I’d just like to note that before the exchange with Pavel about admin or not etc., the building staffer in question apologized to you for the lack of clarity and noted that adjustments to the documentation about this are on the to-do list to make it clear that the build staffer will be doing builds on request.
So like-- even build staff agreed that this was an issue that they plan to resolve but meanwhile you decided to show your butt about it anyways.
People don’t need to be telling you you’re wrong to be telling you your approach is not great.
-
@sao After a dialogue with said staffer, whom I found to be a very helpful and thorough assistant throughout the process, I am certain the oversight will be addressed. The continued hate I’m getting is also speaking a lot about how much, or little, people want any amount of friction generated, which is somewhat coloring my concerns, as well.
-
@OnceWas the “continued hate” you’re getting is a direct reaction to how publicly extra you were about this particular issue. Welcome to the consequences of your own actions. I don’t want to play anywhere it’s cool to act like you did.

Hey as someone who doesn’t rp and so I’m not invested in this situation, sometimes you should probably take a step back and think for a second. If you were reading a joke like that about something you put a lot of hard work into, would you appreciate it? Or would it come across dismissive?
You have the benefit of knowing your tone and intention. No one can read tone on the internet.
Step back, my dude. Evaluate yourself. Realize if everyone is reading your first post as passive aggressive or just aggressive aggressive, maybe you came out swinging too hard.
You can always drop the bat, be like, hey sorry, and just walk away from the plate. You don’t need to keep swinging with statements like ‘maybe my post wasn’t the problem, maybe you’re all the problem and I should be the one concerned!’

Well. Good news…
-
@OnceWas I can understand frustration when you feel like people aren’t helping you when you need help. However, as someone who was not around for whatever went down— joking when trying to make a criticism only works when you’re friends with someone already.
@Pavel could have easily said what you did to me and I would have rolled my eyes and fixed it. Maybe laughed if I had decided he was being charming that day rather than the annoying butt he normally is
Thenomain or EmmahSue or @Coin could easily tell me my entire life is trash for missing documentation and I wouldn’t take it personally.
But someone I’m not really familiar with making that kind of joke at me would get under my skin and make me feel insulted.

The key difference, I think, is that I’d have told you privately. Charm notwithstanding.

I have never… ever… drawn as complete a blank as I have for a played by for my character here compared to anywhere I’ve ever played before.
Like, ugh.
-
@MisterBoring This is why you gotta center the entire concept around specific PB pics, to the point where ‘oh no, I cannot find an image of them wearing the right color’ means that you have to start from scratch. (Edit: do not actually do this)
-
@MisterBoring Try ChatGPT! Just give it a prompt something along the lines of “this is what my character looks like and their personality, can you suggest some actors/actresses that could play this part?”. It’s helped me expand upon my small list of PBs.

I would advise going on pinterest, finding art, and using that. The obsession with living actors is weird to me. I’ve done it, and it seems like way more trouble than it’s worth. If something doesn’t fall in my lap in about ten minutes of searching, it’s artstation and pinterest time.
-
@MisterBoring The internationally recognized rules for PBs on WoD games say you’re required to pick between Jason Momoa from 15 years ago or, uh, that one redheaded latex model from 15 years ago.
-
@GF Or Christina Hendricks.
-
We still haven’t had a Jensen Ackles!!
-
@Tez Up the alt limit and I’ll accept that challenge!
-
The question I have is:
Have you gotten the Tom Hardy who’s 6’ tall, or 6’2”, or 6’4”?
And how much BEARD does he have?
-
@SpaceKhomeini I don’t think so! Which means it’s wide open for you
-
And two other people at the other height points.
-
I mean why stop there? There can be 7ft Tom Hardy.
-
@Smile Only if he buys the giant merit.
