It must take an impressive cock to be so bold on the forums, but if you were to take off the tin foil hat for a couple minutes, you would see that Apple in no way bashes one, or any of the GM's with their initial post. It is a request for greater transparency, reflection on the period of greater activity, and some suggestions from themself as to what can be done; And by framing it as malicious praising of select GM's, you ignore the entirety of what Apple was trying to say.

The critique was that people do not feel comfortable approaching people they feel distant from, and Slydria was one of the most active and out there GM from their perspective; And I agree. Take the applications forum, for example. Chaos has replied in four applications, Slydria in thirty eight applications. If you think praising one GM is harmful to the rest of the team, then the lack of recognition of even the most clear examples I think would make most people disagree; You can criticize a public figure for what they do, and not as a person- And the constant reiterations that this commitment is voluntary and not rewarding is going to fall on deaf ears. They aren't asking for a 9 - 5, they're asking for more than what we have now.

Confusingly you follow-up with "I DO agree that new GMs would be a good thing for the game, but you have to be EX-FUCKING-TREMELY careful about who you put up in this thread as a GM recommendation." The position cannot be both too much of a burden for a team of ordinary volunteers, and so specific that you only get the cream of the crop in a community this small. With assertions like this, you only grow the barrier between the GM's and Players, and as you've already noted the growing, corporate tone that all dialogue happens in. How do we, as a community, voice concerns if not directly. Your entire post just confuses me, and I can only see it as an ugly attempt to make Appo and others look bad by association.
