It has come to my attention by way of three e-mails and one thread message that some of this forum’s host is having difficulty playing with one another. Let’s examine what is going on.

Everybody likes to win, and likes to create strong characters to play with. The problem is that nobody wants to be on the losing side, and so if a battle between clans is created…how will a winner be determined? There is not a way, if both parties can find a way to power-game and not allow any losses. Why then, continue to play?

Okay, what games do we have running that are successful, in which everybody is enjoying the action and no hard feelings between members exist? What makes those games successful? Do I have to point it out?
I doubt it, since everyone in here knows what I am talking about.

If you are RPG’ing with a person that does not want to follow the rules established by the clan leader or the game master, kindly ask this person in a PM, e-mail, or OOC message to play by the rules. If that person does not oblige, the game master or clan leader can decide that person’s fate in future gaming and clan activity. If that person is not a member of your society, but seems to be “spamming” your threads, or chasing you into every thread that exists, telling you that you are gonna die because his clan is the best or something…LET ME KNOW. I believe that once you “kindly” ask a person to take a chill-pill and they do not, yet continue to harass you…that is worth notifying Cloudy or me. We will ask that person to reconsider their obnoxious behavior.

Please…enjoy this forum. We are here to be creative and relax and write stories. Have fun and do not get easily offended if another player has an idea for playing that does not match your own. You are free to make another game, or close a game to any outsiders that you wish. Remember, post (closed) or (Open) if you wanna make sure that nobody screws up your private gaming experience.

Thank you for taking the time to read that.
