[QUOTE="Rathan, post: 5103314, member: 1322"] ML do you remember what I said about putting too much of yourself into your character? Well every time someone mentions they don't like something about your character is not your cue to go ranting about it. He was using it as a base example and he was right. A few of us took the liberty of drawing our characters up to be the be all end of of Gods or Goddesses, YOU are included in those few. Why this is a problem is because it gives you more a reason to play your Goddess as 'I'm better than you because I'm older, now go away'. Not saying you'd play her this way (however you've already leaded towards it, such as knowing our names and what we are the gods of.. you're meta-gaming based on your background!). For one this is wrong, bad form, and completely hinged on character BACKGROUND and not what the character has EARNED in the game. I could be a creator deity with 1000's of worlds created under my belt before I got to the grey mist. HOWEVER, once I'm there, I'm NO better than you. That's the START of the game and everyone should be on equal keel. Yet I see you constantly asking for new rules and new ways to make yourself better than everyone else, weather you mean to or not. Weather it be your weapon, stats, or just trying to weasel your characters past into the present to show your character is far superior are ALL signs of why Glass is 110% correct. We need baseline rules. Things like.. "sure you're background is pretty... you may be only an aspect of your true form sent here... however your character knows nothing of this... the slate is clean... anything from the past cannot be used... period. Same with my background. I would surely have access to the elemental plane of fire even though I can't go there however my power from my background is null and void because this is a FRESH start. I should have what I paid for and start from THERE. I'm NOT afraid to say you are the majority of my problem with this game ML and you frustrate me to no end with little addons to the rules just so it fits YOURS character. Weather you realize it or not that gives your character an edge, allbeit a small one but it still upsets players because they DON'T have the special weapon (which I'm glad HM stuck to his guns on.. thank you HM) or whatever have you. Sunking is the other part of my problem in the way he completely slapped us all in the face and basically said "screw you guys.... I can't play this character so let me just give you a big middle finger". It's not OUR fault you can't play a Lawful character in a room full of chaos. That what this comes down to and to be honest anything else you bring to to table as a concept I'm going to have a hard time respecting after what you pulled. Just thought I'd be honest with you all and voice my VERY frustrated opinions here with you all. It's not to piss people off, but more to show you how close I am to saying "you know what?...
