Ghoulage on Kingsmouth

@kls I'm probably not who you think I am. I wasn't very vocal about this issue when we had the discussion on the game. Needless to say I concur with the player who 'was' vocal about it. I'm just someone else who feels the same way.
While I'm not a fan of the feudal system I didn't have a problem with @Alzie's posts. I found them to be alright.

This thread is pages and pages of irrational bandwagon dislike for the game, by people who aren't playing but are somehow sure it's a terrible place. This thread has made me deeply mistrust anything posted on this forum, it was so completely warped from the actual reality of the game.
What @Munsell is saying is finally a legitimate, actual problem.
Being ignored and jerked around by staff has soured my experience significantly in the last couple of months.
That said, I've already managed to have more fun on this game than I've had in all my years of mushing. I'm not exaggerating. I managed to feel involved and accomplished in a vampire game, of all places. My actions mattered and weren't taken in a vacuum. I consistently have so much to RP about that there's no time for just fun, relaxing scenes of shooting the shit or meeting randoms. There is no time for TS. There's no time for Bar RP or slice of life or boring. I hear this from other players as well. Someone was just complaining to me that they were simultaneously playing several scenes at once, not getting enough sleep and it's still not enough to cover everything that's going on.
This game is insanely active and happening. If it imploded right now, my experience there would still have been worth it.
So I believe it is insane to manage, staff-wise, especially with the brunt of the effort being shouldered by Shavalyoth. I understand that sometimes unpopular decisions have been tried in order to alleviate this. However, this policy and the way the staffer acted about it... They change significantly what I was saying about the game previously. That the culture was friendly towards the player and not punitive, because of how small and tight-knit it is? Shavalyoth's open and kind approach to players is the complete opposite of this post and these recent actions. Why do you punish your loyal and invested playerbase? I trusted to see better here.

Surprise. Some people can really enjoy a game where other people have had bad experiences and others question some of the policies.
The reason for forums like this is so you are forewarned of things/problems that are possibly common when you go in to form your own opinion.

@Tempest Except this thread consisted almost solely of misleading and misunderstood information that was simply untrue. I'm not the only actual player who had to come out several times to correct posters here who aren't even playing and have no idea what's going on in the game.
Just shut up and let us hate-rant on Hastur, who actually deserves it.

@Sundown
I think you are horribly mistaken on your point about 'misleading and misunderstood information' coming from people don't play, since the most recent issue was...the few pages about the freezing/idle policy which was not documented anywhere until after that debate, despite misinformed fan-squeeing players jumping in to go 'oh it's a rule that if you idle out you can be killed off'. -
So the wiki says that apps are closed, it looks like. Are there no new characters being accepted currently?
-
Yes, applications are closed, but only for the time being.
-
Darn. Okay! Thanks for answering!
-
Unless you already had an application in when it closed. Which is what I thought you were doing, @Sunny.

Yes, well. I have a lot on my plate right now. I sadly just got around to it at the wrong time. I'll check back in a while.

You do, yes, and I was teasing, which I can do because you're really kind and don't often beat me up for lunch money.

Why would I take your lunch money? I would much prefer you just spend it on me!

That's still taking it.
