Despite the fact that I have the email address I use for the lurk pages on the front page twice, this was still sent to my personal hotmail account. NOTE: anyone else who uses my shadefell account for lurk business will be shot. I also have no idea who "OmenNytemare" is.
Shadey,
I am asking as a friend and as owner of the room, known as Dark Sanctuary,Did she think I'd forget which room was hers? I'm insulted. I'm slightly more intellegent than a brick, you know. Not much, but enough that I know which room's hers. that you please remove us from the 'lurk pages'. I admit that some of the comments are funny and such. But I do not like being made fun of and I know that there are others, especially those new to RP that would also take an offense to it even if all in fun. Therefore please remove all mention to the room from your page. Thank you, KJ Deal kjdeal@flare.net
Shadey,
I admit that I do not personally know you.You don't know me, and I have no idea who you are, but you call me by a nick name. Smooth. Real smooth. But I ask as well,This indicates that KJ initiated this project, which is odd, since a few nights before she had commented on how much she enjoyed them. I really don't care if people like my page or not, but why lie about it? I mean, honestly. please remove the DS from the Lurk Pages. The amount of time and energy that KJ and I put into our project, to have it trashed publicly, hurts.I put a lot of time and energy into MY project, too. Are you saying yours is better than mine? I'm hurt. I'm going to cry. And I'm not trashing it. Alot of the jabs are poked at KJ and myself, and in your own rules, you say not to make it personal.I have no idea who you are, or who you play. I don't keep track of that. In fact, the only way I can tell is if people start talking out of character and referring to each other by name. You may have noticed, if you bothered to actually LOOK at any of the lurks, that I delete ISP numbers. I have no idea who plays who, and I don't care. Hence, how can it be personal attacks? Help me out here. It seems as if some of those are personal. I can point out where, the role play, that I am helping provide, for my friends, for their enjoyment.I have no idea what thought this sentance was meant to convey. None. And that's not "ridicule," it's fact. Is ridiculed by someone, who doesn't even have the decency to Attempt RP in our room. I originally didn't start role playing in KJ's room (and yours too, I suppose) for two reasons. One, I was receiving invitations to a BUNCH of rooms (over 5) and was electing not to join ANY of them. I forget what the second was. It must have been incredibly important though. However, even if I wanted to, I would not be able to role play in there because I have been banned. I don't know why. I was banned before the Lurk Pages went up. We started the DS with hopes it would be something different, and I love it, I have a lot of fun there. Am I preventing you from having fun? Am I holding a gun to your head and removing all fun elements? Am I preventing you from role playing by flooding the room or interfering with your actions? No. I'm making public what everyone thinks.So I ask you as a fellow RPer please remove the DS from your Lurk pages. Thank you.
Gabriel, co-owner of the Dark Sanctuary
This was an incredibly cordial letter. Thanks guys. I replied to you privately and will reply here, again. Why? Because I feel like it.
Dark Sanctuary is NOT the only chat room to be lurked. I Lurk in Ben Chat, Solace, Vampyre Chat, and Jesus Was a Cross Dresser. Dark Sanctuary gets the most "air play" because it's got the most people. So, congratulations, you guys have the best room out there, apparently.
I also edit the stuff I get. Not always immediatly, but I do cut out a lot of stuff that IS "personal attacks." Some lurks never even get posted.
Basicaly, what I'm saying is, I'm not taking Dark Sanctuary down. If you don't like what's being said, think about what you're doing. A lot of it is unintentionally hilarious. And a lot of it is good, solid role play, too.
I have a head ache. I might put more up later.
