So an OOC argument was made within her character to break the wall of shitty RPers.
Does her opinion reflect OOCly though? No. Not in the slightest. And part of me wishes I didn't have to make her so childish and stubborn in the first place.
But as said; shitty RPers.
Pardon my EVElike bluntness but... what?
If you're dealing with, as you perceive it, a "shitty group" of RPers, and at the same time see yourself above such a thing, why use a shitty tactic? I really don't get it, Isis. I mean, I know enough toknow you busted your ass to set up somethign very cool that would have enhanced the RP community
as a whole, but your entrey was somethign so alienating as to leave a group of people (namely, EVE players first, RPers second) to leave themselves thinking that you're, for lack of a better term, a bitter player with a full intent to troll and insult the very community - or people within it - who would have been interacting with anything that you spent hours/days creating. I remember the website you made for what can and will be an awesome RP location in a community that, in my opinion, is nearly starving for more local "public" locations other than the smalltalk of the Summit, and it seems that your introduction was little more than a bitter angry and pretty close to (if not outright) hostile reaction to the very people that would be attending.
Backstage isn't some singular clique of superfriends in a mutual appreciation society, despite what anyone else may whisper about it in private channels, it is a large swath of players from
many cliques - some who interact, some who lurk and simply read and keep an eye on what everyone else is doing. As an example, I probably RP with any consistently maybe half of a dozen of the people here, and there are certainly more than half a dozen posting, and many, many more reading.
Coming in swinging was one of the worst tactics you could have taken on the matter. You arrived assuming everyone hated you, and expressed the opinion that you hated everyone else.
I've known you before all this nonsense, and this is not the person you are. Hell, you're on my Skype, and that's one of two whole people who have my Skype info from EVE.
It may be the person your
character is to act in a certain manner, but unless my judgement of your personal character is wrong (as in OOC), this is definitely not the person you are. No one here as far as I am aware was going to jump on you. No one had any prejudices about you before you arrived. In fact, long before you arrived here Backstage and were posting on IGS I was
defending you in the channels that you despise and pointing out that this is your character, and not yourself.
Again, unless I am a horrific judge of character, you punched out, by accident, a large group of innocent people who had no preconcieved notions OOC as to who you are.
Call this tough love hon. This is not some closed circle of elistist egotistical assholes who want to hurt people for fun. Treating EVE players that way though is a pretty well known way to create a self fulfilling prophecy.
