I took your comment as it was said. So, if we're at an understanding, I think we're cool.
As far as "people were only "tolerating" my game" goes, that's *not* what I said.
I said that people, me included, were frustrated by an entity that seemed invulernerable to non-predesignated forces and possesed of seemingly unlimited powers. I think that's relevant to this. You made some shit up that you thought would be fun as a villian. You took liberties with the rules for purposes of plot. Fine. I don't object to that as a rule, but I feel it's more than a little hypocritical to flame me for doing something similar.
Most of the time I had fun at your game. I really don't care that you used "mega-wooj" to make the villian a real threat, I just felt kind of side-lined when it came to dealing with it. And, if you'll recall I *did* chat with you about how to get more involved with the game. To the point of trying a new, more "plot-friendly" character.
In short, I did enjoy your game. But I really thought that it was hypocrytical to attack me on lj for doing something similar on a smaller scale, and it made me angry.
I don't consider this to be the end of our friendship and hope that you don't.
In the future, just please come and chat with me. Even if I feel that I cannot in good conscience change to acquiesce, I will still listen and you can at least vent your feelings and hopefully feel better.
