Well no one's out to get anyone, because no one can get anyone. It's ridiculous to think that anyone in this game and it's community has legitimate power over anything other than their own character.Â
That being said, I want transparency, not because I think they're the government and trying to conspire against me, but because it seems very cliquish to me to have secret conversations which could possibly be about some of us and the linkshells we affiliate with and keep it a secret. It's a manners thing, not a security thing.
To me, it comes down to "What makes you better than the rest of us? Oh, right: nothing." I understand the need for organization between linkshells in a roleplay capacity so I'm not going to belly ache about the meetings themselves, but there's nothing so important in there that us puny mortals have to be left out.
That's how I feel about it at least. Maybe I'm crazy.
So then it doesn't matter if people have secret conversations about you or your character. Â You said it yourself:
Quote:no one can get anyone. It's ridiculous to think that anyone in this game and it's community has legitimate power over anything other than their own character.Â
Quote:Â "What makes you better than the rest of us? Oh, right: nothing."Not one of us has ever claimed to be better then anyone else. Â I'd suggest you stop trying to victimize yourself. Â The linkshell leaders are trying to facilitate an enjoyable experience for their members. Â I'd have to pose the question: why are you joining the linkshell if you don't trust the leader to have your best interests at heart?
Quote:but there's nothing so important in there that us puny mortals have to be left out.If left out, you mean not being able to see the chat go on why it happens; have you seen the Skype OOC chatroom? Â It's practically unmanageable. Â There would be no way to have a structured meeting with that many people talking and questioning and interrupting.
The whole point of my post is that it comes down to manners. If people actually had legitimate power and could do anything I could understand a sense of secrecy. But they can't. So it comes down to "Why are you talking about us if it doesn't matter?" It's just rude and cliquish.
I'm not trying to victimize myself because I seriously doubt I've ever come up in conversation. That quote was taken out of context. If you want to know what I meant look at the paragraph above this one.
By being "left out" I'm not suggesting we all get to talk, but letting us watch and maybe fielding some questions at the end would solve this problem.
As for my linkshell leader. I completely trust him as a more experienced roleplayer and I think he's a good guy. But that's about it. That's all it should be for anyone. I personally don't give a shit if he has my best interests at heart. It's a game. I'm free to come and go as I please.
But, really. If you're going to start quoting my post and trying to spin everything on me, at least read the whole thing. The main point was "It's not about security, it's about manners." Which apparently you missed because you didn't quote anything from the second paragraph... Which is the one that had my main point in it.
