You might had been a bit grumpy, but that declaration usually doesn't come from no where. If you're unhappy with how things are going, we really should talk about it. Frustration with a game rarely just goes away on it's own, in my experience.<br/><br/>We never really did talk about the expectations for sex in this game. We spend a whole lot talking about characters, possible encounters, context, and setting, but not much on that. I think, in part, because we got along so well throughout the process, we didn't really address it before. It just didn't occur to us. Maybe it's time we actually talked about that.<br/><br/>Because, as it seems, there's a pretty big gulf between what we seemed to be expecting, and what you were expecting, Inerrant. To me, nothing about Shiori or Yoshii screamed "sex-addict". They both seemed reserved, shy characters about this sort of thing, and perhaps there was a bit of miscommunication about just how interested they were in sexing their way through Kirigakure. But, that seems to be what you were expecting. I'm sorry if you feel misled about it, but I don't feel like I was hiding that fact about Shiori. I believed I described her as a character who was afraid of herself, and what she imagined of her condition, preying on people who so much as touch her. Thusfar, nothing I've seen really feels like it tests her resolve against the temptation. I mean, if a little swimming was enough to get her to become an orgy-craven sex fiend, she would had done so on multiple occasions back home, and probably sexed up her entire team. It didn't make much sense, in context.<br/><br/>Still, I can wave sensibility in the face of fun and enjoyment. I don't think I'm that much of a stickler for details. But, characterization aside, I'm just not much into sex-romps. I like characterization, I like depth, I like a realistic perspective. The whole reason I was willing to deal with the heaviness of Naruto d20 character creation is because I assumed this would be a shinobi-game with sexual elements, not to use the system as filler between one orgy and another. If I felt like sex was going to be the high-focus of the game, I think I would had preferred something a bit more system-lite.  :P<br/><br/>I don't hate the concept, and I certainly bear no ill will towards those who enjoy it. I think you've done a really good job as GM, and to run one of the longest games in the site undoubtedly impressive. I hope none of this is taken as my insulting you, because it's not meant to be. But, sometimes, even if two writers get along well and by all means like each other, their styles just might not be a good fit for one another. If sex-romps are what get you excited for writing, then there's clearly were the wrong characters for this game. Without a doubt. But more than that, if that's what would keep you interested in writing in your time-tested, successful way, then maybe it's for the best I dropped out of this game, and opened the way towards someone who was more keen towards that style. Zaer's been in your games before, so even if Yoshii needs to be rewritten or redone, I assume he'll still make a good fit with the right character. But, as sorry as I am to say it, II'm not sure I would be all that happy with playing a game where my character is constantly having sex, multiple times a day, in the middle of battlefields, even if I was playing a more daring and aggressive character. I'm tend to enjoy playing aggressive teases more than sexually promiscuous characters anyway.<br/><br/>I hope this isn't taken as too dramatic or like some "rage-quit" episode. I'm certainly willing to talk things through. It just seems to me that we were really expecting much different games, and me leaving would probably make for a more harmonious resolution in the end. EvilMegaCookie seems primed to want to play a sexually charged game, so she could easily take my place.
