I thought you'd say that after I posted. There's more activity on the forum, so there's probably some things irl being slightly neglected.
Influential isn't actually the right word either, of which I was avoiding. You don't seem controlling or jerky, though that may be the personal way I'm reading your stuff. Since that last mafia game, you seem a little more open about yourself, and also open to other people's thoughts and POV's.
But then, that could be just my perception of what I'm reading as I'm comparing it to the earlier hado with a shirtless guy covered in blood and butchering something on a workbench as an avatar. I don't remember reading much of his stuff though.
