What is this pearl? What is it's purpose? What does it represent?
This shouldn't be just a social pearl. The purpose of this linkshell was to unite the RP community here on Besaid.
When you are in this pearl, you are representing all of us. Everything you say reflects on us as a whole. When we invite new RPers, you know what they see? F-bombs and constant sex talk.
THAT is my problem with the behavior in the LS lately. That is why I left. I don't want to be associated with it, because I am embarrassed and I don't want everyone to think I am like that. When I was inviting new people, I told them to mute the shell, or to please ignore what was happening. Those who are doing these things are dragging /all/ of us through the mud. RPers have a bad reputation as it is, just look at the official forums. We're freaks, or we're all just eRPers. We're being stereotyped over the behavior of a few people.
I have blacklisted people in our own community now. I never wanted to do that, because I didn't want to ever exclude someone ICly because of OOC behavior. Now, I am ignoring people completely IC because of this, because they are promoting a stereotype of RPers that I do not want to be associated with. Because they are too inconsiderate to think about others and the community. I will not be RPing with these people, and I will be encouraging others to not RP with them either, because until they learn to keep it private and stop basically slandering the RP community as a whole, I don't think they should deserve it.
I don't care if you eRP. I don't care if you're a guy playing a girl, or a girl playing a guy. I don't care if you're a futa, or if you're Ifrit's godchild. But when you make those things public (and Intermission is a PUBLIC SHELL--every RPer who wants to be invited will be), that is where the problem arises.
The point of all of this.. Have a little self-control. Keep it in your own personal shells, keep it in tells. If this shell is going to succeed this time around, the only way it's going to happen is if we have some sort of ground rules and remember the common goal.
