What happened to Shifted Lands?

Sep 29, 2008 10:25

Let me preface this by stating that I am posting all this because I care about the game I created. I am not bitching--I am trying to figure out how it can be saved from the direction it is headed. I have every right to be concerned about why I feel it is headed south (and I dont mean Florida). This is MY LJ and its about the game I created. If ( Read more... )

-I agree. I understand having a new wyrm be "clear" for a few months while Plot figures out what color to make them, especially those characters we see very rarely for one reason or another. That makes perfect sense, up to a point. However, there is at least 1 PC who has been a wyrm for over a year, is at nearly every event in MI and IN, and still doesn't have a color...? That's getting a little ridiculous now.

-I agree here too, we have PCs with new skills that are still not in the rulebook... not even in the database for them to look up on their online character viewer! While I understand that these things are supposed to be rare, Shawn made an excellent point that we know more about Ascetics and Filchards than the new skills. "Tracking," "Mentor," and "Prestige Classes" need to hurry up and be brought out. If the rules aren't completed yet, PCs shouldn't be learning them yet!

Ok, you can say thats what you meant and thats fine. Here's the deal. How the hell are you helping by saying something like info hoarding douche bags?!! And don't be so suprised that I would be upset about it. Its very well known in and out of game that people think the people in charge sit around and pet there precious info and laugh at the lesser PC's. So why don't you go ahead, stop putting people down and be fucking productive.

I assumed you'd read something in its entirety before jumping to conclusions. I thought I was making myself very clear with this statement:
"#3
-You're right, Plot is not drawing people in. Plot sends out hooks and leads often as a single farmer/local resident/traveler passing through/some other no-name person who thought we might like to know something, that person stops and talks to the first PC they see, they tell them the plot tid-bit, and they leave. The PC who gets the juicy news either keeps it entirely to themselves, or they tell a select few of their friends and people "they think ought to know," and that's that. We all know, OOG, that Plot IS sending out info and hooks and leads and mod info all the time."

Apparently not.

You still said info hoarding douche bags!!! You're still not helping. I'm sorry. No one appreciates that kind of activity. And stop pretending that you are only talking about turnip plots. Its very noticeable in the way you've posted this that you are not only talking about those plots. My main anger is still the fact that you decided it was appropriate to take it to the next level and say some dumb ass shit like douche bags. So stop trying to direct the eyes elsewhere.

Would you have preferred a more flavorful or colorful term? I was making a statement about an anonymous random person/people. Your cussing was directed towards me specifically.
So who's not helping?

Was your comment directed at someone who plays Shiftedlands?......YES!!!! I don't care if you were calling me, Ted, Dukes, Higley, Dunigan, Kelly who cares!!? My point is that you are being unproductive in a situation that is meant to be productive. And don't try to turn this around on me. I'm talking to you. You messed up. It was a crap bag move. Just accept it.

The comment wasn't about any PLAYERS at all. The comment was about CHARACTERS.

The character is still played by a player. And not to mention that you said PC doesn't make it super clear that its not a player. And before you bust out the dictionary o' dork I have often and others have as well, said things like "Steve is a PC" "Bob is a PC" So stop that right there. And also, why didn't you bring this up til now? Its done.

You're right, anyone who plays a PC can, and often is, referred to as a "PC."
I thought my meaning was implied based on the rest of the statement, especially with regards to PC/NPC interaction, which is why I am mildly frustrated that you're arguing so vehemently about something that does not involve any real people, anonymous or friend.
If you mean "Why didn't I say I was talking about Characters and not Players until now?" that is the answer. I didn't realize the clarification needed to be made for you.
Perhaps I could have been more clear that I was expressing my OOG feelings about IG things, but I assumed the talk of interaction between "Random NPC and Random PC" would make my meaning apparent. I apologize for the misunderstanding, in that case.

I can just see it now... Logan with that funny-evil-ish kinda grins on his face, stroking a pile of papers in his arms as if it were MadCat.

Thanks for the image, I'll be giggling about it all day!

Jim,

You are an info-hording douchebag. And a racist in and out of game.

Can we move on now and play nice please?
