man posting to ac on time sure is hard

worst mods ever

Re: +1

[(Anonymous)]

but seriously why do people think the mods are scrambling

the red team plot was planned a month in advance and the mods decided pass or fail. this is all their initiative.

Re: +1

[(Anonymous)]

the problem isn't the red team mission, it's the aftermath

the poisoning is a player plot, I doubt that was planned far in advance

Re: +1

[(Anonymous)]

I don't understand why the red team failures are getting ANOTHER punishment. It just seems excessive and if my character had failed, I would have been discouraged with how much angst and shit I'd have to put them through. Consequences are fine, but they'd already been given their punishments.

Dagger-mod admitted that this was a last minute change to the plot they had been planning to explain the dropped characters' disappearances. They wanted to integrate it into jack's player plot.

I honestly don't think it's fair that people got pushed into their plot when they had an ooc post up asking for volunteers. People who wanted to be involved commented there, and people who didn't suddenly got pushed into it without any say.

Re: +1

actually they can opt out of poisoning. all it means is being barred from a later plot from the sounds of it

Re: +1

[(Anonymous)]

I just addressed this in the comment below. Calendar mentions that there will be consequences for opting out of the plot, though we aren't sure what those consequences are.

Re: +1

[(Anonymous)]

And before anyone says that no one's pushing anyone: on the calendar, it mentions that anyone opting out of the poison plot will be facing consequences. So you're stuck between a hard place and a rock and there doesn't seem to be much room for compromise.

Dagger mod mentioned to a player asking that they couldn't get involved in a later plot, that may be all it is

Re: +1

[(Anonymous)]

That's an assumption. Like I said, we don't know what the consequences are for sure. We're left in the dark and it doesn't seem smart to opt out when your character could potentially face yet another punishment because you didn't feel like playing out one so soon after the first punishment.

Consequences are fine. It's just the communication factor that needs to be worked on. We could play this all by ear, but that's not how I like to rp, personally.

Re: +1

[(Anonymous)]

that's an assumption but you're doing the same thing and taking it to an extreme

chill out.

Re: +1

[(Anonymous)]

This game and their ass kissing. The mods are FINE. The problem here is that they failed to elaborate what said consequences are.

Re: +1

[(Anonymous)]

didn't they say all opting out meant is that they can't participate in a future plot?

Re: +1

[(Anonymous)]

Soooo when you see the word "consequence" what do you think of?

Re: +1

[(Anonymous)]

lol at all this bitching

i'd seriously kill for the attention red team has gotten. your npc is by far the most active and engaged, you've gotten the most chances to get involved out of any of the other teams, and you're still crying about it? really?

fuck, give me all the consequences you don't want and i'll take them. if you can't figure out how to spin the punishment in such a way that encourages character development, into you know actually following directions like you're supposed to thus avoiding all this, then that sounds like a big you problem, not a mod problem.

Sorry I have a life and with the amount of work red had to do this month (that I'm still working on), I really would have appreciated a heads up before I added onto my pile.

This isn't about me not wanting consequences, it's about consideration for players oocly. As players we do it for each other, and mods aren't exempted because they're mods. They're busy sure, but if they're involved in the plot ICly, then I think it's fair to have the same expectations I'd have for other players.

Re: +1

wow, involvement in special plots and a plethora of npc/pc interaction opportunities. what awful work, i know

sorry i had a life is the dumbest cop-out excuse ever in any context so i fail to see how this reinforces your point, other than you being a huge baby because oh no i promise i'm not butthurt over consequences due to personal failures it's just ~consideration~ i swear

go make a case with the mods if you're that concerned about it. if it's SO pressing that you not have something happen to your character, or you didn't want plot involvement, you could've at least discussed it. if it wasn't, again i don't even know what you're bitching over. team-based game, you failed the team, you accept the consequences. that's how it goes.

Re: +1

I'm still trying to wrap up threads from the previous plots. I can't dedicate ALL my free time to rping when I have other stuff I want to get done. I did make my case to the mods and have gone to them personally but I was adding my two cents in this discussion ABOUT what went wrong with this plot. People are bitching from both sides and I picked mine.

I hope hope orange green and blue get their special plots so their players can stop being butthurt crybabies about not getting attention. I'm so tired of people vying for npc attention, it's pathetic.

Re: +1

[(Anonymous)]

so is baiting those same people by being from the most favored team and crying about TOO MUCH PLOT, did you really not see how that might be aggravating?

agree or disagree you're still part of the problem there chief. so yeah, you can call me butthurt if you want, but i'd gladly take all that extra plot you don't seem to care for and i'm sure others would too. at least acknowledge the entitlement on both ends.

Re: +1

[(Anonymous)]

the entire calendar this month is exactly what you're asking the mods do and you're still whining

the mods literally gave red team exactly one and a half things to do this month and you're still complaining

idgi

hey you

the grass is always greener, isn't it?

Re: +1

As a red I've been feeling a bit overwhelmed too. People on teams who aren't doing anything are feeling antsy while people on teams that are getting slammed in the face with plot after plot feel exhausted. Both sides are fair. Hopefully after each team gets their moment of glory, plots will be spaced out and missions won't be team specific (mixing it up would be nice, like the green and orange mission!).

People who cry about not getting speshul plots vs people who cry about getting too many speshul plots.

Give the speshul plots to people crying about now getting any. Problem solved. Red has been getting an unfair amount of action since the game began, I'm just grateful that green and orange are taking over because I'm tired of the bitching on anon comms.
