I’m extremely torn.  Personally, I thought the little event yesterday was a success.  A lot of people came out, some very crucial decisions have been made ICly, and it seemed like a lot of fun was had by those who were there.  (A huge thanks to those of you who got up hours early or stayed up hours late just to be able to attend!)  Feedback was, for the most part, positive.  However, it seems a few of you are insisting on stirring up trouble with those of us who are enjoying the game.

Why?  What do you get out of ruining everyone else’s fun by snide comments in your titles, by bitchy tells, or refusing to log in until an event ‘you hate’ is over entirely?    If you don’t want to log in, fine.  Don’t log in. But don’t you dare start trying to stir up the rest of the players who are having fun through OOCly ruining their efforts or ours. I’m soft.  Yes.  I love the pbase and would do just about anything for y’all, including staying up WAY past my bedtime on a regular basis to ensure that the game runs smoothly, but here’s your warning:  If you deliberately cause strife and attempt to ruin things OOCly for other people, you won’t be playing for long.

We all know that the actions we take ICly have an effect on our characters.  Sometimes we don’t like the results… but everything that’s being done in these plots is building up to something big, something potentially fantastic for everyone.  We know what we’re doing.  We work hard to keep you on your toes.  Would you truly rather go back to sitting in taverns day in, day out, with nothing to do but gossip and bitch at each other?

That said, thanks again to all of you who came out last night and had fun.  I did too.

Another mini-event this weekend.  Let me know the best days/times for you all.
