Yes, hit me up on Discord. Probably easier to find me under "I hope you got Money" These days.

RE: Chancellor Elections
@savn said in Chancellor Elections:
- Scripted controls/powers for a chancellor/Figure out how to make position as time light for dms as possible. As things stand it seems paradoxical, that something that was intended to put power into player hands results into a greater need for dms to arbitrate, implament, and react to things. It leads to dms doing stuff they dont have real interest in, as well as instead of running other plots, making the chancellor a main plot, even for people who rather focus on adventuring, and ignore politics.
overall a smart post, I just wanted to comment on this since its obviously something we would want. The thing was, for an experiment it seemed crazy to od on scripted stuff before we even knew if the idea was going to work.

RE: Discord and censorship
I think you were too busy thinking up ways to ruin my joke to actually soak in what I was saying Mr Bane.
Why did I say "pm a dm instead of publically attacking them?" Because these types of threads are draining for DMs, and while they are sometimes necessary to have an open debate about things players disagree with I don't think this particular subject scratches the surface of that need. Burnt out DMs leads to a boring CoA, at least until we hopefully fix that in version six, so its bad for the server.
Why did I say "keep the main channel clear of any conversations that someone could reasonably find offensive?" Because people have quit over certain comments on discord. That means we are going in the wrong direction of the goal before we even start. That's bad for the server.
Why do I say "when someone asks you to end the conversation or take it to a room like politics just do it?" Because most of the time even if its a silly request the request is coming with the communities best interest at heart. So, really, I'm not asking you to respect the person telling you to end the conversation, but rather respect the community you are part of instead of expecting everyone else to conform to how you think it should be. That last bit goes for everyone. And as I said in my initial post, anyone can send along a pm regarding a dm going overboard to any other dm, we take that stuff seriously.
So, how about we all wind down the negativity some and start figuring out ways to get new players excited for COA with the EE?

RE: Discord and censorship
Haha, you guys...This thread reads something like this;
Censorship is bad!
Wait, now I'm offended by what one of the dms said! Censor him!
I'm going to leave that bit of irony alone going forward, just wanted to point that out.
The thing about the general discussion of discord is that we want it to be a safe space for all. What that means is that whatever religion you prescribe too, whoever you choose to sleep with, whatever world leader you support, whatever gender you associate yourself with compared to the one you were born as, or anything else along those lines, you have the right to be you in our community and not worry about other peoples less then favorable opinions coming down on you like a tidal wave. And if any of our players disagree with that stance, all I can say is sorry, that's non-negotiable. We are trying to build the community back up with the EE, and that means being more welcoming to EVERYONE.
That being said, I firmly believe that the way people of differing opinions come together is through conversation, and the politics room allows a lot more freedom to say what you want (as long as its civil). The difference being that people who might get offended can simply not look at that tab, as opposed to it being forced on them in general.
So, if you are asked to take a conversation to politics, or end the conversation, or whatever by someone in orange or blue- Just do it. If you feel like the person trying to moderate the room is overstepping, copy and paste to another dm. We are not perfect human beings, and we have conversations about overstepping with each other all the time. But publically attacking the DM who is only trying to protect other players whether they are overreacting or not has got to stop.

RE: How the ”Plot wheel” broke, and the “Winner mentality” took over
Olouth, you made it about you >_>. That was kind of my point. And it wasn't a veiled anything, just me saying that your good ideas were going to be listened to despite you making it about you.

RE: How the ”Plot wheel” broke, and the “Winner mentality” took over
There are some interesting things in here, some of which was pointed out that we are working on already. It's sometimes difficult to take feedback like this when you know its also a veiled cry of disapproval from a player that is looking to lay blame in every direction but the right one for recent happenings involving them, but at the end of the day we try our best to cut through the proverbial weeds to get to what's important.
We're all a bunch of imperfect people with our individual opinions on what makes the perfect server to ever actually have the perfect server for anyone, but as long as we keep communication open we might find we all have more in common then we don't.

RE: Now that the election is over...
6 months is waaaay too long. I would actually prefer a month (with a little longer for the first time while we sort through the speedbumps) but a lot of people think two months is good. The thing to remember is that the current Chancellor can run and win again, so its not like its a limit on how long one person can be in power. Just a limit on how long a bad leader can be in power lol.

RE: Now that the election is over...
Well, next time will certainly feel less jammed together, but a week is actually plenty of time. I don't get to play as much as I would like either, and I miss a lot because of that, but that's just part of the game. Can't hold up everyone else because I got other things to do.
