Questioning GM Decisions

[SearyxTZ]

Rogean has dealt with things properly and professionally. And no, deleting threads or banhammering drama queens will NOT help in this instance where it's a hot topic among 99% of the server (will make it worse and spawn a whole new set of problems).

It's annoying that such a huge positive (a legitimate method of hack prevention) is being turned into a negative because people like to complain or create drama.

I completely agree with what you are saying. People post WHATEVER and were ever they want. We lost two DEVs to these trolls complaining and yelling everytime i call is made by a GM.

Did we really? I thought Uthgaard left over disagreements with the other management and Xzerion left after Uthgaard claimed he was corrupt?

Will it? I disagree. I think that there is a certain amount of people who will be banned or give up in disgust and quit because they can't say defamatory things against the staff, those people who have legitimate grievances can pursue them legitimately, and then the rest of us can move on.

This isn't really the thread to dispute past actions. Please keep on the topic: a group of people acting in a manner which is detrimental to the server. There are plenty of other threads in which to discuss other things, and you also have the option of starting a new thread. Thank you.

The fact of the matter is that when a player like Skope starts giving you some constructive criticism on the server he's played on for years, you should probably listen. He represents a huge group of players, the kind of players that any sane GM would want on his server: the ones who don't cheat.

What it comes down to is that if you allow those people to return with their ill-gotten items, it's going to pretty much ruin P99 for the rest of us. You know, the ones you want to play with. The ones who don't cheat.

So if anyone reads this, please disregard Hasbinbad's generic murmurs of safety and normalcy; the sky IS falling with regards to our tiny corner of the internet. This is the single largest significant event and GM decision ever to hit P99. There is still a choice to be made, and it is between two kinds of people. Those who cheated... and the ones who don't cheat.

When a server population stands to lose a huge percentage of its cheaters, or a smaller percentage of we other gamers, the ones who aren't normally as vocal, or influential as individuals, because we usually only play the game itself instead of the metaforum... then I'm sorry, but FUCK the cheaters. I vote to keep the ones who don't cheat.

Delete the cheaters' items or there will be irrevocable damage done to the rest of the server. P99 will never be the same... when the good people like Skope start telling you they will quit because of the decision you are about to make final, then really please just forget the game. Forget training and rule lawyering and the nihilistic top 2 guilds and just make the RIGHT, moral decision. Keep the ones who don't cheat.

I'm not about to let people post incorrect facts in what seems to be a very popular thread. You're a fan of censorship, aren't you?

My bad wasnt staying on topic. But i do agree that people shouldnt be questioning GM decisions in open forums, but rather petition forums like posted.

Moderating by deleting posts and suspending repeat offenders would help. People need to realize that all that needs to be said has been said. If they have something to report that involves a gm decision, there are ways of submitting that to the right people.

There are people on these forums who see a server wipe or this server failing as a positive for them, so they stir the pot. People should be reporting stuff of this nature as well to bring it to moderator attention.

Censorship is quite appropriate in a small, closed system. It's not appropriate in society (to a point). Big difference.
