Scythe

Don't count on me, when I am down, I am much further down than you and I will drag you with me. What you need is a happy personality who cheers you up.

I know what a SVG file is... just that you missspelled it made me wonder. ^^

I think your rage is just a manifestation of your fear. I know what you feel, I'm completely alone too, crying about it more often than it would be good for me. I can only give you one advice:

Ponies will not always cheer you up. Depending on what got you down they might make it worse. If you notice they do, think about something else, but that's not the only thing that helps. You can always remember the good sides of ponies and it will cheer you up.

Unlike you I don't get mad at being alone, I'm just sad - I can't tell you what's more horrible though.

I don't want to state my personal opinion about his response here as this will get me banned in no time, but I want to say that I intended it to be an open discussion so every member can say how they feel about it.

Just because Artax's opinion is more important doesn't mean we should disregard everyones opinion in favour of his.

I know the forums isn't a democracy, but does that mean we should simply ignore everyone? If so, then I'm sorry.

P.S.: He did NOT adress all of it and especially responded to the RP Helper Rank with exactly the response that I adressed before he even wrote it.

Quote:

The award would obviously stay, since there is a need to distinguish between the normal RP Helper and a Senior RP Helper.

One might argue the difference is negligible - it is not. A new member usually tends to categorize quickly. Awards are seens as rather irrelevant. Avatars, ranks and other fancy things on the left are mostly considered interesting if not important.

And he wrote:

Role Play Helpers may be identified by the following banners: and for Senior Helpstaff. The suggestion to use the old diamond image is redundant.

Or in other words I stated "Using the old image is not redundant because [...]" and he said "It's redundant".

If he wrote "Thanks for suggestion, kkthxbye. /lock" it would have been the exact same. And here I want to ask again - why can't we have a discussion? A bit of community work?

SVD?

We solved that issue, just letting you know.

Yes I have been talking to the Helpstaff. I don't fully understand everything right now and I'm a bit confused, but let me tell you what I know and did:

I asked Vinyl if he wants to keep leading the Shadowbolts, since he seems to be very busy and rarely online. He then said that he wouldn't mind if someone else is taking over for him and I said I would like to do so. He accepted that and I left the leadership to Tales, while I am managing the RPs.

As far as the Helpstaff told me the Shadowbolts are by lore a flight team like the Aeroblades. They might be based on the story of Nightmare Moon, but they are founded by a business man and not really part of the cast. Since the original cast Shadowbolts were only an illusion from Nightmare Moon. Our Shadowbolts are just ponies who like the idea behind the name and love to play the "evil" flight team.

On my side I'm very confused now wether I can go on with this or not - I just know that the Helpstaff didn't intervene anywhere and they always had access to all the information on my side.

Seeing that this comment is from 12.12. it might be that this is already resolved?

Responding to life brings me more disappointment - thats why I have trouble doing something out of my own force.

I also replaced the picture with a less ... offending one.

I know the rules pretty well and I think I'm quite good at working around issues =P aka people wanting their character to be a certain way which doesn't fit into mane RP and I have ideas how make it suitable while still giving the character what he/she needs.
