Okay, I know it was a very difficult night for pretty much all of us on staff for one reason or another, due to lack of communication and knowledge of exactly what was going on. But like we were talking about before, one thing I noticed was getting blatantly apparent was the fact that there has been a type of mommy-daddy thing. Granted, players are still getting used to the fact that I'm on staff rather than being a player and it will take some time for adjustment, which I understand fully. What needs to stop happening, as I am sure I'm not the only one this has happened to, is players going to get rulings from other STs during a scene rather than accepting the ruling that the narrator running the scene has ruled.
If nothing else, we need to get a handle on these things. I also apologize again for not telling you guys the results of the scene from the boards. I do understand where the confusion and frustration is coming from, as there was also structural things throughout the whole island that were looked over on both sides of the question. Hopefully this can start to be resolved by players submitting haven descriptions and us taking the time to read through them.
I am to blame for some of this too, I fully accept it. Also, we need to talk to Paul and Patrick as they said many times before that they would not be using what they had on PCs, which from what I saw and heard, was violated tonight. I know we like to say "yes" to the players, but that action alone is kind of a kick in the face to us. They are very good wordsmiths and probably could make a living selling cars or insurance, but we do need to kind of keep an eye on them and their plans.
Just my two cents...
