@Alexina - I think the criticism given has been more talking points of how things operate, I do not believe anyone has said anything negative, in fact I think we have given reasoning or perception. You are trending on this line of playing the devils advocate and sealing your letters with a sugar coated kiss, which for all intents and purposes may be the kindest way to not necessarily find a solution to a problem by means of running around in circles over actual evidence that has been presented.
The problem is and this has been generally justified in an IC venue where many have been made very aware of the Dominion and the Primus intents including the edicts which are supposed to be followed by -all- of the Dominion. Be it that people want to follow them or not that is of their own choice and roleplay, this is not the remarks of someone being sour towards the vampire community this is from a former vampire who left the Dominion when the Dominion changed from the Imperium. The people who stayed are claiming to uphold these edicts and pay respects and homage to their great leader to the effect of houses gaining emperors/empresses etcetera. Nevertheless the trend coming from Nebre'seir is to declare these grandiose events in the name of the Primus without confirming with him firsthand, the first event the Gaes event was started by Riluo inciting a rebellion in the Vampires, to which he was pubicly chastised by Abhorash - Vampires and Non Vampires publicly were present for this.
It is perfectly within roleplay for Abhorash to have a sour attitude, so my constructive criticism for the day so that I may also oblige by the rules of the forums and not offend anyone personally is to ask kindly and politely for the Consanguine community to suppress their mouths in lieu for their ears once in a while because Abhorash has been very clear and I think it would be most beneficial and prudent that when things do not go favorably to the way people want it, it is because an Admin or other like minded sort is doing their best to cooperate with a situation and steer it in the right direction.
So while being Constructive and kind may be the bees knees, this was made an OOC rant from an IC standpoint which should be handled in game and the subject matter at hand has been given many IC opportunities from what can be seen by everyone save for the Vampire community who is so wrapped up in their own agenda they are not able to.
I hope this was kind and friendly enough, being honest sometimes stings...but thats my perception and I think its pretty on point.
Nobody is ganging up on anyone - Riluo is certainly one of the more respected active members of Bloodloch, in my mind anyway. That said, if you come to the forums with bits and pieces of a story and people draw a conclusion from it, chances are it's your fault for a) coming to the forums with an IC issue and b) not presenting the entire tale anyway.
Regardless, this is a public forum and opinions are ours to give and not yours to forbid. Sorry. Player to player moderation never works. I don't see anything in the above posts that would come anywhere close to trolling, but I suppose everyone has their own levels of sensitivity.
Alright, here's the deal. There's a bunch of you in this thread that aren't in the Dominion, acting like you know what goes on in the Dominion. Ganging up on @Riluo for being frustrated is not something I think any of you should be doing, and is rather lame and misinformed.
Abhorash has a history of telling us one thing, then when we do it, he derides us for it like in the aforementioned post. It is very annoying, frustrating, and antithesis to any sort of progress in the Dominion. Though, like has been mentioned before in this thread, there really isn't anything we can do about it. You can all sit there, outside of the Dominion, and claim that we can by RP, but trust me, it's just not possible.
So please, quit trying to have an opinion on an organization you are not a part of, particularly when it is trying to troll someone who is a Council member of it and knows way better than you do how the interactions with Abhorash go.
I don't really understand the concern here. It looks like Riluo tried to puff up a bit and Abhorash basically said, "Sit down, pup. You are not the boss."
I would not expect the king of vampires to be cheerful about that kind of reprimand. Are you upset about Abhorash being played inconsistently, or are you upset that you got your hand smacked a bit?
