15. If you don't like us, that's fine, though it seems like your wording carries an inordinate amount of hate towards us. "Wouldn't app here if it was the last RP on LJ"...? Seems kinda extreme, though I dunno, maybe we really are that bad in your eyes.

In regards to the squicked-outness: I understand that there's a lot of gory stuff going down, but I'm not sure what else you could be talking about when you say you're squicked by the RP. Do you mean experimentation and stuff like that, or the concept in its entirety, or something else? I'm honestly curious.

In regards to your opinion about the OOC characters: We work very hard to review every (usually long) application in detail, and though I know that we certainly aren't perfect and probably misjudge and screw up on a bunch of them, especially given how many apps we get, I hope that our effort counts for something when all is said and done.

In any case, the only thing that really bugs me about this secret is the "LOL in b4 wank" part. You're entitled to have your opinion, but it seems--especially with that added bit--that you're posting this solely because you want to see bitchiness from players who you see as automatically wank-prone and who you deem yourself better than, as if to reassure yourself that you're truly superior to this particular RP that you hold a grudge against, though maybe that's my personal bias speaking for me.

I hope I worded all of that in a sufficiently non-wanky way, as I certainly don't want your wank expectations fulfilled.

not the op

in your replying to defend the honor of your game, yes, you have fulfilled the expectations of the wank.

christ on a moped. can't people bitch about RP games they hate without having the game descend on them to call attention to their faults for not liking a goddamned LJ based RP game?

she doesn't like it. big fucking deal. you got 100 apps this last application. let the success of your game speak for your game and not the legions of dedicated players who's egos have now been punctured because ONOES someone on the internet thinks the game is lousy.

I believe it is you who wishes to cause wank, considering the wording of your highly caustic and inflammatory comment, and I will thus take this conversation no further.

HAHAHAHA.

You're a parody, right?

I can't speak for the OP and have never seen the game before, but I think the "in b4 wank" bit was probably just a reference to the fact that RP secrets ALWAYS cause wank, whether their posters want them to or not. The secret is directed at whoever told her the RP was awesome, not at the RP itself.

And your comment was wanky. No offense, but assuming that she thinks she's better than you, that she sees all the players in a certain way, and that she has a grudge against = wanky.

Thanks for the objective response; it allows me to reflect on my actions a lot better than the anon response I got. Yeah, I've realized by now that my response was a knee-jerk reaction and a very unwise decision, and although I can't take back what I've already posted, I don't plan on responding again if any kind of similar secrets come up.

In short, I apologize for my stupid actions, and they won't happen again. :[

Re: 15

[hireadd.livejournal.com]

S'okay. My comment was worded a little harshly as well. *fails being nice on the internet*

And I totally understand knee-jerk reactions at RP, since I've had them a lot myself. You reacted better than most members of scorned RPs do- being rational and typing something out instead of resorting to insults /capslock/"you're-just-jealous"-ing. :D

Re: 15

It's okay, I needed to hear it. XD; And thanks, though I don't think I was much better in the end, as you yourself pointed out.
