Oh they're not bad. They're still stereotypes, though.

Found another reason for not going on IRC: probably not welcome there.

Well since the posts where they were angry were mostly deleted apart from Nathan's Voxreview, not publicly, no.

Although I guess you can just ask them and if they don't just say 'who?', they'll probably confirm it one way or another :P

Wait when did it become a stereotype that Indians were good at math?

Also the mix sounds great so far, Asterisk, I haven't had time to listen to the whole thing yet.
Seek Justice, Love Mercy, and walk humbly with your God.

Character List:
Spoiler: ShowHide
Marlon Murk-Leader of Team MRKD (Marked) "The power of the night, the press of the storm, The post of the foe; Where he stands, the Arch Fear in a visible form, Yet the strong man must go..."-Prospice, Robert Browning

Cheri Chanson-Team AFMC (Afirmacion) “The people who were trying to make this world worse are not taking the day off. Why should I?” -Bob Marley

Jack Pettibone-Leader of Team JCRA (Jackrabbit) "In my body, where the shame gland should be, there is a second awesome gland. True story."-Barney Stinson

Cherry Chainsaw "Wake up, I'm a bullet loosed Into the heart of a wretched age, I breathe just to beat and bruise, an evolution of the burnin' rage!"-Miracle of Sound, Hell to Pay

Professor Siobhan Clannad-Personal Finance and Home Economics Professor at Beacon Academy "We can do no great things, only small things with great love."-Unknown, often attributed to Saint Teresa of Calcutta

Professor Feltch Hatterly Criminal and International Law Professor at Beacon Academy "Art, like morality, consists of drawing the line somewhere."-G.K. Chesterton

Professor Scarlet Vandal Weapons Engineering and Design Professor at Beacon Academy "Perfection has one grave defect: It is apt to be dull."-W. Somerset Maugham


Character AMA here, Personal AMA here, Character/Plot Timeline here, Descent into Madness here

If you ever need writing advice, be it for a post, a plot, or a character, don't hesitate to ask, I'm happy to help! PM me if you need someone to DM Grimm or NPCs, or need my Professors in your threads, though my ability to help with that depends on my free time!

Not halter of fun. Worldbuilds are just need to be judged more harshly than characters. The characters you had pulled, however, was more the case of the staff realizing one thing, which lead to another, which lead to another. Believe me, we aren't afraid to pull characters, regardless of who they are, regular member, veteran member, minion, mod, or admin.... Except Vox. He runs the site

Rex: Believe me, the entire thing is amazing.

Gus: Ah. Well you probably won't need to worry about me worldbuilding anymore since I've realized I wouldn't have a single clue of what to do with one :P

Found another reason for not going on IRC: probably not welcome there.

I wouldn't call you the 'Halter' of anything; there is nothing fun in dealing with a Mary Sue idea-- just someone who refused to listen to advice given to you twice now and got your just deserts. If you feel that the moderation team on site pulling your out-of-balance characters and denying blatantly overpowered Worldbuild projects means you aren't welcomed in the IRC channel, you took things too personally. The IRC is a site-wide chatroom for the community to converse and mingle in; it has (somewhat) no reflection on the happenings of the website or whatever perceived animosity you think we have.

Ehh. I know you guys are just doing your job and fully understand the not-fun of a Sue. I still know that, at some poimt, I've been a pain to almost all mods.

Also, the 'blatantly overpowered' thing is weird to me because I was told "if the tech could be of public Atlas knowledge, it's probably fine", along with the small weapons update. I failed to see coilguns (within acceptable speed ranges for their size), hover tanks (aren't those a thing, though?), hypersonic aircraft (mentioned several times in multiple threads of this very forum) and automated medical drones with a purely programmational AI as overpowered, especially since the way it was, there would've been about 3 of each tech design max, save for more generic things like "hypersonic", the coilgun principle and the drones, the latter of which they would've probably tried to supply to settlements in need.

I'm not moving a Worldbuild review out of discussion of the Worldbuilding section, nor in a public format. You had this opportunity window opened already and chose to walk away from it.
