certainly the_split's words are impassioned. i do hope werewolf hasn't gotten so bad - although ever since i started playing back 2005, people have been saying that werewolf is ruined.
happy trails splitter.
happy trails splitter.
That seems a petty response.
Split's not completely wrong. Godspeed, Banana.
It's not entirely wrong, what he's saying. The things he complains about aren't entirely unlegitimate. We *do* give people a fair bit more leeway. As a group we are less effective at simply turning our backs on people who misbehave, which is why we have mods stepping in sometimes.
The trouble is, what he wants, a self-policing community that throws out people it deems too unworthy to play, simply isn't how this community works anymore. That way of running your community is a fair bit harsher, and back then the community was smaller. It's simply easier to make decisions like that if your playerbase is smaller and much more self-selective. Nowadays we are more inclusive, which means we get a few bad apples too, and have to find ways to living with them. Players like brovah, who regularly misses votes, misunderstands rules, and generally seems to be having a lot of trouble understanding the intracies of our games, would simply not have been tolerated back then. Ditto for abrasive self-effacing personalities like Dadarian. In both cases we nowadays try to educate the players and hope for the best. Whether that is the better strategy is unclear, but it's a fact that things have changed.
I missed A vote ONCE!
:rofl:If you read the first page now it just looks like we are being extremely sarcastic to Split
I don't regularly miss votes! I missed A vote ONCE!
Don't act like you know better, Rovsea :/.That seems a petty response.
