Subject: Okay. I'll try to make this my last post.

But knowing me, it probably won't be.

(If you need me to set the mood of this post, then I'm just being honest. No snideness or cynics. I'm just going to be completely open with you. I'm also not angry...at the moment.)

Kit, if you'd like a "newbie's" view of this place, I'll give you mine. Use this information if you want, or you can always just ignore it. Or even delete it.

When you practically begged me to join, I was ecstatic. "Wow," I said to myself. "We didn't get along before (for reasons still unbeknownst to me), but maybe we can now!" So I joined as a relatively new characer of mine that has never been used before. And also the daughter of one that will be introduced shortly into the plot of WCM.

But from the very first post, I began to groan. I swiftly apologized for forgetting the "I read the intro!" thing in the subject. I also agreed to go through with the hassle of reposting. "Give them a second chance," I kept thinking to myself.

Next, I was in the wrong tense and was snapped at because it sounded to me like it was only a suggestion, not a rule. I was beginning to feel like an outsider, like it was impossible for me to ever get inside yours, Amber's, Kelsey's, and the other people's little circle. But still I went on.

When I messed up on Kaligo's gender, I got a rude cough directed at me (hope the Robitussin helped, Kels; LOL), and now instead of feeling just that same awkward discomfort that I was feeling, I was beginning to get irritated. I tried hard to keep it out of my posts. I was constantly telling myself, "Ah, it was a rough start, but I'm sure it'll get better."

It didn't. With the last couple days' fiasco, that just drove me over the edge. I knew it was your RPG and if you wanted to be strict, that was your choice, but deleting my farewell message? That just did it for me.

To be honest, I don't think there's any way we can RP together, Kit. Even now, with a less plot-oriented board, I just don't see it happening. We just can't seem to find a common ground. But that doesn't mean we can't just talk OOC together.

If it's not against the rules, could I just talk to you here? OOC? (See, there I go, going against my word already.)

And another bit of info about your board: Do you remember Castor from WCM? Or were you not there in his days? Well, he said he watched the progress of your board for a long time, but he was so scared he'd get rejected or bashed that he didn't join.

Do what you will with this information. For now, that is all I have to say.
