Electrocaine. | Well, the weirdness that has become my life continues. The last week feels more like a month. I'm not sure if that's a good or a bad thing.
I now apparently have a stalker. You know, the type of person that you meet once in person and who decides that they want to follow you around and harass you constantly.
2005: Year of the Stalker. The headline of my year.
Perhaps I should stop attending so many parties. In the last two weeks, I've met more people and consumed more illegal substances than I care to remember - it has been fun, but somehow I seem to make contact with the weirdest people on Earth. I wonder why.
Anyway, that aside, I have to admit that things have generally been pretty good. Obviously the underlying issues are there, but somehow I feel that I am in better command of myself at the moment. Sometimes you have to teach yourself not only how to say 'no', but also, how to say 'yes'. You know?
In terms of the 'net, Wonka Inc. has been doing okay. I have to admit, I had wanted people to go a bit further with their sign-ups. Aiyisha's hits the mark most deliciously (so yes, feel free to use hers as a good example). I think people are still a bit worried about crossing some kind of line - but rest assured, there is no line to cross.
So if anyone wants to edit their sign-ups and push them a bit further, that'd be nice. And if you are not yet aware that this RPG has launched in the Inn, well, now you know. The morbidly curious (curiously morbid?) are welcome.
Oh, before I go, I want to respond to a very well-constructed comment on my previous post.
Sesshomarufan, I really appreciate the time you took with your comments, so I think you definitely deserve some kind of response/acknowledgement from me.
On your first point; I don't actually think that quality on OB is slipping at all. Sure, we have ups and downs. But in general, things are on the incline.
However, younger members do tend to be responsible for the lower quality stuff. We will not restrict people based on age alone, however; the only exception would be blocking those under 13.
On your second point; I don't really mind what people have to say. I mean, I don't mind whatever opinion people have, nor do I really care how they choose to express it.
But having said that, OB does require clear, readable English and something that goes beyond one sentence. That's it. Even for the more lethargic members of our community, it's not tough.
On your third point; I agree that everyone has slightly different levels of quality. That's cool. OB doesn't require everyone to be Shakespeare.
As long as your English is readable and as long as you post more than a sentence, you really have nothing to worry about. There are certain exceptions, but that's the hard and fast rule.
Cheers.
