If that was true, you would've given Axl more of a chance.

I'm still entitled to dislike an annoying character.

I feel that Axl added nothing to the storyline. I said I like realistic characters. There was nothing realistic about Axl's placement in the Hunters.

Either way, just because I said characters need flaws doesn't mean I have to like all flawed characters. That's just stupid.

What part about a shapeshifting robot fighting crazed machines is not realistic?

Only because they tend to use the same flaw over and over again. And they almost always have a turning point, that is, a moment when it all changes drastically. While that can be nice, I like times when it's gradual, so you don't really notice the growth until you realize how staggeringly different it was from the beginning.

And Axl didn't really mature, he's still obnoxious and acts like the whole thing is a popularity contest.

Then join RPs with a very strict set of rules.

Most likely because it would be a boring RP otherwise. ;)

The trick is indeed to find the right people. God knows I've worked with people that were simply unable to fathom the concepts behind a decent story.

Wow. I've totally never had the whole non-collaborating with the story thing happen. I guess my RP buddies are just awesome like that. Two heads are better than one... Shadowfire and I together come up with better stories than I ever could on my own. =P

Sounds to me like a lot of people here have had the misfortune of RPing with people who couldn't write their way out of a paper bag.

I'll be appealing that be removed from the sagas list just for the sake of how messed up and stupid it makes Epsilon. Likewise with all the Naruto themed characters anymore...
