I want to make sure I understand this.

The people who quit the game and are railing about how awful things are here SO VERY LOUDLY played the first handful of days on a game that is only a month or so old, and are basing their opinions on what was ICly a hugely traumatic/dramatic situation for all of the characters. They are not taking into consideration the increase in the playerbase, that people are now starting to settle into their characters, that the immediate BOOM of brand new PCs in a highly traumatic situation is over, or that the characters in question have perhaps learned a bit and changed.

There are people claiming how this game is based on some other game, that have not played on this one, taking potshots at the game for fun.

Staff have asked people to let them know if they're currently having problems on the OOC level that they can address, and have stated pretty clearly that they will not be dictating character attitudes. .

@surreality I have seen several things done that were people going off by themselves to Do Stuff without staff-alts being involved in even making the suggestion for The Stuff Being Done, so I feel it's safe to say that there is support for folks to go do their awesome thing.

I'll take this one.

1. No one is claiming this game is based on another game. There are people referencing storytelling/staffing similarities to a previous game.
2. No one is taking pot shots at this game for fun. Downplaying people's critique of the game as being some childish trolling tactic is an excellent way to try to negate the things that they're saying, but it's really not a respectful means of doing so.
3. Not all of the people who have quit did so early, and not all of the people who have shared complaints with people like myself are posting in this thread.

Here's what you need to understand: There are people that had a negative taste in their mouth due to railroading, cliquish behavior, and difficulties breaking into RP with characters due to a large amount of IC angst that, in their opinion, made icebreaking and getting into the game very difficult.

I see no reason why we can't treat this politely and respectfully without resorting to OH MY GOD JERRY GIVE ME THE MIC. I NEED TO MAKE A POST ABOUT HOW STUPID THESE PEOPLE ARE. means.

That's what you're doing. You totally wanna get jabs in at @surreality. WE GET IT ALREADY. STAHP. Shut your lying, heartless, venomous SCORPION WOMAN mouth and go back to reading and not commenting. I want this thread to be 'DURRRdeDurpBurpBlehBalawwwwwBlurtDerrr free.

We should fight We should fight and have fun

Staff is right and you are wrong. That seems to be what Seraphim73 is trying to relate. Whatever problems you had either weren't problems, or aren't problems anymore.

Couple that with Seraphim73's character being the star of the game and you've got a recipe for literally every single game run by a married couple ever.

Right. The main complaints I'm hearing from my friends who have left the game, or former players of this couple's previous endeavor, is that the game is awfully railroady, cliquish, and that the main IC clique is so embroiled with their own enjoyment of the game (as led by staff PC), that complaints get an "I don't know what you're talking about" response, or that the issues people are having with the game are non-issues and are explained by staff as not being issues, which is what we are witnessing in this thread.

I raise you a cybernetic Morgan Freeman making devil horns with King Diamond. #SoEffingMetal

@Arkandel I tend to get a lot of OOC pages about moving the scene away from the current venue the moment a police character arrives. Webb, was it? There was a character who was a cop/hunter with a large dog. I'd be in scenes with changelings, werewolves, and shifters, and Webb would walk into the coffee house or whatever with his dog to BUY COFFEE AND DONUTS and the players would freak the fuck out in pages like he was the fun police. Me? I roleplayed with the guy, because even though my character knew he was an IC cop, was doing nothing illegal and it's okay to be sociable with cops.

"Hey what's up? Have a safe night, officer..."

But in pages I got a lot of meta-gamey nonsense from players wanting to scram because they knew OOCly he was a hunter and a cop, and were theorizing that he cherrypicked and joined the scene specifically to find supernatural characters to hunt.

Duh. He's a cop/hunter. His whole CONCEPT is to do this, not that YOUR characters know this...

But, topically, this kind of stuff also tends to make players feel unwanted, especially when they have no clue that behind the scenes, players are adapting their roleplay based on the super-type information gleamed through +finger or wikipage.
