I voiced issues that I felt needed be addressed. I felt that some chars were definitely pushing the boundary of OP with their powers as well as a description by yours truly of one being ' pretty much godly'. My concerns WERE in fact discussed, in some length, I might add, with Jen.
I think perhaps you have some issue with a char you have such a personal stake in being scrutinized. Your Vylrath is not the only char here with history nor should his history allow him to tread upon rules set forth at the creation of the site. If I see an issue, I will not hesitate to question, regardless of your or anyone else's feelings. I respect all the creative minds here enough to feel free in being honest and stating what I see to be right. If you do not agree with me, that's fine. Do as you will.
Obviously whatever issues I had were not enough to get me to leave. Do not think to tell me what my motivations are. I think for myself, thank you.
If you're rping to please everyone, then you're in this for all the wrong reasons. This is storytelling, no? The telling of the story is then paramount, not what anyone thinks of it. That is for the audience to decide, whether or not they are satisfied with your efforts. Something you have no real control over whatsoever.
I'm not being aggressive in this, merely clarifying my stance for those who seem to have labeled me some sort of firebrand. I'm not going anywhere and if someone is going to pull some crap and call gold, I'll certainly call it as I see it.
Btw, I definitely messaged Jen over the chronomancy BEFORE introducing Slyail, stating that it was a largely inert power and one he'd have to learn to control. Even introduced a definitive limit to its use and some very ill effects to it. And it has never been applied...the idea was more or less abandoned.
