....I just read the Game Thread, and all I have to say is damn it no one and Spiritmon.
Starting with you No One, I get and can actually agree with your ardent sentiments of playing Dax as the resident Big Good of the group, since we need someone to hard counter and curb the morally dubious excessiveness of Pyra and occasionally Kogeki. It's also nice to have someone so invested in their character that much too, as it shows you've really gotten into the game and want to make the most right decisions by your chara and everyone else. But could you at have just accepted Pyra's compromise to end this conflict, or at least rejected it without the preaching? I'm not asking you to cave in here to Pyra's moral myopia and Kogeki's darkish group centric thinking, but a little give here or there to either of them would go a long way to making Dax appear more as The Big Good than the most zealous kinds of Paladins I hear about in DnD games. Especially seeing as Pyra is trying her darndest to meet your chara (as well as Marcus and Karen) half way, both in this scene and many times previously, and the compromises I've made and make to play as Pyra....
Spiritmon, we both know you have a bad temper when it comes to these games. Especially when another player or character does something that offends you personally. We also know that you can control your temper better than you have thus far displayed, and channel that anger into a positive force IC and OOC too. Instead of further agitating things IC, perhaps you could have instead calmly rebuked Dax or actually agreed with him about leaving the Poke - it would be nice to have, and it isn't like Conk can readily use it unless a wandering Keck Merchant shows up in his MD or has other means to use it, but it ain't worth the trouble it's causing. Or bring up the point in the Meta Thread, like I have just done. You have methods other than lashing out or being beligerant, buddy. Please use them, not abuse them.
Christ.....I know this is just all fun and games here, and I'm not actually too upset or ruffled about this latest bout of drama (Find it a bit of fun, if exsaperating), but this is starting to get out of hand here. Look, @no one , what do you want us to do with the Item Pile? I don't want to give in to you straight away, as that encourages stubbornish on your and everyone elses part, but I frankly can't find it within me to care about that anymore right now. I just want this silly fight over Items to end, when the whole issues over them is entirely relative, likely have no lasting impact outside of what we choose to acknowledge (or force others to), and only engender continued hostility and tension IC. I can still enjoy things and be friendly about the game OOC, fyi mates, but it seems like everyone else but Kee/Phantom (and Dragonstrike, I think?) is taking things a touch too seriously here. And yes, that includes me, since this latest round of arguing has prompted me to try and reign things in OOC instead of IC first in a nice way.
Speaking of which, Dragonstrike, I'm sort of at a loss at where to start at making a response post to this. Any recommendations which post I should bounce off of first?
