ALRIGHT! I'm back from my naval exercises and as always I find my hands full at the get-go. Let's see what we can do about this.<br/><br/>Long story short: If any of the active players have a problem with Kayla posting here from time to time, then I have to sadly put you on a hold. This is an OOC for the active players of the game after all. However, I will not be put in a situation of picking favorites. If you force me to start choosing between people I will have no part of it. As of the moment I prioritize the active players. If you have any problems I suggest you resolve this matter over PM, because I am the GM, not the police.<br/><br/>I know you wanted Elisa out and I was not clear with your wishes, to which end I apologize. However you must understand that it can be hard for people to just backtrack and sweep the prints away before going forward again. In these sort of situations when a player leaves mid-game I tend to try to find some sort of narrative choices to smooth this out (i.e. Yamina and Hiro being stomped out doesn't necessarily mean they are all dead. If vin and Bran ever comes back you can bet your asses there is a rescue mission to be had there.). If that is not really applicable like in this case I just ignore the fact. As you said, Elisa dropped out before the mission according to your wishes, so I ignored the fact that she was ever there (made particularly easy since she had not been active in the mission). How I have failed to register that there was a problem brewing until just recently is a mystery to me. Either my eyes are failing or I was so busy ignoring Elisa it never even registered. A lesson learned on my part.<br/><br/>For me this is a none-issue. I have no problems with Kayla writing in the OOC, but since my players does, I'll have to enforce that. I have no problem with Elisa having dropped out, but since my players does, I have to enforce that as well. I think the main problem here is communications. If Kayla repeatedly express concerns about this matter with her character, I have no clue why you would ignore that concern. If you have voiced concerns with her being on the OOC, then I have no clue why you all have to wait for me to be done playing war in real life to clear things up. If you listen to each other and acted accordingly, there would be no problem. Equally if I read the OOC-posts a bit more thoroughly from now on I might be able to see this coming the next time around.<br/><br/>In summary: Sorry Kayla, but I'll have to restrict you from the OOC. And to everyone, please use the PMs more, I'd love to sort these sort of things out through there. Just address me and whoever you have quarrels with and we'll have a private discussion between the three of us.<br/><br/>Anything else we need to air out while we are at it? Otherwise I'm about done with the Salvage-list and payroll if anyone gives a crap.
