OOC

I appreciate everyone's willingness to take the beat to have the conversation. It's one of the more difficult parts of pure-online play. There is a lot we miss as players with how we're interacting and such.

Definitely take the time you need to deal with the sickness, I get how hard those things can shut you down.

As an aside, Barek has chosen to not continue with the adventure, so when we do end up restarting, I will find a way to write him out.

Whelp irl i would have been sad, but here people have a tendency to change far too often.

Anyhow was glad to play with him.

Well. It's not covid. But it still sucks. Fever is getting a bit lower so that's good. Hope it breaks in a few days.

This game is infectious! I have also come down with cough and cold!

Get well soon

Damn, I'm telling you it's the tavern food XD

how are you all? feeling better? @stampman and Khulod

Ye, though i don't really get why the whole theatrical parade got put on a pause.... I mean this is not a irl game, then again.... I'm not too proficient in the art of exquisite manners of pbp 😅

Basically I put it on pause because I want this out of character bit to be resolved and a "social agreement" of sorts to be hammered out. This whole situation has already caused one player to leave the game and others have had concerns as well. If we have characters to write out I'd like to do it now while we are at a natural point in the story to do so.

Basically you're right, this isn't an IRL game so there isn't a chance for body language and quick resolution. Rather than have things festering and causing tons of "no fun to play" feelings happening, we are pausing to clear that up one way or another and then we will move on.

Alright, big thanks for taking your time and explaining this to me! @Dramasailor

yeah...ok so to make it clear and to be honest I feel I got misunderstood, because nothing what I did was to cause frustration to others, I am just a noob player

and as I said to Dm, if you do not want to play with me, I will respect it and leave...
if you do not have a problem, fine by me too, because I would like to play here.

I am afraid I do have Covid but I think I am slowly getting better. I am fime playing with Millyk but I would like to hear from Khulod

Sorry to hear that Stampman. Hope you get well soon.

Life has a way of piling up trouble in one short span of time and not kindly smear it out like butter on bread it seems. In my particular case, after that lovely episode of feverishly coughing my lungs out I was treated to a death in the family immediately followed by my employer suddenly demanding we come to the office twice a week for our glorious 'return to office'. Not the office 15 minutes from my home that's supposed to be my work office, no, the office 2 hours drive away on the other end of the country. I'm still fighting that battle while waiting for the funeral. So no happy days for Khulod. But enough self-pity. I'm only coughing a few times an hour, the fever is gone and if so inclined I can take a deep breath (at my own peril) so it's time I got to writing this promised post before I go look for my next job.

Alright. This game. I really liked from the start what Dramasailor put down. Good descriptive posts, engrossing npc's and a living world (or, well, village) with its wide set of issues. Things started off decently enough, but as we all know we had some issues getting started, to the moment where I pointed out that at some point I felt I was solely pushing the narrative forward from the player end and had a chat with the DM about that. At that same time the first issues between myself and Millyk popped up. If you look back to February 16 you can see the first time the problem was brought up. At that moment IC Radiza had been engaging the NPC's while the other characters nodded along or faded to the background. We've already had a discussion about that, but I'll draw notice to Millyk's actions around that period which involved taking offense at being called out for going solo by me. By then I, and I think certain others, were getting well tired of their antics IC as well. It didn't help that after the intervention where Millyk was asked to join the other players that Milaki did so by.... walking up to the core members that were left by then and insulting both of them (Feb 21). Yes! You read that right, the first ever, FIRST EVER moment Millyk opens her mouth at Radiza, their FIRST IC meeting, it is to ask Radiza she coughs up hairballs.

Mmmmmhhh! MHHHHHHH!

Naturally, IC insults were traded in kind from that moment on while I as a player just... skimmed over the logical fallacy of having such an individual join an orc slaying expedition. OOC needs must and all that, and the game goes on.

But naturally, Millyk's vitriol didn't end there. No, after demonstrating exceptional IC unlikability as a character, followed by the stint to get a solo adventure going, followed by a reluctant joining of forces, the fist chance, the FIRST CHANCE Millyk gets to undermine Radiza's (or well, anyone's) efforts is to go 100% murderhobo and to kill an unarmed prisoner who surrendered and is currently being tied up by a party member.

Take a moment dear audience. Soak it in. Re-live that moment.

Mmmmmh.

Yes, I got a bit heated. A lot of frustration came out in that post. But if you put a lot of work into something just for someone else to make a good effort at ruining everything you do, then yes, that's the response you get. So much work in getting a good game going, practically co-writing it with the DM, all for one person to just... pull down their pants, take a big stinking heap on it, and smile at you while doing it. But oh no, they didn't mean to. They're just.... misunderstood. They'll do better! Smiley face!

Yes I probably misunderstood you assuming that you made a mistake as a player. I imagined you would prefer your PC not to murder creature that surrender and may add content to the story (by talking to the team). If however it was MY misunderstanding and you still think your PC action best contribute to the story we are telling, then please explain.

P.S. I would also like to shared my feelings about the game

Though puzzled about murdering I am thankful to millyk that her PC helped to role-play my PC into the first battle. I would need to stay out of the battle if Milaki didn't help old man with heavy wight when Radiza decided to run away from the old man.
I would be happy if everyone would care less about my-pc-role-playing and consider the story-telling. The story is about the team and the deeds. Individuals and their actions is only a tool to tell the story.
Well anyway, not sure I am making it clear, but at lest I wrote that :)

ok Khulod...you made false conclusions about me....
Firstly, I accepted the fact how you play your character and how angry and bossy it is.
I wont explain again my two mistakes, the one that I talked to npcs at the beginning and killing a monster.
I already apologized and seriously it was not in purpose !
Also a nice saying I like to use do not judge so you wont be judge.
Are you the same player you left from the other survival campaign?...
because the dm did not let you have slaves? ...that was a moment to remember, you made a drama there too and left...

Anyways,
I am willing to let it pass and forgive your outburst and your angry comments,
if you are willing to accept my apologize and my noob mistakes.
Otherwise, I do not have anything else to say about you, clearly you have a problem with me and we need to sort it out or someone needs to leave.

No. Never in my life would I want to play a slave owner.

@Khulod No, I m right...you dont remember? you wanted to make a rich character with commoners and the dm did not allow you and you left angrily? Explorers of the uncharted continent ...
seriously you have to check your angry issues man... its not nice to burst on others.

You're so full of shit.

I recall now. I was playing an elf knight, they get three retainers. I described them as a Seneshal, Squire and Manservant in the detail everyone here is used to by now. So how did you go from there to slaves again?

yeah.. whatever.. retainers... slaves.... potato patato :P anyways the point was that you had a bad behavior again there and now here... so guys if he does not keep his nice comments like full of shit etc for himself, I am out. I believe he is not willing to change his bad behavior. I hope I am wrong...but he has anger manager issues.

Khulod has been removed from the game. I have to get back to work, but I will be back to pick things up later today. Apologies for this dragging on as long as it did.
