Since this is someone running a game on their own private property in a free society, I'd suggest that someone a strong aversion to social justice themes should respect their property rights.
You need to reread your Locke, Hayek, and Nozick.
I actually don't want to busy up this thread anymore. But I can't let this particular comment slide.
You forfeit your perfect right to some kind of Lockesian defense, when you advertise your product to strangers in a public forum in the hopes of finding more collaborators. You fully deserve whatever comments or observations might arise from it. Whether they are mostly positive or negative. You can't filter out only the negative comments and leave the positive, or it gives third parties a deceptive view of what you're really about.
Everyone here would take offense to Amazon.com deleting negative reviews, or a company paying someone to leave positive yelp reviews.
I think the response has been comparatively mild, and probably sparked more interest in the game from those people that do agree, than would otherwise have noticed it.

Nnnnnot the same thing when you're offering a product you expect people to pay for. Not even close to the same thing.

It's not the same thing. But it's close to the same thing. You're trying to draw in strangers, and make them interested in what you have to offer.
I've over it, though. I had my immediate reaction, and now I hope Supes and the game all the best. I hope he attracts enough likeminded people to create a fun and sustainable RP environment.

I'm glad. It's really easy to get lost in the mire and muck of tearing down things you don't like when it's usually a lot healthier for everyone to let people enjoy things that don't really affect you, even if you don't like it.

I thought the point there was that once you go play there, you deal with what they want to do. Was anyone saying shut down the public communications on this or another site?

Just wanna say that, while I'm not a regular poster or anything, I have played on this game, and it IS fairly solid so far with a friendly playerbase in my limited experience so far.
Sups is a really solid storyteller too.

Just an update in case anyone is looking: FTA is currently offline due to a power outage at our Host. Return is unknown at this time. The outage is severe storm related.
