Regarding Formspring

[(Anonymous)]

If you expect to be accepted among the ranks of the Autobots on Formspring, I suggest that you reconsider your decision to make him early in the series, before Season Three.

We've been needing a good Optimus Prime, but we need one who HAS been through all the events that we have been through. An up-to-date Optimus. It will be near-impossible for you to fit in otherwise.

It was actually a surprise to find so many other Autobots on Formspring, to be quite honest. I had originally made it just for fun.

The application on this journal is from when I originally joined The Wake roleplay on LJ, and has since been canon-updated to the end of the series.

I have been playing him as though he is from the end of the third season - So hopefully he will fit in? (This is assuming that he eventually returned to Earth, I suppose - Though that could easily be changed.)

The universal consensus pretty much is that the Autobots are still on Cybertron, until further orders from the Elite Guard. But Sari had to return to Earth, because of her father. Optimus' team does occasionally receive assignments, but nothing major. This allows us all to stay within story canon, without upsetting the possibility of a continuation in the future too much.

So basically it's a clique and you scare people to make sure they fit in.

AWESOME where do I sign up I wanna be Unicron!

I don't understand the first part of your comment. But for your information, Unicron is already present.

She means you all sound like a bunch of entitlement whores who think they own formspring and that other people actually need your permission to play there! Which they don't! :D

I'll drop wit for bluntness, then!

"if you expect to be accepted..."

Dear Primus you're pretending to be a fictional giant robot get off your high horse. This isn't a school of fine arts, it is the most informal of roleplays. The tone you use just makes you sound like an ass.

"...I suggest you reconsider..."

And THIS tone, on the other hand, sounds like you're trying to be threatening! Or am I the only one who thinks this sounds aggressive? Anyone? Bueller?

"It will be near-impossible for you to fit in otherwise."

I could be assuming here, but...pretty much sounds like you want them more to fit in than they've shown any sign of wanting to be with you.



I'll assume the reason you're anon is because you don't have an LJ account, therefore the method of direct contact is impossible. As far as I know - and please, correct me if I'm wrong! - Formspring has no private messaging system.

That said.

What's to stop me or ten other people from making a TFA Optimus Formspring and doing our thing? Do we want to play alone? Do we want to play in a group? Do we want to play in your group?

ASK.

Don't issue ultimatums like you own the damn place. I'll tell you now if I had ANY Formspring RP accounts (and I don't; honestly I think it's as bad as Twitter as an RP medium, but that is besides the matter at hand here), TFA or not, I would be avoiding you folks like the plague now.

As it is ima just be over here rolling my eyes behind your back. This has been the two cents of artoni, penny for your thoughts.

Great slag, I can't believe you! I was merely giving constructive criticism, just as he asked. I certainly hope that you DO avoid us like the plague. Sheesh...

As a given, an HMD post on Livejournal is for Livejournal roleplays. And I guess I just don't see how that was constructive criticism, versus bullying.

Stay classy!
