hexennacht mods. [userpic]



If everyone knew 1984 was when everything was going to happen, why was no one prepared?
Hexennacht is an alternate universe MWPP game set in 1985; a world where Gellert Grindelwald is now the Minister of Magic for all of Europe, and Muggleborn wizards live in fear of the Black Caps, Grindelwald's personal army, charged with keeping the Muggles and wizards alike in line. Hexennacht begins with the latest decree restricting magic allowed by Muggleborn wizards to the simplest forms of magic, while the purebloods are allowed to get away with murder. With the Death Eaters on the run, Voldemort in Azkaban with no hope of getting out, and the Order in hiding, along with the remains of their single ally, a former terrorist organization, is there any hope of restoring Europe to a land of tolerance?

Comments

First of all, please do your research and get your facts straight. The Reichskristallnacht took place on the night from November 9th to November 10th, 1938. World War II started on September 1, 1939 when the 3rd Reich invaded Poland.

The Reichskristallnacht was part of the Holocaust and not WWII. Both took place at roughly the same time, although the Holocaust with its systematic destruction of the European Jews basically began the moment Hitler was in control.

Anyway, November 9 is still a day where Germany remembers the victims of the Holocaust and that something like this shall never happen again. The Reichskristallnacht is also one of the reasons why November 9 is not the German National Holiday even though it was on November 9, 1989 after weeks of peaceful demonstrations that the Wall came down and the Cold War was basically over. Same nation, 61 years later.

Now, as a German I find it very offensive and painful that you would take such a sensitive topic and use it for a game. Some things simply shouldn't be used for games and the Reichskristallnacht is definitely one of the,. The term alone is too evocative and powerful.

What's it going to be next? Endloesung maybe?

It is one thing when a writer uses history to make a paint, create awareness and sensitivity and educate his/her readers. It's quite another when a sensitive topic is used for a frivolous game.

Please change the name to something more appropriate or abandon the game in its entirety.
