was it over the summer? the game was weirdly dead in the water from like may up until recently so that might've had something to do with it.

fwiw i think people are raving about the caedra thing because everyone wants their character to be the hero. i remember back when caedra first joined and did the big player plot, it got mobbed by the tolkein elves and some other people and it turned into a huge pissing contest. so yeah, the caedra stuff gets popular, but 90% of what people end up doing with it is boring and circlejerky.

still sucks tho, anon. i feel your pain.

Actually it happened a little before summer, so I don't know what the deal is, but I did notice the game got really slow and quiet for a while after the setting change.

You're probably right and that's what I find frustrating about when those kinds of characters try to do villain things, because it DOES tend to dissolve into pissing contests between players over who gets to take out the Big Bad, but it doesn't really work out when the villain is a player character and thus harder to write around without making them unplayable. I know there are characters who would want to take action but the fact that it's not an NPC, you can't just vanquish them and be done for a few months. I've been trying to have my characters ignore the entire plot but when people keep making posts about it, it gets harder to justify.

i've been having a hard time avoiding that stuff as well and only just started looking into this bs for the express sake of echoing other players' sentiments

we have a ton of characters in game who constantly want to self-sacrifice for crap like this when it's completely unnecessary

this is stupid, we all know it, can we stop jockeying for whoever gets to be The Big Damn Hero and collaborate more effectively?

It makes me glad that I play a character who isn't the hero type at all, since at least I can add something different to the pot besides all the do-gooders who are frothing at the mouth to take her out or whatever they seem to be plotting.

I don't play do-gooder types but it does get frustrating when my CR gets involved and I have to figure out reasons why my character isn't backing them or w/e. The problem with those wanting to "take her out" is like whats mentioned above, because she's a player character she is protected by a certain level of plot armor that prevents other characters from reacting appropriately without making anyone unplayable, so I'd rather just stay out of it. Makes it hard when so many treats the character like she's a big deal that warrants multiple posts.

i do play a do-gooder type but with so many people leaping on this, i'd rather keep my do-gooder closer to the sidelines than get them directly involved. I don't feel like hopping into the middle of a bigass clusterfuck, and that seems to be what this is turning into.
