Chatterbox: Chirp at Cricket
READ. EVERYONE.
READ. EVERYONE.
First of all, I only say any of this because I LOVE YOU GUYS.
I just saw what happened on the Evil AE War, and I am ashamed of you! Just because you are all RPing as "rude" AEs doesn't mean you should be, to put it bluntly, downright mean.
See, a little while ago I was mad because everyone copied my idea: to make a person that I could act like who was my polar opposite/insane. That was my AE, Masked Piester. She was the first true AE. BTW, the CB has deliberated and Masked Piester was definitely first, so don't try anything. A bunch of people copied me, and many of them started having about 3 AEs each.
I felt that Masked Piester had been discarded, and that the CB was in control of the AEs.
So I withdrew Masked Piester from the CB, saying she would not return.
There was backlash. I put her back in eventually (due to peer pressure), and the CB agreed that everyone having more than two AEs was TOO MUCH.
Eventually, I took a hiatus from the CB. I returned to find many new members, with all of them having AEs and many having more than two. I was hurt that no one had mentioned the "no more than two AEs each" rule in my absence, but said nothing because everything seemed to be working well.
The crush war was even fun.
However, it is ALWAYS a bad idea to have a TWO-SIDED war. Once the CB had a "Ruler of the Chatterbox AE Contest" and it ended... badly.
So I have made a decision.
I am pulling both Baelfire and Masked Piester from the CB.
Until everyone promises to a) NEVER make another AE without first checking to see "how would this HELP the Chatterbox, not just myself" and B) NEVER START ANOTHER TWO-OR-THREE-OR-WHATEVER SIDED AE WAR, MP AND BAE ARE NOT COMING BACK.
UNDERSTAND?
Good.
I'm sorry for shouting, and I love you all.

Hey guys, please chill out. Sorry if I sound rude, but you're acting like it's the end of the known universe. I never said that everyone "MUST give up their AEs until they fit the only 2 AEs rule", people are making that choice for themselves.
The only rules that I really hope everyone abides by are:
1. Whenever you make a new AE, try to make it detailed and HOPEFULLY make the CB a better place.
2. Don't do AE Wars.
@?: Please name two instances when I was a puppetmaster. I am very sorry that you feel this way.

I'm just wondering, what is that supposed to mean 'How would this AE help the ChatterBox'? It doesn't matter if this helps or whatever. For me, the CB is just a place for someone to relax and have fun. AEs wouldn't particularly help or hurt in any way. There's no reason to NOT have an AE because it wouldn't help. They're just another little character for fun, because this place is supposed to be FUN. Just cool it a little.
I'm sorry you're angry about your AEs, and I'm sad that you're pulling them. I'll miss them!

Yeah, sorry about the phrasing. What I kind of meant was, "we should try to make AEs as a whole help the CB" not individually. Sorry. I just phrased that incorrectly.

I have one AE. Most people probably don't know who she is, because I cannot keep track of all of the AEs in this place, so do not really participate in AE threads and wars and crushes. Sometimes I feel like she isn't the same type of AE...mostly because she does not do the types of things that other AEs do. I bring her in if I need to end a post but can only do it by making a joke, if I'm feeling blah, or if I'm doing a Ski Lodge.
Princess Icicle, however, is an extension of myself.
She is the part of me that I was too afraid to express on the CB because I thought people would look down on me for it. She is my outlet that allows me to do this by being funny. She lets me show everyone here part of me that is not my normal Chatterbox voice, the part of my personality that I mask over because it only shows up in the real world.
And now, to answer your questions:
Has Princess Icicle...
Made someone laugh?
Probably not. When I say that I can express myself by being funny, I mean "Lol, that's funny." I don't mean "Ohmygoodness--haha---that's hi--haheeha--LArious!!" However, Princess Icicle is not a funny AE. She is not meant to be funny. That is not the point of AEs--the point is so that you can acceptably show the chatterbox the parts of you that are otherwise not appreciated. That's my opinion.
Made someone smile?
Possibly. How should I know?
Improved the atmosphere of the Chatterbox?
Not one AE can do this, and I'm sure she hasn't, because it takes a community to improve the CB, not a single sentence.
Were not created because you wanted an excuse to write in a certain way?
OF COURSE THEY WERE NOT! She is not an excuse--she is an EXTENSION!
Are not just one-dimensional copies of me?
She is not a complete copy. She is part of me.
Are well-developed?
Probably not.
Or maybe she is.
I don't know.
You tell me.
