I can see how pages of banter can be intimidating; it took me a while to build up the courage to be in this group game because people. But if someone says 'hello', then they'll get one back... Its not really anyone's fault if people not feeling included hardly speak...<br/><br/>It came off as a bit hurtful also 'so you can continue doing whatever here', its really not what I meant... I'm just trying to come up with a solution that would make things better. Do you want us to not talk unless its game-relevant? If so, then that seems a little unfair...<br/><br/>I wasn't here when this all started, but scanning back I think things just kind of came from nowhere and people were shocked into knee-jerk reactions; I don't think anyone here is a bully, and everyone wants to have a nice time... But if a different OOC won't make you happy, do you have any other ideas?<br/></blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div><br/>You seem to be mixing me up with Ivi when you say "Do you want us to not talk unless its game-relevant?". From my point of view, you can talk all you want. Just don't be surprised if nobody outside your group of people reads the OOC anymore, because the number of posts is too much. From Ivi's point of view it's a reason to quit the game, and at least to me, that is reason for concern.<br/><br/>Aribeth is most likely more upset about the reaction she got when she voiced her concern than she is about the number of posts. The same goes for me.<br/><br/>I've been lurking, it would really be ridiculous to expect to be included in anything.  ;)  I haven't even made my presence known. I only stepped out of the shadow when I felt a woman is being bullied. Let me say it again: I don't think anyone here is a bully, but there was some bully-behaviour, and I pointed that out. In my personal experience, good and nice people can behave like a bully without intention, and that is all I am assuming.<br/><br/>I'd still like to know why being a Liege makes it any better though. That is my personal curiosity asking.
