I can't help but read all of these posts and think
that most of the anger and bad feelings toward one another
is merely the result of bad communication between the
mortals and the players. I know I myself have felt this
way when it took me 5 months of asking nice and getting
no response to something I sent to certain Imms, until
one day I came out and bluntly stated that I wanted
an answer now. This is not such an extreme example, but
the worse thing I think that an Imm can do is treat people
with silence. I know that it is most hard to keep up with
everyone's tells, but we as players deal with the same
thing and I know when I get slews of tells I make sure I reply
to each one. I take care of all of the mail I get and try
to answer everyone satisfactorly (sp?) ANYWAY, this is not
really my point. I posted this to suggest that instead of
the Imms saying, "This is the way it is for you, and there
is no changing that." (leaving the players mad, confused
and helpless) How about we hold a series of discussions
going through all of the current policies and voting on
their different aspects. I am sure that if the Imms come
down to the level of the players so that everyone is listened
to and everyone gets a chance to voice their opinion
and vote on changes. (you know. that thing called democracy)
Some good things might actually come out of it. Of course
things like representative numbers and such would have to
be considered, but I am not here to outline it just throw
the idea up in the air. I know its Ptah and Kaige's mud and
of course its all up to them in the end. But if they would
take the chance to do this instead of issuing decrees
from on high. Well I've already made this point.

oh btw, that was supposed to read:
is merely the result of bad communication between the
IMmortals and the players...

The idea about a democracy it a nice one, Daer, but in no way
possible to have....Every time a player who had the whining gene
felt cheated or disliked a change, he or she would demand a vote
on that change, no matter how small or big. Or at least, that
is how I think it will be....Besides, who was to decide whether a
change was big enough to have a voting about it or not?
And if it was to be about every single change there was, it would soon
be voting hell, where the imms could do nothing but count votes...

I'm sorry if it came out like I was talking about changes they
made. I was talking about POLICIES. Like: harassment policy,
reimb policy, string policies, etc. I'm not tlaking about
taking allt he power out of the hands of the imms. I agree
that that would be ridiculous.
