Marlene has a point. Personally I've quietly stopped posting. I lost interest in the 5 words threads and the person above you threads several pages back. If the cheese thing originated there then I think it should have remained there. There are a couple I continued to read and not necessarily respond to, this one and 3 or 4 others... but they are being taken over by this nonsense. Seriously? I get sick of the antics... they are slightly annoying. I don't particularly see a point in 2 pages straight on talking about a battle of girls against boys. It was kind of (sappy) sweet when it was just Marlene and Brian but then it just went too long and got too involved... been off in macho posturing and it's time to move on already. *points to title* If it isn't specifically "A little about the muns!" don't keep posting about it on this thread. Same with the Goldenmyst Movie and any other thread that has recently gone from interesting to juvenile. I miss having something I want to read when I get on the boards... as it is I've done very little more than skimming unless it happens to be Dream's End or I'm specifically told to read something or I'm just in a more tolerable mood. Do what Marlene said... make a thread for the silliness so that the people who have had more than their fill of it can come on the boards and simply not look at the thread unless they want to. Don't do it on the threads that used to be interesting, please. There is quite a number of other people I haven't seen posts from in a while. And Sharikins... I wuvvles your waves Side note- you are welcome to lump me in as a "pissy whiner" if you want, but I fail to see how anyone making a simple request should be snipped at rather than heard and considered.

Hey, this thread went off subject long before me and Alan started goofing off, so you cant pin that on me. Also, if we choose to goof off on these threads, that is because we have a right to, there is no rule saying stay on the subject within each thread. If thats the case, maybe half the people who post on the boards wont. Maybe I should stop posting on the boards. Would thjat make you happy? If you want to make a rule about threads staying on subject, fine. Ill make a thread where people can goof off all they want.

Nym your right , this thread is about getting to know th muns of the other rpers and also to make friends with them and even become more than friends. James makes a good point also cause sometimes things on these boards can become depressing so you have to have some fun once in awhile but not over do it like james does. I am not taking sides just throwing out some facts.:: sits down and holds his head as he suffers from a headache and feels abit down::

::Sighs: I apologize. But to call Auduin or I... immature goes a little over board in my belief. Anyone who acually knows me knows I usually am serious on things but when the conversation before hand begins to... irritate me, and someone starts goofing off I play around too. Makes the irritation fade. I apologize once again.

Call me a bitch or a "pissy whiner" if you want, but I'm sick of watching the thread I enjoyed reading disappear. People who know me know I can only deal with so much immaturity. I love Rping and having fun but there is a thing called too much. I come on this board hoping people reply and then I see our posts torn apart because of childish antics.
Thanks Nym for backing me up and you too Shari, because I'm sencerly sick of it all. I come back in hopes that things will get to be good, but it seems to get worse... why does it seem I stopped posting in EVERY thread that was active?
For you Alan, sorry for saying you are immature, but youare acting like it. This is NOT the alan I spoke to on eht phone and laughed with, this is some childish Alan I had never seen till recently. I'm glad you guys have made your own thread up, but I wonder how long it actually will last...
Okay I am done bitching and stuff... lets move on to a new topic! Seeing this is a little about the muns... What is everyone's favorite RP charcaters, and how do they relate to you? (Past or Present.) Everyone Ihave met said that a character resembles some part of the player... what is that connection between you and that favorite character?

Like I said, in person, I am never like that. Usually more on the silent side. ::sighs:: As for why I acted like this, maybe stress induced... I don't know. Remember, some people deal with stress in diffrent ways. Right now, I have a lot of stuff going on here, and instead of talking about it, I just... I don't know. Doesnt even matter anymore. Whats done is done. I have apologized. I'll just worry about the Rp threads from here on out.

My favorite RP character if mine is Raine, with an earlier one, Tamahome Le'Devero in close second.
My favorite RP character played by another person (in GM, no less) is Kolava. I freaking LOVE Kolava.

((this gets long... but you got me reminiscing))
Lavina. I've mentioned her wistfully to some people and she's occasionally tried to funnel through Nym when she gets frustrated about not doing anything. Nym is tolerant, doesn't let it happen but she never seems to mind that Lavi tries. Nym is kind to her mun, typically.
Pausing for a moment, I've been told that I'm odd when I start talking about this stuff. I think it is important at this point to state why I RP. It isn't for a creative outlet, I actually find it slightly annoying that it takes creativity away from my poetry at times. It isn't for the story though I note that it is necessary for my actual reason for it. I am fascinated with character development. There was an attempt to do that in poetry that I still haven't figured out. You can't. It's all McCaffrey's fault, if you must know. Or, Robinton's. Robinton quite obviously stole the show in the Pern series, which hadn't been the intention, and after she killed him off he got his way in getting a book about him after it. Robinton lived. The Pern series was what got me interested in my mother's books to begin with (which led to Zelazney, Eddings, Lackey, Weis & Hickman etc etc tec... blessed Pern series), primarily Menolly and moving from there. When I was fifteen I used to wonder what it would be like to walk around with F'lar, Lessa, F'nor, Robinton and all them in my head. To me that's a relationship all in its own, because a character that truly lives sometimes surprises their author, or mun. Lavina was my first. Well... I take that back. Danada and Coventina were my firsts, along with the twins, K'gan took more time, but Lavina... she shone. All my characters, even Covie, have a gentle, mothering side to them. Even my males, K'gan is a healer, O'en took a wild boy under his wing when he himself was only about 6 and Aid'n, well, takes care of O'en I guess. Anyone unfamiliar with the Pern series, male dragonriders shorten their names. So I had a number of characters I already loved dearly when Lavina and her Zarinath started to develop from the shy girl I had meant for her to be. If I try to RP Lavina as young she obliges me by playing demure and sweet, which cracks me up, but she grew up to be a tempermental, strong willed whirlwind who only ever really softened for her dragon and her children, and the love of her life. T'stars mun has a special knack with killing off all her characters eventually and T'star (though he was her first chracter) really irked her, probably because he wasn't always making Lavi's life easy. It was perfect though, they brought one another to life. Lavina had been bullheaded from the get go, but she was Weyrwoman and didn't always think that she wasn't invincible. Like I said, bullheaded and a bit arrogant. He made her learn to use a weapon. Even now when the two of us RP I can't play Lavina without her having the urge to bring T'star back from the assumed dead... still. With Lavina I gained Fiona, her little sister and her daughters, Adiva, Aina and Faith.
When I decided to humor Maximus mun and join EotW, the other places he'd talked me into RPing at hadn't ever worked out, I entertained playing any of them and then decided no, I'd been dragging Nym around and would continue with that. Nym started in a small Pern RP, probably no older than eleven with the ankle length strawberry blonde curls. I just wanted a character with long hair. There was always a gentleness to her though and she hit it off with that group beautifully until the group fell apart. Then I dragged her around, her story starting to form immediately because I didn't want to keep her in Pern guilds after that one failed. I dragged her from neopet's guilds to message boards and then to AOL RPs. Lavina as a character has a lot of history and shes a strong, tried and true leader, I would have to change her to get her to follow anyone else so she has to remain in limbo. I RP her kids still, it does Adiva and Aina well to be on their own from their mother but Faith, well.. the others didn't always have the best of births and circumstances, a lot happened to them but Faith was her mother's pet and grew up knowing only love and safety from the moment she was born. So Faith does well in her mother's shadow, its more a shade than a shadow for her.
*takes a breath* Sorry... It's hard to explain one of my Pern characters without going into the whole lot of them. I had a whole cast in my head when I was playing on neopets and I like playing characters that are children of my own charries... especially Lavina's daughters. I was happy then and I'm happy now with Nym. As for what each character takes from the mun... thats debateable. I know Lavina and Nym occasionally take pieces of me... but some of them just don't. There are a lot of things about Nym that I'm not (kind, sometimes). Lavina's temper is based off mine and then made a lot more extreme. I'll throw a pillow at a wall occasionally (rarely... but I do bite my fingers and hit my head when I'm at work to keep from yelling) but never every single plate in the kitchens. She was lucky to have a tolerant headwoman and T'star, the first man with the good sense enough to duck!

I think my favorite character was probably Tea Amare. At the time of her creation, she was ridiculously unique. However, as time progressed, she became run of the mill. Being one of my first major characters, I definitely had the most fun with her.
