New Angry Goblin Agreement

Since I'm thinking about going after the angry goblin at some point in the future, and I just learned about how the camp is handled today, I was doing some forum searching. I found this chat thread, and I'm wondering if any policy update could possibly happen.

I know this thread has been without a post for over a year, but I thought I would post here since it's the first angry goblin related thread I came upon.

Both goblins, angry and shady, did not have their rules set by the staff. When they were first added to the server, the first person to click on them got them, and it was a race to do that ... a stupid, annoying race, that favored people with better connections.

So, for everyone goblin spawn (starting with Shady) a few of us showed up and said "this is dumb: let's all agree to do this like any other loot roll, with /random". At first some agreed, and some didn't, but with each (lame, first to click) goblin, more and more people got on board. Finally, all but one or two holdouts agreed ... and eventually those holdouts realized they were fighting 20+ people, and were being jerks, so they caved.

The point is, it was a player-made agreement. After we did it awhile, the staff decided "well if everyone likes it this way, we're not going to let one jerk ruin it", and they started enforcing the agreement.

If you want to change the policy, it's easier than any other rule in the game (but not easy). Changing another rule requires bribing Rogean or a head GM [You must be logged in to view images.

Changing a player agreement "just" requires convincing everyone who shows up to roll that the new policy is best ... and then you have to keep doing it for X? weeks, at which point the staff will enforce it.
