I've paid my dues, my actual face is here. This is my right now.

You two are rarely ever on the server to my knowledge so let me clarify the typical situation for the server and backchannels right now. Everyone is in main chatting away amicably most of the time with occasional pauses between conversations as people come and go, someone might speak a word in a back channel of 5-7 people. It's 5-7 people on a good day even with the intro of autojoin. There is a huge difference between main activity and back channel activity and this isn't going to get people to close that gap. It'll drive people into lurking more than anything. And before you say it's up to us to get talking, people have tried. In the abyss, the nightclub and Arcana rush, 3 of the back channels I frequent and 3 of the more popular are still dead as all hell. My point is, back channels are great in theory, shit in practice. Which means anyone with a less than squeaky clean sense of humour still end up shafted and pushed away. EDIT Psa to any of the people above who claim they were uncomfortable with R7 jokes, if ever I toe the line on that front most of the reactions are "Dobby pls", which really, really isn't a good way to get across that you are uncomfortable. For the longest time I thought it was a jokey reply and it's incredibly frustrating to see everyone turn around and say they want more R7 jokes cracked down on when you hardly said anything in the first place.

To be frank, it's all well and good to advocate the abyss for more immature discussions but the spontaneous nature of those conversations or remarks mean that you can't simply say "hey everyone hop into abyss" without it draining one hell of a chunk of the fun from it. Furthermore even if one was to constantly be in the abyss if one made those remarks there in reference to what someone said in main, where most conversations take place and thus a bountiful place for joke opportunities, you'd then get the moral issue of whether people are talking behind one's back. That issue makes me uncomfortable. which brings my point around to how I don't understand the vague parameters set here and how it feels like it's meant to be a set of catch-alls to please everyone, when it doesn't. I've been guilty of pushing boundaries if not outright going past them only to be reigned in. I've been notified of the no-goes that auth specifically zoom in on due to their serious nature and so avoided those subjects from then on. So a balance was struck between cracking a joke and starting a conversation or letting things lie. With these parameters I'm going to be sat wondering if I can say a good percentage of my areas colloquialisms because I'm not sure if they're "PG13" which really is a terrible way to put it when there are people who have dedicated jobs to decide what passes as that in many different countries. With that second rule, it's so massively context dependent. There could be a lobby of people who are fine with an academic discussion about the history of why tentacles began being used in hentai or a lobby of people who get squeamish when I mention I'm stroking my pussy cat. People who get offended when I say I killed the french antagonist in this new game I got. People drop in and out all the time in reborn and with the size of the community now you may know what the majority are ok with but you could never be sure about that other minority of newcomers. Then you get a case of people not seeing the point of being around and leaving outright because they just couldn't speak their mind properly. The last one I can understand, a conversation can have many tangents and it's best to stop a lot of conversations if it's branching into something genuinely inappropriate but then there's the question of what is inappropriate according to these rules? If you want to crack down on R7, fine. I can see why and accept it even if it will push me into lurkdom even more. Rules are rules. Just make sure I know whether something I say could be a landmine, ok? Yes that's not an easy job with how varied these conversations can be but, well, that's the responsibility you took on when you started this really.

My pawns are slowly moving into position... perfect. Plan Tacps is agogo

So it took me a while to get a new pic up, I was feeling a little insecure what with some new changes I've made to my appearance. I hope you guys like it. This is me in media :]

6/10, guy looks kinda creepy

Cottonee. It'd be like having a more adorable bird that has magical powers. Plus having a nice tailwind breeze could make life a whole lot nicer.

My plan to have you all reveal the other results without any effort on my part is working perfectly

Nah, I'm fucking with you. I'm not going to add another birthday onto the surprising amount we had today (or yesterday in my timezone at least) Nah, I just got bored and ended up taking one of those buzzfeed-y "What X are you?" quizzes. Funny thing is, it actually had a fair amount of answers for each question and it was actually kind of interesting. So, maybe you should click this link and tr it for yourself? see what you get? http://www.playbuzz.com/paget10/what-mythical-creature-describes-your-personality I got the same as my pokemon type, Dragon.

Drugs It's up to you if they're a do or a don't to be honest.

You know, there are still loose ends in the show. We still have no proof the past killer is the one in the present.

It's super chill and, I hesitate to say this tbh, realistic in the issues new adventurers would face. As for Erased
