| modly post #26 : excuses & plot refresher |
[26 Nov 2010|09:23am] |
Hey all! Sorry for the silence as of late -- November is a crazy month for everyone, especially with the holidays coming up, so we really can't blame anyone for being slow during this period. However, we are absolutely still here and adamant about getting things going again ASAP. We'll be putting up the activity check next week, after the Thanksgiving weekend has passed, since we're aware that a lot of people probably aren't around right now (and belated happy turkey day to those who celebrated!).
This is where we'd like to give you all another plot update, but to be honest...not a lot has actually happened in the past few weeks since then, so we'll just refer you all to the last post for in depth summaries. Just as a refresher, the main threads that are flagged as highest priority before we can move forward are With the Face of a Ghost (recruiting Brennan & Elsa?) & Attack of the 4'5" Woman (recruiting Johann; G1), Champagne is... (recruiting Æolyn, Israa & Kyrio) & Where the Wild Things Are (recruiting Aedre; G2), and Group Three Arrives at the Forest (G3) (recruiting Arya, Galen & Valan).
Since I have the time today, I will be doing my part in participating by commenting to OOC plot posts where relevant and trying to figure out a way to move things forward with my own characters. If anyone has any questions, please feel free to ask.

Dear Anonymous,
Get the fuck out of our game. Step up, quit being shady, and just leave if you're so consistently unhappy with everyone else. The game doesn't revolve around YOU, as much as you'd like to think it so. Your commentary on anyone else's behavior in this game is unwanted and unneeded, especially when you should be checking your own if you feel so adamant about talking shit about other people.
I don't need your vitriol to poison a perfectly happy gaming environment. That said, if anyone has a problem with the way things are going or being run, come to us first. We are trying our hardest to keep things moving and people motivated. We greatly prefer discretion over making situations uglier than they absolutely have to be.
If I find out who you are, there are no second chances this time. I was being forgiving and patient last time, and I thought a very vital lesson had been learned, but you are going too far and you need to be stopped. You have NO RIGHT to be an asshole to anyone else in this game and ruin what everyone else has worked so hard on. This is a GAME. It should be fun, so stop sucking it out and go away, or just shut the hell up.
Thanks.
EDIT: And to everyone else, we implore you not to drop for the sake of one idiotic person's actions. We have so much planned and we love you. Haters gonna hate, and they can go fuck themselves with a rusty, jagged spoon. I know it's difficult to ignore this behavior, but if you're enjoying yourself and your own interactions with the people you DO like, please keep doing so. Don't feed the trolls, don't let the terrorists win. And if you do think this might be the final straw...PLEASE just PM us or comment us FIRST, because we are very, very tired of seeing strings of OOC posts coming out of nowhere and then having to scramble to fix a situation. This hurts US more than it hurts the anons out there.

"Hi Falina. Neglecting another game because you're 'busy' while creating a new one to mod makes you look like a shady flake. Stop pretending. Just drop, instead of stringing everyone along. At least don't use the same email for everything."
To anon:
If you had just asked, I would have told you that I reserved the asylum names after a Thanksgiving conversation with my sister, and wasn't planning on actually opening the game until February. I have a dropbox, and I have IM. In my year of being here, I've never been short of receptive to anyone who contacted me. It's not necessary to drop anon comments before you have any real information aside from the email address used for registration. Whoever you are, you aren't noble.
I am busy, and was legitimately injured. It's disheartening to see a place that I care about treat people like this again, after one horrible implosion. I'm a person, and should be treated with respect. I'm sorry to anyone who has felt slighted by my hiatus, or strung along, as that was not my intent. But I've never once acted shadily in regards to expanding my roleplaying life. The game in question was never going to be kept a secret, nor was it going to be active anytime soon. To say that I was creating it with duplicitous intent is not only offensive, but it is incredibly hurtful.
To Greywardens at large:
Officially, I am not going to be returning from my hiatus. Please feel free to do with my characters what you will.
I hate to do it, because I do have a lot of love left for this place, the stories that we still have to tell, and for the stories that we have already told. But this post has just completely hurt me, and I don't feel like I would even be able to return knowing that I would be playing with this person. I'm more upset than this person could ever know.
I wish all of you the best, and encourage any of you to contact me in the future. I have made some good friends here, and enjoyed my time here. I never wanted to leave this way, but unfortunately it's been made clear to me that it's my time to move on.
Thanks to the Mods for creating a game that started me on roleplaying, thanks to the friends who have helped me through the worst year of my life, and thanks to all of you for your support and love.
Love,
Jess
Edited to add: If someone would like to adopt Falina, I will gladly talk her through with anyone who wanted to take her on. She has some great established lines in the game, and has been a pleasure to play.
All of my characters can be adopted or NPCed. As far as I'm concerned, they belong to this game. I will gladly work with, or answer any questions for, anyone who wants to take any of them on, in whatever capacity they wish. Right now, I'm going to work with the mods to make my absence as seamless as possible, and work out what I can so this is more of a transitional phase, rather than a dead stop for my storylines. <3
