6 & 11. To you people, and ACAW players, and any who cares, I have a secret to share~ And you can know who I am:

I'm the one who made "THE" secret. Yes me. \:D/

Hold off on torching me before I explain my piece, kay?

I originally made the secret because I thought then what I think now:
- That you people are INSANE. And I mean that in the nicest way, really.
- That friends who aren't in the rp (see, you can't prove me wrong with a smile thread) feel left out. I've seen the secrets here and in journals too.
- A lot of the ACAW secrets aren't so much as statements in my own opinion. Kyuu and Zero ae supposed to be on opposing sides. No need to make proclaimations how one side is going down, especially over...and over...and over again.

When I first saw the post with the secret posted the day after I submitted (while one I had posted over a week ago just showed up a few days ago-what kind of system do you have mods? XD), I couldn't even brought myself to comment on the post, because in my mind you all had just proven me right.

But now, here's the shocker: who cares?

I mean I literally sat back and thought, "What was the point really?" Was I jaded about not being in the rp? (Maybe, I mean I was that Anonymous person who chatted with I think grayout? WHY DID I HAVE TO PICK A SIDE LAWL?) Was I upset about friends being in it and being affected personally? Not really, though it was hilarious reading about fairyfey lawl about my secret on her journal. XD

The truth is, I don't know why I made it, spurred by something I don't remember now. And now, I realize, it didn't accomplish any purpose except causing drama (something I didn't conciously intend).

My tl;dr point is, I find now skipping over secrets I don't like is easier than making one in return. It was too tempting to make that secret pretty man. D:

SO LET'S CHILL AND HAVE A DANCE PARTY PEOPLE.

I'm sure it was a great big joke and you found it quite hilarious how we misinterpreted that, because face-value? It sounded clearly like wank. How did you miss that, when you first wrote it?

And trust me, the rest of us? Were not quite that amused. Due to that, I tried my ASS off to find out what was WRONG in the RP and to try and FIX something that apparently never existed in the first place -- but DOES exist now, somehow, now that it's been brought up.

"A lot of the ACAW secrets aren't so much as statements in my own opinion. Kyuu and Zero ae supposed to be on opposing sides. No need to make proclaimations how one side is going down, especially over...and over...and over again."

Find one secret that doesn't have a secret in it. Find one -- or rather don't, because you'll find you can't. You also accused the mods of playing favorites and putting in secrets that weren't secrets because the RP was ours; how could I not take that seriously? Please.

Maybe you should have done that sitting back and thinking BEFORE you posted that secret.

I'm really sorry if I'm not in the mood for a dance party right now.

(frozen comment) Re: tl;dr XD;;

[fuckyeah.livejournal.com]

Actually, I didn't find it hilarious at all, I found kind of frustrating and I still do. As for not realizing it sounded like wank, again I probably wasn't thinking, I admit that.

You worked your ass to find out what was wrong with the rp? When I said I wasn't a part of the rp? Was my secret more influential over the secrets that had problems? I'm not trying to be snarky, I'm just trying to understand how the opinion of one person who wasn't a part of the rp made you question your own rp.

Again, I stated, "in my own opinion". I could point out a lot of "secrets" that I thought weren't that I consider in the same caliber as not!secrets. Again, my opinion, not saying you have to agree with it.

Yeah, I probably should've, I admit it. But here I am, not hiding anonymous and trying to offer an olive branch, and now I'm feeling I shouldn't have.

Don't think I'm trying to trivalize what you went through, just...yeah. I just wanted everyone stop fighting and realize this comm is supposed to be fun.

Your first comment made it sound as if you didn't care at all.

"Was I upset about friends being in it and being affected personally? Not really"

And I'll answer your other question now: who cares? Obviously, the people involved, who now are apparently regarded as arrogant elitists for defending themselves from personal attacks. We care.

We're going to stop fighting now. Far as I'm concerned, it's over.

(frozen comment) Re: tl;dr XD;;

[grayout.livejournal.com]

Right, but to answer your actual question, we pick randomly out of the total secret pool. Post a secret Saturday morning and it might show up on the same day... or the Friday after that. It's all random.

(frozen comment) Re: tl;dr XD;;

[fuckyeah.livejournal.com]

Okay, that just got me curious. Sort of a weird way to do things, but that's just me. Though I'm guessing it's when people post similar secrets one after another it mixes the bag up?

(frozen comment) Re: tl;dr XD;;

[grayout.livejournal.com]

Right, exactly! We get people posting like 4 secrets in a row, and having them all be in one post (when the posts are usually only like 20 secrets anyway) is kinda strange. >>"

[mercale.livejournal.com]

Could you have just done us all a favor and not said this? I mean sure, it does prove our point that you only desired to create wank, but it brings the thing more and more to mind. And you see through the secrets the repercussions you are causing and have caused in a peaceful RP community.

Do us a favor and don't do us a favor but explaining yourself.

By, not but. Stupid computer. *kicks typo*

OOOO! I can see you!

(frozen comment) ... My title did not make sense, now did it..

*Whimper; paws at*

So basically there was no purpose. :<

Some people really need lives.

Some people might say we are among those numbers for joining ACAW.

IAWTC

[mercale.livejournal.com]

WHOOT SUPPORT! That is the first time someone has used IAWTC on something I said!

(frozen comment)

[databomb.livejournal.com]

But I do agree. D: All this wank had me confused, with all the "OMG YOU GUYS R ELITEST AND ARROGANT" and it turns out it all started out with no purpose. Makes me feel slow. >:

(frozen comment)

[mercale.livejournal.com]

Me too. I feel like Jiro now...

Uh, she specifically said she didn't intend to create wank, dude. I don't see why everyone's jumping on her, she seems genuinely contrite about the whole affair and what it hath wrought, and is just suggesting everyone let it go.

Cause seriously, you guys are still just pretending to be fictional characters on the internet. No need to get all srs bizness.

(and before people jump on me, I don't have an lj account, so anon it is.)

(frozen comment) Re: tl;dr XD;;

[grayout.livejournal.com]

Right, with no hint of apology and statements that she found the whole thing entirely funny. I'm sorry all of us weren't in on the joke LOL?

Yes -- pretending to be fictional characters on the internet is what we do -- IN ACAW. This, however, is us being ourselves, in real life. And it is US, being ourselves, IN REAL LIFE, that are being thought by tons of people to be arrogant and elitest because someone completely uninvolved with the RP itself thought "lol i guess i'll write this without thinking."

(frozen comment)

[databomb.livejournal.com]

Well, for one thing, I think her (his?) tone doesn't sound really sincere, and I think the drama has gone over from our RPing over to us players being called elitest and arrogant and stuck up and god knows what else, so some people might be a little irritated. ^^;

(frozen comment)

[saave.livejournal.com]

The dancing sort of gave that vibe, eh?

(frozen comment) Re: tl;dr XD;;

[mercale.livejournal.com]

And because the characters are fictional we are not allowed to be serious about them?

Amazing revelation.

So apparently copyrights on intellectual material are all inherently flawed...

Toy making, while intended to bring laughter, is serious business. Comedians cause laughter with sometimes bad jokes, but it is serious business. Role playing is serious if those who go about it are serious about it.

I'm just saying, it's fine to enjoy it as a hobby, but when it starts to intrude on your personal feelings on a matter, you might want to step back and realize what you're so invested in does not have any bearing on your actual life. Don't let people turn a hobby into something that upsets you IRL, cause where's the fun in that?

Annnd your analogies are completely out of whack, sry2say.

(frozen comment) Re: tl;dr XD;;

[fuckyeah.livejournal.com]

Like I said, I didn't mean to cause wank, but if that's what you believe, go ahead. And I'm sorry if my secret apparently forced more people to make more secrets about this.
