honestly, enough... - Banned Dana - 04-14-2006
I'm getting a bit irked at the fact that people are going in and rating my training under a fricken 5. Seriously, enough, grow up. I understand that a bunch of people are a little pissy becuase I didn't do shit the way that they wanted me to, but enough is enough.
Sure ratings don't mean shit to you, good, great, grand, wonderful. It's kind of an ego killer to go in and see two thumbs down on a post that I'm working as hard as I can on. If you don't like the post, don't read it, there is absolutely no reason as to why you need to go and fuck around with my stuff like that.
If you hate me, to damned bad. This is a game, grow the hell up. And yes, I'm sure those of you that I'm speaking of know whom I'm talking about, so there is absolutely no need to point any fingers.
Yeah, this may come off as a bit immature myself, but when I push myself to rp the way I have been and I come online just to see that the rating has dropped, it's kind of a progression killer. If you don't like me, then don't read my shit, but don't stood so low as to have to go degrade my works. I know that I'm far from being the best on this site, but I enjoy my writing and I personally feel it's better than a 1 rating. If you honestly think that it's that low, I'd really like for whomever rated it that badly to post here, with their reason and a link to an RP that surpasses everything that is in that, one of which they have posted as of recently, then and only then will I excuse you for it. Otherwise, back the hell off, if you've got a personal vandetta with me, keep it to your damned self, I'm seriously sick of this.

You know that this is exactly why people do stuff like that, right?
EDIT: There, I rated away one of the thumbs down. I'm sure if someone else gives it another '10' everything will be fine and dandy.
EDIT the second: Ok... whatever.

meh...after talking to Violet, she shed some light on the subject.
Don't care anymore, go ahead lock this, delete it, do whatever.
Bring it on guys, let's get some more 1 ratings in there, I'm sure we haven't seen the last of them.
*shakes head*

Everyone needs to vent a bit, I guess. But my 2 cents in here, is that its probably someone being cute or something. Ratings are for show. Just fuck what everyone thinks. If you enjoy writing, then go on with your bad self, and if no one likes it, then they don't have to read it. you are doing it for you, not no one else. When you write for everyone else, you lose context and meaning in your writing.
Why do you think I am so damn random in my posts sometimes? I know there is probably alot of players that thinks my writing sucks super balls, but I do not care one little tinkers damn about it. Violet is my way of releasing ideas into word form, acting out a world that is not possible for me in real life. Basically, Violet lives through my writing. And yeah, it gets wierd. yeah, it gtes sucky sometimes. I have had my low times, I have had my high times. But I write mainly for me, and not really for anyone else. Selfish? no.

I would laugh if somebody actually thought the score was appropriate. =\
Also, what does them providing a roleplay of theirs prove? Any attempt at a sig of mine turns out horrible, but I know how I like 'em.

nothing, I realized how stupid it sounded after I read it, sounded good in my head though. =P

I think that what he meant by that is if that person or persons can do better, he wants them to back themselves up with that. if they can do that, I guess they can vote however they want. *shrug* my opinion anyways...
honestly, enough... - Hellfighter 17 - 04-14-2006
Yea, that's what I thought he meant, which is why I used my sig example.

I got ya HF, it's kind of what Violet made me think about.
Personally, i would never rate someone's RP under a 7, if I believed that it was...I simply wouldn't rate it.
honestly, enough... - Hellfighter 17 - 04-14-2006
Yea, but then that's getting polite critiquing, which is stupid, in my opinion, of course. That's like if somebody asks for advice, and if they almost always do great work, but this one sucked, you might go "It was alright, you just need to work on here and here," when it would be better to say "That sucked, but here's some pointers."
I think a big part of roleplaying in a community is becoming a better writer, which would need a person to confront their weaknesses, and if they live in lala land, why would they think they have any?

I guess I see your point, my problem is that I think that it mostly is dealing with some past issues and they're still sour attitudes. Violet's got me thinking that it's possible that it's not, but you can't help but wonder. If people don't like it, I really don't mind some critism here and there, if there is someone, or some people that are reading it and would like to see a bit change or some additions, they are more than welcome to pm their ideas to me and I'll see if I can work them into it.
honestly, enough... - Hellfighter 17 - 04-14-2006
Well, if you don't mind that, and if it is people just being jerks, then it has no reflection on your writing, I don't see where the trouble arises.

Yeah...it was a brief moment of anger that got the best of me. I was detered from writing cause of it and it usually takes a bit to do that. Perhaps I'm just tired...awkward work schedule and all, threw my sleep off and what not...not that it really matters or anything, just an excuse.
In a nut shell.
What people have said that's changed my mind.
Rad: This only cuases people do to things like this.
Violet: Enjoy writing for yourself, not for others.
HF: It's just a rating.
BJ(not from tonight, but still in there): If they don't like you, fuck em...fuck em twice.
Must obliged if this would now be locked, though it can stay open if you guys don't feel like locking it. lol, either way, my whole ordeal has been extinguished...my moment of attention whore is over.
