Please tell me this isn't the guy that had a meltdown on the GDB because pc's in the Byn were "mean" to his character? tbh i love it when other characters are mean to mine, cause thats just how the game is supposed to be. but when they are more carelessly homicidal than the usual homicidal person, then I start to question things. |

Had some questionable deaths myself, Amos. Some more questionable than others. I'm assuming most are legit but some are just, so far flung it makes me say, wait, wuuuuut?

Based only on the title "Idea: Waiting and RL matchups hindering plots" and very light skimming, I'm glad to see this thread on the GDB: gdb.armageddon.org/index.php/topic,51553.0.html
I used to routinely solicit for a GDB handle from other players so I could use Personal Messages on the GDB to reduce my wasted time in game. I figured I could use that OOC channel to discuss the OOC issue of OOC meeting times, and it would be kosher because A) I'd share whichever GDB handle I wanted to use for a given character and then B) let the other player decide whether or not to send me a PM back from whatever GDB handle they preferred. I kept doing this up through my last PC, who was a templar, because the staff explicitly told me to stop doing it. That explicit proscription from staff was yet another reason why the game became less fun for me, which ultimately led to me leaving.

I like the idea too, but then you have the hardcore purist crowd who just can't seem to fathom how streamlining IC interactions to get things done could be a boon. Meanwhile, I'll just get back to marking characters I don't like for death on AIM/Skype/Steam/Discord because that's clearly how the old fogies like it done. Make some IC concessions to communications when playtimes don't sync up, and you remove some of the temptation to do this, and introduce a very real possibility your plots will be uncovered. Otherwise, you'll have what you've always had.
EDIT: I just wanted to clarify that I don't do what I said I'd get back to in my above statement. It was meant as humor.

Shhhh, Jkarr, you're sullying my delusions that they don't know it's me.

So there's a staff announcement on the GDB for a Borsail noble titled: "Be anything you want." gdb.armageddon.org/index.php/topic,50922.msg961641.html#msg961641 Borsail has always been my favorite of the Nakki noble houses and the invitation to play an open ended noble role in that house sounds awesome... except the fine print says otherwise (emphasis mine): To my eyes this is yet another simple example of why I lost my drive and interest in the game: the staff won't let the players play and the leaders lead. |

God forbid any clan have any power that isn't checked, locked down, or forbidden by staff decree. If Borsail had access to their own warrior clan they might be able to influence the game and affect change! Can't have that.

If Borsail had access to their own warrior clan they might be able to influence the game and affect change! Can't have that. I agree with your assessment. But to be fair I think that the staff would say that the reason for forbidding the reopening of the Wyverns to players is to promote more consolidation of the military PC base. The mentality that removes player options to make the game more fun is the same mentality that led to the closing of Tuluk, the closing of countless clans and subclans, the removal of slave roles, and more. It's a mentality that I disagree with, as I've mentioned many times before in this forum. IMO it is also a mentality that is failing on the merits. If the closure of Tuluk actually improved things in Nak then they would be opening role opportunities in Nak, not limiting them. edit: corrected typo |

Playing a noble has to be a suffering experience because of what it's like being a useless character. If you're a character and you could be friends with a hunter or a noble the hunter is way more useful. Way back when as a Borsail noble you would have your Wyvern group to grow, slaves to boss around and threaten people with bondage. Staff will give you a laundry list of garbage you can do but the good stuff is gone and everyone knows it.

If so, why? Do you think that the staff project of closing stuff to make the game more fun is working? If so, why? |
