@Tyriont – I saw you skulking around. Had to make sure mycloset full of rum and virgins was untouched. Anyways, I think us over at Crystalline really downplayed having a few of the popular or admin folk. Like severely. So I can kinda see now from others’ perspective on the subject.Â
To pick up where I cut myself off this morning, I don’t see Ellie/Kylin as an “ace in the hole†or “our ticket to the topâ€, I see them as Derpina and Derp RPers first and admins like third. But from y’alls point of view, yeah, I can see how it might look. But I toooootaly don’t think that way and I don’t think the majority of Crystalline thinks that way either.
@Seo – I mean to poke around with you and Gerik more than I did, but I got all washed up in “OMG! I’m BETA TESTING NEW GAMEZâ€. Ain’t got anything else to add here.
@Spiritual Machine – Making first, second or fifteenth impressions suck! Our biggest foul-up was labeling ourselves “Closed†and clouting we are awesome. Not such an inviting thing really. What we should have said was something more like “Hey guys, we’re kind of keeping new member influx tight as we come up with a rough blueprint of what we want Crystalline to go towards, but shaped by its people over time†or something like that. Because that better reflects what’s going on over yonder. ^^
Of course we’re going to come off defensive, but we’retrying to improve ourselves and explain or try to clarify misconceptions. I’m sorry if all my post seems “NO YOU’RE WRONGâ€-ish, but so far I’ve gained a bit of understanding of Crystalline as some see it. I really have!
@lady2beetle – Yeah, better for us to have said “We’re working on it and might allow a few to slip through the cracks but… we’re working on it.†As Eva says below, she felt since the RPC now clearly hosts a primary and secondary servers, she should define which one Crystalline was going to make home.
To just have a separate section that’s probably going to echo everything I have said (plus an adorable analogy)~
A lot of us in Crystalline, like most others on the RPC, are pretty invested and just all up in our linkshell’s stuff like it’s a mama bear and linkpearl-shaped-cub. I can only truly speak for myself, but I think Crystalline as a whole just wants to improve in the communication wing. A whole bunch. And despite how weird our friendliness seems, we’re honestly trying to take criticism in along with offering how –we- saw a particular situation or thing. Believe me when I say we’re taking any criticism and re-examining stuff!
