Sacheverell Posted October 8, 2017 Share Posted October 8, 2017 (edited) Admin key: nonspecific Discord name: Sacheverell Hello, About 45 minutes ago, I was in an ahelp asking for advice or help regarding player behavior, round fun, and maybe getting some assistance with making rounds fun for me as well as everyone else. A few comments in, all discussion ceased, and despite numerous messages, I was unable to get a response from any of the 3 admins online at the time. I understand people get busy, and it's easy to lose a message from time to time, but this seemed willful. One of my chief concerns was about potential metagrudging, and a sense that I was being pushed out of the community by popular vote, with the expectation that I was not deserving of having a fun or engaging round as others are. With that specific concern in mind, you might see where this concerns me. (edit: wow, lot of redundant "concern" usage there. my inner editor is raging.) Like most players, I just want to have fun, and make fun for others in a given round. If I get out of line and someone tells me, I try to correct. Players are guests here, and it's a privilege, that should go without saying. I really do not want to make trouble for anyone, and hope others do the same. I readily admit to getting a touch dramatic when under duress, but I do try very hard not to let that get in the way of anything in-round, or to (hopefully) not be unnecessarily difficult for staff. I'm not sure what to do at this point. If I am the problem itself, not too proud to just accept that and move on. If I'm not, and there's any validity at all to my claims, I would greatly appreciate some help or guidance. I've been on this server for a very long time, but making it feel like home has been getting increasingly difficult of late. I dont want to make things unfun for people if I'm simply not welcome. Thank you for your time. Edited October 8, 2017 by Sacheverell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twinmold Posted October 9, 2017 Share Posted October 9, 2017 Thank you for your complaint. When I get home tonight, I will look into the situation, unless a Head of Staff gets to this first. Please give the names of the 3 admins on to make logs more clear when searched, as well as timeframe this occurred. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sacheverell Posted October 9, 2017 Author Share Posted October 9, 2017 (edited) To be honest, the only name of the 3 I remember was Dumbdumn. Timeframe was about the time of the post, and the intervening 30ish minutes prior. Not ignoring the possibility they may have been busy with something, it just seemed odd. Can't say with any certainty it was malicious. EDIT: In the interest of fairness - some rounds later, I did have an ahelp regarding AI laws, which was answered without incident, Flame got that one. It wasn't about the one that got my account noted, I understood and accepted that one; was asking about a new Law 0 Ide Taro had uploaded, which stated that he was my master, and to not mention/hint at the new law. Was on Crewsimov otherwise, and was double-checking that the law wording did not specifically include a clause about overriding Law 1 (it didn't, as written - that led to some amusing RP near round end when he ordered me to kill the CE).

Dumbdumn5 Posted October 9, 2017 Share Posted October 9, 2017 I apologize for the absence you perceived as willfull ignorance to your inquiries, though I was pulled aside for unprecedented family issues at the time. I understood the importance and severity of your request, but was unable to handle things properly until I had believed that I had been away too long for the conversation to have been carried on, and caught only your last ahelp during that session before getting off shortly after. I didn't intend for you to feel as though you were left without an answer and didn't mean to leave you with the impression that the staff was ignoring you, as I was talking to you shortly before being pulled off, the time between my return likely being filled with consecutive attempts to continue the discussion, as I was the primary admin dealing with your ahelp beforehand.

Sacheverell Posted October 10, 2017 Author Share Posted October 10, 2017 Hey, completely understandable. Had something similar happen today, oddly (oldest boy got in a car wreck mid-shift, had to go recover him). IRL definitely takes precedence. Honestly, given how things have gone since I originally submitted this, it was clearly just a misunderstanding on my part, not too big to admit that. In every instance that's mattered, you've been prompt, courteous, and professional. ...even those times I was basically being a manbaby. Thanks for taking the time to respond to this, it really does mean a lot. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
necaladun Posted October 10, 2017 Share Posted October 10, 2017 Hey there, this is one of the more wholesomely resolved complaints I've seen in awhile :) - ok to mark as resolved? (btw - I've done some searching through various admin chats and the like, and your name has never actually come up - we regularly talk about problematic players, and your name hasn't appeared ever!) Personally speaking the main reason I remember your name is because of playing exalted ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sacheverell Posted October 10, 2017 Author Share Posted October 10, 2017 Ha, I get that a lot. Been a long time since I've played it though, 2e kinda...I dunno. Was fun, but had issues, mechanically. Yep, happy to call it resolved! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
