Mm, I can see why pages of banter might be annoying if you're not feeling included, but if someone never posts a little hello to the rest of the group, how can they be? I don't think I've ever bullied anyone and I'm very sorry if it ever seemed I had.<br/>As for the who is on which ship, that's listed in the character profiles, isn't it? Failing that, wouldn't a click to said IC thread show it?<br/>And the 'boys vs girls' thing... Flam has a point; most people are Leiges. There's a ship for females because we thought it would be a fun idea, but there's a male character on there too. The one female character who has been posting in the most active thread (the port) has been doing nice back-and-forths with another player, so... That seems okay to me?<br/><br/>My main point though, is that to mention specific names while said person isn't here to defend themselves seems a bit... I'm not sure, but I have absolute confidence in both our GMs.<br/><br/>As an aside, I've been on a group RP only once before, and that had an OOC much like this one; everyone mingled, it was nice, and no one ever complained... I could point out a time where I've felt extremely isolated by the conversation here, but I won't mention names and I didn't complain to the board about it.<br/><br/>I think the idea for a plot-relevent thread is a good idea though; if people don't want to chat, that's fine but... I don't think anyone should complain to anyone else because of socialising...<br/><br/>So... Yeah. That's my input. Aside from anything else, we're meant to have fun, right? There doesn't need to be a bad atmosphere around, if people are feeling lost or not included that's not good, so we'll solve it.
