First off, I am not unfairly attacking middle earth. Not once have I. I am simply trying to address the issue that, if you read my posts I have stated several times, GMs are being left in the dark at a crucial one where we need to develop things. And those things are being messed up. I'd love to get some talon things sorted. But given that Sombra went off to do her own "thing" and there hasn't been a reaper post yet, I can't really do much with ceri to make that happen. And hey, guess what guys, look at the tags, it's a slice of life roleplay! There has to be, Shock horror, some lifey style stuff. We didn't hide that in the original post, it's right there at the top, where all can see! Oh and guess what? I'm repeating myself again! The simple fact is that by not having anyone tell us what is going on it has messed up things completely that we don't actually know how to fix it, our own roleplay. We worked hard on this, and to have a few people essentially take it over and not give us a chance to get it developed? Can you imagine how frustrating that is, especially when no one has given us the simple curtersy of flicking us a Pm saying "oh hey I want to do this, is that a problem? How can we make this happen?" Because guess what, we would try are darnedest to make it happen, so that we could be prepared and make sure that things aren't going to be royally screwed! I've worked with people in my own roleplays to develop ideas. I don't need to know everything in them, but I do if it's going to turn everything upside down! It's the same here, for Vicier. I like the idea of what is happening, just not the impelntation because it screws us over. It's forced us to change hard developed missions and essentially change a big chunk of the roleplay. That's the delay in missions. That's the delay in posts from us. Because we are trying to fix and adapt what is broken, what has been forcibly changed not just by one person, but by several characters. It is a major change to the roleplay, one we weren't prepared for because guess what? That's right! No one told us! So it's effectively put the roleplay on an unstable ledge because it feels like people are trying to take control of everything. And that's not what good roleplayers should do. I have never had, in my 12 years of roleplaying, this issue. Yes it's fine to throw things out there, but not something like this. Not something that royally screws thinks and change the dynamics we worked so hard to create. What do you want me to do, send a mass email? Because right now, it isn't just one or two people that are involved in this. This discussion is meant to be something the whole cast can see, hence OOC. If you are not happy with that, tough! Our hands have been tipped to do it this way, and I don't like it. Yes we have the children of canon characters and this is not the first time they have been mentioned, nor is it the first time It's seemed to be a problem. I worked hard to develop Lucas. Vicier worked hard to develop Juliette. Ajax worked hard to develop Ajax. They deserve to be here. So kindly please stop using them as an excuse to not do things cannonly. You were aware they existed. We were not aware that what has been done in the ic was going to happen. We couldn't prepare. It's not even a close comparison. Do you know what's off putting to watch? People trying to take over your roleplay and then acting like they aren't. That when a reasonable request such as letting the GM know about such major events happening is turned into such an arguement. It's going to keep causing problems until it is addressed and guess what? I'm going to keep on bringing it up in the OOC until people start to listen and understand. I see your side of it. But I know from experience a roleplay like this, you don't keep the GM out of the loop. They need to know what is happening so they can make sure it runs smoothly. That's has been my entire point, that you seem intent on brushing over.
