Define your meaning of war
I want to see Ponyo. It looks amazing and cute.
So I ventured to the place that someone opinionated as I should never go. Yes, I went to RPS. I want to say that I am pleased to see more positive/constructive secrets there. But then you have those where you just want to grab the secret poster and scream WHY DON'T YOU ASK MANAGEMENT THIS QUESTION. Because seriously, bitching about an RP's system to a bunch of people who don't play the game is really going to get the change you want. That is, of course, assuming you actually want change and are not posting merely for the sake of wah wah bitching. Second, I reaffirm my point that people in one RP should not denounce the way another RP does things. That is stupid. It doesn't affect you. Get bent. Each game has their system for a reason. Whether app decisions are "democratic" or involve mods deep cave-diving the Wiki or wild expeditioning to find a friend who actually knows a canon, it is the playerbase's choice to submit to the system. Whether people want to use first-person in their [ ] descriptions or whether they want to write entire third-person narratives, again playerbase decision. Whether people want to call their RP charas "muses," "pups" or "flying midget monkeys that live in my brain", their decision. Now, as this is a free society, people have the RIGHT to say what they want. But as so many have said, just because you CAN doesn't mean you SHOULD. It's a nice rule to think about when quelling those "But I wanna be a biiiiiiiiiiiiiiitch" feelings.
Also, I apologize to anyone if I've seemed a restless bitch lately, I am struggling with something and that always makes me cranky. Maybe I will actually accomplish it tonight and resume normalcy.
