I am giving you a hour to figure out whether or not you want this event to happen and if not, I am implementing the next one.
A hour has passed.
I want to know right now whether or not the leaders involved have gone over the situation and reached a conclusion on how to proceed with this event, or have they wasted this time allowing their 2ICs and members to sling snarky comments around in this thread. Leaving the event to burn out on its own, it seems, is not an option.
I've stated my thoughts on the matter, provided the relevant evidence to show that they were consulted. I'm once again extremely saddened and demotivated for thinking that I could do something beneficial for a lot of people, with the help of some people to coordinate and organize something dynamic, surprising and entertaining for all parties involved. I've stated the intent behind it, I've pointed out potential roads and broke it down the best I could to see if even a single argument could be made in contrast to what was generated, and I wasn't exactly sure what to expect.
It seems silly to me to cut off something people have begun to organize for, and something people have put work into and roleplay into to generate a bit of fun due to personal bias and the sudden notion that surprise is bad. What is the point of roleplay if the consequences don't matter? Someone could just as easily be offended by what occurred in Coronado with the gate, the Freeport incidents, or any random event that started small and became something large. It's demotivating to see people not even willing to make an attempt due to pre-conceived notions about us and our faction, and it makes me question why I even bother trying to do anything if I'm simply going to be met with the same people crying about anything that could ever possibly go wrong in a dynamic roleplay environment.
It's almost as if consequences and counter-attacks are frowned upon.
At this point, I leave the decision to the staff to decide. I've been awake for 24 hours now, eagerly awaiting this event to start and having fun playing our roles, trying to secure territory and lock the area down. Yes it was going to be difficult for people. Nothing should frequently be easy.
