement' Twy, I will...even though there isn't really an arguement.

You keep trying to have the last word....Keyser brought up great points and it was reason to think about it, yet you had to snap back with some attempt to say that LT started it.

I beg to differ.

As Kesyers said would they have done that to anyother player playing Darkseid?
If Keyser was playing Darkseid you think either Creed or Onuckle would have done that with his character?

SuperFerret?
Master Bruce?
Me?


Ask yourself honestly, would they have done the same to anyone else playing Darkseid?

I beg to differ that no, they wouldn't. They did it because they knew it would get a rise out of LT, and it did.
Because of his past experience on the RPG he's touchy, who wouldn't be?
I LEFT the Marvel RPG a few seasons ago because of this exact reason.

Give him the benefit of the doubt, he acted fairly well when they refused to change it, he didn't call them names or curse or use crude language.


Creed did however:

You know, when someone has a sense of humor and doesn't get all pissy, no pun intended, whenever someone does something else they don't agree with. But hey, maybe every character youve had a problem with will become available next "season" and you can have the RPG all to yerself, cuz I'm really gettin tired of yer ****. Your whining about everything is making posting on this thread lose all of its fun.

Judging from yer choice of character and attitude thus far, you seem to have some sort of control issues.

and LT answered admirably given the circumstances.

But you know what? Red X told them to stop and LT did. Guess who didn’t? Creed.


I've already requested that Eli come and handle thing. Mostly because of the PM OC sent out and halfway becasue the one GM that was on, no one payed attention to him.

**EDIT
Dude...Keyser..you're stealin' my thunder.

*nice post*

 

[Sparta*]

Alright Keyser, point accepted. Twy asked me not to carry this on any further, and I have too much respect for you as a friend to get into any arguement that could detriment that.

Incase you failed to see Twy, i'm trying to take your advice and not get involved anymore...so why don't you respectfully back off?

 

[twylight]

I didn't see your post till I posted.

I thought you'd have noticed that since I didn't see Keysers either, but I think now you know what I mean about having the last word.

If you'd like I can edit.

 

[Sparta*]

I'm not trying to have the last word, i'm just responding to what is being said about me...if you classify that as "HAVING to have the last word" then so be it.

If you post something that ends the arguement, instead of something that eggs me on, this wouldn't happen. I am done with this "arguement". If you don't post something that requires me to defend myself, then it can be over.

EDIT- Just read Twy's edit about editting (lol) No you don't have to edit anything Twy, I just want the real matters at hand to be discussed...and thats the situation between OC, Creed, and LT...not me or my position on the matter because that is irrelovant in the grand scheme of things.

 

[twylight]

I'm not egging you on. You have the decision to end this discussion.

My post said nothing that Keyser's didn't say so why attack me and accuse me of egging you on? I'm sorry I was typing while you and Keyser were posting. I'll try not to do that in the future.


Alright, I'm off and I hopefully leave the RPG in the capable hands of Keyser, MB and Red X.


Although, I'm sure one of OC's long unparagraphed posts will be forthcoming.

 

[Sparta*]

I'm not egging you on. You have the decision to end this discussion

Okay then. Discussion over. Sorry for side-tracking the thread yet again everybody.

(I don't mean for this to be the 'last word' I just wanted to end this discussion so I don't have to be involved anymore)
