Maybe I haven't said it before or in your presence, but the idea of my being "Chief Base Architect" was not that I had sole say in how the base was designed. It's that if you've got an idea, issue or problem with the base, you can come to me and I can see if it can be done.
The base was never supposed to be my private bailiwick. Just that I'm the guy who started doing things with it first and learned all the basics of how to do it.
(Though Zilem Kain is clearly my master in creative engineering. Those apartments in the base? My idea - but he was the one who did all the fiddly bits and made them WORK. Frankly I am sometimes in awe of his ability to wrangle that piece of *&#$ editor and make it sing.)
Quote:I'm... cynical, you could say. That's as good a word as any. And I have a strong distaste for what I consider Drama(tm). Which is what I'd come to the conclusion you were all about, Logan. I could list my reasons, but that'd be counterproductive at this point I think.
So in a fit of... internet rage, I suppose... I relinquished my grip on my tongue and said what I was really thinking. With the unspoken assumption in my mind that you'd shrug it off and continue on your way as normal and I'd have another entry on my ignore list (so to speak).
You're not entirely wrong, Spud. I do have a pronounced tendency to "drama" when I'm frustrated (or sometimes just excited). I try to clamp down on it when I can. But I tell IRL friends of mine literally: "Look, if I get out of hand, would you (figuratively) SMACK me? I won't take offense, I know I can be like that."
So when I get called on for being irrational. Especially by people I consider friends, I listen. Cause I hate being like that.
