[COM] Hitting the nail on the head

mdseiranI know there are a few CoM staffers lurking (stalking?) ljs. I'm sure you've seen this already, but click anyway.
Please note the following parts:
We, as players, all know that if a significant number of players remain unhappy with the changes even after an adjustment period, it _will_ be changed again. Perhaps not to what it was before, but there _will_ be a compromise of sorts. I wonder, will the same happen for the Cities of M'Dhoria?
...
Prominent features and players are like a landmark, if you will. The rest of us may be low-profile, but we're used to seeing them there. I don't for a moment think that it is only those who have expressed their dissatisfaction, and made it clear that they were leaving who have left. How many of the quieter ones have gone too, without saying a word?
...
For me, the main thing that holds me to a game are the old familiar faces; the ones who befriended me when I was new, the ones who made my experience so enjoyable that I decided to stay, the ones who support and help me no matter what, and yes, the ones who make my life there "interesting" (difficult), so to speak. But every time I turn around, there is a face missing from the masses around me. New faces appear, but it is, for the most part, a crowd of strangers.
...
And this accuracy from a complete stranger who has never tried it. It's sad, isn't it?
That's all.
PS. Using only socials and says in RP that lasts for more than a few minutes isn't roleplaying really. A 5 year old could do that.
PSS. All that hugging and kissing and teapartying in the square you staff seem to do lately...there's a name for that you know. What was it again...? That word...it's on the tip of my tongue, really!
Oh yeah. I remember. Pokemonish RP.

And: I am very disappointed in Kelvyn.

Date: 2005-07-10 12:13 am (UTC)Heh, I'm very disappointed in all of them, especially those I liked and who condone what's happening now, but oh well, not that they care what we think. ^^

Date: 2005-07-10 12:28 am (UTC)I used to think Kelvyn of being really cool and all, but now he sounds like a copy of a copy of the staff I don't like. :(

Date: 2005-07-10 03:27 pm (UTC)All the right point... then again, I don't ever want to see CoM /ever/, so I wouldn't know the info firsthand... but then /again/, hello?! Sativa smooching Elly?!
Hell, Yasi couldn't kill johgo kiddies without getting her alignment points docked for them, who the hell is docking Sativa for acting OOC?
And Gravy too: "Oh I don't have to explain Gravy's actions OOC because it's all IC anyway.", meaning: "So I can act as OOC as I like and it's IC anyway because I don't have to explain myself since I'm the big bad grand immy-ho and I make the rules but I don't havta follow them."
XDDDDD

No no no, staff don't need to explain themselves. They're above the law, obviously. *sagenod* Only us mere mortals have to stick to IC, OOC, and ICA=ICC and all that.
Ah well
Date: 2005-07-20 09:34 pm (UTC)-Nuff Said.
Re: Ah well
Date: 2005-07-20 09:42 pm (UTC)We all wanted the best for CoM, heh. People just didn't see that I guess. ^^ So yeah, hopefully the way it used to be will remain safely somewhere, buried but easily dug up when the time comes...
...or something. :3
