Message: <blockquote data-quote="Creamsteak" data-source="post: 638251" data-attributes="member: 552">Yep, General Discussion. Acronyms... never do really know for sure till your told, that's the problem with Acronyms. I had no idea what GIRA was for the longest time, I thought it had nothing to do with the IR till Bugbear told me so. And that's the crux of the matter. Your a worthy human being. Not everyone has the ability to bring about entertainment and creativity the way you did. Very few do, as a matter of fact. And, if it's any example, it shows that you understand purpose. Not everybody does. Well, not everybody my age-that's for sure-as I've found my purposes, but many of my friends and family have not. You say cheers. I don't. I salut the people I respect (in an ex-cadet way), and I respect you. I salut your abilities Edena, and matters like the above are often misdirected by the faint. You might think you lack the toughness or the strength, but you'd be surprised how much toughness and strength everyone around here sees in you.This is acceptable to me. I am not familiar with FR, but I'm sure there is something suitable to my role-playing abilities. I fall somewhere between serpenteyes and Zouron. I like claiming my power, and knowing 'Open ended interpretive statistics' like PL (the definition of the preceding statement would be something along the lines of: A statistic that can be interpreted in virtually any way, and compared to virtually any figure with the same statistic). I believe that the rules used by you in the 3rd IR are nearly perfect, with the exception of cumulative power levels. I'll have fun, if you decide to run a 4th IR, and I'll try and make it the same kinda fun we had in the 3rd IR to the best of my ability.  Of course. I'd rather know your doing well than have a 4th IR. I'd rather you say, "well, as long as I don't run the 4th IR, everything in my world will be the way I want it," but I don't have that power. Trust me, if I did, I would be very generous with it.You'd be surprised. From a reading stand-point, the IRR (Industrial Revolution of Rokugan) is great, but from a playing standpoint it's horrible. The role-playing is excellent, especially since we have players like Knight-Otu and Lichtenhart added to the mix. These are people who take matters through the minds of their PC and not themselves. However, the matter is dampened by my constantly shifting workload, and the 'build yourself up in preparation for war' mentality (I do believe it's one word, Militarism, correct?) And because of the Militarism the players seem to all be indowed with in this particular game, Wars require a match. There hasn't been a big enough match just yet, but eventually there will be, but in the meantime many players have left.I'd like to see the game pick up speed, and I'd like to see the militaristic clans that many players seem to founder be bring their might down, but it's not happening. That, and I don't think I handle everyone's plans with that personality you did. I'd send you an email, and you'd tell me 'it would happen unless someone stops me', however, I as a DM am more in the belief to say, 'this won't happen unless you succeed here'. This is why your by far the better DM for the IR games, you have a better scope on perspective, whereas I'm more worried about things being blown out of my personal scope. Uh oh... they got to you, didn't they? The hivemind infection continues...  The steps in my evolution as a role-player and DM were really founded upon the IR, Edena. That's another thing you can know. Because of Sanctus, and watching the many other PCs, I can undoubtedly say I've improved my abilities as a Player. I've often been told "your the best DM I've ever had" by veterans of 6 and 8 years of gaming. That's a compliment that you can take for yourself, as everything they say of me, can, in some way, be brought back to the IR.</blockquote>
