What do you think about the staff telling Shaloonsh to step down?From what I saw I’m not sure he was told to step down. Words are important and putting the “voluntarily” stepped down shit in the announcement was a mistake, purposeful or otherwise. It probably should have read that he was removed. In that same vein many other staff should also be removed for other shit too.
MoralsMorals shouldn’t have anything to do with this. It’s about what the policies are and staff are allowed to do whatever they want, there is no such thing as right or wrong in a situation where you’re given complete freedom to do whatever you want once you’re on staff and brought into the fold.
Provide comments on alleged sexual abuse?I don’t care too much about that. I am a natural skeptic so I don’t believe random shit without proof but also the ramifications of not believing something like that is worse then being skeptical. I just don’t really care too much about that particular topic, it’s all one thing: staff abuse.
Putting me in charge?A ludicrous hypothetical. I don’t deal in hypotheticals they are a waste of time and are not productive.
FOIC?It has its place in the RPI genre but the Arm community uses it a bit too much, and staff punishes it needlessly. The whole point is that it works on the honor system. It’s almost impossible to enforce and staff themselves are as egregious abusers of spreading IC info as much as players, rules for thee but not for me?
Fade to Black?I FTB 90% of the time, sometimes I would RP a sex scene but rarely not really my cup of tea. Consent once doesn’t equal consent everytime. Sometimes I’m in the mood to read how my PC is getting a blowjob, sometimes not.
Magickers.Magic has always been overpowered on Arm. It’s the result of staff putting in a system that is unbeatable by mundanes. I think Arm shines in mundane play generally. There is a place for magic but it is far too often wielded recklessly and by the most notorious of pkillers.
Races.There is no best race. Depends on what kind of player you are.
Comments on the community right now.I don’t really care too much about it. I think it’s kind of funny more then anything. I try to find humor during serious or angry situations because really there is no point in staying mad or upset over something, it doesn’t accomplish anything.
Whistleblowers?Everyone who has ever posted their story here or anywhere is a “whistleblower” but it’s not really a term I would use for this. It’s just people sharing their stories of an online game. The current situation is a lot more serious of course but it never should have gotten to that point since supposedly the offending staff member drove tons of players away already. Eventually you have to cut your loses. Apparently staff could drive away every player on the game and still never get removed.
Chatbot and me.I think I’ve proven that modelling an AI on a person isn’t really realistic, compare my answers to the chatbot here and you’ll see that it’s not really capable of profound thought or critical thinking. Or to know how I would actually feel in every single situation is just impossible. It wouldn’t even know if I would answer with a simple yes or no if I felt like being laconic.
Dwarves 1 karma.Yes.
