[@Dynamo Frokane] I have no issue with the policy. As a GM you have every right to create whatever policy you like. However, what I have an issue with is the way you communicate. To be honest just like everyone else you didn't make your posting criteria common knowledge. Your policy is not the issue, the issue is that your policy doesn't fit with the group of players you acquired. And as a GM you might have every right to keep your current policy. But a more polite way of handling the situation was discussing it with members who may need a little compromise. I also have an issue with the people you kicked out. Angel simply expressed his schedule, but seemed willing to work with you. You refuse to speak with him and yes certainly you have every right not to. But he expressed his willingness to work with you. And to be honest this wording "I think it's best if you sit this RP out." comes off like a suggestion not a "now leave this RP". While Ammokx and others expressed their difficulty in your language. The way you come off is very heavy handed and a bit like abuse of one's power. You certainly have every right as a GM to do whatever you like. But should you? My issue is not in the policies. But in the way you handle people. I am impressed you didn't auto kick me out from simply expressing my own issues with that policy considering I have a job that pulls me away from the screen. I certainly can try to post several times a week. But I don't know if I want to work with someone who cannot clearly see where they have taken some missteps. It's less about policy now and your people skills. Which I think you need to do some self reflection on this scenario and ask yourself, was I in the right? You might certainly believe yourself because you're the GM and that's a fine. But I admit as a GM I have made mistakes in the past under the guise that I was the GM. We all do. But when you have lost the respect of several individuals, when those several individuals have left this scenario upset and burned. Clearly something wasn't done right. Do you think? One member being upset they were kicked out is very different from 4 to 5 people , maybe even the whole cast, secretly having this bitter tang to their mouth. Is that how a GM wants to leave things? Just some thoughts.
