I see, but for me I think, writing a book and running an RPG is the same.
how so? 8|

Err... because it both includes writing and manipulating characters. The only difference is in the RPG there are other minds involved so you don't get the total control of the story, while in the book you had. But ofcourse DMs still have the sole power to control the story. :D

indeed, so you don't consider it odd that OD would run a relationship from both sides? maybe it's a girl thing :D

Ofcourse not. Well actually, I've written some short stories before. And I also run some relationships, but not that I assume I am both of them and write it with my own thoughts. Ofcourse for the part of the female I had my thoughts and also considered the thought of other real females. And for males, I observed them and interviewed some of them. Since I'm not a male, I wouldn't know by just thinking.

So basically, I gathered data and put them together like solving a puzzle, thus, the story has been born. :D

But I might be wrong, maybe I don't understand what are you really saying.

I'm implying nothing, I'm saying that real men would be very unlikely (ie it would be weird) to play both parts of a relationship in a lovey dovey fashion in an rpg

Let's not talk about lovey-dovey. Love is sacrifice and mostly what OD just said. :)

no it ain't, that's revenge, or just plain bitterness

and OD, it's not totally OT, we are discussing your relationship and past events in the RPG .... :)

I don't know to her... Mysty is controlling her. And her last post it seems that I'm not going to do anything.

Btw, OD, if its not bad to know, I want to know what's your plan with me if you'd be still our DM up to now. I would like to know. But if it will give some spoilers then better not! :D

My lips are sealed. The only person who knows what plans I had for you is Misty and since she may or may not choose to use various parts of them, it might spoil things.

I will say this, though, your story would have been following a very different path if I were still DM. My plans and ideas are constantly changing, so what I think sounds neat one day, may sound worthless the next. While I had thought of a way to take your character, I thought it was pretty generic and predictable, so I would have thrown everything on its head and run with it. The only story I had set in stone with almost no alterations was the story of the fall of Anusia and the showdown between Omega, Topaz, and Taros.
