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?

To reiterate what's already been said. We received Meek's report, thought that it seemed entirely legitimate and IC as what was going through Meek's thoughts after the events of the game and gave the OK to post it. Perhaps we should have posted it ourselves as part of the debrief? If that would have caused less upset then I'm sorry and I'll try to remember that for future reference.

I think this is going to end up filed under "I hate the IC boards" on top of the "I hate downtime" pile. And Doug's point stands - as far as I know I'm the only one grumping, and no one else gets it. In the grand scheme of democracy, that makes me the old man in the rocking chair, gumming furiously and probably not to be listened to.
