There've been plots in Allanak, political upper-eschelon stuff that players are involved in. A variety of players playing a variety of characters in and out of clans. Sorry you're missing it but you not being involved doesn't mean it's not happening. Do these plots have more than 6-8 pcs involved? From what I can tell, it's at least a dozen in the ones I know about/are involved in. Some of the characters in these plots aren't in any clan at all, some are in noble clans, some in merchant clans, some are templars. I also know there's more than those couple of plotlines going on but I'm not involved in them and only know of them from the sidelines. At least five characters I know for sure involved in one are no-karma mundane independents. Two of those are in clans. The other three are not. If you're not involved it's probably because 1. you're the target and everyone else is doing a good job of keeping it from you or 2. you're idling on the ledge at the Gaj while the game is happening everywhere else or 3. you only log on between 3am and 3:45 am and go straight to the temple to spam cast, then log out again. |

It's true, I confess. I lied. I lie all the time. In fact, I'm lying right now. Honestly. |

the fact that I need to explain the difference between a plot that staff throws with some minor glimmer of hope at having reaching effects over the populace, and then the player plots that can basically be summed up with, 'why you sleepin wit my gurl, bruh', is borderline ridiculous.
I understand players are doing minor little plots, you lil bitch ass niggas, but my gripe is with staff blatantly ignoring the thing they wanted to work on and then fucking off to the tablelands seven months later.

What player initiatives have taken place in Allanak in the last year that would make it into a summary of notable things happening in the city during that time? Like, something that one would even notice if one wasn't besties with the people involved.

Hey guys I'm going to be opaque about the plots while you guys move the goal posts.
The truth of the matter is, is OP banned? I Wanna know if OP is really banned.

Guys, guys. An HRPT in a remote location that 95% of the world's population expressly avoids is much more important than the only city in the game. Leaving said city depopulated and utterly devoid of staff attention for months on end will have no impact on player numbers or general game health at all. Just play in the Tablelands, gith will enrich the roleplaying environment in the way that we all know gith are naturally inclined to do. It won't just be an uncontrollable PKfest, it'll be great.

I fucking HATE to agree with Ghaati on anything, and RGS is spot on. You want some plots? Fucking make some.

People are EXCITED about the tablelands plot, the GMHs are in the thick of something, clans are active and there's now VERY good reasons you should join them. You can find plots as a mundane, just bang a few fmes and throwaway characters and you'll find yourself so involved in shit your head will spin, and not the tired and old soap-opera drama, but some real schemes. Expecting to find RP in the Gaj? Unlikely, because that place is fucking gross. You're seriously being spoon-fed some major plots right now and if you can't get in? TRY HARDER.

What do we have down in the South? You guessed it: the great Naysayer, my way or the highway, seidhr, the boringest blip. I pity the storytellers under him. it's not an either/or. it's a both/and. |

staff can now play their characters in Tuluk without anyone else messing it up For some reason, I found this entirely too amusing. |

It's still a general administrative decision to have the semi-annual HRPT in the Tablelands. Besides, if the rest of the staff sit idly by while one region's staff fail miserably at doing anything useful whatsoever, it's unprofessional for them to do nothing. The whole staffing model is flawed when Allanak can be neglected for months on end and nobody else does anything because it's not their area. |

I think it's fair to say maybe staff's hands are tied? Or they don't see the problem yet.
Looks like Players are already taking the best steps, voting with their feet. Hopefully that can wake some one up.
I personally know I've stored/left/ moved when I didn't like the staffing in the area. em shrugs

Thing is, there ARE things going on in Allanak, it might not be in your face, but hoooooly fuck. I know some will say that's just as bad as no plots at all... still, I've heard Vennant's been a bit more animated as of late, for one. Yeah, nobody is going to give a shit about Amos the Grebber, unless he weasels his way in somehow.
