Dear Galaxy
Aug. 6th, 2006 06:40 pmDear Apharsites,
To begin with, I'm going to start with an off-the-top-of-my-head list of Things That Irritate Me About This Game:
1. Wank every othermonth week day hour.
2. Players who participate in such wank who have the nerve to call others childish.
3. Being the unofficial game-therapist for more players than should be necessary. I would mind less if I hadn't been the one to specifically request a Player Relations mod, if one hadn't actually been "hired," and if people didn't still come to me, a player with no title or rank, for help or discussion.
4. The number of times an IC situation has caused OOC drama.
5. That there is no limit to the amount of pups a mun can play at a time.
6. Blanket Statements
7. "Anonymous letters."
Things You should Know About Me:
1. This is the third RP game I have ever been in. Ever.
2. I am one of the younger players.
3. I do go to school full time.
4. During winter and summer breaks, I work full time, waking at 5AM and going to bed at 9PM. I do not work the standard M-F work-week, but I do get 40 hours a week.
5. In every relationship I have ever had, RL or online, I have always, always been the one people come to with their problems. I don't mind this, but I do worry that I'm not always the right person to be helping them.
6. I have known Mandy (Zuko, Hellboy, Paige, Ed, Harth, House) for two years and can count on the fingers of one hand how many days we have gone without speaking to each other either online or on the phone.
I leave the last one separated like that because I have a feeling a lot of people will be hung up on that for a while.
Here's the thing, Apharsites: I'm here to play. I don't care what you, the mun, wants. I don't care what you, the mod, wants. I don't even care what you, the pup, wants. I want a game, I want a plot, I want to tag someone and get a scene. Yes, it's true, the majority of plots run so far have been planned an executed by non-mods.
You know what? I don't care.
We have a meeting-plot right now concerning Harth Fray, To Soul Or Not To Soul, with a side order of Katara and Sokka, To Exile or Not To Exile. We have a Grail Quest to find the Holy Cup of Christ. We have a MALL EXPEDITION. All run by non-mods, all played by a wide variety of pups! I LOVE IT.
Can we continue it?
Not, apparently, without wank.
I love this game. I love playing Sokka, obviously, because he's changed so much from his canon. I don't want to leave.
But when I get online and the first thing I hear is Mandy's taking over the game, Rue isn't modding, Roger's whining again, Saphie's being OOC, you know what I want to do?
Leave. And get the hell away from all of you people that, for whatever reason, care more about the players than the game. We have a GAME. If your character is disgruntled, LET THEM BE DISGRUNTLED, but for god's sake, do you really have to turn an IC issue into an OOC one? Does it really, honestly matter if Zuko wants a dictatorship? Can you not play with that? Does it really matter if Methos challenges him and builds a democracy? Can Methos not handle the government of Apocalyptica going his way? Can Zuko not suck it up and deal with what comes?
I'm sick of this. I don't need this. I'm here to play and this is one of the last times that I will sign on to chat and immediately get messages about the newest wank.
Would you get this upset over Monopoly?
