Okay.

[vanesse]

I understand why you wanna ask this, but noo, you don't have to be so paranoid about whether you're fit to be ST. Everything that happened is just water under the bridge for me. I don't mind you being a potential ST at all. *hugs*

[Lex]

I'm ridiculous. ^_^

[Lil]

Yesss you areee XD

And you already know what I feel about you being ST XD *raises four limbs* <--remember this?

[Lex]

XD *shakes head*

[Diego Stanton]

Okay, I'm going to be completely and brutally honest since it's what you want, Lex.

I am for you helping in being an ST who actually posts ST posts and helps move the plot and whatnot. But I don't want the Rp returning to what I kind of saw as an ST monarchy. (I'm not trying to be mean :[ But that's truly what I saw it as) To be honest you've said these exact same words before "I have tons of time to ST and am very enthusiastic and willing to do so." Only to have you completely turn your back on everything and say you were way too busy with your life and had no energy or willingness to keep up your job. I'm not saying we can't trust you anymore or that I don't believe you haven't changed. I just don't think that having one person control the plot is very safe. Something could always come up and like Lil said, if the ST can't move the plot, nobody can. What if I was the ST right now? The RP would be stagnant for almost a month because i'm on vaca.

I love the idea of the plot forum where everyone puts in their shared ideas, that way if something happens to the ST we still have a sense of where to go and won't have to make up plot from scratch like had to before. When Lex left and the RP led to three STs, everything moved smoothly for over a year. There was no chaos and no clashing of ideas. Ani mainly acted as our plot mover while Lil and I would just add ideas to the story.

That's what I can see working here though. I propose that the Rp'ers know.. or at least I want to know what exactly the plot will be in case something happens to Lex or she's taking too long to post, someone else can just do it. So I think everyone should have the capabilities to be ST (knowing what to post, and where to lead the plot) but leaves it up to Lex. That way if anything goes wrong, someone else can just take over for her. So I'm totally not against Lex being ST, she was always an awesome ST'er before and she has plenty of ideas. She's proven herself to be completely enthusiastic about the project and her sequel ideas are so BRILLIANT XD

But again, All the major drama and fights that have occurred in the past were ST related and I really don't want that sort of thing to happen again. I think by having a more democratic sort of ST system things will work out better. I really hope I didn't offend you Lex :[ I trust you to be our ST, I just don't want to take any chances, you know?? So what I really see working better is that there being main ST(s) but they should allow others to step up in case they can't fufill their duties.

Anyways I gotta go now, my dad is screaming at me to give brandon a chance on the computer -_-

[Lex]

Noooo I'm not offended AT ALL. That is exactly what I wanted.

I definitely see all of your points. And I'm not going to argue against most of them--because you're right. It was like a monarchy. And it did get stagnant when I got to busy. And I know there were times I made promises I didn't always keep.

I don't think I explained myself well enough, though... I don't want to do it alone again. I don't want it to just be me. I mean, if nobody else WANTED to, of course I would. But I don't want it that way again. For the same reasons you just listed... it's not safe.

I would like for there to be a happy medium somewhere. I would like for there to be more than one ST, just not EVERYONE. Y'know? I see your point though, about it being more democratic if everyone has the abilities to shape the plot. I just don't want the plot to get bent out of shape completely by a lot of miscommunication. And I mean, we do have quite a bit of characters to handle here...

It's like a double-edged sword. Either way we take it, there's pros and cons.


*huggles* Thanks for the compliments on my ST abilities.


Bah... so where do we go from here guys?

[Lex]

Ash. I just thought of something.

Why don't you be an ST??

That really might be that most simple way to solve things...

*shrug* ?

[Lex]

Okay I know I'm totally spamming this thread right now, but...


The more I think about what you said, Ash, the worse I feel about the whole thing. I know that I have thrown nice words around and been really fake in the past... but I really mean it right now. I am sorry for the way I used to act, and I really TRULY regret it. I wish I could go back in time and slap myself.

I believe that you guys don't have any negative feelings toward me or whatever. And I believe that you mean it when you say the old drama is all "water under the bridge" to you now. I know you guys wouldn't be fake and say that if you didn't mean it. No one is making me feel bad or unwelcome or anything like that. I guess I just... I can't help it. I have so many regrets in regards to my friendships with you all.

here's your warning, corny gaggy alexis moment coming up

I love you guys. thanks for putting up with me.

I am really having so much fun getting back into this and being a part of it all with you guys again... thanks.

*HUGGLES* ^___________________________________^!!!

Ahh, Al volunteered to be a potential ST too and I don't have a problem with her being ST since she's brilliant. Just like with Lex ^.^

What's supposed to happen is that the old admins (who doesn't have much free time) will just step back from the ST post and have the New STs (the ones who have free time XD) run the show. The old admins will be like back ups instead should the new STs can't post. (Since our specialy is winging ST plots afterall >D) The RPers CAN and are encouraged to voice ideas about their characters or the plot, etc etc., and the new ST's job is to organize and write them out. At the same time, the STs can add their own plot twist too that's not known to the player so the story can have more flavor and dun dun dun drama. XD I wanted everyone to get involved and this scenario pulls it off without asking for too much.

Since besides playing for my characters, I won't be able to even shape the storyline or post an ST post if I continue to be ST cuz of my practical, so I'm really comfortable with Al and Lex being Storytellers.

There you go, that's my take on the subject ^.^ Did I sound convincing??
