((I'm sorry you learned that the hard way. And I can totally agree with you about how sick I am of how people treat me in real life. The same thing happens to me everywhere, in real life and in RP's. People push me off to the corner and pretend I am a nobody. The say whatever they want to me because they think I have no feelings. They treat me like I am their personal take everything out on bag. I'm not trying to be dramatic I am simply stating the truth.))

[Evelina]

((Me too. All I'm trying to do is tell her to change the paper, though! I'm not ganging up on anyone, and it's a minor change! I don't get what's so bad about that!

[[deleted user]]

((The two of you together were. And if I let everything roll, everyone would pick on me. And I am sick and tired of that! And I'm sorry, but I don't feel like changing it. ))

[Evelina]

((And I am literally just tired of all of this. Please just cut the paper. Seriously. Is it that much to ask? I'm sorry that I'm a jerk, I'm sorry that I am everything i am. In sorry I'm rude. I'm sorry that I'm nasty. I'm sorry that I don't care about anything. Anything, really. I actually don't know how to. I've never really cared much about anything other than that violin. Just, please. Change the paper.))

[[deleted user]]

((I still don't feel like changing it. I'm sorry, but I am sick and tired of me complying to what people tell me to do. I am a free person.))

[Evelina]

((I know it's just a paper. But if its just a paper, why won't you change it? I'm asking you to for a good reason, which I've clearly stated. I'm really trying not to be nasty. If I'm being nasty, you can harass me all you want through pm. God knows I deserve it. But just change it.))

[[deleted user]]

((No thank you, Evelina. It is just a stupid paper, so there is no reason for me to go back and change it and there is no reason for you to persist in trying to get me to change it. I have made up my mind and there is nothing that can change my mind. I am sorry.))

[[deleted user]]

((Let's just stop. For Mackenzie sake.))

[Evelina]

((I'm not going to stop. I'm sorry, but I'm not. It has to be changed. What's the problem?))

[Evelina]

((Luna. Seriously. Change it.))

[[deleted user]]

((Evelina. I have made up my mind and I would appreciate it much if you left me alone. It is a stupid paper. Leave me alone.))

[Evelina]

((Why are you doing this? What is the point? Seriously. If one person disobeys a mod, everyone will start doing it. Just change it! People never listen to me, and I want to know why.))

[[deleted user]]

((Why wont you leave me alone? Why wont anyone leave me alone? Of you're so sick of me, just kick me. If you hate what I do, kick me. Relieve me of one of the only things that take me away from the world.))

[Evelina]

((I am actually crying right now. But then, why would you care? It's "just a stupid paper". I told you that if you change I to twenty, I WOULD BE WILLING TO LOWER MINE AS WELL. JUST TO FREAKING APPEASE YOU. Please. Just. Freaking. Change it.

[[deleted user]]

((Twinning. I'm crying as well. God dammit im so sick of this. I'm sick of people taking advantage of me. Just leave me alone! I'm not even going to reply next go.))

[Evelina]

((I never said I was sick of you. Stop twisting my words! I am just so done. Why would I kick you?! I am so tired of all of this. My mom just screamed at me more about my violin. My friends just left me. Seriously, I. Am. Done. If I had a knife I would literally just stab myself. People don't even listen to me on the Internet. How hard is it to change a paper?????)

[Evelina]

((How am I taking advantage of you? Please just tell me! Tell me, or I don't even know what I'm going to do. I know I can't feel empathy, but why can't other people ever give a crap? Just change it! I'm just asking you to change a number!)$

[[deleted user]]

((Beautifully put.))

[Evelina]

((Chaos. That's. what. I'm. SAYING. She won't LISTEN. I'm just DONE. People don't listen. How hard is it to change a number?))

[[deleted user]]

((Evelina, If there is something you should know about me, it's the fact that I don't like people telling me what to do. I classify myself as a free person))

[Evelina]

((Luna, why do you listen to him and not to me? I put it just as kindly when I first introduced the idea, and you just blew me off. You said that I took advantage of you and that i wanted you gone. The whole world wants me gone, but am I complaining? I said that we each cut to twenty. That we both have the same. Did you listen? No. I'm just done. I'm done with everything. It's not even you. It's probably something I said that made you so mad. It's my fault no one listens. Please. Just listen to whatever chaos says. Because I'm done.))

[[deleted user]]

((I haven't listened to anyone. I haven't down anything different. I'm really sorry if I offended you. You were one of the only people that had actually been nice to me. But i still do not take orders well. I'm sorry.))

[[deleted user]]

((Luna=totally confused now.))

[Evelina]

((If you read what I first stated, it was that Luna gave her charrie way too long of a paper for the amount of work Branden did. He didn't do much. It was finished within a couple of posts. I simply compared Branden to my charrie. As a COMPARISON. Mae had such a long paper because I wrote out her process in STRICT DETAIL. Every step. Luna also finished her charries superlong essay AFTER time was up. It was not an argument about which charrie should hav a longer essay. It was that her charries essay is too long for the work Branden put into it. Even 16 pages, the original amount, is stretching it.))

[Evelina]

((And chaos: sorry, I'm horrible at telling genders. My bad. :P))

[[deleted user]]

((I am done with this. Gosh. I'll just leave Erudite. I'll just leave the group. It seems that trouble only erupts where I go. And I don't want to ruin the group with the trouble i bring.))

[Evelina]

((If you just change the paper, there wouldn't even be any drama.

[[deleted user]]

((And like I said before, I don't want to. I'll just leave. I'm a nobody here. A nobody that trouble follows.))

[Evelina]

((Why can't she just change the paper? And why am I the bad guy here? I don't get this. Just change it! Don't use your presence here as leverage. If you want to leave, go right ahead. I DO want you here, but not if you're going to be like this. Just change the paper.))

[Evelina]

((I'm always the bad guys. At this point, it's a fact of life. Believe me. The thing is, I just want her to change a paper. Am I so different from other mods? Is what I say less important?))

[CJ]

((Okay, well... I understand both sides of this argument. I personally think both of the numbers are kind of ridiculously long, but, hey, this is an rp. I'm not taking sides on this, I just want to continue the role-play, so how about this: Evelina, what if you change Mae's number to something a few pages higher than Brandon's? Then you get what I have gathered is the effect you feel Mae deserves without Luna having to do anything that she feels is unreasonable. Well, anyway... ))

Once Brandon said that gum annoyed him, River blew a loud bubble, just because. He wondered whether his two pages of essay were enough. Well, that was what Leaf and Fiona had said they wanted: a couple pages.

[Evelina]

((I have to go. Can you please just make her change it? Seriously.))

[CJ]

Evelina wrote: "((I have to go. Can you please just make her change it? Seriously.))"

((Heyo, Evelina. Take this time to cool off a little. Helps me think straight when I get angry to just take a break. ;) I think both of you have made this bigger than it needs to be.))

[[deleted user]]

Brandon made a joke of covering his ears when River popped his bubble. "Too loud." He grinned.

[CJ]

River pretended to faint in astonishment. "You can joke!" he exclaimed to Brandon, then turned to Bekah and blew a larger bubble.

[Evelina]

((FOR THE MILLIONTH TIME. That's not what this is about! Please reread. Oh my god. Just reread. It's not about Mae! It's about Branden...

Mae's number is not ridiculously high. I have written longer essays and with way less effort. Her essays length reflects the detail with which she was shown to have written with. She proofread it over and over, touched on many many topics, and took from over ten sources PER TOPIC. Mae's paper was used SOLELY AS A COMPARISON.

Branden was not shown to have done CLOSE to that amount of work... And yet somehow wrote over twenty five pages of work. This is not about Mae. It's about the length of Brandens paper being way too long IN REGARD TO the amount of effort he put into it.))

[[deleted user]]

((Hi everyone. My name is Luna. And I would just like to say, I AM DONE WITH THIS!))

[Evelina]

((And where I stand on this now is exactly the same as where I was before Luna made me this mad. I try not to let my anger affect my arguments.))

[Evelina]

((Luna, please stop with the dramatics. It should not take this much to simply change a number.))

[[deleted user]]

((There's a reason I'm not in Drama. I cant do drama. I'm stating the truth. And Evelina, you're being pretty dramatic yourself you know. Don't just blame me. Now let's just get back to the RP and quit worrying about a stupid paper. It's a little obsessive. And I've had enough. I dare say you have too.))

[CJ]

Mae's number is not ridiculously high. I have writt..."

((I understand your concerns, Evelina. I agree that Mae showed more effort than Brandon did in the rp. Keep in mind that Brandon was being role-played with Bekah, so Luna didn't have quite as much time as you did to put detail and scenario into her posts. I think that both of you have reasonable arguments for your side, but you both have reached an unreasonable level. I simply ask that you stop arguing for now, as you are creating a very uncomfortable environment for us bystanders.))

River shook his head to Bekah. "It's on, now!"

[Evelina]

((The last thing you said was very dramatic. I'm not being dramatic at all. I'm just being honest. I'm just telling you, in the least dramatic, angry, or rude way possible, to just change the length of the paper. As you so correctly stated,it is just a paper. But the paper should reflect the amount of work Branden put into it, and the number is ridiculously high in comparison to his effort.))

[Evelina]

((I understand that, and im sorry, too. But Luna is just as at fault. I should not have gotten as mad as I did, but she should have changed it when first asked. This is not about Mae, for the last time. It is about Branden. Mae was simply the comparison. If one person ignores a moderator, everyone will think it is okay to do so. Please. I am willing to move this conversation, but there is no way I am letting this go. And I don't see why you aren't helping me out. Seriously, I don't.))

[CJ]

River produced a bubble at least three fourths the size of his face.

[[deleted user]]

((Like CJ said, I was RPing with Bekah so I didn't have nearly enough time to compose a decent paper. And I missed all instruction because I'm kinda new. And I am also stating the truth as well. I agree that I am at fault. Now can we please just DROP IT.))

[[deleted user]]

((Would you all be happier if I left?))

[Evelina]

((Let's just move this somewhere else. But Luna... I really appreciate what you just said. You still have to change it, though... :P))

[[deleted user]]

((I don't have to do anything I don't want to do. I'm sorry.))

[Evelina]

((Luna. You're my friend. I like you. But you still have to do it. I really hate playing the mod card, but you kind of have to. I've explained my reasons as diplomatically as I could. You did as well, and I really appreciate that. But please. Just change it. For all of our sakes.))

[[deleted user]]

((You obviously don't want me here. And please don't talk to me like that. It hurts.))
