The Gang of Five
Howdy, everyone!

As you know, the forum has been fighting spammers and bots for years. We have seen our fair share of "Custom Kitchens UK", scammy Internet hosting companies, and bots trying to send us to a business's homepage. But after fighting the tidal wave of spam for so many years, the admins had a persistent thought: what if the spammers are right? Not in terms of posting nonsense links and trying to scam our users, but in trying to make money through our unique platform?

Well, thanks to the helpful counsel of Taunt, we have finally decided to move the forum in a new direction. Please see his important post on the matter in this topic

Aydin actually was very useful, at least to me. Since he and Shelton had Dragonstorm accounts, they were able to pose as inspector and bodyguard, and gave Aydin the opportunity to download all the information off of Trinity's computer, which he sent to a remote source to be picked up later. He also used his thought chip to help tell Shelton what to say, since Shelton wasn't doing too well pretending to be an inspector :lol

So yeah, you could say Aydin was one of the most important characters during the Trinity invasion.

I'll keep his adventures that you had with him in mind, and if I have to be absent again for a long time, and you are available, I will gladly let you use Aydin again.  :)

For now, I have to develop what he was originally intended for, however, at least in his relation to Aimee.

At least this stupid Aimee-Cale thing might very well give me a chance to let Stern go all "psycho-marine" on them, which is something I've always wanted to do, despite Stern being quite stoic. Even he has a "berserk button."

Kinda like this:

I also finally need to get back to my TV Tropes page regarding the fantasy RP. Real life makes these things really hard sometimes.

Feel free to ask me or Serris questions if you have them!

I might. I really need to talk with Mr. Drake, and to some extent, to Starfall. If it goes well, all will be fine. If not, Stern will be able to fix it.

P.S. It REALLY isn't a good idea to tell me one thing, and change it without telling me. You know who you are.

I created Aydin for the primary purpose of pairing with Aimee, you know. I even talked to MrDrake about it on MSN, and he guided me in making a male Vulpine character his own race. I have the conversation saved in my cache on MSN. It is slightly maddening to change the plans unilaterally when we BOTH agreed to do something. I had no warning, no message, no contact on MSN and no PM.

While I cannot control his characters, I can make mine react in a fashion to... work on the situation.

This would not have happened had I been here more, but real life cannot be put off, especially when it comes to work, school, and graduation.

Yeah, sorry about that.  That's kinda what I do, do things, change things without really telling others....

But it's kinda odd to make someone just for that sole purpose.  I mean, I for one would rather create characters mainy that have a connection to my characters and all, not for a relationship ordeal....but hey, that's just me anyway.

Although, I do see where you're going with that one there, and again, I do appologize for that.

Then, fix it. If you are sorry, you will change it. If you don't fix what is easily in your power to fix, you aren't very sorry after all, are you?

Also...

I did NOT make Aydin for the SOLE purpose of pairing with Aimee, that was his PRIMARY purpose. He is also a character who has experience with technology and insight into dragonstorm.

But I even had him come from the same settlement as Aimee, the same place, the same background. It was all set up to work from a narrative point of view, as we agreed, and you broke it in an instant. I am not jealous, but a bit mad at the principle of it. If you had wanted to end the plan at any time you could have just told me, but you did not. You had literally months to tell me.

You can always pair another female up with Cale, btw.

We could pair Aydin with an untaken female. Kiara is free, I believe. That way everyone wins.

(Just a suggestion, I wasn't privvy to the MSNs or anything, so I'm speaking as an outsider. Just don't want anyone to get mad at each other :))

No thanks. I offered another compromise on a PM. That way, he can do the Cale thing AND honor his word.

Plus, Kiara is... not what I had in mind for Aydin. Really. She's... you know.

I finally return to the RP and this is what I find? It's like returning from the army to find that your girl who told you she would wait for you is seeing another guy.   :blink:

I've never had anything like that happen in real-life, thank goodness. I'm just glad I've been able to offer a compromise.

Well, just replied to your PM.  All we have to do I believe anyway, is to wait for Starfall to say on his behalf what he thinks and what have you, as I said to you.  If all does go well, then I will offer him a comprimise as well, with something I have in mind too....well, nothing big anyway, small idea buzzing around.

As for Kiara, what do you mean?  That she's a coyote? Part of the FBI? Just asking, as I don't know what you mean exactly.  Cause if you mean bisexual, that isn't exactly true, I haven't really given it enough thought, only on Hailey's side you know.....doesn't mean it's going to work out between them....even I'm not sure if it will.

I don't want to pair a fox and a coyote. Please. Really.

Just let Aimee have her "fun" with Cale, then go back to what you said you would do in the first place. I'm the one giving a concession here, asking you for nothing else except what you said you would give in the first place. I'll contact Starfall too. Just make sure to say that you forgot to tell him that you had already made plans with me.

Heck, if it made him happy, I'd give him TEN females for Cale if that's what it took.   :rolleyes:

This whole thing reminds me of the movie "Casablanca." The lady ended up getting on the plane with her husband who has prisoner for a long time, and not Humphrey Bogart, who she fell in love with, thinking that her true husband was dead, but turned out to be alive later.

EDIT: I just set up a good rationale for it in the RP, told from the point of view of one of Aimee's own kind. Just read that long speech that Aydin gives to Stern.

We seem to be staying put for now. At least for a day or two, game-time wise. Maybe a few days.

Well, I know they're going to a hotel, that's for sure.

But as for how long, I'm not sure.  I would imagine for at least one night, maybe two nights.

But they are at the moment, still outside the destroyed facility, about to head out more or less to said hotel.

Given the issues, if we can manage two nights, that would be better. It isn't up to me, but that would work out best.

Yeah, I've been trying to move this RP along a bit actually.  I mean, I had to get the facility destroyed, it was taking too long near the end of it all and with them hanging around, I might just do the same, to move it along some more to a hotel.

Since, once all are at a hotel, it can be a bit more open and what have you.
