#puppetornot

Secondly, the response I’ve gotten from the blog is massive, and I’m so thankful to have all of you here. That being said, please be courteous of the fact that there is a real person behind this blog. I have a life outside of this, which includes work, school, homework, and sleep; so if I don’t get to your ask immediately, please take note of that. Also, there are currently 130 asks waiting to be answered at the moment, with a good portion of them sent by the same few people. As much as I’d love to be on here 24/7 answering asks and diving headfirst into everything, I do need to take time out for myself as well, and I ask that you respect that. Even if Anti is always watching, I can’t, so please respect that and don’t hound me if I don’t respond to you immediately. 

Going off of that, please remember that this is all just for fun. I’m not Sean, this isn’t the real next phase, and I have no idea what he’s actually planning for ego stuff in the future. I’m going off of the same things you guys are, and most of what I’ve got planned is just little ideas that I haven’t had time to really think over, so I’m just going off instinct and improvisation. With that being said, please don’t be rude to each other or to me. I’ve gotten several asks that have insulted or flat out attacked me, and that’s not okay, especially in a community of positive, friendly people. Same thing with the task and the rat resistance. There are real people behind all these blogs, so be respectful and remember that at the end of the day, this is all just for fun. So please keep that tucked in the back of your head as things move forward. I don’t want to have to say something like this again.

And finally, in regards to the task/rat resistance, I do want to also apologize for naming the blogs without tagging them in the original. I got really excited about the idea and jumped into things without thinking of the consequences, and I am sorry if I made anyone anxious or made it out to be a witch hunt. I’ve interacted as Anti with all those blogs before, hence why they were on the list, but I didn’t want to make people uncomfortable or harass them. I was originally going to try to come up with an alternate task for anyone who either didn’t want to or was unable to complete the task, but real life started crashing around me and I was unable to get one out in time. If you don’t want to participate in the task, that’s perfectly okay, and I want to apologize for putting that on you guys. Anti won’t punish you for it in-game, and I’ll make sure that any other tasks are either individual or based around an internal team effort rather than an external conversion. 

TL;DR: Please credit Luci and Tazzy with the #puppetornot idea, not me, and respect both me and everyone else, whether they’re involved with the blog’s events or not. At the end of the day, this is still a community, and I don’t want things to become toxic when it’s supposed to be just a game for fun.

Again, I apologize for everything, and I hope that you all can forgive me for my mistakes and that we can all move forward together.

Thank you, 

But something pulls from deep inside

An urge that I've since tried to hide

I'm not a puppet— I can't be

There are no strings on me

Yet shadows beckon late at night

And voices whisper out of sight

I hear their tortured, pain-filled plea

There are no strings on me...

The static fills my vision now

I only act as he'll allow

But far as all of them can see

There are no strings on me

I thought my strings had long since snapped

I thought I was no longer trapped

I thought that I could choose to flee

But puppets can't be free
