I'm here to tell ya the favoritism thing is shenanigans. It doesn't exist. I've seen first hand sketchy or unpleasant folks get things when they've put the work in. Even when we knew they would probably botch the thing. Moreover there are plenty of people who have gotten so many chances not to be dicks it wasn't even funny. And even they could achieve what they wanted if they put in the work. Do things fall through the cracks? Yes. Are there times when someones app goes faster? Yes. Do apps get missed, or things get delayed? Yes. Do you pay to play this game? No. Does the staff recieve -any- kind of compensation? No. Is the staff made of humans and players? Yes.

The whole favoritism nonsense has always been a pet peeve. I've been accused of being on the receiving end of it, well before I was an imm and after. And it's crap. I would put tons of time and effort into the things I wanted to make happen. Same as others who got stuff they wanted. I think maybe some people have a misconception of the amount of effort they put in to get something vs how much others do. That might not be the case here, I dunno. But favoritism claims are infact nonsense.

It is unfortunate you can't post a single post without cussing, calling names and all around behaving like an ass. People are less inclined to listen to any concerns and issues if you express them this way. Angela Merkel is a very competent politician. She is educated and can argue with facts and not just emotions, she can make decisions not everybody likes. So even if I do not agree with all she does politically, I can respect her as a competent woman, so I do not mind the comparison. Where do you get all this hate really.

So as to the content. No, the val miran siege did not happen instantly. It took several characters months to get things to develop to that point. The thing in creating a global plot is to get people involved and play along wth it. To put a ton of effort into it. F0xx who is one of your hate idols for some unclear reason plays ONE of several characters who are involved deeply into this. You got involved with Kelmi too but put no effort into it aside from one or two notes and that was it. 

Some things won't be done because of balance. E.g. when a past character of also foxx tried to blow up the Knight Castle they succeeded only partially even though a lot of people put a lot of effort into it, for balance reasons. Some things are there for just that, balance. E.g. doors that have a nopass flag.

As to the tournament idea, I think it's a good idea, but just like with everything else, you need to put in effort, find participants, find a patron, actually PUSH the whole thing. Just doing a few notes and then waiting for things to happen will rarely ever work.

I think the reason she seems to understand him a lot more than most others is because English isn't their primary language. In some cases that may make it seem harder, but Anume has a lot better grasp on English than many others, combined with the years of dealing with constant harassment for ~12 years as an Imm now, and the constant forum moderation as well. That's a really good skill to have in this game regardless of the era in time, as not everyone is understandable by everyone 100% of the time.

He can go about things a lot differently if that's how he feels though. He can not log into Facebook, choose not to talk to those people, block people who play the game, or even just play without using Facebook or the Forum in general. Other people don't force us to feel anything, we allow ourselves to feel what we do in cases where we feel wronged. The reason I say this is because I know how much the game felt like before I stopped using any chat programs, and I log into Facebook at most once a day from July last year on. I use my time on here for training and studying anymore, and I don't get angry at all except when the game crashes and I find out I lost about 15% in a skill.

His quality of life would be a lot better by cutting out those avenues though if the game really gets to him that much. He can play a few characters and not have to RP them. He doesn't need to get involved in world plots or attempt to. His PK game seems to be strong. He enjoys the game a great deal obviously. Therefore he should step back a while, and the next time he plays, choose to not use any avenue of communication to talk to other players. That seems to be where most of his hostility is coming from. He'll be happier for doing so, or maybe he'll get over his addiction.

Its appropriate that he compares her to a politician.

Anume may not have been elected to her post, but FTR I believe most of us would cast our ballot her direction. After all Eshaine's popularity at the time of assent was astronomical.

I have given her so many opportunities to say OMG you are a FOOL!

Always, just a smiley and a gentle nudge toward the path I need to be on.

edit: ascended from 55-58 IIRC.

After the staff had to delete yet a few more very inappropriate posts of hotspring monkey, I've decided to ban him. There is no reasoning with him, his language is not adequate for an adult and he keeps insulting both players and the staff with extremely inappropriate language.
