Posted by me at the invitation board:
quote: Let me get this straight, I don't want in on your invitation thread, because it is so wrong. I trained as a sith, I never killed anyone without their permission, and I have stuck to the rules.
You have created one of the worst cliques I have ever seen on any website that I frequent. And the fact that the players post here instead of ignoring it and letting it disappear points to the fact that you all support it. This also appears very daunting to newbies who may lurk on this site.
I don't like being excluded, I get enough of it in real life, I don't need it here, especially like this. I don't mind people beating me, picking on me, flaming me, but excluding me?
If this is to be what RPG becomes, then the board should be deleted.
Points made in the closed thread are valid, my problem is the mods should have been editing other people's ranting posts instead of simply closing the threads and then excluding people.
Also, the mods are fully well aware that people have been excluded, and they support this as well. I don't hold anything personal about BMan or Cloud 24, but I think this is a little stupid, seeing as I have not done anything to destroy their rpging before, and neither has the normal member of nightly who might want to join, who has also been excluded.
My opinion, I'm entitled to it.

The thing is is that there were too many ranting people messing up the other threads for the mods to edit. By the time that they had noticed what was happening, it was allready too late and most people had ginen up on the thread becasue it was soo screwed up that it couldn't be fixed. It happened 3 times for the SW rpgers.
There are 2 SW rpg's going on at the same time now. the Invite only, and the free for all one. To me, the SW rpgers have been split into 2 groups--the ones that don't want the thread to be messed up around the 10th page, and the ones that don't really care (they'd just start a new one again).
There are 2 rpgs going, so anyone can post right off in the 'free for all', and a person doesn't necessarily have to be permanently excluded in the other one. They can be invited, but only after they've been cleared by a few peeps--that's just to make sure that the rpg doesn't get messed up and closed at the 10-15 page mark.
(You're opinion, you're entitled to it. This is mine, and I'm entitled to it also. )

i WAS a member but i left bc i realised what i was doing was wrong.i can only hope my leaving can be an example to the other so called "professionals" and to the members that were excluded

I never considered myself a professional. I never said I was. If someone wants to call me one, I'm not going to stop them, I don't care.

I have a suggestion. I don't know RPG very well, but I did take a look at that thread and I thought it was pretty snotty how people were being left out.
Why can't you just give anyone who wants to join a certain deadline to pop in and say, "Hey, I'd like to join in"? And then after the deadline has passed, no one else can join in. Does that seem fair? Like I said I don't know a whole lot about RPG, I'm just basing this off of common sense.

This "by invitation only" game is one of the worst ideas ever conceived on these boards!!! I posted a comment asking why such exclusive games are not moved to Yahoogroups, Smartgroups, Topica or any otehr list service where groups may EXCLUDE to their heart''s content.
On Yahoogroups, you can limit membership, new members can be denied membership. Since you only want a certain group of people playing - DO IT OFF NN!!! Go and create a Yahoogroup!
Otherwise, I really honestly cannot see this being ANY different from what ppl complained about with the COY and other "cliques"!!!

There are two SW RPGs going on, so everyone who wants to play can. An dif others want to take part in the Invite only thread, all they have to do is PM me, and we might be able to work something out.
Also the “Professionals” Was just an idea by B Man to make it sound cooler. It really means nothing.

If not, then I don't have a problem with it. If nothing else, maybe it will help you learn that "getting along well with others" wasn't just a lesson that applied in kindergarten.
So why not leave it in RPG? Mandard already ruled on this, take it to the mods.
And so what if it is 'cliqueish'? It's like starting a story in WG with several authors, and then some bozo just jumps in on it, ruining the story. If they want some good writers/RPGers to participate in one thread, and no 'bozos' who don't really know how to do it, that's their own business. Just because this is a messageboard doesn't mean they have to lower standards for excellence if they want to have a not only FUN, but a GOOD RPG.
If you're so distressed about it, why don't you start a hobo invite-only RPG?

HAHAHA complete lie. I PMed you and you flat out said NO. you said that all the rpers hate me and have no respect for me and what not, well guess what, thats not true. You are the only one who hates me. Yea i ruined the one thread, yea it was my mistake, i apologized for it. It wasnt my intention to do. All the other RPGs after that were just fine and everything was going good. Then you blame me for something I didnt even do, and I watched as members stood up for me saying, "hey, he didnt do anything wrong, back off". Listen pal, im a lot smarter than you think i am. Im not gonna go brag about my schooling because frankly, im sure no one cares lol. The fact is, you created this to only include people whom you liked, and decided to leave out the ones that you didnt like. It wasnt a "proffesionals" thread, it was a "Bryce hates you, you cant be in it" thread.

Oh, look who's talking! one of the first to cry foul and call for bannings whenever some "cliques" or tight groups appear on SWC or the Cantina. You either accept "cliques" or not, LiC. Can't have it both ways!

Then they should create a game on a list service like [b]Yahoogroups, Smartgroups, Topica, LiveJournal]. NN is NOT the place for this exclusive extravanagnza!

bryce we dont care about the rpg anymore, its the principle. the fact of the matter is that you started an rpg and excluded the people YOU didnt like

All you guys sound like total idiots. Stop arguing and being stupid about some RPG board. People are excluted from stuff all the time. If those people wanna be A$$holes then let them do. Just leave and don't be stupid about it. They obvious need there online superiority to feel special, so let them go.

I think everyone is looking too deep in this. Maybe the creators of the thread (JMB and B Man I think) just wanted an RPG where people were seriously "commited to the RPG."
The Final Fantasy RPG thread started out with alot of people, and slowly dwindled down to a handful of people (I myself am guilty of not posting on that thread as much as I used to). Maybe they just wanted to make sure that people knew the backstory of their character, who their character was and where they were heading in life...instead of someone just waltzing in to say hi, and then never be seen again. It's hard to recover a storyline when people are bouncing in and out all the time.

When did I do that? And who really gives a damn, it's just a stupid RPG, get over it.

Both sides are starting to sound like a sandbox fight. "he won't let us play with the sand" "you don't know how to play with the sand"
Mandard gave his opinion, the mods gave theirs. It's not going to change. Both sides do have good points about the invitation only thread. Try talking to each other about it rather than coming here and kicking sand.

Well at this point... the FEEDBACK forum is the place for it. At first it should have been taken to the mods, but we are past that now. Now it is time to involve the feedback forum and the Administration. This is the forums purpose.

Not really, considering the 'sandbox' I was referring to was the RPG board. They should have gone to the mods first. Then if they felt that didn't work, come here to discuss it in a mature way. They are past that now. Each side sounding like two year olds. "I wanna play" "no you can't play" Mandard gave his opinion but I guess you and all of them want him to hand out spankings now.
