Yes, of course it would have been better in the debrief as comments from the GMs. It is post game feedback, quite clearly - posted with the debrief and providing critique from the GMs/Crew point of view of the actions taken.
It should have been posted by the GMs, as appropriately presented feedback on decisions, with appropriate repercussions or just clear comment. If nothing else, in context with the great effort the GMs have clearly gone to to explain their reasoning and present points appropriately, it could have been taken in the spirit it should. It shouldn't have been posted by someone who just in the short time I've been back on the boards and in the club has been grinding their axe heavily in the direction of an unspecified group of older players, which because it's unspecified we'll all assume we're part of, and being openly insulting face to face of new characters older players produce because they don't meet your specific criteria of what makes a good character.
Can I just confirm what you seem to have said above that the spiel was entirely written by Tony? Part of what I've been trying to clarify has been what extent GM approval existed.
As an aside, I have spoken to Tim and he was expecting the repercussions and isn't... not sure of the phrase... isn't too concerned and understands? Yes, probably right. It's taken the PC in a new direction. Certainly he isn't angry about any of it. I haven't spoken to Adrian, but can't imagine him being bothered, probably amused, maybe disappointed Orchid didn't get into more trouble. I haven't spoken to Marcus, but he's had demotions for G'Mord before and been happy to embrace the roleplay. I haven't spoken to Ryan and Reno, and can't make any guess really.
