Your only complaint is that I play my characters too well, as far as I'm concerned. Without regard for others' characters? Only where it's deserved, which is where egos are equal or greater to my own. Simply put, friction is a two-party mechanism; I have only to find a resistant surface by which to find a problem. I can't count the multitudes I've run into that offer no such resistance - and ironically, you'll find they have greater influence on my character - Byronn chopping off my paw, promising Kentar he could kill Anba (which I apologize I can't now keep), and allowing Bottlebrush to almost fatally wound him. I let them be part of his story, and I swallowed my pride and let Hactor make Anba into a subserviant sidekick, even while he had some IC contol over his decision-making.

But I have made some mistakes, and interestingly enough, both times those mistakes involved bringing my character into Redwall. The place where EVERYONE is having a vision of Martin, where stories that have little or no basis in actual RP abound, and where it can't even be decided what the general situation is, for fear that RP within might actually coalesce into a believable series of events!

I'm through putting in time and seeing efforts turned into a half-witted free-for-all just because it CAN be - I offered only my story to be added to the mix - ideas when old ones had started to become stale. What many of you want seems to be a vermin leader (Hactor) that somehow has an ambition to waste soldiers in a bloody battle and then to give them little more than what they could have had in otherwise walking right in, and insulting them further by treating the former tenants the same. Somehow I don't think most vermin are peace-loving visionaries.

All that aside, it just isn't worth my time. You can see how plainly I love this place - go to my page here on the site, go to my detailed map of Mossflower Woods, to see that. None of this is for me - especially in retrospect: all that time can never be returned to me.
