Bellatrix Lestrange Article: Reasons (OOC for all)

posted by Lord-Voldemort

To all the Bellatrixes and Voldemorts out there:
There are now 3 of each, in order of appearance, BellaBlackL, Bellatrix-Black, BellatrixL / Lord-Voldemort, Lord_Voldemort, IAmVoldy.

I am purely curious, now that the newcomers know that these roles are already filled, why do you keep trying to roleplay as them? It confuses people. We have all different, unique voices and it seems a shame that we're trying to mash them all together to be the same character. Why don't you try other characters? Lucius, Snape, Alecto, etc...?

Also, you ask why 2 is ok but 3 isn't? It's not the amount, it's the voice. Bellatrix-Black and BellaBlackL message each other, work together and build off each others' comments to make the RP better and funnier, they have different roles (before Azkaban, after Azkaban.) The problem with adding another is that the balance is thrown off. From what I see of the comments, there is a war between the original Trio of me, BellaBlackL and Bellatrix-Black and the new Duo of BellatrixL and Lord_Voldemort, which makes it hard to RP properly and humourously. Especially with the arrival of a third Voldemort.

Some solutions have been offered:
1.Newcomers should leave
2.Newcomers should go to a different spot
3.Everyone should leave
4.Why can't everyone stay?

As I've stated above and as you will find in the comments all over this spot, no one other than the new RPers support everyone staying.

BTW, a "spot" is a fan spot, this is the Bellatrix Lestrange spot.

I do think that the newcomers should choose a different spot or character, Bellatrix-Black agrees and even says that she will leave if necessary to even out the character count.

I would suggest that we just pair off with one Voldemort and one Bellatrix and go to different spots, but I want to stick with BellaBlackL and Bellatrix-Black, we know each other and we work well together.

I don't know what the newcomers will say to this, but I hope they'll be reasonable and listen to the general opinion of this entire spot, please don't add any more Voldemorts or Bellatrixes, we were fine with 1 and 2.

Quick note before you comment, this is completely out of character, no roleplaying here, I want to talk to the people behind the computer screens, not the characters being portrayed. I hope we can really resolve this in a way that makes everyone, or at least the majority, happy.

WolfPred Theres another Bella RP calling herself BellaTheNutcase!

Lord-Voldemort I know, it's pathetic. These people just can't accept that we were here first and that no one wants them in this spot!

Narcissa-Malfoy Seriously, I feel like I'm going to have a mental breakdown. Why don't we just ignore them and carry on like we used to be? It will do good to our health.

Lord_Voldemort "Some Idiot"?!?! I Take offence to that? And guys, whats a lonely Dark Lord To Do? it might be fun to be snape or grayback, but IDK how to switch my username or whatevs.

Lord_Voldemort Okay, OOC, I read through your guyses argument. I really think you guys need to talk.

Umbridge Being the cultural anthropologist I am, I want to get everyone's demographics and backgrounds so I can thoroughly analyze the whole event and publish an article about online roleplaying :P *And personal interviews OOC *College does horrible things to your brain when something like this sounds like fun.

Lord-Voldemort Good idea Umbridge...Java...whatever. And Lord_Voldemort, you can't change your username, you have to make a new account, be Snape! That would be great!

IAmVoldy I dont know if i can make a new account

IAmVoldy Look, cant we give my idea a try?

Bellatrix-Black We did give your idea a try, look all over the comments, I don't know about the others but Lord-Voldemort and I don't like it at all. It's not funny, you're just talking about making out and glitter. And if you need a new email just make up a new hotmail email, I have about 7 emails for various things

Umbridge And you can link hotmail e-mail accounts together so you can jump from one to the other easily. Also the glitter and making out gets old fast. And I really like both of those things so that's saying a lot from me. *Maybe that last statement was not out of character :o

Bellatrix-Black LOL! Umbridge making out with Dumbledore in AVPS :P

Umbridge She knows what she likes :P

JavaJoker Gross. *Okay I'm done screwing around. Back to OOC seriousness :P

IAmVoldy Look, we can change it up, i mean, we're not ALL bout glitter and making out, thats just the beginning. give us another chance, it'll get funnier, i promise.

IAmVoldy Besides, that was BellaTheNutcase talking, not me. I'll talk to her bout it.

IAmVoldy Seriously we need another chance.

Lord-Voldemort Fine, just don't comment on everything, but I'm telling you, the originals don't like this whole "silly" thing, can't you just choose other characters? Or another spot? I don't know about BellaBlackL but 2/3 is tired of this

Yaxley Hey guys, sorry if im butting in, but I was hoping I could add my two cents. I admit I laughed my ass off at some of "IAmVoldy"'s responses and comments, and I dont think you guys are giving him a fair chance, since you all seem pre-disposed to hate any RP'ers that aren't in your group.....just saying, but either way, IAmVoldy, you were pretty funny at first, but it got old. Plus, that sidekick you have, "BellaNutcase" or something like that, she's seriously rude and kind of a bitch. She left a post on my wall saying I needed a makeover and something about glitter.... I mean, firdst you butt in, and now being rude to everyone? seriously, not cool. But either way, its not so bad being a diff. character. Being Yaxley isnt that bad, and Its kinda fun to try and come up with random death eater thoughts... Anyway, I think that anyone who wants to RP should have the chance to do so, but people seem to overreact over it, hmmmmmmmm.

Umbridge Thank you Yaxley. I hope it does not appear that we are overreacting too much. We are just trying to get the situation settled. Not only for the original RP's, but for other people on the spot who are likely clueless of the situation as a whole. *Also I like the character you chose. You have a lot of freedom on how to give him a voice.

Bellatrix-Black I'm overreaccting, to how he screwed up the pop quiz, and how Nutcase is wrecking the spot, and how the general opinion of this spot is that the silly versions aren't working and that you should choose another character, and yet you still persist! It's just common sense that you should listen to the thoughts of the main members here and make a decision based on that. In all honesty, from your actions, it doesn't sound like you're reading any of our posts at all. I'm sick of this Nutcase glitter bitch.

Lord-Voldemort To be honest, I liked Lord_Voldemort and BellatrixL better than you two, and that's saying something, at least they had the sense to listen when the realized that no one wants them here. *hint*

Umbridge Also, remember it's not that the new people have to stop RP-ing. They can make a new character. If you really want to shoot glitter everywhere...become a fairy.

Lord-Voldemort Go to Twilight and be Edward! If you like glitter so much

Yaxley Look, dont get me wrong, I think that "BellatheNutcase" and "IAmVoldy" should get lost. I posted that previous thingy BEFORE I found out how they screwed up the pop quiz (is it possible to get rid of those bogus questions???), and did anyone else see those stupid pictures they added that had nothing to do with bellatrix?? No i completely agree, no one was overreacting. I just wanted to say they were funny at first, but now I want them GONE same as you do. * Thank you, Umbridge. I agree if those two MUST RP, go screw up a different spot.
