After reviewing things I'm afraid though that I must resign. So far the St's rulings have been understandable and I would gladly have complied. With the exception of the uniform issue. That one is unrealistic, offensive, and against the law. You made your decision and since I am leaving there is no need to change it. I hope I can educate you a bit on how things like this actually work.</blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div><br/>Well I guess I'll just have to say that it's a GAME and NOT real life. I understand the laws and how they work in real life and how to protect people, but this isn't real life it's a fantasy game in which the story tellers (Jin and I) set down the rules and laws. It's not fair I know it. It's also honestly supposed to be an escape from reality for a few hours. I now with the bitch fest it's becoming not fun for me as the ST at all. I as a ST Wanted UNIFORMS for the game. Can't deal with it then do just as you said you were and resign from the game. No skin off my teeth. I had someone else leave because they didn't like the rulings of an ST before it started.<br/><br/><br/><div class="quoteheader"><div class="topslice_quote">Quote</div></div><blockquote class="bbc_standard_quote">As far flirting with a guy who finds out he is speaking with a sexually male individual. One must always be careful of their surroundings. I have to deal with this potential problem every day. I try to be careful of who i walk to and I always have friends near by me. If someone decided to attack me though the truth is they committed a crime I did nothing wrong. I think my heterosexual boyfriend might have a few things to add about how easy is is to love an attractive woman for who she is and not what's between her legs. </blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div><br/>I'm glad you understand that this could cause an issue. I as the ST have to take into consideration the thought process of ALL the NPC's and even if they would be "accepting" of his/her gender issue they'd be wanting to make sure the rest of the students are protected as well.<br/><br/><div class="quoteheader"><div class="topslice_quote">Quote</div></div><blockquote class="bbc_standard_quote">2) It's unofficial. The staff can at any time  tell Mateus "That isn't your uniform. Go change!" Also in a similar note he could be unsuccessful.<br/><div class="quoteheader"><div class="topslice_quote">Quote</div></div><blockquote class="bbc_alternate_quote">I'm sorry I don't see an issue with this... it would be comic relief. You know fun and light hearted.</blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div><div class="quoteheader"><div class="topslice_quote">Quote</div></div><blockquote class="bbc_alternate_quote">I didn't realize my modeling and pornography jobs were focused so much on comedy. Maybe when I get married I should stand up and some re enactments of Rockey Horror Picture show? Ugh! I understand that you don't have experience with people who have gender issue. I can accept that you may not understand the laws that protect us or our relationship dynamics. THIS however is just plain offensive. How dare you say this to me!</blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div></blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div><br/>I'm glad you took offense to something that had NOTHING to do with modeling or porn.... I was pointing out the fact that it would be light hearted fun to tell him to change. But obviously you were just too obtuse to see the fact that Mateus could of just ignored them and continued on his merry way like nothing had happened. I gave you options about the uniform but instead you wanted to take my comment as some kind of gender bashing, which it was not. And even other people I spoke to didn't see anything offensive in it.<br/><br/><br/><div class="quoteheader"><div class="topslice_quote">Quote</div></div><blockquote class="bbc_standard_quote">And they would be committing a crime by doing so. They can lost one set of clothes as "dress code for boys" and another "for girls" but in the UK for sure (and I believe the US too considering my own experiences) They cannot stop either sex from wearing what is acceptable for the opposite sex. </blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div><br/>The game takes place in New York if you actually did your research on where the Xavier Mansion is. :) In fact here is the address for you. 1407 Graymalkin Lane, Salem Center (part of the town of North Salem), located in the very northeast corner of Westchester County, New York. I know for a fact that catholic schools have strict and I mean strict dress codes for guys and girls. My own high school in Korea was just as strict. The school I'm running in MY game has a STRICT dress code as well, but I think I need to repost something... MY school, MY game, MY rules. Clear enough?<br/><br/><div class="quoteheader"><div class="topslice_quote">Quote</div></div><blockquote class="bbc_standard_quote">At this point I wish I could just say sorry it didn't work out and have a nice game. Your shortsightedness on handling a delicate situation was causing me personal distress. When I pointed this out and offered to work together to find an alternative you became downright insulting in your parallels. Even if your upset at me though I hope you can learn to be a bit more open from this. Goodbye.<br/></blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div><br/><strong>Final note</strong>: I'm going to ask you nicely since you resigned from the game to not post here, in any of the game threads, or pm'ing me or Jin with retaliatory arguments. I'd really hate to have to go to one of the staff. Thank you for your time. It was nice meeting you and I'm sorry things didn't work out, but I'm not going to waste any more time arguing on a ruling I made and you can't handle. I have players waiting for their Storytellers to bring them plot and mutanty goodness fun. I hope the best for you in your future endeavors.
