Re: Cooling off period
Okay, I'm not really good at reading posts sometimes. And I sure am not good when my emotions up and I'm in a hurry. So I apologize if I don't get everything here.
First: I will say that Joanna is a very strong and forceful player. Some might call that pushy, but I love her perspective and sense of story. The one time she stepped in to rework a storyline with me, she did it with tact and it worked. Not everyone likes that, I admit. I've spent enough time stepping on toes to appreciate when someone tells me what they are doing rather than just doing it.
I won't say anything about the comments. I loved the interplay in that thread, and it was an awful lot more interesting than Becky mooning over the Marshal and playing little ol' me. Self-styled lawmen and working girls clash. That's what happens.
My experience in email and play by mail and all that is that we say awfully hurtful things real easy by typing this stuff. Its why I hate Facebook these days. Its so easy to jump in and just spout, like I did earlier. I don't hate Mav (Steve), nor am I unhappy that Doc doesn't want me to play Clementine and God knows I wish I could be as eloquent as Joanna and Cyrus' player.
So I leave it to the principals. If you can get along on this, I will try my darndest to make this the best game here, even if I have to play unsafe characters. I love you both, and respect that you both could air your issues here.
