If that were the case, this wouldn't be the game for me. Sometimes a game doesn't suit the style of game you want to play. That's not a tragedy, and all games should not be forced to be all things to all players.
In this case, it's not credibility that it lends to this argument - it's hilarity. And I outed myself a long time ago. But feel free to hit me up on AIM if it bothers you; we haven't talked in a while!

So... any kind of solution that takes the power of IC resolution away from the players and puts it in the hands of the administration is a bad solution....
And therefore, to solve this problem, we should take the power of IC res…

Never said "emote at them." You should probably emote at the people who are waiting to help you improve your gaming experience - namely, the gods. Incidentally, those same people have many times said that complaining on the forums is the…
If you want RP surrounding something mechanical... you RP. If your idea is good enough, and works with what the admin are doing, it often happens. Especially when they're watching you, waiting for you to do something useful.
It's... not a realistic solution to RP out any one of a thousand thematic fixes that are initiated by player ideas and depend in some small fashion on the help of the divine who is sitting there sighing at you wishing you'd do exactly that?
I think that's a great idea, and the best part about it - not being sarcastic here - is that it makes it possible for people to get through the interview without necessarily having read the books. Because that's a legitimate RP path, I think - bein…

I love this thing where people keep going in a loop like the bird in Mariena's signature, saying, "We can't just IGNORE it! But there's nothing else for us to do!"

You could do all kinds of things. I just listed three. Want me to go on?…
The thing that sucks about having internet-friends is that if something horrible happened to them, there's a good chance you'd never know. They'd just stop talking to you, and that would be it. And at the beginning, it would look just like today.
Interaction is incredibly hard, apparently. People would much rather enemy you on first contact and try to kill you without exchanging a single word. It's unfortunate - I was under the mistaken impression that Aetolia was a lot more open-minded th…

And exactly how much does this "official" standpoint have to do with Chris Bourassa's cockeyed "official Iron Realms art" that looks like what would happen if someone explained Kelki to him in three words and he ignored them completely?
Okay, I'mma take a swing at this, because I think @Moirean's right. What she's trying to say that people keep ignoring is that it's entirely possible to …
Seriously, guys. Stephen King has written 1000+ page novels without using the kind of purple prose you put into your descriptions. Simplify, simplify. You don't need to beat someone to dea…
