I'm going to hear what everyone has to say first before I decide anything.
(You punch me and you will end up on the other side of my DG-X)
"No matter how strong or what power the enemy has, I will fight and protect my friends, even if it cost me my life to protect them. I will fight until I die to ensure their future."
Never once have I actually meant to bash on you Zekai, and I'm sure the others didn't... well at least to my knowledge.
I'm a pretty reasonable guy, and people like S1 and TRXD are pretty reasonable to. I guess we all just got a little carried away, and are too used to certain things.
People can still give out quite a bit of information, while still keep some elements of surprise. It's just kind of hard to do, but I have seen others do it in more... advanced RP's. Which is not what all the RP's here...
I guess what I'm trying to say is that I'm sorry if I ever meant to make you pissed off, or if I ever bashed on you. I never once meant to. Like I said I just guess I got carried away. I can't speak for everyone here that has bashed on you, but I am truthfully sorry Zekai.
If you wish I can easily make a rule for TSU that states that when someone makes an app, that they have to inform you. I can also add a few more rules to make it more fair to everyone in TSU so that you won't be at least bashed for anything you or anyone might end up doing in the future of TSU. I will try to make sure that at the least TSU will be fair towards everyone. Such as EVERYONE making a list of their characters current abilities with their magic, and add them to their app as well as updating the app to be a bit more detailed, while at the same time trying not to put to much information in.
Well anyways dude I'm sorry for anything I have done, and I will try to be as direct with you as possible.
Now if anyone will excuse me I will go think about my life now... I feel like I have to do that...
Yes, seriously. I'm thick headed like everyone else in my family and we say what we want to in any way we can.
@SUS
You never really bashed me much like they did, all you did was reject an idea I had (which is fine) and we had to talk so I can use Zero's magic the way I wanted, even though I had to make drawbacks to do it but that's fine.
"No matter how strong or what power the enemy has, I will fight and protect my friends, even if it cost me my life to protect them. I will fight until I die to ensure their future."
I'm back everyone, and I read the sh*tstorm that has been brewing.
@Zekai
Zekai, I'm going to be honest with you, and once I'm done speaking, I want you to know that I am not trying to piss you off.
I'll be honest, you are perhaps the first person in the community that has tried my patience, but despite that, I don't hold any ill will against you. Now for the hard part, the part that might piss you off, even though I'm not trying to do so.
WHY THE HELL AM I THE ONLY ONE THAT GETS BASHED WITH QUESTIONS ABOUT MY APPS?! (Except Ryofu's is the only one that hasn't gotten a bash) Don't say it's "constructive crititism" or whatever the fuck you call it, IT'S FUCKING BASHING especially when you tell me how this should of been done or do this instead. You all make it sound like I HAVE TO HAVE 100% of my character explained and can't have any elements of surprise, which I like to do at times. I noticed that I'm the only one that gets bashed with questions and yet, everyone else doesn't. I don't think that's fair and am sick of it.
That is constructive criticism! That is the very meaning of constructive criticism, so don't you dare think otherwise! Do you really want to know what bashing is? This is an example, so do NOT think I actually mean this: "You made a mistake, you suck. If you can't do it right, don't do it at all. You suck, quit trying. You are incompetent, please die this instant."
See? THAT is bashing. Us giving you suggestions is NOT bashing. We are trying to help you, so stop taking our criticism so personally and lighten up. Stop thinking that we're targeting you. I've given constructive criticism to Cucoo, Mima, Kristia, and many others, and I have received constructive criticism in turn. THAT is how progress is made. THAT is how you improve.
As for revealing sudden powers, ask first. All of us do the same, so don't you dare think for a second that we are targeting you. For ATWAG, I have asked every single time about John's abilities before implementing them in the RP, and have asked for criticism, asked for people to give their honest opinions on new abilities. In fact, one of them is a future set of abilities that he will gain from the "Genesong", a dormant piece of DNA that was implanted in him by The Librarian during Halo 4. Before you say anything about this, like "but it will ruin surprises I have in store for everyone else", know that there is such a thing as a nasty surprise. That would be like if I had John fight someone in the RP, then suddenly said that John could move like lightning. From there, I could say that he simply auto-dodges and auto-hits every single person in the RP. Do you see the problem? That is not acceptable, and I would expect anyone of the RPers here to call me on my bullsh*t. I may be one of the most active RPers here, and people may or may not hold my opinion in high regard, but that does NOT exempt me from the rules. If we tell you something, stop being stubborn, be patient, and don't take it as a personal attack. That is all I ask of you.
As for the magic sense, read the definition of "sense".
Spoiler A faculty by which the body perceives an external stimulus; one of the faculties of sight, smell, hearing, taste, and touch. "the bear has a keen sense of smell that enables it to hunt at dusk" synonyms: sensory faculty, feeling, sensation, perception
2. a feeling that something is the case. "she had the sense of being a political outsider" synonyms: feeling, awareness, sensation, consciousness, recognition More an awareness or feeling that one is in a specified state. "you can improve your general health and sense of well-being" a keen intuitive awareness of or sensitivity to the presence or importance of something. "she had a fine sense of comic timing" synonyms: appreciation, awareness, understanding, comprehension, discernment
3. a sane and realistic attitude to situations and problems. "he earned respect by the good sense he showed at meetings" synonyms: wisdom, common sense, sagacity, discernment, perception; More antonyms: stupidity a reasonable or comprehensible rationale. "I can't see the sense in leaving all the work to you" synonyms: purpose, point, reason, object, motive; More
4. a way in which an expression or a situation can be interpreted; a meaning. "it is not clear which sense of the word characters is intended in this passage" synonyms: meaning, definition, import, signification, significance, purport, implication, nuance; More
5. MATHEMATICSPHYSICS a property, e.g., direction of motion, distinguishing a pair of objects, quantities, effects, etc., that differ only in that each is the reverse of the other.

"she could sense her father's anger rising" be aware that something is the case without being able to define exactly how one knows. "he could sense that he wasn't liked" (of a machine or similar device) detect. "an optical fiber senses a current flowing in a conductor"
THAT is my evidence. It does not matter if he learned it by years of training or not. It's a sense. I am being completely and utterly honest with you on this. He is perceiving and/or mentally/physically feeling (note how I did not say psychologically feeling) the magic, and because he is perceiving or mentally/physically feeling it, it is a sense by definition. Stop thinking otherwise. If multiple people are telling you that it's a sense, then maybe they're right. As for suddenly giving it to him, ask first. TRXD is not the only one allowed to have sense powers, but what we ask of you is to ask first. From there, we will try to balance it so that it cannot be abused to the point of breaking the RP. We are simply trying to keep the honest people honest, so don't think we don't trust you about it.
I will admit that TRXD crossed the line when he was being snide earlier, and I have spoken to him about it, as evidenced in my section for him below. I really hope you stay with us, but if you do, please, PLEASE carefully consider what we have to say next time. We try to help each other, even if it means showing tough love every once in a while, okay? It's kind of like a family, a community. When one of us makes a mistake, we tell each other about it. We keep each other in check and try to make things as fair as possible. That is how close we are. We are close enough as a community that we can be honest with each other, not brutally honest or snide, but honest without screaming at each other, without getting overly pissed off at each other. Sure, we may get on each other's nerves every once in a while, but that does not mean that we should take it personally. We stick together, even with all our flaws and mistakes. We genuinely care for one another, and because of that, we care about you. We care about you enough to be honest with you without talking back, being snide, or personally attacking you.
I hope you read this and decide to stay with us, because if you do, we will welcome you back with open arms, as a community should do, okay? :)
@TRXD
I saw your post in TSU OOC, and also your post here, and all I have to say is this.
Simply put, you crossed the line. Do not do that again. You are a Moderator, and as such, it is not only your job, but your duty to remain neutral. You do not add biting remarks and try to be snide about it, even if it seems clever. Our job is to remain neutral, to take no one's side, and to hand someone the truth without sharpening it. We can be nice, but we must still remain firm when need be. Metaphorically, we hand the offender the truth in brick format, like a bar of gold, not sharpen it and stab them with it. I saw that you were showing some remorse, or second guessed your choice of words, so I'm not too mad or anything, but I ask you not to do that again. I am at least glad that you decided to rethink your decision and thought that you might have made a bad decision.
Know that I'm not trying to be mean. If I ever cross the line, or do something bad, I encourage you to straight-up tell me about it. Call me on my bullsh*t, and do not ever let me make the same mistake again. It's just that people count on us, rely on us to keep things running smoothly, to dole out fair and honest judgement. Our job is important, and because of that, we have to be careful about how we handle situations and with what we say. We must be kind and compassionate, but also firm and just when the situation demands it. Think of it like channeling your inner Shikieiki.

For the last fucking time, STOP CALLING IT A SENSE!! It's like when the wind bows and you feel it, same concept, you feel the wind, not sense it. LAST TIME I'M EXPLAINING THIS SHIT. If I want your help then I'll ask but if I don't ask then don't give it to me. Call it whatever you want, criticism or whatever, if you tell me how something should be done or whatever, I'm classifying it as bashing. Once I hear TRXD's opinion, I'll make my decision on returning or not.
"No matter how strong or what power the enemy has, I will fight and protect my friends, even if it cost me my life to protect them. I will fight until I die to ensure their future."
Zekai, you said that you didn't get the best in English, right? As far as I know at least, feeling is a synonym of sensing. They ate the same thing. When the wind blows you are both feeling it and sensing it.
Secondly as for keeping secrets. Is stayed in the rules of TSU that if you want to have secrets, is okay, bit you have to tell our at some point during the IC AND you have to send a PM to SUSTIC about the secrets and explain them to him.
