[QUOTE="Creamsteak, post: 130138, member: 552"] I preped this last night... I wasn't sure if I would post it, considering the way things are going. I was considering waiting a day... maybe two for things to clear up some... Anyway... I was skimming through the DMG last night after Edena's coup de ta post. I found the structure section quite relevant. I decided to copy out all of the sections on good and bad structure and see how Edena stacks up against the DMG standard. [B]Good Structure[/B] Edena's Score: 1/1 Edena's Score: 2/2 Edena's Score: 3/3 Edena's Score: 4/4 [B]Bad Structure[/B] Edena's Score: 5/5 Edena's Score: 6/6 Edena's Score: 6/7 Edena's Score: 7/8 Edena scored 7/8 on this list. The only flaw I took off for was "Deux ex Machina." I took off for this because every turn and on most interludes some kind of divine intervention (though usually not divine) occured. The few I can think of off of the top of my head are: Torrils/Shades Involvment, The Blood Wastes, The Fleet of Evil, The Githyanki/Githzerai, Mina, The Dragons, Brief Control of Acerak, The Wanderer, and the short lived Demon Incursion. [About my score for Edena as a DM] I stand by my vote, and honestly, I score lower. I take off on Leading PCs by the Nose and I don't make encounters that make use of PC abilities. [About me and the IR] I want to continue playing in the IR completely. I don't understand Edena's opinion about the Lurker's Forum, but I don't mind it either. I would like to see a tone down on the outside intervention possibly, as it takes away from my motivation to be an active member of the IR. [About the Lurkers Forum] The Lurkers Forum, as explained earlier, was the easiest way to communicate with other people. There really isn't much content in there to catalog about the IR. The entire forum is basically a meta. You won't see any "in character speeches" or actual announcements. The only information in the Lurkers forum is questions like "Who do you think is going to attack us" and answers like "I think Anabster is going to deal with Toril this turn, and Melkor is going to tank up, so that leaves Acerak, the DU, and some of the less infamous bad guys." That isn't actually taken from the forum, it doesn't make sense anyway. That is the kind of information that was in it, however. The same kind of information that the members of the Union exchange with each other through email. If the Lurkers Forum is important to keep up to date on, you should also ask to see their emails.

I typed about twenty emails between me and Sollir that were both IR based, and focused on completely different subjects, games, and my FFT Expansion. [About Forrester's last post] Edena, I would like to see some of your responses to individual points made by Forrester. It makes me a bit upset to read that you are dropping him from the game. I would be quelled a bit if you would explain it for me. [About Food, Sleep, and Video Games] I live for them... [About Edena being excluded (this was just added)] I would say any excluding was done becuase the LF was kind of embarrassing. The fact that ALL OF US had to rely on each other for back up and the fact that ALL OF US were entirely meta-gaming while there could have influenced us to not let you see. Being a "meta gamer" is considered a big insult 'round here. I think that because the board was built that way we COULD have felt scared that everyone would think we were in the "meta" by using it. I don't know... I never had to think about it. I was too busy thinking about who was going to try to kill me:). [/QUOTE]
