♆ ━ '' monsters of the sea '' [ii]

ok i think we actually need to talk about this as a group. Congelia it's up to you if you want to go forward with discussing this as a whole, but I'm sure several people are frustrated with how many character's Queen has created, and Queen is frustrated with the lack of diversity in the rp, so it might be better to have an organized discussion to sort it out.



On a side note. If Con, and Queen will give me their blessing to make another POC character, I will. I'n also willing to shift Raphael's face claim to something more diverse (though i am fairly certain his current fc is a spaniard)

[rey skywalker]

i know spaniard but i am trying to introduce african diversity, something
that isn't too present here. but if you don't mind, this is a dicsussion that
i perfer to conduct on my own. for the sake of the heartattack it will bring
me, please stop.

seriously stop. this is a discussion between me and those who are uncomfortable which
is only two people.

[feather_light_flight]

Ok. I will respect that wish. Do I have your blessing to make a black character then? If the spread of characters is placed between multiple players, it might make everything easier.

ok for everyone's sake, look. you haven't seen me roleplay you don't know what i can manage and what i can't i read the rules of this group which states that they expected onward of 250+ words, i read those clearly and know i can do that. i also read as many characters as a roleplayer can handle is allowed. i read that too and understood. with the other rules applied, i joined this roleplay because i can do it. the roleplay hasn't even begun for people to be fearful. ok, these are my only characters. watch me and observe my abilities and if you are still fearful, then i will remove a few more. until then, i will budge no more. it is not fair to threaten anyone based on a fear. monsters are monsters because of fear.

once you have seen me roleplay, your concerns may be relevant and then a demand for some shift. but until then, i find it offensive and it doesn't feel good on my end. espeically if you haven't proven yourself before people start tearing you down. yes yes we all have fears and if you knew me and tried to get me you'd learn that i hate when roleplay groups die!!!

i am passionate, capable and creative. allow me to demonstrate that as we begin. from then, thank you and please, stop. you have been heard. don't think i am ignoring your voice. i am not trying to. i am trying to negotiate.

Sorry I haven't posted here guys, I was trying to keep this matter private and I am handling the situation.
If you have issues or concerns just pm me, I am willing to make compromises and help out. I don't want anyone stressing or getting upset, this is supposed to be fun, not stressful. For now, let's see how things roll, okay?

Thank you for those who commented on the matter, your opinions, concerns, and ideas are appreciated. With the issue of diversity, no one has to make other characters they do not want, but if you do you may. Anyone may have as many characters as they can handle and they can be however you like, diversity is nice, but I'm not going to force any of you to add it.

Another issue I'd like to quickly address is queen's characters. queen and I have been discussing this, and things are okay.

Once again if you have any issues, questions, or concerns pm me and don't be shy, we don't need to make big ordeals.

you don't need my blessing. please refer to them as african, i'm not
comfortable with the term black. sorry. but do as you wish, i appreciate
you hearing me out and that we could come to a consensus.

i appreciate it con. i apologize for any disruption. i was hoping to encourage diveristy, i didn't mean for it to come off as me demanding it. sorry. things are tense right now in america and well nevermind, but thank's for everyone's cooperation. i am glad we can all discuss things and come to a common ground.

[feather_light_flight]

alright. I'm very stressed right now. I still have my personal reservations, which i have tried to voice in pm. If anyone is willing to discuss further and possibly settle my reservations, very well. Until then, I'm going on hiatus for a bit.

i just thought that @metro
was being a bit rude and quick to judge
again sorry...

[coniglia]

Don't worry storm, things just heated up, none of it is your fault, or anyone else's. People have opinions and it is okay to state them. Hopefully, things will start to 'cool off' after this and tomorrow we can start. c:
