OT/NRPG(Off Topic/Non Role Playing Game) -
Now, take care there, Stewie! Your walking into flame-bait
territory here. Tara And Alota are newbies, just as you were earlier
to BD. Their likely going to step on a few peoples toes just like you
stepped on few around here. We should give them time to adjust. I'm
sure they'll start churning out quality in character game posts if we
give them thier bit of time.
I'm not saying your criticism isn't valid. But, I do wish to point
out to you that Tara and Alota could just as easily apply your gripe
you make about their posts to your 'store advertisment' posts too.
And I quite sure every player has one gripe or another about other
players posting styles around here. And No, I don't think everyone of
them should be aired publicly like dirty laundry, Either! The intent
the rpg should be for everyone to have fun.
I've noticed we recently lost a few newbies. Perhaps, because they
didn't know how to fit in, or perhaps it was because we lack a decent
tutorial. I don't know the reasons, myself. But, I certainly don't
want anyone here to feel they were drove out, because they felt
someone was antagonizing them.
That's why it's time to take a moment to highlight this suggestion
up right now, which I hope, may be a possible solution for the sticky
situation we gotten into here.
Back in the 'old' days when I used to run my own BBS(Bulletin
Board System). (This was before the internet was a mainstream thing,
in the mid '80s). I used to host each of my several RPG's with a
another message group that was specifically devoted to the RPG's
discussion and chatter. Hence, for my TFT World of Cendri RPG, I had
a message group for 'World Of Cendri' where strictly RPG posts were
made and another for 'World of Cendri - Discussion' where all
the 'player to gamemaster' questions about the game were aired, and
general natter of player to player disussion of things related to the
game was posted. I think we could easily do the same for the Blue
Dwarf RPG, And it should satisfy both crowds of people! What does
everybody think?
Oh, and remember, all this is just in my humble opinion(IMHO), I'm
not speaking as a moderator, superior or anything like that.
