Ryan256Hmm.... I've been out of the RP forums for quite a while. There are currently 117 unread posts in the galactic bar and 52 on the docks. Anything good going on that I should go through reading them all for?
Why yes. Everything that is mine. Because I'm narcissistic. Allow my posts to transport you into a world beyond your imagination. Skyrim, Kahjiits, Aisling cosplay, white knights, drones that snicker at other drones. Medics who's sole job is to stand there and scowl, making people feel awkward. Aislings prancing like the noble gazelle of the African Savannah. Fetish Discord channels. Code Red Mountain Dew and Twizzerls. Complicated Starbuck coffee orders. Three wolf moon shirts and rip off Katanas. It's all here for your browsing pleasure.

What has been seen.... cannot be unseen. Much to my dismay.....

Furthermore, I created this as an example of what happens when one tries to shoehorn in lore from other universes into Elite Dangerous. Elite Dangerous is a large universe, but it is not large enough to accommodate Skyrim, Star Trek, Star Wars or whatever. The end product is that it creates bazaar storylines that make absolutely no sense.
Something even as simple as the “yellow circles” created confusion and contention. Forcing in lore from The Fifth Element left Cartlidge feeling frustrated because it directly affected his character and he really didn’t know how to handle it in a way that would make sense to the story he was trying to progress.
And worse, people hijacking existing RP and forcing their weird crap on them. I cannot imagine how this affected Luke, Luke had made mention in the OOC forum, that he didn’t know what to make of all of this, because he uses RP as a basis of his logbook writing. Now he’s stuck holding a bag of just plain garbage trying to figure out how to fit it all in with his character. All because I wanted to do what I wanted, with no regard to anyone else. You see, RP isn’t about you, or how amazing your character is, its about co-creating a story. And the story needs to have an element of “suspending the disbelief.”
How are you suspending the disbelief?

Cartlidge1000For the record, I'm still convinced that the "yellow circles" were on the bot itself and not on the walls.
Maybe I should have made it a female. Just for even more added awkwardness. "Put your hands on the yellow circles."
