No it’s not totally reasonable to always have super happy events, but that’s making an extreme of what I’m trying to say. We still have players that don’t want their characters involved, and now they are whether they like that or not. That’d feel bad if the sides were flipped, too. Calling them names and pushing their concerns to the side isn’t helping them become interested in a bad-end plot, though. I’m asking for empathy to understand where they’re coming from and going from there, because we’ve all been there. This is important to have because it’s a social game.

So let’s say if Velvet and Machina did win and we did have some sort of dramatic, negative event. We’d have pretty much the same fallout: natives distrusting otherwolders, the responsible ones getting out of jail within a few weeks anyways whether or not they’re executed, and still the same group of players being unhappy with their characters being effected when they’d rather not. Then, we’d also have anons complaining about these same upset people or complaining the characters are taking some npc reactions too far.

Where does this put us? Some people unhappy with an event, and some others saying they’re ridiculous for being unhappy with it even if it’s just a matter of preference or opinion. If you want a successful event, try to make it fun for everyone and don’t push people away. Be inclusive.
