I'm a firm believer that strength in numbers can help determine not only a popular course of action, but a course of action the entire group may turn out to be comfortable with. I can't speak for the the mod-team in particular, given that I'm a mere eggplant in comparison to the rest of the game, but from what I've read in this post and elsewhere, I can't say that there's going to be a clean fix to this, nor should there be. This all seems like a terrible mistake, driven by poor judgement, poor choices of words, different intents and quite a few mistakes in communication. If we aimed for a clean fix, we would cauterize the wound and it would be exceptionally difficult to heal the real issues beneath the surface.

To make a long point short, I have no real original opinions on this matter, but I do support suggestions for the mods to make endeavors towards improving the state of their positions as mods through serious introspection concerning how to address players, accept scrutiny concerning mod performance and juggle how plots are processed. I understand the stress of the word 'time' is immense especially when perhaps a dozen people are talking all at once, but that's why mod-teams aren't solo acts.

Once again, I have nothing new. I'm just here to drop my vote as a player for things to be changed and taken not just seriously, but realistically. We all want everything to be solved tomorrow and immediate changes shouldn't be the only thing we deal with. Whether it's changing the layout of the game's administration or just an inward look at performance and improvement, I just hope it can be done without taking any hard feelings into account. As angry as people can get in arguments and concerning slights in their own direction, I personally want to see if this can be done without letting those hard feelings take a hold of us.

I believe that for games to work, you need cooperation, communication, humility and patience. Adventurers and Dungeon Masters need each other to exist. Anyway, I hope someone can gain something from my incomprehensible nonsense. I think I made a point, but I'm not sure. I just really like this game and would like to continue liking this game and using all the commas in the world.
