Icykiller ~ Things that need to be done.

New thread. Fresh start.

Now, a proper introduction:

I am the shadow in the night, the creaking outside your door, the chill up your spine, I am the scream in the air, the scratching at your window, the terrors in your dreams, I am the leak in your faucet, the stain on your shirt, the dirt on your nose that you can't scrub off, I am the second born son of Lucifer, the giggling devil, the insanity overlord, I am...

BatCrowPenguinman!

Yeah. *Pose*

My name is Orlando. I am currently thirteen years old, and I live in beautiful South Florida. I am 5'9", which is awesome. I'm raised by my mother, and on occasion father, and I have a brother. I have two cats that I hate, because they make too much noise, along with my dog. I hang out on the computer most of the day, because I'm lazy and find most human contact irritating. I hate listening or reading people complain, because I think complaining is last resort of people who are too lazy or unintelligent to work out their problems. Despite my rather ridiculous and outgoing personality online, I'm pretty quiet and down-to-earth in "real life." I'm also a really nice guy, or at least I like to think so, so I tend to just put up with things (like people complaining) until I boil over, so to speak.

I like playing games, writing, learning, and thinking. I like solving problems, because it makes me feel good. I run sort of regularly, if I'm not too lazy to do it. I used to play basketball a lot, but I only do it occasionally now. I aspire to be a mechanical engineer, but sometimes I'm afraid that I'm not capable/intelligent enough to be one. I'm a veteran role player, I've been in rp's since I was eleven or twelve, and I've been on this rp since it began. I'm also a mod on the Explosm forums, which is the forums for a web comic called "Cyanide and Happiness," which a lot of people find offensive but I find hilarious (I believe it just recently surpassed Penny Arcade to become the most viewed web comic on the internet) and awesome, no I won't reveal my identity on it! Be warned if you want to go check out the forums, they're all assholes (-_-).

I love Roleplay, specially this bleach roleplay, I'd do anything to help it thrive, it's as much a part of my childhood as my memories in "real life." My characters are all part of extensions of my personality, and I strive to do them justice by making my characters as unique and original as possible. I'm a human puppeteer by heart, quite literally. James apparantly view me as "Mr. Asian Fetish," which is fine with me. I hope that I can be the sort of middleman that this roleplay needs, to bridge the communication gap between the staff and members that has been an inexplicable problem for a while...

Now that you're all good and asleep...

*Unzips pants*

Heh heh heh!

What's your account on the explosm forum?
I've been reading them since like... a week after they came out, but never bothered with the forums (since it was made).

no I won't reveal my identity on it!

<3

If you don't tell me I'm going to hurt you

Pero Porque?

It's alright Mr. Crow.

Well, I crossed crow out... I'm penguin now!!! >=x
And on that note, go approve my vizard bio! D;

You won't say because you lied about being a MOD.

Here at Senkaimon, we staff try hard to work with our members. When you guys have complaints, we listen. When you guys need our help, we're there. When you guys are confused, we try to rectify that problem. Unlike many other boards, Senkaimon is unique in the fact that the Staff "live among the members." We're not some faraway group of elites that only swoop down into the roleplay to lay down the iron fist of judgment. That kind of bureaucracy has never been appealing to us.

So you'll understand how I get confused as to why some of the members (you guys know who you are) seem to always butt heads with the staff of well, by darn any roleplay. As if we're the "enemy," there is this odd mentality among a few that we're either naive, or just plain negligent, and that our "policies" are counterproductive to the growth of the roleplay. I just don't get the thinking behind this. We roleplay here at Senkaimon too, you know. We're not oblivious to the problems going on around here. I can only think, therefore, that the thought process is that we have some sort of malicious intent towards the members. Like, we want to make you unhappy?

Most of you reading this probably won't really get what I'm going on about. To be fair, member-staff relations have actually been rather well lately, aside from some issues with approval, so my rant might seem... unjustified?

So, there are obviously still problems. Let's hear them. Tell me, here, all of your complaints and suggestions concerning Senkaimon. Nothing is sacred, take your aim and fire without hesitation. Something needs to be done, so let's do it.

TIFA!

But an oscar-winning speech, had I not both created it and bought the copyright for it.

I've posted exactly three other Tifa pictures some where around on the forums. Look at all my topics to find them!!! And psht, tis my speech hoe! >=x

The thought has crossed my mind that maybe some of you guys don't actually have complaints, but are simply frustrated and expect the staff to bring the magic fix, and when we don't, you get critical. All I can say to this is that we're human, guys. We can lead a horse to water, but we can't make him drink. We need you, all of you, to pitch in. If every active member did an average of five scenes a day, five measly scenes, we'd have over a hundred scenes a day, not to mention that kind of activity would only inspire more activity in a cumulative effect.

To give an idea of the depressing situation: there are currently about 20 registered users, with only three of them active. (active meaning that they actually do stuff on forums, not even in rp. That's how sad it is)
