I wasn’t vaguebooking, or at least that’s not my intention. I didn’t even know what that term meant. I just had to look it up. Anyway. a lot of comments in this thread dating back to its inception is about writing posts that open conversation about things they find frustrating, vexing, or tiresome in relation to RPing; thus people reply and create a conversation about it.

[quote=@Jacobite]It's a bit unfair to say that people are fickle because they decided to leave when they had their own reasons and communciated.[/quote]
That’s a fair point, but is it fair to state the GM has lost dedication or questioning their activity in a passive tone? Things aren’t fair and fairness is based on how we perceive it. Seems to be a case of the shoe being on the other foot and people not knowing how to take it. I could be absolutely wrong, of course, which is why I am responding to you honestly and directly with no intent of offense.

[quote=@Jacobite]A decent GM wouldn't immediately dismiss other people's concerns as 'insubstantial reasoning', especially if multiple people left for a similar reason.[/quote]
A good GM doesn’t necessarily view every problem as a problem worth introspecting about. Challenging your actions is all fine and good, but only when it is needed. I personally believe in the framing of “a vocal minority doesn’t necessitate change”; also if any issues were constructive or communicated to me via PM I may have acted differently.

Had anyone had the inquisitive notion to ask me about things, I definitely would’ve explained what was going on and my plans to do such. Especially considering I viewed all three of them as excellent writers and collaborative partners who could provide interesting perspectives that I was looking forward to reading.
