Calling all Powers!

Calling all Powers! I am Piiri, the Forgotten Power.

To put to rest all rumors about the origins, can each of us agree to share our origins?

Trying! I do have a temper though and I don't like being shut down (even if I get the wrong impression. If I do and I say something mean, I'm sorry in advance.) :P

Reading all of this is painful. I don't want to see my friends fighting. Please take the time to try understanding where everyone is coming from, to read their history, to accept that they have an opinion that is as valued as your own (no more and no less), or if nothing else, try, try to be polite. I don't love accusations, heated denial, barbed counterpoints, or telling each other they need to stop writing. We're all defending what is ours; the past, the present, the future. But none of these is more or less important than the others, and we must--we can--reach a peaceful agreement. 

@Claaws: I agree, we can't introduce more Powers, large amounts of Sideaffected Powers, OP charries or new main plots. But while they do have clear parallels with the Powers, these new charries are not new Powers or Sideaffected Powers; they're called Sages or Blessed Ones, and if everyone's okay with it, I can review them to make sure they have reasonable limitations. By the way, the Sages/Blessed originated when Piiri (who often posts in-charrie, by the way) very quickly joined and created a character and called them a Power without knowing that the Powers already existed, and by the time it was explained, Piiri and Sybill had decided to change the charrie a bit and form a group that included them and another existing charrie of Sybill's. This was all quite recent. Sybill herself only joined a few months ago, but she's been very (very, very) active and enthusiastic. Piiri and the Sages have found a corner of Kyngdom and have put down roots there, and they both don't want to leave, and don't have much of anywhere to go if they do. This is not an attack on you, not a raid on the past, nor an attempt to take over. Their intention is to be a subplot of Kyngdom as we move forward, not to invalidate what's already been set up. And so far it seems to be helping people get back into writing. It's not exactly the same, and I miss what it was, but that past can't continue if the people who made it disappear. We can't play the Powers in the absence of you and others. Also, some of these people don't know you yet. They don't know your tone, why you're here, what you've contributed. They don't want to derail everything they've made for someone they've never seen around before, and that makes them extra intense in their rejection of your requests. When have new groups been shut down like that? A few side organizations can be healthy, and don't we want people to join, to keep the story going? It's small, functional and won't intrude on the central plot.

@Piiri: This has everything to do with Claaws. Or so the title of this thread led her to believe. You see, Claaws was active here years ago, when the Powers were first created. She helped set the foundation of the story, and she's stayed loyal, contributing extensively for all her time here. Lately she hasn't been able to come on as much, and it's difficult to work with an old story (which is why many people drift away over time), but Kyngdom is still important to her, and she is a significant part of the main plot. So she got upset when she thought you were trying to make more Powers and take over the story, and reacted without looking further, because she thought she understood. You didn't know about the Powers, she didn't know about the Sages. She is acting in defense of something you may still be unaware of. Here: http://www.cricketmagkids.com/chatterbox/kyngdom-new/node/211363

On this thread, you can see where the Powers came from, including many of Claaws' posts and some of my utterly stupid early comments, I blush even to think of them. Also: http://www.cricketmagkids.com/chatterbox/kyngdom-claw/node/234651

This summarizes a lot of the story. Hopefully you can now understand why this is so important to Claaws, and why she reacted the way she did. She's not trying to drive you out, not trying to invalidate your characters and writing; she's trying to prevent you from doing that to her and others who are no longer here. Please try to understand. Please try not to invalidate what others have created. Please don't say you're going to do whatever you want no matter how it conflicts with Claaws' and others' concerns and that they have no power to influence the story.

@Sybill: I cannot and would not argue with you, but your tone is very aggressive and hostile. I know you're acting in defense. So is Claaws. She didn't know that what you're doing is not a problem for her and for what she's done, what she's trying to do. I know you recognize that, but please don't be unkind about it. 

@Trixie: I agree that it's unfair for anyone to be more important than anyone else, but that doesn't mean Claaws is not important, either. You probably know that, but it was unclear. Also, she can't always be here; I don't know everything that goes on in her life, but I know that it can interfere with her being on Kyngdom. A CBette already said that, but it's true.

@Hazel: I agree with you completely. Thank you.

@A CBette: Thank you for explaining; I agree with so many of your points. I would like to say, however, that Piiri does have a choice. One option involves abandoning everything they've done so far, though, and that is simply not something we can or would make them do. 

@Icy: On the off chance that you see this, I would like to say I miss seeing you, and are you coming back? I doubt anyone (besides you, of course) cares if your writing is bad; it was always good, and you can only have gotten better. You're a big part of the story. 

@Scylla: I don't think you're here, but please come back. You promised to stay, and I'm still interested in Sylvia and her foal.

@everyone: I'm sorry if I don't understand something. I'm sorry if I misrepresented you. I'm sorry if you still feel hurt or threatened. I know I restated some things that have already been said. I don't want any arguing or fighting, and I believe this is simply a misunderstanding. Please, look for more information before you post something that may lead to controversy.

Could you point out what made it unclear? I realize I didn't say explicitly that everyone's say is equal, but I felt that it was implied when I was talking about how controlling a Power didn't give someone more say. I mean, it would make even less sense if they got less say. I'm not asking to prove you wrong or something silly like that by the way, I just want to know what it was so I can be more clear in the future.

That was part of it, yes, but it was also when you said "If you don't want things like this to happen, you have to stay around to vote against them when they're suggested." I think it implied  that because she was no longer active, she was no longer of consequence.

Here's a list of all current information about the Blessed Ones.

~The six (possibly seven) Sages/Blessed Ones, as they are called, were 'chosen' by the Flower Carrier very recently in the plot. (Not even a day ago in Kyngdom time.)

~To choose them, the Flower Carrier placed a petal on their head, and this gave them certain powers such as telepathy with the other Blessed Ones.

~The reason they were chosen appears to be to fight a growing evil--this evil exists in the form of six (or seven) Cursed Ones.

~The Cursed Ones are related/have a direct link with the Blessed Ones. They were dead but have come back to life.

~Piiri is the leader of the Blessed Ones. Her twin brother, Dari, is the leader of the Cursed.

~Dari wanted to destroy Kyngdom. He has telepathic abilities and controlled Catastrophe to destroy the Powers, hiding his consciousness from Jaaws as he did so.

~Piiri killed Dari out of loyalty to Kyngdom.

~Dari made a deal with Death, and came back to life with some other friends. These are the Cursed Ones.

~The Cursed Ones are going to kill the Blessed Ones, steal their powers, and kill Catastrophe so they can rule Kyngdom.

~The Blessed Ones plan to kill the Cursed Ones to save Kyngdom.

And that's all I know of so far. If you want to read more, check through this thread, the Sage RP thread, and the most recent posts on Moonlight's thread.

Not all of these ideas have been fully agreed upon yet. I will post my thoughts later!

I think you got everything right. Oh,and there's Majnun. He is Albero's distant cousin, and his Cursed counterpart.

@Claaws -Ah! So so so sorry! I got a little carried away. Sorry! I do understand why you disagreed.wi th the Sages. Sorry if I came off as rude or hostile.

And also, Majnun is so far soo hard to draw. I tried, and tried, and tried, but so far nothing has truly turned out great. Well, soon enough it'll get done!

Woa, woa, woa. woa. Guys. What. I'm sorry. 

*cough* sorry. First off, to make something clear, I'm sorry I can't be here every waking minute but I have problems some of you probably have never even heard of. So sorry. 

Second, I don't rule the place. As other people said, we are a community and you just can't change the whole storyline. That is not what kyndom is about. The plot line is almost EXACTLY the same as the Powers. Pick a different charrie, and join the story we already have going. I don't think this is a layer. I don't think it ties into the story we have going. I'm fine with new charries like this, I totally am, but having 'power' abilities but 'not as powerful' is still the same thing. Powers arent OP. Okay? If you want to discuss, go to all the other threads, read all the other arguments. I've done this more then once.

Alright you done? Good. I think that if you want to make super powerful OCs you have to tie it into the plot. And even then, look around.

Im sorry for this, really. Ive had a rough day, this just set me off. Thanks guys for defending me, the rest of you, go to Inkwell and make a story there. Its what its for. Kyndom is an already set story that you add onto. I don't think anyone should change the plot when we're so close to being done. 

We have to move fowards, not back. 

Again guys, dont take it personalliy, everything sets me off these days. I was trying to be nice before, i really was. But then again, you can't trust me .Im menatlly unstable. So, just. Ya whatever. Im sorry. Ignore my post. You're right, its not my place to talk.

It's okay, Claaws! Kyngdom is all about collaboration! We all get a say.

And also, I completely understand that you can't be on all the time. No one can. It's just impossible!

Also, I tried to make my Sage charrie non OP. I'm sorry if it may seem that way, I  wouldn't want to push the Powers out of the picture with my non-power charrie. 

I will  admit I do  not agree on the plot part. Sorry. But I don't want to hurt your feelimgs, so I'm going to keep this brief. I don't want to copy the Powers, or damage the main plot, and I'm sorry if you feel that this side plot is. And I certainly hope nobody does try to purposely copy the Powers. 

But, Claaws, I assure you  I did not intend for you to feel this way, and I hope we can move past this.

Claaws, this is in every way your place to talk. Don't let anything convince you otherwise. And you're not mentally unstable. Please don't let this get to you!

I think that our jobs, as those who have been on Kyngdom for a long time, is to help teach new people the proverbial ropes. While we can't restrict new ideas from coming, we CAN help new people understand where their ideas fit into these rules that have developed over time. And it's our responsibilities to help put their ideas where they'll fit. That way everyone can have the best possible time here.

I don't want to turn this into a bigger deal than it already is. It's funny how such small things can have such a big impact--this whole thing is kind of stressing me out. I don't want anyone to get upset, and I want everyone to find a spot where they're happiest. Which means I have all of your best interests at heart, as well as Kyngdom's.

Claaws, I bet--that if we put all our superpowerfully creative noggins to the test--we could find a way to tie this idea into our plot. I'm already thinking of some ideas, and I bet you'd be able to come up with some even better ones.

Piiri, I said I was excited to see where this went. And I still have hope for this idea. But there are still things that need to be worked out before it can coexist peacefully with the rest of the plot. I or someone else can make another thread where we can put all this behind us and talk out the storyline. I think you're going to have to let your idea be sculpted a bit--but that's just part of being on a team, and part of being a member of Kyngdom. We work together to work things out. But one thing I've found in my time here is that plotting with friends can be so much more fun and rewarding than plotting by myself.

Also, @Viola?, that was very well-said--thank you. As I said before, I don't want anyone to be upset.

Claaws. I am not going to argue with you about this anymore. I beg you to drop it and let the Blessed Ones be. I have read practically every. Single. Thread on here and I know where you are coming from. There are more fish in the pond, if you know what I mean. I am not trying to kick you out of Kyngdom, but I feel like that's what you're trying to do to me and Sybill (Hi, friend!) and I think I speak for both of us when I say we don't want to address it anymore. I implore you to let us be and we will leave you alone too, if that's what you want. :)

Claaws, can you give an example of how it could mess things up? You're right that it isn't tied into the plot very much, so I don't see what it could do to the plot. I don't see why not being tied into the main plot is a problem either. There's even a thread the point of which is to be not tied in. (http://www.cricketmagkids.com/chatterbox/kyngdom-rp/node/356393) While I get your fear of these people being OP, I don't think they are. They each have one power, and we have other charries who have "magic". I guess what I'm trying to say is I don't see how healing powers are are OP when some charries have magic that can heal, and do who knows what else.

@Claaws I'm sorry to say that I mentally and physically cannot do what you ask. These threads that I have written on are precious to me, and I cannot just simply throw them away. Plus I can't get into Inkwell. Something to do with this Adobe Flash Player thing that I would have to pay for monthly on my computer and frankly, I am not in a position to do that :|
