Should have asked the guard how many Roltons got through the gate today?
Anyway. Again, don't quit. Take notes, be better.
Real talk to the other posters:
I get your frustration. Hlendril can be frustrating. Sometimes I feel like there are serious communication breakdowns. I have been Hlendrils friend since long before this thread, and I have facepalmed quite a few times for a variety of reasons. I am not blind to his faults, but with our regular communications I think i am also in a better position to speak to his virtues. Hlendril is a sweet soul and he legitimately LOVES gemstone. So much so, that he dove headfirst into the deep end of RP with no ability to swim. Yes, he sank like a stone, but you should give him some credit for taking that risk. This was where I think a lot of players took umbrage. Folks understandably (though incorrectly) assumed he was actively making a choice to be disruptive, rude, or inappropriate. But it wasn't malicious at all, and I think that's impoerant.
When he says "tell me what to do, and I will" it's a legitimate plea. He truly wants to be a part of this world and is willing to make efforts to get better. Most of us have some stupid stories from our past that helped us improve, his are just present stories. I really think when his energies can be properly focused he will be a really cool addition to the game.
@Hlendril, GrimGar is McGyver, we know you aren't mcgyver.
