Well, I'll wait on hearing Shonen's side of the story before saying anything too conclusive, but if that is the case, then it sounds like it's just a genuine case of miscommunication and really nobody is at fault here. That being said, I really think you should not have made such a quick jump to ending the RP, Saris. If it's truly the case that Shonen didn't give you a definite answer, I feel like two days (when nearly every single one of us here, including you I'm positive, is either a student, working, or both in most cases) is a little too sudden to reach the conclusion that the other party has no interest in changing the post or doing anything more on that. If you didn't get a definite answer the first time, then you should've tried asking him again or asking for a specific yes/no answer like I asked in this thread.

RPs aren't about winning or losing, they're about working together as partners to write a fun and satisfying co-op story. In this case, somewhere along the line, both of you began to get a little irritated with one another, and that rolled into this massive clusterfuck of an argument. And that does happen from time to time, even among RP partners that have done this together for a long time. It's to be expected if both (or more) RP partners have pride in what they do, which is the case for all of you. But there's no reason to allow things to escalate to such a point. I daresay it's worth putting up with the annoyances of you asking Shonen something multiple times to get a definite answer, or Shonen putting aside his difference of opinion in power scaling for characters, if it means you guys can work together and actually have fun writing an RP. Don't you?
