why do we need this? Sorry, excuse me for having a cool idea/opinion to share. Looking for real feedback, though. To be honest, I know I didn't sit here for 45 minutes typing this up to receive a one-liner.

In a more progressive sense, when you say if we need this, do you mean need a new role at all? Or this particular role? If it's the former, if you don't want a new role idea I don't see why I even have the option to give an idea. It seems redundant to me. All in all, please comment on what parts of my idea, if not the entire thing, makes you so against the idea.

Really it's funny, every single role idea I've posted had been attacked within minutes, I've yet to receive even a compliment or thanks for my effort, not that I'm expecting it. Just the thought would be nice. It's starting to make me think if the staff here is just consider themselves a "frontline defense" for BMG or if I'm just a sensitive person. I mean, I feel like my ideas are being shot down before even being considered, here.

Hot damn am I going to have fun today!

Okay, Mr. Llama. Lots of users have become really active on the forum, and most of them contribute to the community by suggesting roles. I am fine with that. But as these people are new here (and you are one of them), they do not understand how basic mechanics work.

(Taking a quick break here to note that Vert wasn't rejecting your role, he was asking a good question, maybe THE most important question. If a role doesn't add to the game then it should be trashed.)

Vert, Momo, Me, and even Venera and HAWAIIAN now are becoming 'roleblockers' (my term). In other words, we go over roles. If we note that xyz is abc, then accept that your role isn't perfect and move on. The best way to get better is to learn from your mistakes. And the worst way is to yell at the people who point out your mistakes as if your mistakes are their fault.

Now, Ive also noted that you have been accepting input. And that's great! But if one more person (Vertroyer's boyfriend, SnokeSloth, the list goes on) yells at a role filter for doing what they do, I am going to lose it.

I hope the above was worth your 45 minutes. Well, just by your intro statement I can tell you enjoy shutting down us commoners. Not your fault though, you're staff for a reason, I guess!

To start off, what do you mean by "basic mechanics" Do you mean in role creation, or basic mechanics of playing the game itself? If so, then I would assume a large portion of this forum is uninformed on these "basic mechanics" and maybe it's not our fault that we don't have a rulebook to go by, (I apologize if there really is one, and I'm just too ignorant to look) or connections to ask whether something is fit or unfit.

Secondly, if saying, "why do we need this" ISN"T rejecting a role, I really don't know what is. It sounds pretty much like he is to me, and if he didn't mean it that way, it should really be rephrased.

Thirdly, if you fully read my propositioned role, you will see at the bottom of every role I propose I state that I am open to criticism and improvements in mechanics and technicality. In nowhere do I state that it is a perfect role, I even questioned myself as to whether a role is overpowered or underpowered.

I do not recall complaining/yelling about people pointing out my mistake. Reread my replies, maybe? You say that I take input, and I do. I take it very well -- only if it is said in a proper, civil manner. I don't yell. Typing properly with good grammar and punctuation is not yelling. I may add some sass, but I am not "yelling". If you were to hear me saying all of this in real life in my voice, you'd see I'm actually being extremely casual. Everything sounds more hostile in text form, and I'm very good at distinguishing the two.
