(larp) The source of OWbN politics/drama in a nutshell

[keyboardninja]

Everyone thinks that they're better than someone else, and that said other person/people are what's wrong with the Org.

This dynamic exists within a single chronicle, so multiply that by 100 chronicles and you get the OWbN drama machine.

Ahem. IC I believe I'm better than almost everyone else. OOC it's generally when there is Sabbat wankery happening, I'm still learning Cam crap.

Thats always been my thing. Problems arise when one group of people think they're better than another group of people, and that their shit doesnt stink.

[forsaken_artist]

Agreed. No one is squeaky clean of this, and everyone ain't perfect. People that think they are are full of it.

I often estimate that there are four factions of "I know best" within any given chronicle, and there are ~100 chronicles in the Org...

If you apply the South Park Principle to this, at least 25% of the human population is retarded -- which makes for an interesting analysis of those 4 groups per chronicle. :P

actually i met someone who had an interest in OWBN politics for all the right reasons. I was very impressed by them, and refreshed. It was good to see

One could definitely write a sociological or political paper on OWbN for a Masters or Doctoral paper.

Its been done, though none of the people that I've known who've done it are people that I would want to write about us.

It's not really necessary. All the dynamics you can explore have been well-explored in other studies of group dynamics. We don't have very much significant to add, only a different context.

I am better than someone else. A lot of someones, to my eye.

But the people I'm better than ain't what's wrong with the org, last I checked. Seems there is a lot of "There's my way and any other way is wrong" going on...
