as a IC virtual thing i don't have an issue with it and it fits. as an actual coded clan i think it's superfluous and doesn't really have a place nor contribute much to the game. but it's easily ignorable for 99.99% of the playerbase (whereas other forced systems like shadow artistry weren't) so i don't think people see it as a biggie. sirra sums up my personal sentiments though; it sounds like the most boring thing in the world to me. if im having a fantasy roleplaying experience i want to be crushing some skulls or pretending to be a wizard, not playing tea party dress up hour. |

I don't know if a city as brutal as Allanak, where life is as cheap as it is, would really have a frilly little aide-traning club. Or if any commoner 'aide' would even be expected to be anything but cheap tools, and any real servant is likely one raised by your House for that purpose. |

Out of pure morbid curiosity, is there anyone here that actually thinks the Atrium is a good addition to the game beside kronibas...? Umm hey jackass, I have never said that I think the Atrium is the pinnacle of Arm play or even really what should be focused on - instead, I have referenced the fact that it has been repeatedly praised by contemporary staff members (or maybe just Nyr and Adhira). so go back to the GDB if you are going to continue to put words in my mouth and in general act like an enormous pecker. |

I feel like virtually it's probably a decent idea, like a French "salon" where all the political intrigues happen that most PCs would never be able to hear/participate/care about but in reality it just gives me the image of a big mansion full of concentrated highschool drama. |

Since this seems to be of some interest to people once I posted a 72 hour old log of the Tuluki RPT as experience by myself. 2. I forgot my password and e-mailed the staff to ask them if I could have it reset. It was done within 24 hours and when I sent in my character app from my Jeshin account the staffer who approved it said welcome back to the game. This is all with my main account which is called Jeshin and which I have confirmed repeatedly is me on this board. 3. As you can see from my wishing up for animation I was not singled out or mistreated or immediately forcestored. The staff did a good job with the animation and I felt like I had a good time. If anything they focused on the newb more than me and that's fine. It's also safe to assume that they didn't know who I was at the time too so it could have meant nothing. I'm leaning toward they read this board, know who you are, and don't care. Note that staff seem to have the most problem either with people who publicly shit in the GDB, or former staff (exceptions to jcarter and delerak who got staff's wrath for other reasons  ). Who approved your PC with a welcome back note? As an on and off player I never got one of those. |

I love the Atrium as it squeezes out nice and Mushy F-mes to PK.

#3 - I meant that the person animating may not have known that Ty was linked to Jeshin. It depends how the wish displays information and whether the animating staffer had any way to quickly find out which account owned Ty.
As for who approved me, I do not know, they just said they made a minor fix to my mdesc and welcome me back. No name given and the acceptance e-mail no longer lists them.

I may want to note here that I haven't once interacted with the Atrium or anyone in it, soooo.. It may well be that once I get back into play, my view of it may change.
And like Jcarter said, you can always ignore it. Even if you're a noble, you can flip it off and specifically hire people who never went there.

Jeshin, You should send in a character report with the links to the conversations / log dumps here. See how that turns out for you.

No.
1) What I do with my time outside of the game world and off their official websites is none of the ARM staffs business.
2) If I violate a rule, I full expect and desire to be punished for the rule. Even if it is a stupid rule. Consistency is key to staffing a game.
3) There is a huge difference between me coming here and speaking my mind and me intentionally sending all of that content via request tool to staff. One can be seen as someone doing what they do and the other can be seen as intentionally taunting staff.
While I do not care if I am banned, I also do not make it a point to antagonize the armageddon staff. I am doing what I am doing and they are doing what they are doing. If we need to come into conflict than it'll happen when it happens. I don't need to be a dick about it. Also pretty sure they read this board so they probably already know?

I just think you need to go Full Monty, man. Put it all out there. But if you don't want to, that's okay.

I've gone full monty. Sending the staff links to my logs and request tool dump is not required. That is seeking conflict or trying to provoke them to a negative reaction. I already know what will happen if I do it. They will immediately ban me for being a dick about my posting here or they'll go, so what?
If someone wants to personally tell the staff to look at my posts, feel free, but I won't be doing it. You have my blessing to do it as much as you want. I just won't be doing it myself.

Jeshin is exactly the way I think many of you should act and try to be like. While he is dissatisfied with the game, and the Staff, he shows it and writes it in a mature way and tries to find some sort of middle ground. Instead of trying to piss of the Staff by going to extremes, he acts normal and plays the game normally and realizes that the Staff isn't out to eat him whole. I sorta do the same (minus what many of you consider as me sucking Nyr's virtual weewee) and nothing bad has happened to me either.

I can also appreciate a moderate voice (for or against) the game, staff, or policies more than extreme ranting against staff, or extreme sycophantic behavior. A moderate voice is a lot more trustworthy and less likely to have ulterior motives.

I'm honestly curious because it doesn't seem like this board would be very pro-Atrium. I would think it would take a lot of flak like Tuluk tends to do but I'm not very familiar with Atrium rp so who knows. You can put me in the anti-Atrium camp. It's all the shittiest parts of Tuluk and the Bard Circle, condensed into one f-me extravaganza. I don't think it works for Allanak, either. Way back in the day, before it was an f-me extravaganza, the Atrium was a place for blatantly obvious ungemmed elementalists to socialize. The pale, raven haired woman adjusts her all-black outfit casually, but not so much like a Drovian would. Because she's not a magicker. |
