This was part of the issue I tried to make aware, even directly quoting parts of the OP to have them clarified. I was shouted down for being a spoilsport and the OP remains, to this day, unedited despite being told I and others "interpreted it wrong."
There's a reason this thread stopped commentary a month ago or so.

Yes well, how dare you have an opinion that contradicts anyone elses...
I had actually thought this some time ago, but just figured I was understanding it wrong so just kept my mouth losed on the subject. I see I'm not the only one.
RE: Interaction of Multiple Free Companies - Kage - 04-24-2015
Everyone (and I'm pretty sure it was everyone) interpreted that phrase wrong apparently.
RE: Interaction of Multiple Free Companies - Nebbs - 04-24-2015
Gosh..Â
Well I will be coming along with an open and constructive outlook.Â
What I think we will get out of it:
- Visible openness to interaction
- A shared event/action that puts some commitment behind a willingness to interact
- The initial steps, maybe just acknowledging each other
- Accepting we are all part of a bigger thing
- FCs actively putting out hooks
- FCs identifying other FCs that they think they could work with
Interactions will be between FCs and not through any "collective" forum. So think of this like maybe singles night for FCs?
RE: Interaction of Multiple Free Companies - No Longer Exists - 04-24-2015
*Peeks out from under his hat*
Many moons ago.... *Drumbeats, low chanting in the background* The tribes of Gilgamesh came together, a summit of companies. There were three events, each held on its own in a single city-state. For hours before hand, I and others interested in helping out, raised our voices to announce these events to the public at large in all the city states.Â
Each company or tribe announced itself, if it wished to attend, with no more than 5 members as representatives (though we lifted the number restriction later at the community's request). New players came and listened, their characters RPed with those they agreed most with or found most interesting. FCs mingled, made connections, offered services, settled grievances, and no one spoke of writing laws.
There were many trolls, but we had a good time anyways.
This is what I feel the OP was trying to get at. I could be wrong though.
I refuse to read the stuff about details, nuances, and how it should or shouldn't have been worded.Â
Tl;dr
I'm in and will do anything to help.
RE: Interaction of Multiple Free Companies - Mercurias - 04-24-2015
Welp, from my knowledge my own FC is going to be attending. We actually don't have a whole lot of interaction with a lot of other groups, so I'm curious to see if there are like-minded folks who are interested in our storylines or vice versa.
If my own group doesn't attend, I'd probably show as a nonrep just to see what it's all about.
I'm curious.
That being said, I'm really pretty astounded at all the criticism it's getting.Â
I strongly suggest that people who detract from the event for whatever reason suggest alternatives along with the criticisms. Having your opinion is fine, but we ALL have one, and that means it's a better idea to contribute something constructive rather than, uh, tearing something down and leaving nothing else in its place.Â
I don't really see the point of all that.

People just get nervous is all, and new things are scary. I don't mind really, several say the op was not clear on meaning, but even though it is clarified in page 6 of this very thread, people feel better/more empowered nipping at others, and it is easier then coming up with original ideas. What can I say right?
I'm not terribly bothered by naysayers, there are many people interested in the event and that's who I am doing this for. For people who automatically think the worst.... suspicion is a terrible burden.
RE: Interaction of Multiple Free Companies - Warren Castille - 04-24-2015
Or you could have edited the OP to address the concerns instead of making people look in another thread for your clarifications. I guess all your edit time was spent sniping in a Star Wars picture to take the piss out of people's concerns, though.
The fucking irony of you talking about other people sniping.

Quote:Or you could have edited the OP to address the concerns instead of making people look in another thread for your clarifications.What result would that effort yield? From my recollection of the thread, the only people complaining about the wording (or whatever the specific nitpicks were) were the same people stating an upfront unwillingness to attend regardless.

No, I think the pages of explanation were enough. Its alot I know to expect people to read a whole thread true. And I couldn't help myself on the pic, to funny.
Look man, I'm not mad at you or anyone. Someone bows up on me, I tend to laugh it off. Its how I am, so love it or not. No need to get all angry and saying words I do not believe are needed such as F****** or P***. No need for your anger friend. To be honest, if we are getting personal here I am not sure where or when you became so angry with me over everything. I thought there was trust. The grindstone is big, and the title arbiter is a bit special sounding, but I would never think you were trying to take over or be negative because I know you are a stand up guy. The title, the event, they are artistically flowery for the sake of fun, so I assume its all in good fun. So I wonder why I do not rate the same benefit of the doubt I give you, and the benefit I give you in private conversations about you and your event.
I wish I knew why really.

Well unless something has changed since last I've seen, you won't be able too.
Only FC leaders and a delegate can attend.
Which means any outside interaction will be excluded.
That may have changed though.

Wonderful point. I'm actually an officer in NB. I hadn't known nonreps couldn't attend, but I can see why. It would be crowded that way, and big assemblies are hard to work with a lot anyway. Ah well. Still looking forward to the chance to see a big pile of folks in-game.

Yeah unfortunately its not an exclution thing, more of a size control as a house can only like 200 people. The event will be live streamed, as stated before many times.
The reason for putting it into a house was a decision made on the grounds of threats of trolling i was made aware of. So is the nature of an rp server.
RE: Interaction of Multiple Free Companies - K'nahli - 04-24-2015
If you have nothing positive or constructive to contribute then please do not bother posting at all. Attempting to call other people out over petty and irrelevant details will not get anyone anywhere.
Aside from that, please mind your tone. It doesn't matter how well you know one person or another, or how accustomed you are to being 'harsher' in certain company. If people frequently come off too strongly in a way that others might perceive it as off-putting or toxic then your choice of wording will start biting back in the form of warnings and eventually bans.
Enough topics have been unnecessarily cut short as of late and there's no good that can come from helping to create an unfriendly atmosphere in the forums. Please have a long think about what you want to say and how it might come off to anyone who reads it - be they the target of your post or not.
You are not the only person who loses out from being sanctioned. Everyone please think about what you are doing.
