You're working collaboratively. So, people are going to add their interpretations of things even if those interpretations don't seem to make some sense for others. But it's nothing to be bothered about. Critiques are always welcomed since we can apply this to our own scripts. But this is meant to be fun practice.

Yes, and it has been fun for sure!

The perfectionist in me is hard to hold back...

People can relate to that Dreamscale but you've also got be a little open to new ideas. It's a middle line. lol  

I hear ya, Rip.  I've got no problems with new ideas or anything else for that matter.

I was simply echoing MBC's little rant, and I do think it's important that everyone try and put forth the best effort they can.  Mistakes will always pop up, but they shouldn't be running rampant throughout each post.

Again, I'm merely throwing out comments on how I feel about things here, and in the long run, it's all meant to help...not to hurt.

Cool?

Everything's cool. I don't take it any other way.

You know, I didn't even think about the fact that Wolf couldn't possibly be there until today.  That's probably because I had a lot on my mind yesterday. But that will have to be changed in the rewrite probably because the Detroit tribe is on the other side of the river.  If GM hasn't written about the Wolf character yet - I would urge you guys to change it now.  The Detroit and New York tribes aren't supposed to meet until the last scene and that is supposed to happen on the Rainbow Bridge.

In other news, Alffy is off in non SS land and as kind of expected does not want to do his second turn.  Since Orange and I already did scenes for others, I was wondering if anyone would like to pick up Alffy's turn.

Cheers.

Alffy's character, Eddy, is dead.  Doesn't that mean that he's out?

It means the character is gone, but that doesn't mean the author/player doesn't have a second turn.

I'll take his turn then!

What am I writing about?  His (my) former tribe?

Ok. I'll send you an email.  Cheers.

Apologies to all for my rant last night...and my "bullshit" word but I still stand as someone who expects each member to do their best. Call me a perfectionist. I expect a lot from myself as well...but I don't hold that position if what I think is not correct.

I have been challeged plenty in my life and time and have most undoubtedly learned from my mistakes and those of others. If this is indeed an exercise in learning...then let's learn.  

I'm not blaming anyone - a number of times I included myself in my comments. I know there will need to be rewrites...that goes without saying, but a part of collaborative work is truly working with the information, characters, location, situation and rules we are left with by the rest of our team.

I'm not going to keep whipping this dead horse...but I find it hard not to want for us to stay on track.  I didn't have any problem with what Javier posted...and I'm not blaming Sandra either. (Sandra knows how much I enjoy what she writes)   I do like Javier's post...just feel that we need to keep on task rather than turning this into a rewriter's nightmare.

What bothers me most is when we look to excuses, when, if we did a little homework with the tools provided, we could minimize some of the discrepancies for each other.   I know at this stage of the game there is a mighty big pile of details...but think for one second...if you were getting paid for your efforts, would you let these things slide by...

Additionally I am not expecting this script to be realistic...because simply, it isn't.

Sandra is right though...I care...and for that I am not sorry.

Hey wait a minute! I thought you were glad you were dead!

This is the same feeling I have too. Being a perfectionist and trying to do the best possible job is important to me.

I can't however judge someone else's best. I can only judge myself. Am I bringing myself wholly and completely to the work? Am I in it for the long haul? The marathon run?

If we can ask ourselves this question and answer yes, then I think that's the best we can ask of anyone working here.

Just try. Try your best. That's all I ask. Sometimes that best is going to be better at times, but just try.

LOL, that sounded awfully much like a "mother's speech" didn't it. Oh God!

I'm not glad I'm dead, but maybe it's for the best.  I guess I miss being able to alter the course we're on, so watch out everyone, I'm back!!!
