    I'm pretty sure I made it clear that it was a vote for the sake of voting more so to get the discussion going earlier, I hadn't changed it yet because it wasn't necessary it's not hurting Keland because the focus for multiple votes have been on others. I haven't decided who I am truely voting for yet. I didn't have time yesterday evening to post anyway, I started a couple of them and got caught up in something at home before I could finish it.. By the time I got back to it there were 10 more to read first and I just kept getting caught up in other things. Now that we only have 12 hours left it's a little different I will remove it to remove the chance of my one vote causing something I didn't intend but yesterday I didn't think there was a rush to get it off...

    All good points Orlok Personally, I was intrigued by the conversation about D1 Lynch... because I'm new and I think its important to understand the pro's and con's of something like this when you have never played before. For you veterans of the game I could see how it would be annoying or seem like a distraction, but for me (and maybe anyone else new?) it wasn't really beating a dead horse so to speak.... I've noticed that several people have remained silent so far, and I'm wondering who is lurking in the shadows watching people pointing their fingers at each other, laughing to themselves as they plot the villagers demise....

    Correct me if I'm wrong but this is what I am seeing so far: Lynch vote: Cubik Rube (1) - Sarah Jak (0) - Bugsy M'Hael (0) - Jak Sarah (2) - Keland, Mezal Keland (1) - Birgitte Lorien (1) - Cenn Trafalgar (1) - Tazrim Mezal (0) - Jak Ana-alline (1) - Eryn Mayor vote: Jak (2) - Jak, Sarah Mezal (2) - Mezal, Keland Tazrim Maim (1) - Tazrim Lomion (2) - Amaiya, Eryn, Gladium ----------------------- I'm glad i spoke my feelings about Mezal, because you were able to dismiss my feelings in a way I was looking for. I'm still just seeking to understand. And Keland I will likely retract my vote against you if need be, like I said earlier I wanted to start some where and it just seemed like a reasonable place since I didn't think my one vote would hurt you (and it hasn't so far). @winter lol there is no winning at trying to defend not being defensive >.> Edit: fixing character names and adding votes.

    Part of me wants to vote Mezal for mayor, because I like the way you gained control of the situation in your RP and sometimes you need an angry blacksmith to set crazy people straight..... But you seem to be overly paranoid about everyone right now and that doesn't seem to be safe, accusing people of voting for someone who hasn't posted (even tough Lomion did write a very well thought response to many arguments) makes me think you're jumping the gun and not being careful, I feel like you might be trying to stir the pot a little and it has me uneasy.... Edit: I know I'm new so I am not familiar with anyones past play styles or personalities outside of game and this is just my opinion/gut feeling at the moment.

    Birgitte awoke gasping, sweating for what seemed like the 100th time. She dropped her head back on her pillow, the sun was up, she felt as though she hadn't slept at all. Those dreams. The destruction. The pain. She hoped to the Light it was just her exhaustion and worry, but a part of her knew there was more. She took her time bathing and dressing before entering the kitchen in search of breakfast. Cook was hard at work and barely even noticed her coming and going. She could have sworn she heard her say "burn them, burn them all" under her breath while she worked over the boiling pot. Entering the common room, Gitte notices an eerie silence to the usually loud and bustling room. She saw everyone looking at a man with his head in his hands, "is that the mayor?" She wondered what would make him act like that? Suddenly the door burst open, having such unfortunate timing Gitte had been walking in just the right direction at just the right time, to be hit right in the back of her head with the door. Just before she lost consciousness she thought she saw the gleem of a dagger right near the Mayor, is that Inkeepeer Keland , but why would he.... Darkness Sorry Wilson, I don't have a reason for voting for you other than the fact that no one has, to keep it even for now and it went nicely with my story Just keeping the discussion going. Also I had this page open for a while before actually posting, and hopefully I didn't miss anything that would make my RP inconsistent! Edit: correcting punctuation/spelling etc. I'm tired...

    Okay, I'm diving in and giving this a try, I am completely new to this so please if it seems like I'm confused about something don't hesitate to point me in the right direction WoT is my favoirte series of all time and I just cannot resist! Birgitte Jailee, a farmers daughter who is working at the local inn as a serving girl. Here is my first ever attempt at an RP, don't judge too harshly: Birgitte, or Gitte as her pa called her, wiped down the table as the last visitors retreated to their room for the night, there were many strangers in town, far more than usual. Gitte was often mocked for her name, she was no hero but had the long locks of strikingly yellow hair just like her namesake. Named for Birgitte Silverbow, a hero of the horn who answered the call to aid the light for thousands of years, not a farmer's daughter. Sometimes she felt as though her mother was too caught up in stories,"my only talent is batting my eyes and serving ale," she muttered to herself grudgingly. She had the meek, pretty serving girl act perfected. Just the right amount of appeal for the patrons to want to leave her extra coin without getting her bottom squeezed by men who were as old as her pa. She had learned that men liked to talk, more so than the village women, especially when they have had a drink or two. She had learned more about her fellow villagers in the last six months than she had her whole life. They seemed to forget about her when their mugs were full and she was able to pay attention to more than they would have liked. Wiping her brow with her sleeve, she sighed, she didn't want to be working at the inn, she had always dreamed of going to Tar Valon. Her family couldn't afford to lose her now. This had been the worst year for farming she could remember. Her pa tried to convince her that she didn't need to go to the village to work but she could see the weariness growing in his eyes. Her brothers and sisters were getting thinner and losing their spark, but no one complained. "Who am I kidding, I have no talents anyway, the tower would send me away in shame and then what would I have." Bringing the last of the mugs into the kitchen, she was struck with a feeling of dread. Gitte tried to shake the feeling as just being over tired, but for some reason she could not stop feeling as though something awful was coming. She retired to the room she shared with the inn keepers daughter, who was already sound asleep, and tried to force herself to relax, Light knows she needed the sleep. Nightmare after nightmare, "Creator protect us" she mumbled, as she surrendered again to restless sleep.

    I am so confused about Baelish's motives here too!! In the book...
  11. jaimeleecee
    Continuing her momentum and some form of interpretive dance Jaime belts, "you want your freedom take iiiiiiiit! That's what I'm counting on... I used to want you dead but, now I only want you gone!!" Then opens her laptop and proceeds to play portal for hours and hours because she just needed to!!

    You know what really grinds my gears? When people don't know that Congratulations is not spelled with a d and they write Congrads! On people's posts >.> maybe sometimes it's intentional and they just like the way that sounds better than congrats, but for some reason it drives me crazy!
  13. jaimeleecee
    Yeah you're definitely right... I know we don't need to have all the same interests and I'm definitely okay with having my own things while he has his (our relationship has always kind of been that way). I think what gets me is what I was starting to say towards the end, that I just feel invalidated by him and not caring about my interests is just one thing that I can pick at without looking at the deeper issue, because it's easier to pick at things on the surface that don't mean as much than address the real issue, amiright? I think sometimes I just need to vent about what's frustrating me, realize what I'm actually upset about and find a way to dismiss it as irrational or something that can be addressed in a rational way. (I'm a therapist, and sometimes I need to vent to keep myself sane and actually practice what I preach

    I just need to vent about this.. The fact that my dude has no interest in Brandon or the Cosmere definitely bothers me sometimes... I get so enthusiastic about things and I want to share them with him and he looks at me like I'm crazy and then tries to cover it up with a supportive, "that's so awesome for you!" gahhh It's not like hes completely uninterested in this stuff, hes just not really a reader. We are nerds together when it comes to things like Star Wars, LOTR, GoT, Marvel stuff and some video games (very few however, hes not a gamer like me). But when it comes to 3 of my favorites, Dr. Who, Star Trek, and all things Brandon I am utterly alone (aside from here at the shard, thank you all for existing, you might be saving my relationship). At the same time, he is a musician and an artist (woodworking, furniture design.. it truly is an art) and I cannot relate to these things at all. I like music of course, so I am always supportive I go to all his shows and encourage everything he does. I try and take a genuine interest in all the things he loves even if it is not my own interest (asking questions, getting him to talk about things, trying to understand it better). I guess its deeper than him not liking the exact same stuff as me, what bothers me is the fact that he doesn't really seem to care to try and understand like I do. And believe me I'm not so shallow as to only care about our mutual interests. We have been together for 3.5 years, were friends for 2 years before that. We have a house and a dog.. by no means do I really feel that this is ruining our relationship it just gets me down every once in a while, when I feel like he can't truly understand me. Aha the root of the problem at last, catharsis at it's finest! Thanks for letting me rant about this, don't judge me too hard

    I had a very similar experience, Wheel of Time is my favorite series of all time, and unfortunately I too feel guilty saying Brandon's books were my favorite... I know that he was writing the true climax of the story so of course it was more fun and exciting than the earlier ones, but I agree that the last few Jordan wrote seemed... off.. I've heard he wasn't quite himself towards the end of his life and unfortunately I think it shows in his writing. I do give him all the credit though for the story itself as he did indicate what was to happen and how in his notes, it's still his story, but Brandon gave it real life again. I was head over heels in love with him from The Gathering Storm on. I went to Stormlight Archive first after WoT because it had a similar appeal to me in the sense that it was a long high fantasy series that I would also love for years and years. After breezing through WoK I needed more! Mistborn came next, then the rest followed. I think about the Cosmere all the time, I'm always going back and trying to learn new connections and re-read (or listen to the audio books) to pick up on stuff I missed the first time, Brandon has taken over my life (in a good way.)

    Literally, everyone. He has love for all
  17. jaimeleecee
    I was actually referring to the few earlier posts in the thread where people were saying they were either wondering or commenting on how they would match up when the next book finally comes out and what not, sorry for the confusion I wasn't thinking about your post at all
  18. jaimeleecee
    Its so much a matter of perspective, I think someone like TLR cannot be remorseful because it would mean he has regrets, when he feels he did the best he could knowing what he was saving the world from in his opinion. It makes me think of the end of Wheel of Time
  19. jaimeleecee
    Very good point.. as a Therapist, I would hope people would be more respectful of support groups and online support communities, as that is not the time or place for a debate.. but I imagine that is certainly not always the case. Everyone is entitled to their own feelings, as all feelings are a matter of perception. It's no ones place to invalidate someones feelings even if they don't agree.
  20. jaimeleecee
    Oh god, yes. I think that can be just as bad as being mean and ignorant.
  21. jaimeleecee
    I agree 100% discussion is the key to understanding, but no one wants to give the other group a chance for fear that they might be proven wrong. The point is not to be right or wrong but to discover what would be the most beneficial to all, and unfortunately sometimes that means what you initially believed is not the answer, but that doesn't necessarily make you wrong. People need to learn to put their egos aside.. wishful thinking
  22. jaimeleecee
    They've already ruined so many story lines that there is no turning back, the books and the show will be very different from here on out.
  23. jaimeleecee
    ^This I miss being able to have an informed debate with someone who opposes my views, I think that is a healthy way to broaden your understanding. You may have the facts on your side but once you learn facts from the other side there is so much more to consider. Arguing for the sake of arguing or because you just don't like what someone has to say (or the someone) is the worst form of ignorance. Do your research and then please, "come at me bro" lets debate the rust out of this with all of our evidence and supporting opinions, without insulting each other! phew... Edit: this is the first time I attempted cursing in a post and I am so pleased with the outcome
  24. jaimeleecee
    This a great general overview, thanks for taking the time to put it all together! ^.^
