@Tiur was there a rule change saying that we can't shout that no one knows about? Are we not allowed to generate our own PK ICly? Nothing about what happened came anywhere near close to breaking any rule I have ever heard of, but it was stifled by your staff regardless.
No offense to the volunteer, but it seemed pointless.
Edit: Cus let's be real, otherwise it'd just have been 'nothing to see here, someone got zapped'.
Hello friends!
I apologize for getting involved, after shouting - in a way that has generally felt fluid on Tanixalthas - to join in. As a result, after getting to interact with a couple of people due to the shouts, even after I wasn't fully visible on Tanixalthas to all of you on the WHO list, I thought I had added to the overall enjoyment of the game. That has only ever been, and still remains, my sole goal as the staff member behind two of our Gods. I am only just returning to RP capacity after working on something behind the scenes, so it seemed like a good place to jump in.
My judgment was misplaced so, again, I am sorry I ruined your fun, but I appreciate those who engaged with me afterwards also. Thank you.
Tiur has a history of lying (to me, at least) and you have a history of playing damage control for him. I truly do not want to be the person I am right now with how upset I am over everything that seems to happen lately, but I'm at the point where I need proof that anything like this happened at all.
If they would like to join in themselves, they are welcome. Otherwise, the question of 'who' will have to go unanswered, I'm sorry.
However, as for ghosting, unfortunately I'm at work, so I simply removed myself from the WHO list so as to not unintentionally ignore any NEW enquiries but continued to interact with those not-mentioned-by-name who reached out to continue what stemmed from my interruption.
I know that doesn't really help you, but I wanted to explain why I won't name-names. It isn't my place in this situation - the limelight is on my actions and your disappointment in them, not theirs.
Personally, I thought the stun wasn't necessary but the fact that Gods come on to yell "SILENCE" or further add to whatever is being shouted in order to get it to stop is nice.
I'd esteem any Celeni that makes the effort to come out and join the RP. People complain that they don't get enough interaction and when it's given people complain that it isn't the kind they want.
Seriously?
The criticism was taken and an apology was made, so I'm unsure what your further instigation is adding here. We're not going to break our internal policies and name people. That might sound convenient to you right now, but it's a policy there to protect players and has honestly historically bitten us more than it has convenienced us.
I mean it's cool some people got to drink lemonade, but the issue is less about the RP we were given and more about an ongoing feeling like conflict and interesting, organic, player initiated RP is being neutered.
I am sorry for directing my anger and frustration at you. My playtime in Aetolia under Tiur's management has been the least enjoyable of all the producers I have played under. He has lied to me and he has lied to my friends, and he is condescendingly dismissive with every issue I have witnessed being brought up to him from my friends. Tonight my frustration reached another level and I lashed out at you. For that I apologize. I will try to do better.
I'm peeved that the general level of integrity from a lot of players in this game is lower than what I would find in a cheap run down strip club.
I pride myself on having a very thick skin. This means I could sit down and have a beer and laugh with someone regardless of race, creed, color, or any disagreements I may have with how they live their life really so long as that person is willing to treat me with the same respect.
Aetolia would be a better place if everyone would just have nice thick troll skin.
It is not, and that is just so disappointing. But, it makes me appreciate the song a lot more.
edit: re: Zaila/Kalinaar
Honestly, this is a huge pet peeve of mine. It's taking advantage of mechanical loopholes to avoid consequences and simultaneously benefit.
E:
An attentive Celani explained it in small words with pauses for me to nod. We're kinda of two minds on it, but it can go in the stack for brainstorming a solution. My first thought is that you should just make it illegal.
It doesn't drain your city of funds, but doesn't answer your primary concern.
(Illuminai): Saltz says, "Moxie is just doing the Moxie thing to do, often misinterpreted."
(Tells): Sir Iames Gallant, the Executioner tells you, "The one Illuminai beyond prayer, I swear."
Valingar: "How could a daughter of me, the most noble man in the south, be so heartless?"
(Tells): Haven Locke, Illuminai Khimaira tells you, "Be that as it may, I've also seen the strength in you. You can take care of yourself."
We tend to prefer to allow corruption, then leave players to fix it. It's one thing to disable the ability to rob a city blind and ruin the game for everyone, and another to allow small stuff like a corrupt leader RP.
To re-bounty me is one thing, but to complain and then bounty Giliand for following through on a deal agreed upon? Just saying, maybe people who live in glass houses shouldn't throw stones.
