12-30-04, 11:21 PM Hi there everyone - I'm going to take W.Cat's advice, and post a Poll thread. I've never done one of these before, but I do think they're a good idea. This is the first in a series - and the initial questions that I'm interested in is ways of getting you to contribute to the development of rules. We've all got theories about why people do or do not post at the MetaThread. I keep seeing the same quorum of (very) assertive posters.

But we need your contribution as well - whoever you are, so I'm going to ask about the kind of posting environment you need to feel like you can contribute at MetaThread, in the first thread)

12-30-04, 11:31 PM My view isn't covered. That view is waiting to see what the others come up with first before contributing.
Silmarien Aldalome
12-30-04, 11:45 PM My view isn't covered. That view is waiting to see what the others come up with first before contributing.

Thanx Demonfey - we need that information.

I won't start a new thread, yet, for that question - but ask all posters, to post that view as well, if they hold it, here. I can get a litmus test for it by way of your posts.

If you need more anyonymity, please PM me and I'll close this poll and start another for you.

12-30-04, 11:55 PM I don't really feel any of those. . . I can definitely see what some people might think, but for me, I've felt welcomed, that most people listen to my views, and i have no real problems with it as is. . . it can sometimes get a bit confused or hectic in there (when the games were 'reopened', for example, like 2 pages went by pretty quickly for me).
But put my vote down for "None of the above" :D

12-31-04, 12:43 PM I don't think my view is really up there. With a few exception, I only get to come here a few days a week, and I feel more comfortable watching the progressmof the others, then contribute on some tings, and see how things go from there. I try not to get too involved, becuase of my unfortunite scheduele.

Actually, KoE's suggestion is probably the closest to my view, minus the vast undertaking.

Silmarien Aldalome
01-01-05, 07:47 PM Droga - erm, I see the usual warm and fuzzies from you. Should I take your bait? Should I respond in kind?

I don't think so.

If I was what you say - I wouldn't be able to write this Post to you on these terms.

Ahh, yes, it's good to be alive. :)

How about you tell a little higher truth and accept that:

we bath people in their weaknesses, distort them, construct them as mosters, when we have a personal axe to grind - and when we need to conceal our vulnerabilities from ourself and from others".

If you've come to make trouble - don't. But if you've come to be productive - show it in your posts and I'll take that at face value.

If you're here to try to build bridges - show me you can do that by being mature and well-mannered.

@All

I'm taking ideas in PMs about the kind of polls you'd like to ask.

As for my veiw of this poll, I don't have really any opinion at all, seeing as I don't 'play' as a character, or use any of the rules. However, I see a need for other people on this forum to get heard, or suggest something, and someone who will support their veiw, for often, when they do voice an opinion, it will be ignored, or not seen.

Silmarien Aldalome
01-02-05, 03:36 AM I'm going to poll some options about rules in the next two or three days.

The tasks for rules is:

polls
council (GMs need to brief and get ourselves "on the same page" and forge a product (based on consultation))
submit to WizOs for review
delegate Stickes and cut the threads we will need
set up a review phase - to see how they went

The timeline isn't going to be under 20 days to a month. These things can't be rushed too much.

In the meantime - post cautiously.

01-03-05, 08:51 PM I haven't said much, and I have a reason for this... let me explain my reason for not being more active:

I don't know how! For the life of me, I cannot figure out what is happening here, what's happening there, what's happening anywhere. The only thing that has made sense so far is Grimlock's city, which rocks, and even there I'm slightly confused.

What I am recommending is that we get one person, a single human being, and make him keep track of the rules. I would definately volunteer for this, and I think BB once did. In the prime metathread you have, within the first post, a section that you have marked to hold the rules. I say go ahead and post there everything that you can, everything that's logical. I have a lot of free time, but not enough to read all of that forum, where other people have and no what's happening.

If no rules have been created, I'll create them and set them in stone. I apologize for my arrogant attitude, but I am sure that if people told me the basics of what they wanted, I could make a system that would pretty much make everybody happy. Its as simple as that. Furthermore, I'd be willing to do it all! And no, not just say it, but actually do it. I could have it done within a week if you told me what you wanted. When I say "what you wanted" I mean the feel of the game. I think our biggest issue here is not knowing what 'feel' everyone wants, if you know what I mean.

Right, anyways, I answered the poll in the second paragraph and then started droning on. Good day to yous.

Feel free to come to the metathread and help with rules creation. The rules are still in development They are not being made by a single person because of a few problems we've had with others not agreeing with rules. But they are in development, if you have any ideas, feel free to post them.

01-03-05, 09:42 PM I always feel out of place in a rules disscussion becuase I think that the people who have been given authority were given it for a good enough reason and becuase of that I believe that these people should have complete authority in rule making, like a DM has.

We ask for your opinions because it makes it a better game when things are more the way the people want them. Orcy knows theres some things DMs he has had do that all the players would like changed. It may feel a bit weird, but it helps to prevent anger issues later on.
Xen155
01-03-05, 09:53 PM But are not these anger issues mute, with the exception of moderators, once a rule is made there should be no contesting it becuase the GMs are the only authority on the matter.

Then talk about it when the rules are not yet made. Orcy reminds you that no rules have been made official yet. We (the community) are still working on them. If you don't feel right commenting when the rules are made, then now is your chance since the rules are not made.

Not arrogant at all - but reasonable. It is a very tricky matter to keep track of developments *sighs*. And - there are no firm outcomes yet, so we can't give clear answers to what will be.

We will won't be actually doing any game play until the rules are cut, and put into stone on a sticky.

But - because we're doing the community consultation thing (deliberative democracy) it will slow us down.

The voting will retard a speedy outcome - and we can't even post a Poll thread until we are clear about where the differences of opinion are.

But - *sighs* that's life really - a step at a time.

Thanx for your post - it's very thoughtful

I know I'm supposed to sum the rulez for everybody around here. But the fact remains that there are no rules (besides character creation which I already summerized, twice :eek: ) - It's complete chaos around here and I can no longer keep track of so many people at once. Once I find a rule that is set in stone I will write it up.

When I say "what you wanted" I mean the feel of the game. I think our biggest issue here is not knowing what 'feel' everyone wants, if you know what I mean. Right, anyways, I answered the poll in the second paragraph and then started droning on. Good day to yous.
Orcy The Green Wonder 01-03-05, 08:54 PM	I haven't said much, and I have a reason for this... let me explain my reason for not being more active: I don't know how! For the life of me, I cannot figure out what is happening here, what's happening there, what's happening anywhere. The only thing that has made sense so far is Grimlock's city, which rocks, and even there I'm slightly confused. What I am recommending is that we get one person, a single human being, and make him keep track of the rules. I would definately volunteer for this, and I think BB once did. In the prime metathread you have, within the first post, a section that you have marked to hold the rules. I say go ahead and post there everything that you can, everything that's logical. I have a lot of free time, but not enough to read all of that forum, where other people have and no what's happening. If no rules have been created, I'll create them and set them in stone.

The rules are still in development They are not being made by a single person because of a few problems we've had with others not agreeing with rules. But they are in development, if you have any ideas, feel free to post them.
Xen155 01-03-05, 09:42 PM	I always feel out of place in a rules disscussion becuase I think that the people who have been given authority were given it for a good enough reason and becuase of that I believe that these people should have complete authority in rule making, like a DM has.

We ask for your opinions because it makes it a better game when things are more the way the people want them. Orcy knows theres some things DMs he has had do that all the players would like changed. It may feel a bit weird, but it helps to prevent anger issues later on.
Xen155 01-03-05, 09:53 PM	But are not these anger issues mute, with the exception of moderators, once a rule is made there should be no contesting it becuase the GMs are the only authority on the matter.

Then talk about it when the rules are not yet made. Orcy reminds you that no rules have been made official yet. We (the community) are still working on them. If you don't feel right commenting when the rules are made, then now is your chance since the rules are not made.

It is a very tricky matter to keep track of developments sighs. And - there are no firm outcomes yet, so we can't give clear answers to what will be. We will won't be actually doing any game play until the rules are cut, and put into stone on a sticky. But - because we're doing the community consultation thing (deliberative democracy) it will slow us down. The voting will retard a speedy outcome - and we can't even post a Poll thread until we are clear about where the differences of opinion are. But - sighs that's life really - a step at a time. Thanx for your post - it's very thoughtful regards stav

But the fact remains that there are no rules (besides character creation which I already summerized, twice :eek: ) - It's complete chaos around here and I can no longer keep track of so many people at once. Once I find a rule that is set in stone I will write it up.

(make sure to include a short description with the link) If you want it submitted for review and use in the games . . . I have no idea. Mayhap you post a link at the Meta-Thread? I dunno. -KoE
