I dont care about the items quite frankly. Nor so i care that I myself have not been in a event. What I am saying is that my guild has 91 members and not ONE have chain hands and feet. Now ok the time thing well I play at every hour of the day and there is always some people on in my guild.
This attitude is the exact reason that this is possible, because you trust them that no matter what is thrown at you if they say an apple is an orange it is an orange to your eyes.
I am in no way asking for a GM audit or some dumb thing like that just for people to keep an eye out and not be blinded by their GM pride.

There is 0 favoritism going on - we can't fix what isn't there.I am not saying that most GM's are bad but you are saying there is NO POSSIBILITY of GM favoritism? I understand backing up your peers but it is possible and think about it, it happens in all other games from time to time so how is PS so much different that there will not be any bad apples?

First I will address Draklar, The 6+ was just so ppl knew that I wasn't only a 1 week noob (no offense) also yes yo do know me I have changed chars about 4 times i think my first was named Botanic and was part of the Dragon Council (i think that was the name) then I played Tsukassa, had a name change to Veilious, ect. ect. I dunno if you remember me but ne ways i do know you and have played with you however I am on Mac OSX so i commonly am locked out of the game for periods of time, and also i get busy, my current char is called Derableska.
Also all I can come across is circumstantial evidence because I cant get chat logs of other players ect. Just it seems a bit odd when half a guild all has GM event only items...
To Proglin:
this is all I ask
PS: Sarcasm or no I love the game and appreciate the work that 98% of you do however with the way the game is currently a player with chain boots and gloves has a distinct advantage over other players and as such them having such an item should NOT be a willy-nilly thing. In regards to my post the 98% of you are not who im talking about it is that other 2% that is harming the game as a whole.

I think I answered most of this but why don't you do a cross check for how many people on what guilds have GM event items there will be spikes with certain guilds and more so then is seemingly plausible.

I hosted little over 20 events in the passed 3 months.Ok i never said there were none

We don't advertise events, not even to our guildmates, even though we like them better then we like you.That is one thing that i am wondering about because of the seemingly favoritism that some guilds/people get. Im not saying you do in fact I have nothing against you nor any GM who does that what I am saying is that there seems to be a problem and before it is a bigger problem fix it.

You miss them, and try and blame others. I would have to say that is not a very smart move my friend.Neh i missed em that is not my point
It all depends on being at the right place at the right time.

Partially... you're right. The only ones to blame for a shortage of GM-events are GM's themselves. I appolagise we do not work hard and fast enough to fulfil you in your needs.I disagree if events are common or not i dont care I am asking for equal opportunity not more oppertunity
this is all I ask

Also. A trait of good RP is spontanious events. We are not going to announce to anyone (emphasis on the anyone) that there is going to be a GM-event. How could one predict a necromencer needs a princes turned into a frog for his personal pleasure and fettishes? Or that in a weeks time the possability arises that a lady decides to plant a mushroom garden? RP should be spontanious. GM-events aim for that. If not, we have to blend in the RP and make it a possability to pre-announce them. Think of tournaments and such.

Draklar is right. The nature of the first post in this thread makes it difficult, if not impossible, to respond in a manner consistent with the desired tone of these boards. Drah, however, raises a couple of good points. Firstly, I did once run an event written for evil characters (to not take undeserved credit, I should state that I did not write said event). It was extremely well written and a lot of fun, but I had trouble finding evil characters. Most of the characters I encountered were good aligned. Many of these opted out as their characters could not do what my character was asking, and rightly so. I ended up with a group of characters ranging good to neutral. They ultimately found a non-evil means to accomplish what my character asked. This worked out fine, but the point is, events aren't usually written for evil characters because they can be so hard to find.
Second, I agree. We do need some events that pit players against each other. I haven't written any events yet, so I don't have a right to complain about this though Cheesy It is a good idea which will be taken into consideration.
Lastly, I do think one response to the initial post is needed: I would never give my guild mates advanced notice of any events, and I fully trust my fellow GMs to take the same attitude, to the fullest extent to which it is possible to trust someone you know on the internet. IE I cannot say that it is impossible, but I would be extremely surprised if I heard that someone was giving their own guild favor in this manner.

Complaint Department / Where are the GM events?
« on: May 19, 2007, 01:47:35 pm »
Where have the GM events gone to. Today me and my guild were sitting around talking, and we came to a few realizations, The first and most pressing is WHERE ARE THE GM EVENTS?
we have many players who have been here for years and never seen one however there are some guilds that I look at and find that half there members have GM event items. I myself have played PS for about 6+ years and have yet to see an event, period. Now I have asked around to some of the senior players in the game and we have come to the conclusion that there needs to be something done about this. Now not all of us have been privied to never see a single GM event however it does seem a bit odd that certin guilds are so capable at finding these GM events and knowing to have 15 of the 20 people that enter be from there guild.
Now I am not saying that there are GM's that are playing favorites, I would never dream of such a thing. Also I would never think of accusing anyone of foul play. I know that EVERY GM is 100% trustworthy and would never dream of leaking to there guild mates that there is going to be a GM event at such and such time at so and so place. Just look all over the forums at the the bashing cretin GM's get, I am positive that all that aggression at them are completely un-called for. </sarcasm>
Also all the GM events are for the "High and Mighty Goody to-shoes", if you want a world with any sense of realism there there should be GM events that are tailored to not only the good of the world but the bad as well. Rescuing princesses and protecting traders are great and all but what about bounty hunting someone, Finding a glyph for a necromancer so he can kill someone, ect. ect.
Now there are some GM's that I have a great respect for and feel that they do a terrific job, however there needs to be better communication to ALL players about events so that it eliminates the possibility of a rouge GM playing favorites, even tho we all know that all those people in certain guilds just got lucky and they happened to get a total of approximately 15 or so sets of chain boots and gloves.
Also there should be more events geared twords all types of players and not just the same goodie too shoes rescue the damsel in distress.

Now I dont use slang in game and would have no problem with people getting mad at me if I was, No my complaint is that people generally are more likely to assume that you are being OOC then that you are in-character and that you are not a good guy.
A prime example I have of this is one time I was asked to eliminate someone.
So I goto the person and tell them "I am here to kill you and have been sent by powers you cannot comprehend" Now this proceeded to have the person say "Whats up with this crazy dwarf... leave me alone or im going to ignore you be IC geeze..."
You tell me who was Ic or OOC
But nonetheless my point is that there should be some sort of way for people to stop these people who would rather just cay you are OOC and call you a noob then even try to fathom that you are IC and you just are not the same IC as they are.
I have seen this happen to not only bad characters but also good characters, however it is more a problem for bad characters.
My proposition is that there should be a rule of some sort against over-excessive "Your OOC" calling just like how there is a rule against being OOC
As for this

If someone does, go into private discussion with them explaining that it's just role-play and ask what turned them off, in hope that you can fix it and avoid the situation repeating itself in the future.Are you saying that I should have to make a point and spend 10-15 minutes or more of my time to make MY character more fit THEIR description of what OOC and IC is?

Actually a quest wipe might not be a bad idea.... Just not a total wipe of stats ect. I would say give some warning tho so ppl could collect their notes on teh quests that they have done... however that is not even necessary I guess

Now we all know the "Remember to be IC"
Well that is all fine and dandy I have nothing agains Role-Playing however there are a LARGE majority of RP Nazis that actually detract from the game more then the occasional "Ima brb im hungry" by not saying "[Ima brb im hungry]". Now common ppl give me a break. I spend a decent amount of time in this game and generally im a bag guy, member of The Outlaws and such ect. It ALL fits my character, im not generally mean however there is the occasional time when someone has pissed me off that I am. (which is completely IC or do medieval ppl not get mad?)
Now I ask myself the question how can a person be a bad guy in a game where if you are you are considered OOC and burned at the stake? There is a reason that I spend a lot of time NOT talking to anyone except in guild chat, and in fact i generaly ignore general chat altogether because im not about ready to say "Oh fair maiden how goes thee fair day" no im a gruff nasty old dwarf I say "hello" now while "hello" is not generally considered an OOC thing to say the following "What you up to?" has had me flogged, beat'n, entrails spilled, and generally nasty things done to me for that.
Now people ask yourself sitting there at your computer what is this, a game?
Yes there is nothing wrong with IC and Role-Play and someone saying "Dude i got so wasted at school today" will even set me on them because that is a DEFINATE OOC comment however in the event that an comment can even possibly be IC don't maim them with "Remember the Role-Play"'s
Now I am sure I will be burned at the stake for this post however this IS a problem and no-one seems to care.
Just remember that Role-Play does not mean "Role play a good guy" it means be "In-Character" and evil people should not be prosicuted in a GAME for being a bad person, because in real-life there are bad people as well.
I conclude if you want a "Role-Play a good guy" game go look at Pacifistshift and leave us alone at Planeshift.
