Well, hell.

There is only one saving grace to being, once again, used, manipulated, lied to, and made a total fool of in relation to roleplaying, and that is the fact that this time it was me who took the brunt of it rather than my

tigerphoenix. And because it wasn't the fault of the person who got us involved in the mess, I think it's feasible for both of us to forgive her and move past it.

Still, once again I've let my good nature, my empathy, and my desire for peace be used to make me defend someone who didn't deserve it. I fought for something I believed -- only to find out that all my cynicism, all my suspicion, is ultimately what I should have listened to.

Hypocrisy. Manipulation. Outright spite. You know, it hurts? It really hurts the people that have all this done to them. Myself more than most, I think, simply because I'm fire-aligned. I have far more passion, more emotion, for things than most people do.

I don't know. I shouldn't be trying to express this, because it can't be expressed in words. At least this time we got stabbed in the back by a relatively distant person.

First off, the use of OOC information... um, dude? What the fuck is Dunk's name? Haven't you figured it out yet? He's not a character based off me, he IS me. He's MY avatar, he knows EVERYTHING I know, he can do ANYTHING I can type (within the boundaries of the guidelines of freeform cooperative roleplay). So yeah, he is gonna know OOC shit. He's my ONLY character I allow to know OOC information. And D? He USED to be my avatar, so he knows EVERYTHING I knew up to the point I disconnected him and let him become his own character. The difference between the two being that D knows he's his own character now, Dunk doesn't, and is still packed with all the power he had when he was simply an extension of my consciousness into Rhydin. And, in case you haven't noticed the pattern, when I "disconnect" my avatars, they go a little insane... they're losing their sense of self, after all. Is this character concept jacked? Don't know, don't care, YOU are the FIRST person who's ever had a problem with it, so I don't know what to tell you, other than the inflamatory "kiss my ass" which will get us nowhere but into a heated arguement.

Next, communication... you're right, I could have very easily responded with a simple, "I don't know," and I should have, and for that I appologize. At the time I was so disgusted with it all, I just didn't want to communicate with anyone at that point. I'd gotten sick of hearing from everyone about everyone else's problems with me and what I do/did. For this one piece, I am truly sorry, and admit I was wholly in the wrong.

Next, convenience and coincidence... yes, I admit it does indeed look bad. Again, I don't really care. My friends either understand or just plain don't care. But I am telling you now, once and for all, It was NOT my intention to split the two of them up. Take this as you will, I'm not going to try to convince you of this any further, it'll get neither of us anywhere but in circles.

Why can D-boy touch Anya? Just occured to me one day, D-boy shares the same bioelectic field as Dunk, as they are still the same person, and Dunk wouldn't make anything that he'd set off himself. Again, I understand how "convenient" this looks, but shit, it just made sense at the time.

Next, opportunity... I DID provide opportunity on MANY occasions. YOU all decided that Dunk was THE ANSWER, and that was not the case. I dropped MANY clues that D was the answer, and so far it looks like Anya's player was the only one that picked up on it, as she brought it up to me before I evcn had to say anything to her. Actually, I was waiting on HER to make the move to realize that fact IC, but alas, it never came to pass, even when I WAS around every night as D. So please, do NOT blame me for not providing opportunity. I told you I put the ball in her court and was waiting for her to make the play, so I've been waiting just as much as you have.

The OOC information I was referencing was in fact several suggestions I'd heard about the bullet extraction method being ordinary science, rather than magic or Science. I was referring to the fact that if Drake attempted to use ordinary science to extract the bullet without being told that it would work by a reliable source, it would be bad roleplaying on my part. That was what I meant; nothing to do with the relationship between you and your characters.

As for the many clues, they paled in comparison to being outright told, at the beginning, "You must find the one who did this and convince him to undo it." Hard to see stars in daylight

Well, that issue was supposed to be covered when the ball dropped, as Anya had already started figuring out the clues, including ones I hadn't even thought anyone would pick up on and that I'd have to make blatantly clear later if at all.

But thank you for the clarification, I have been accused of blending in the past, but you can imagine how annoying it is when I'm accused of it when playing my own avatar. I'm glad to hear that you got the point already.
