I don't really want to touch the origin of this thread in an excessive manner, mainly because I understand how difficult it is to make a convincing and compelling narrative, while also trying to take into account people's emotions on events. Though there have been a number of statements, admittance and the like prior to my posting here, I do think that the GMs have attempted to be as fair and light handed as they could, being placed in a situation which was uncomfortable, no matter the approach.
The main reason I'm posting right now, is to address the traps around Fairview, being the person who Magaisendo'd a small portion of them away. If I remember my chain of events correctly, a character had just fallen into another section of said traps, maybe after the information of their detail was posted in looc, a post I didn't catch, though ran with the idea of them being pitfalls, after the fall.
It wasn't an attempt to god mod, I kept said removal to quite literally the traps in my direct proximity, as I don't believe, even as a geomancer, it would be reasonable to be able to pin point all those nearby and the main intent was for ic purposes of "The evidence of traps are right here and you say you didn't know anyone was coming?"
Really this whole event has been a bit of a mess for a number of reason and I would hope that it can be taken as a learning experience, 'growing pains', from a new way of handling the narrative. I'm sure that as a result of all of the issue brought up here, weaknesses in the process have been identified and will be adapted to better suit conflict in the future.
That is provided none of us push our head into the sand about things.
