Alright...lemme try doing this post without sounding like a whining bitch...
This post is dedicated to all of us as a whole, but not aimed at anyone in particular. Some of you may recognise yourself in some of the examples I make, others may not. Look at it more as a plea than a pointed finger in the ribs. I'm not angry, but I am a bit frustrated.
To put it simply: Guys, you gotta give poor Jetflare a break. I know you're supposed to be pubescent teenagers, but seriously, you're going through a program to become a superhero, not training to be scouts or cheerleaders. We're not in gradeschool here and it feels to me like at least some of you decided to make your characters...well...overly stupid. I feel we're fast approaching something akin to a sitcom with Jet as the main target of all the kids' shenanigans, and while that may be fun for a while, I gotta admit it is getting a bit old. Jet isn't intended to go through life nursing a cluster of ulcers in his stomach or growing grey-haired before he's 35, and lately he haven't been able to hold up a conversation with some of you without nearly blowing a vein.
You're trainees in a highly select situation. A minimum of discipline could be expected, I think. You're all supposed to be going through some rather rigorous training. You are not just placed in the base with nothing to do but watch porn and eat icecream.
Lemme make it as clear as I can, from my point of view at least: We're going for "lighthearted". Lighthearted doesn't mean "stupid". Lighthearted doesn't mean we can't take this seriously and get some serious RP. Lighthearted means down on drama, but up on adventure. We're supposed to be a team, out there doing daring-do and saving the world. And unless we get at least a TAD of discipline implemented, I can't see how we can keep this up without Jet eventually saying "fuck you all" and leaving. He's supposed to be out there, fighting crime and doing his to turn you all into crimefighters, not babysitting a cluster of teenagers that just go "fuck you old man, you ain't the boss of me!".
I'd really like to hear your take on this. Nothing is put in stone, everything can be changed. But these are my thoughts, and I need to tell them to you, because it is starting to affect my enjoyment of my character. I want Jet to be a hero, not a chronically furious malcontent.
