Full moon. Which explains some things about my feelings and attitudes these days.
The ladies and gents at my chat game don't want me to go. I don't want to go, but i suspect that the philosophical divide between me and the ST's is too wide to be bridged.
In my last conversation with them, i suggested that rather than have people ask for things in ways that they do not like, why not post a guide to what your Vampire ST is looking for.
They acted as if i was an asshole for even suggesting it. "NO! Why should we do that? We want the players to figure it out for themselves."
Because trying to anticipate an ST's desires for experience requests is apparently "Fun" or something. Instead of pointless and frustrating and liable to cause players to leave. And they chided ME for expecting them to read my mind.
Further, i suspect that neither ST is capable of admitting that they might be wrong about...Well...Anything. I look forward to reports of how they've driven their game into the ground.
Which is a weird precognition i have. When i determine that I can't or won't continue with a game, especially because of that sort of assholery. It usually closes very soon thereafter, or is irretrievably damaged.
Nothing is written in stone quite yet. I may yet change my mind, i don't think i will though. I think I sort of burned my bridge while i was standing on it. Besides I am not keen to play anyplace where the head ST of my venue and the Site Admin/Co-owner are looking for an opportunity to shank me. Hopefully in a way that enables them to look blameless.
In any case. it's time to head home.
I leave you with a classic that has been much on my mind:
