Re: OOC V: At the Courts of Chaos
Okay guys, I've read everything here. I'm going to apologize everyone present within this discussion simply for it being made public. I will admit to having an ulterior motive here. I realized whatever explosion that would happen after would affect the community as a whole and so I wanted to keep it that way; as much as I am a fan of the police-state authoritarian way of running things I'm also a fan of total transference. I don't how I handled it, but I do regret having to do so. Sorry.
Second of all, some clarification: maybe it was because I was overtired or something but I never meant to imply that Max would lose two whole Degrees - the stance was that he'd lose one whole Degree plus whatever he lost for meta-gaming before. Sorry about that mix up.
Third, another apology towards Max. I was overtired, I over-reacted. I still don't regret the punishment - we both fucked up there, let's be realistic - but I've dropped it to THIRTY PERCENT PENALTY if you now do everything Ruse asks for you. And you are to make a promise to yourself that you will make an effort not to metagame in the future. It's often unavoidable - everyone does it in small ways - but it has become a large problem. I've promised not to overreact again.
I'd also like that apology to me. I'm hurt by your outbursts here and in Kookhe. Especially in Kookhe. If you meant them, then you have no place here or in any further game I run. If you didn't, apologise, and we can return to being brothers again. :)
Also, for clarification, yes, your powers all work through me. Which is part of the reason you summoning the Logos - which, while you were slightly correct in that you might be getting a Logos, you were completely off in the how and why part of things - annoyed me so much. Just the fact that you were getting it was me working through your powers. You still can, if we clear all this up. In addition you are never to claim that you are quitting again. That tactic is immensely childish, power-hungry and has left a bad taste in my mouth ever since Metatron. Express your displeasure with me; claim that if we can't sort it out you'll have to leave; but don't just rant and quit.
I will, however, continue to fine percentage for metagaming (and otherwise offensive) posts. I'm not going to be a Nazi about it - most of the time it's an honest mistake - but yeah, everyone just be careful.
In addition, Max, you are to give your honest thanks to Ruse. He is the only one that saved your arse. I knew that you were bluffing when you spoke about quitting the game, but it was Ruse that made me see the light. You owe the guy a massive debt; he's been looking after you for as long as I can recall.
If there are no further problems, then why don't we all e-hug it out. If there are.. I'm listening.
