Utterly Mad

Guys, I try to go see one school musical and I come back to a minor outbreak. However this is good because you're all mature enough to resolve it yourselves, so good job, you simple problem solvers.

Then again, and I'm going to call y'all out on a few things:

---

Peri, You're a great guy but I feel like this damage you've got right now is showing a bit too much. I don't know what crappy post-man threw you onto the doorstep, but tape yourself back together because there are people ready to open up that package expecting a pretty antique for their mother or some wacky shit. I'm not saying you should be perfect because not everyone is, I'm saying that you should look good in that box because you're the admin and people are looking up to you and frankly this is getting a tad ridiculous. Also, please don't ask to me to agree with you on things like this because I'm never going to take anyone's side on something as silly as an RP disagreement.

Tesla, I'm going to agree with everyone you're a tad zealous and very defensive, but I won't blame you because you're getting tons of flack so good job on sticking up for yourself. But perhaps it's best to tone it down a few notches, which is contradictory to what I told you earlier so I'm sorry about that.

AJ, Thanks for stepping in, that's your job as admin, but I think it's more appropriate to PM these people and settle the disagreement. I don't like big posts like that clogging up my thread meant for easy times. Thanks for your work though.

Anyways, I suppose I should explain more as to what my thoughts on Tesla's character was since I don't think I quite clarified/understood/knew what I was thinking. I did 100% endorse the character, and even though they were a bit crazy because I thought it would be funny/interesting if there was this strange man on the crew that no one really could tell if he was some sort of Eldritch horror or just a normal guy. However, I think that my idea of what it was going to be like and Tesla's was way different, in fact completely different because we can't read each other's minds.

Tesla, I don't think you made this clear in the post you PM'd me.

My character is not human lets get this out there hes more like a lorn fluke crossed with a human and a master of the bazaar and yes he creates monsters and other interesting devices he also apart from 2 arms has 6 tentacles he uses with throwing knives with deadly accuracy im fine with engineer so we can have 2 crazy people on board and we can be freinds

That wasn't exactly noted in your sheet and I feel you dug into hyperbole a little; which is why this misconception happened. Had this been clearer in your sheet that you PM'd me, I would've asked you to change that. As I understood the description, it was this:

"APPEARANCE: he wears a trench coat with silk gloves and leather laced boots he wears a hood and a brass mask with two eye holes. Burningly bright light emanates from each eye hole. He constantly twitches and his clothes are oddly shaped and lumpy like that of a rubbery mans."

To your benefit a little below you did put in your inventory:

"12 throwing knives that can be thrown by his 6 tentacles"

Which I managed to miss. That detail at the end should've been added to your description or should've been added in your back story which I don't believe is. Now if there's a concern why I didn't think to check the inventory better it was assumed that anything that could really throw the game off would've been in the character description or the back story.


Here's is my final verdict on the whole matter and this is it to the 't':

Sunken Harbors is a collaborative story we're all making together. Since this is the case, I'm going to ask that you modify your character slightly, Tesla. I'm going to ask you remove the tentacles bit, however everything else description wise you may keep. However, if you're going to be playing this character that may or may not be a monster, you will be playing him as "...it would be funny/interesting if there was this strange man on the crew that no one really could tell if he was some sort of Eldritch horror or just a normal guy." I think that would make for a very interesting aspect of the story and more can be revealed about the character as we go. If that does not please you or the other players, I'll ask you to change your character to a normal human. Because I agree that having an actual horror on the ship will definitely drive away from the horrors at sea.
