*bows and begins another long post*
Pardon, but I have been gone for the last day or so, and will not stand for my character being assassinated in this way.
What can I say? I bring out the worst in folks, don't I? In truth, I work day and night to undermine the very roots of this game. My ingame trolling is legendary, while my forum behavior is horrid. On irc, my very name strikes disgust and fear into the hearts of all...
Sorry for the sarcasm folks, but that is a part of me. I'll not likely change.

As to the long post, I was once told I argue with no concrete evidence, so there it is. Now I am told by that same person that the post was excessively long. Which way do you want it? The point I was making there was also completely missed again. It had nothing to do with being ooc. I see now I should have laid it out play by play, sports announcer style. If he wishes it, I will do so in a PM, and then he can accuse me of assaulting him there also, as he has done before (not to me in particular).
The point is -stated plainly- I have seen zanzibar's 'roleplaying' on several occasions as my various characters, and he has no right to criticize other's RP in his passive aggressive style. However, this is of no import in my dislike of him. I have RPed with far worse (refering to a 'Blue Angel' Kran, not any of you...unless you are that kran.

)
We all know he is an expert at goading people into arguments, then claiming to be the victim. If you take one look at his very long set of posts, many deleted I'm sure, you will see this to be true. His IRC records are the same. I need no proof in this, as most of you have seen it. Even in my PS logs, you can see it. He -loves- to argue. If he is reading this right now, I am sure the possible quotes are turning in his mind. So be it.
It was not I who started the contact between us. That honor would belong to Shal. I still wonder what class of medieval warrior character says "Whoo... ...scary" then later blows raspberries. That is not sarcasm. I honestly wonder. If I am to RP with him at all, am I to treat his character as his description reads, or as the immature child he seems to be roleplaying? That is not a flame, just a simple question. I hope he can answer it ingame
And yes, I've tried to work things out privately with him, but he doesn't want to. Instead of working things out, he ignores my messages, he /ignores me on IRC, and he trolls the forums with his garbage. He has no interest in either resolving it nor keeping it private.
I would like to point out that this is bordering on a lie, and shame on you for using it to attempt to raise yourself above me. You sent a single PM to me, not 'messages'. 24 words. And it was more alike to bait into an argument than reconciliation. Don't you dare try to look as if you have made any effort at all here. It was -I- many months ago that apologized in a PM for something I said on irc the day before, that I thought may have been rude. You responded by saying you did not remember, as you get into so many arguments you can't keep track. Just -one- day later.
Then the comment about irc. I did ignore you, but not /ignore. I have every word you wrote, and how childish you became at the thought of being ignored. Not to mention the 'argument' last week when you claimed we were all trolls between spouts of half coherent gibberish, and kept gloating over and over again that you won. Of course you are going to think you won when no one has a clue what you are saying.
As for garbage and trolling on the forums: Read my posts. You claim that I am a troll. Give me proof besides the two posts on this thread. Perhaps if you are lucky, you may find one or two more out of the 800 or so where I may have gotten upset. Search your own post and see how many end in arguments. Garbage? Troller, troll thy self.
Now you also claim to read my thoughts. I would resolve this, but the only way to ever resolve anything with you is to agree with you completely and RP as you think is proper. I say this now, that will never happen. I try to make roleplaying fun for all those around me (with -one- single exception). I merge with what I can, and walk away from what I can't. Best wishes to all. -You- attack any roleplaying you do not see as right. Yes, attack. Whether by blatantly saying it did not happen, or trying to override others with your own 'roleplaying', which seems to be claiming that everyone else is crazy at times. You claim to only RP a character, and not a story. That is one thing that no one can understand. Every single thing you do, in game or even real life, adds to a story. the story is not prewritten. It is in our memories. It is how we remember friends gone. Your own Dark Empire is part of your story. A story is not something you read and act out, it is something you live. Until you understand this, we will never agree.
To reinstate the above, none of what I do ingame is scripted. Anything I write either did not happen ingame, or was adapted -from- actual logs.
Now, I have seen many threads where you rile everyone up, then try to act innocent. You act like you don't know why everyone would be mad at you. I know people like you. They thrive on conflict. You thrive on conflict. Deny it all you wish, but the proof is in your own words.
I know you are likely to claim I am the same, and there you would be wrong. You are the only one I have had great issue with. I have been through much harder ordeals with folks of this community than your petty bickering.
Anything more I have to say on this -will- be in PMs, since you desperately wish to settle our differences. There are many other things I could have commented on in your twisted acount of things, but I see no need. My friends know me for who I am. Your friends...
As to my other words, I take nothing back. What is said in anger, stays in anger. I sincerely doubt my renaming was coincidence, since I just checked something. Spook, Specter, Ghost, and even Apparition... taken and unbanned.
Lastly, things did work out well in the end. I will see everyone who has been RPing ingame with Haunt...as Haunt. Thanks.

@Kerol: Never do drugs.

On the RP aspect, when doing large RP, you can never control everything..or really anything. It is like battle. The best plan ends when your solders walk onto the battlefeild. After that, you can only hope for the best, and have many backup plans.
@zanzibar: you wish to keep things private? Then do so if, you are able. Unless you can't resist the urge to quote half of this post along with another one of your remarks aimed at draging the whole thing back into public. Your move.
