Howdy ladies and gents, hope you are all well this day.
I'd like to touch on something that I find particularly irksome to myself, and probably a vast majority of you. Skype, like we all know, is the best means of communication between Roleplayers. It's quick, efficient, and you can coordinate things much faster via that than you can over the board's PM system. Many of us come to just chit chat with our friends, and I've been known to just goof off in chat rooms all day long with my friends and have fun. It's quite relaxing, and helps all of us get to know each other. It's not just enough sometimes to just write, we love actively socializing with those who are kindred spirits. I love it myself, and I'm friends with the vast majority of those who have my skype handle. I firmly believe it's a great tool to use for factions for speed dominions, and planning future events. Hell, we as staff have meetings via skype voice calls on a pretty frequent basis and we use it for going over factory submissions.
That little intro out of the way, here's my point.
I'm lucky enough to have forged many relationships on this board, and I've been fortunate to build strong friendships with those in leadership positions in factions. What I don't like hearing, is all the politics that are going on. Often times, I hear about alliances being forged over skype and nothing is being roleplayed out. Multiple chats are made to take down groups and factions, yet no action is actually being rped out. Folks, if you want to ally up and ROFLstomp people, please do. I love a good narrative, and what I hear a lot of the time is great stuff...if only it made it to the forums and not some chat room. Now, there is a fine line in coordination and plotting and just straight skipping the rp part. That's what's been happening lately, and this is me as the player asking for it to stop.
Close the skype window at times guys, click "Start New Topic" in the private or public roleplay forums and do what we all come to do.
RP, not skype politic.
