What The Fuck???

WHAT THE FUCK????????

Guess we'd all better be really careful not to mention anything negative even in mission reports any more, if it's no longer cool for characters to be nasty about other characters in any written medium.

You know, like they are to mine all the damned time.

It was a report. A biased, non-egalitarian, single-opinion report (like all of the others were), from a character who had had a nightmare all weekend at other characters' hands. What in the world did they expect? Rainbows and fucking unicorns?

Would it have been any better had Tony posted it rather than me? I asked if he'd be up for that, and got told I was fine with it (every word of it, from the creator of the system and GM of the game in question - how d'you like those onions?), just to wait until the debrief had gone up.

I swear on my soul that I put aside any OOC feeling I had, and wrote Meek's side of things as Meek and not me. It's a bad write up. Get over it.

Gerrard gets bad IC press every time he goes out, but I don't go whining to the committee that I'm being victimised OOC. Should I start? Is that the assumption we're supposed to make now?

For what's it's worth, I liked your write up of Meek's report, and it's the kind of thing I'd want to see more of where possible after games. I made a point to email the committee to that effect. It might help combat some of the MMO style interaction as well, if it both helps to improve how players consider their interactions with NPC's and for GMs to put more effort into creating NPCs that can be meaningfully interacted with.

I suspect Helbling right that's there almost certainly a lot of thin skin sensitivity resulting from the games that's been brought up by the debrief, and I completely agree with her that you should not have been used as an outlet for that.
I'll admit the debrief greatly annoyed me for some of the OOC tone, and the thought processes behind it, but my response has been to raise proposals to address some of the underlying system issues. As irritated as the debrief has made me I still enjoyed what you wrote, and I don't see any reasons why others shouldn't be able to keep IC and OOC issues apart either.

Could I remind you of this line next time we have an incident like the game you ran with the demons, please? :P

Please do. Anything that helps me learn and improve ;)
