suspected insanity

Jun 09, 2009 16:13

Okay - is it me or is it weird to try to fix a club that you don’t attend, haven’t attended for a while, and the only indication that there is a problem in the first place seems to come from someone else who does not attend, hasn’t attended for a while and would probably moan that the mana from heaven got sand on it anyway.

Or am I going mad?

Ste has always been a bit of a moaner, but some of you guys aren't helping by putting posts on there that are pretty close to being rude and dismissive.

There's nothing wrong with a bit of discussion, and even a bit of moaning.

Besides, I agree with a lot of what he says and I still regularly attend. It's just that I'm willing to go with majority rule because that's what a committee based club is about.

Fair point - I am probably taking it a bit personally due to the amount of effort put in recently, which is totally my bad. Also the issues being raised carry a lot more weight coming from you who has been at the club to see how it is / isn’t working, rather than second hand comments.
I guess it’s just a bit of a downer to have ran what to my mind was the first really good Wilderness event in a while to then hit a load of criticism from people who weren’t there. Totally willing to concede that I might be being overly touchy.

I reckon you have to seperate the criticism of the rules mechanics (which does exist and is what the thread is about) from the criticism of how the last event ran (which doesn't exist and is all in your head).

We're never going to get to a state where everyone agrees on game mechanics, not whilst people like me, Bu and Chris still believe in fast progression, powerful items and high death rates. We just have to try to talk about it on the boards without feeling personally attacked.

Go re-read the "great event" thread on the board. Get some perspective ;)

I've probably been in the "rude and dismissive" faction. Wrong of me, but it really did feel like a kick in the teeth when I was so knackered after campaigns doing all the monstering (not to mention supplying props etc) for an event that was very hard work, on a site I've hated for years that makes me nastily aware of just how far from healthy and able I actually am. It was fantastic that our effort paid off and the players had fun - but that only lasted for one evening before the complaining took over the noticeboard ( ... )

I know what you mean - I know that there was no criticism of the event directly, but it was that I came off it on quite a high that the work we had put in had been worthwhile and everyone there enjoyed it as it was something new and different (and so could have gone horribly wrong) and we had made better use of the site etc. etc. So It just felt that all this good feeling was then hit with the big wet fish of moan ( ... )
