This is the last piece of Melodrama you'll get from me for a while. Farewell, and no hard feelings!

It was supposed to be a reply to Huinesoron's post. Farewell this time! I'm still going to watch from afar, though.

...I don't think that's entirely the best idea. by

Part of getting Permission is actively participating on the Board. Just lurking and watching doesn't help. I'm sure you'll be more than welcome to join in with discussions and whatnot. Our glorious guide (I'd say leader, but we don't have leaders) has only refused Permission to write missions, not to hang around on the Board.
*gives a random hug* Don't go! We'll all miss you if you do. Stay and join in. -
How about this, then? by

The fault was mine. I was an arrogant jerkass fanbrat who acted stupidly. Despite this, I am still, as Fanficrants would call it, butthurt. I put all my eggs into one basket, snacthed them back in less than 24 hours, and when I wanted to know why no one took them or smashed them, I asked why in a way that was both foolish and juvenile. Because of that, the shame from my Impertinence in trying to add to the PPC canon was coupled with the shame from my misdirected outrage. I could have taken those seperately*, but not together. I was ungreatful to my Internet hosts, and knowing how rare civility is in the Web, I can't forgive myself for that.
PS: I will however, return for special occasions.
*Yes, I know I woudn't have had the second one if I was more patient. Another barb against me. -

Please, pray (to anything you worship) that journeys of growth aren't the equivalent of White Rhinos in the Real World. Bye!

Yes, you were a tad over the top in your application, but you aren't the only one. Lots of us here have been a bit scary when it comes to certain topics (Such as that list of weapons I asked for a while ago), because we enjoy it. You won't be able to fix the reputation if you run though. It just gives us a bad feeling, and makes you feel like there's no lace for you here. All you need to do is actively post around here for a little longer, and you're good to go. That's all. You wanted to write in the PPC so badly you wrote extremely long profiles for your Agents. All that work will just go to waste if you head off now.

Look, it may have escaped your notice, but you're being very melodramatic. If you're looking for sympathy or drama, you're quite simply not going to get it. Either leave for good, or shape up, admit to your mistakes AND move on from them. We won't hold it against you (hell, I did the same thing once myself) and you can give it another goal.
Sincerely,
~Err... -
Hmm... I like the latter option. by

Why, what did you do? Anyway, i'm less butthurt now, so I think I will continue posting. I'm not out of it entirely, though. But I will try to shape up. Count on it.

Since you're replying in the first place, I'm not surprised. by

Pretty much the same as what you're doing now. In any case, I'm glad you decided to stay and clean up your act.

Okay, yes, you screwed up. Fine. So what? Running away doesn't do any good, and we're not the type to hold a grudge against anyone who's willing to try. If you leave now, your 'reputation' (for lack of a better word) will stay exactly as it is. Stick around, be polite and engaging, and you'll earn the respect you wanted - and which, quite frankly, I think people around here want to give as soon as it's appropriate. Publically beating yourself over the head isn't something that either party wants - we take no pleasure from seeing you say "I was wrong" fifty different ways.

If anything, it'll probably just annoy us. I have to agree with Err; if you're gonna leave, Wiki, do it, but I personally think it'd just be stupid of you to do so.
