Quote:Sarah54321I'm not sure why the need to call out towards this supposed 'group' is necessary, but I can understand the irritation at the idea of people bashing another. That being said, if it's not outright harassment, I don't see how it can be an issue with having an opinion on a GM/Group of people, just as you have an opinion of the group that you were talking about. It's a little hypocritical to be saying it's wrong to have an opinion, when you yourself have shown a form of negative opinion. I didn't come here to throw stones, but I wanted to point it out nonetheless.I am not saying that it's wrong to have an opinion, and I am not saying that my own opinion isn't inherently flawed nor perfect. I gave my own long, drawn-out opinions on the state of multiple things, and I'm actively giving my own opinion. Whether you think it negative or not, I don't remotely care.
While idolization of a single GM is bad to an extent, it also helps us show how players view the GM Team as a whole. If they were more visibly active, things wouldn't be so bad morality-wise, I believe, and it's not exactly anyone's fault that Slydria is one of the ones that stand out because he decided to take over the majority of Applications at the moment.
This is about the only part I want to address;
What I AM saying is that this entire situation was caused FROM harassment of a GM and bashing her behind her back. That's why I may be coming off as intense or hostile, because all of this was blatantly made from a toxin pit within a Discord server, and sloshed to splatter onto the forums for a begging of new GMs, while elevating one specific GM on a pedestal, and leaving the rest dead in the water with absolutely zero support.
I can, will, and currently AM calling out blatant two-faced aggression as I see it. And until I am proven otherwise, and this was just an innocent query to push forward the actual development of the game, that's how it'll be seen by me. Given the context that I posted when debating Apple's first point in my very first fucking paragraph, which hasn't been refuted as of yet, that view will remain stagnant and staunch.

This thread was specifically calling for new GMs, and pointing out bullet points for the case of making new GMs. Transparency is no longer part of the issue, when the application forums now exist, and people now privately submit their applications, and when one person's ban got explained more in detail.
Any further explanation of bans, or a public list of who was banned for what reason for how long is quite literally hazardous information, and there's a reason why I don't know for what, nor for how long, every single person I've come into contact with has been banned for. That's just another tool to enable harassment, and I personally will vouch against it.
Again, I am letting anyone and everyone have their own opinion. I'm giving everyone here my piece, and they're free to see it as they see fit. I posted that half-assed meme for the sheer, express sake of sharing what I felt about the thread's existence, given the context; it was silly, and it wasn't anything to take seriously. Now that I'm serious, and actively, thoughtfully explaining my thought process, suddenly it's not in the cards to read my posts for any more than a skim.
The circumstances around this entire thread are extremely suspect, and I haven't been immediately proven wrong with the context I supplied when starting my first post in this thread. Try again.
I have no obligation to ease your paranoia. I've shared my opinions in the previous thread, and I remain sincere in my desire to see something good come from this. Objectively people don't expect the GM's to bend over and cater, but people want more than what is currently available.
I'm open to suggestions of compromise, I am open to suggestions. I feel that's worthwhile, but you've offered none while merely trying to smear people here as malicious in an unfair way.
You came with an agenda from the first meme to this point here. You're not worth the time to argue because I don't think anything valuable or healthy will come from it.
