What needs to change?
Posted: 16 Aug 2009, 19:21
Hello.
A lot of players have gotten involved in the forum "Dyna, Dimond and (~_~#) got banned"
This is truly a flame war. One person saying this, the other saying your wrong, going on and on like a figure eight.
Well we can't agree on everything and make everyone happy sadly.
A little after the "revolution" I got all excited again and dropped items too in town. Though nobody seemed to notice in the uproar, so I thought I might as well put that in.
The player named "TheDarkFinder" I think was trying to help break up this flame war. If I'm wrong please correct me TheDarkFinder.
I didn't like being called a "5 year old", but after I thought about it you were sorta right about that. In my opinion I think other players could take a few deep breaths and calm down if they were called a 5 year old instead of flaming at TheDarkFinder. Oh, and if I didn't read the forum carefully and a GM flamed at TheDarkFinder about being called a 3 year old please do not post something like "but the GM flamed at him! It's not my fault!".
TheDarkFinder pointed out to me about what it was that needed to change. I haven't really thought about that. It was at the point where everyone was all riled up and never really stopped and thought "wait a minute... what is it that needs to change?". All I saw on the forums was countless posts from both players and GMs that were basically saying "Your wrong, I'm right. So your the one who should just accept that.". I can't say I'm innocent since I did participate in this. I'm glad TheDarkFinder pointed that out to me. So my thanks goes to him.
Now stop and think about what you think needs to change before you post. You can even PM me or email me. (dimondd.stone@gmail.com)
There will be NO flaming on this forum, meaning something like this:
Player: "Del THREATENED me! What kind of GM is that? I think we need less GMs because of that."
GM: "Yes your right, but I was doing that because you were causing lag for others, therefore you must be banned."
Player: "You are a disgrace of the GM cap! We were doing nothing but sitting and chatting."
ect...
There will be none of that okay? If you are going to post your "What needs to change?" comment or complaint please do it something like this:
Player: "My complaint is that I was banned, but I'm not quite sure what I did wrong."
GM: "You were causing lag."
Player: "But I was sitting and chatting, though I also egged other players and called names... Is that the reason I was banned?
GM: "Hmmm.."
Player: "If that is so then my complain is that I'm not sure why I was banned by a GM and demand to know why. Does egging and calling names is player abuse? Or was I banned because I angered the GMs? I'm confused and so I would like some explanation."
ect...
These are just examples and would like for players and GMs to keep in mind "Is there something that really needs to change?". Because it could be confusion and that you would like an explanation is all.
Lag
I also agree on TheDarkFinder on this. Asking everyone if they were having lag isn't the best way. Players who have just come into the area may have lag, and it might not only affect that map but other maps too. (correct me if I'm wrong) Though we are allowed to do it out of town. The woodland village is not the only place. They are many other towns and other map.
Though I'm sorta confused about if just sitting down and dropping items in the woodland village is banned too? Without moving, just sitting or standing when dropping items.
Well not everyone can agree to what I just said. Can you post in a calm manor of why you did not agree? Please do so and thanks. =)
1.) Post comment, complaint, or what rule you think needs to change and why.
2.) A poll will be formed about whether or not you think that a rule should stay. Just to see what the players think of it.
3.) No flaming please.
Thank you for reading this very very very long thread, but I hope it can help.
