Ok, this looks like 'once again', things have gotten
way out of hand...
Mesha, firstly, to state that what has evolved from this quest is "
sheer hatred", is really taking things way out of context... Don't you think? I mean come on....
Hatred? I know taking flack from players must be stressful, but it wouldn't be wise to continue down the road of what ~may~ look like the portaying of OOC manipulation to influence everyones IC oppinion of the prince and is rule... I don't quite think thats what is needed, we (atleast most of us) are not kindergarden children. Everyone just try to grasp reality for a minute and calm down. The problem here is that everyone is just jumping to half assed conclusions of what will happen next. To that, my advice would be to seperate the IC from the OOC and just keep acting as your character justifiably would IG, staying true to the real concept of Illarion - the very reasons we chose to play in the first place!... If your char bought the dumb propoganda that the prince is evil - keep thinking he is evil, if you are the opposite then flip my first advice over... As to take influence OOC, even from ''this'' thread and taking your problems ig can ruin the atmosphere completely for everyone... Just take it easy, as the players, it is also up to us to provide interesting RP possibilities for everyone, and Mesha is a good sport, just send them!.. And ~if~ all of our worst nightmares come true, i.e. the game changes so vastly that us as the players cannot influence anything anymore, and are merely pawns, then go ahead and bitch all you want, make a
justifiable stand instead of such as this... Or simply leave, I guess those are the choices.
There is a reason that players have a choice of creating 5 characters, as not to limit their rp to one character. I for one have a character (if not 2 of them), who would follow the princes rule like a horse to water, one reason because I am interested to see if the gms can pull this off. But to expect Jefferson to lay back and take it up the 'censored', would be poor rp on my part. And if you honestly believe that noone will oppose his rule, as thy hav so many times in the past, like there was some mass educating of 'fools who dont do exactly as i say'. I don't really expect that, nor want that to have to change just because a gm says so - which is exactly the way that people deem this to be. though I know for one that Mesha, you are a good addition to this game, and wouldn't just go and ruin it for everyone for your own fun. I still think that as they say "the show must go on", even if you did have to force your prince in power, atleast it was done in an interesting way. Just don't expect characters who began opposing it to be swayed easily - because that is what angers people. Flexibilty is always the key
I find the quest to be quite interesting tbh, and even in the event that this take over was unstoppable, I atleast appreciate the fact that you gave the former government a good send off with the last battle, and we weren't forcefully stopped from doing so. I can quite honestly say that it doesn't anger me in the ~LEAST~ OOC atm, though if it is your plan to 'rid' Illarion of any and all who oppose the Prince, would be no fun and bad rp.
p.s. - thanks for 'The glade', good contination I think... Kinda like the others from Lost, anyone watch that?... Jefferson is John Locke
Lulz.
