@L-B-Heuschkel My pure point was a peeve: If I look at a game like that, as a new player, I feel like I have no entry point.
I make no judgements. I mean no disparagement at all, in any real way.
Just a peeve. My own habits. In a game where everyone’s semi-idle on the web, I wouldn’t even know how to get started.

@L-B-Heuschkel I don’t think anyone has said or implied that. I’ve only seen people stating that primarily asynch games aren’t for them. Based on Keys’ success there is clearly an audience and a need for it, but it’s good for both pro- and non-asynchers to know what style of game it is ahead of time. I don’t have any negative perceptions about those players as people, and I haven’t seen anyone else say they do either.
It’s possible that the term “red flag” is what’s causing that perception, because that’s usually associated with a “bad” thing, but in this case I really think it’s just being used as “knowing I can’t play the pace I prefer means this won’t be a good fit for me.” In which case, everyone’s time is better served if they don’t try to make it fit.
-
@L-B-Heuschkel You are literally implying that people with a preference other than yours who express that opinion are bad by putting words in their mouth about non-EST elitists.
They want to go to an ares game and not see a bunch of private scenes with a preference for live scenes. While that might not fit with your game, that doesn’t mean the option shouldn’t be available at all in ares code.
-
I’m frustrated sometimes by it feeling like it’s being implied I don’t do enough to facilitate the hobby for people in other timezones.
But then I try to remember it’s not really about me personally.
-
@L-B-Heuschkel yes, that’s what we’re all saying, nailed it
-
@tsar I know I do what I can, and I’m content to do my best, heh.

We have beaten this horse so badly that it’s not just dead, it’s mince meat. Seriously, every single time someone brings up this subject it somehow immediately turns to them saying non-US or people with chronic disabilities suck or shouldn’t be in the hobby. No one said that!!! It wasn’t until you @L-B-Heuschkel brought it up that it even became a thing.
Listen. Sometimes you have to realize that your problems are yours alone and not everyone else’s respond to fix. My problem is that I can’t play async scenes - I lose the thread too easily, I can’t remember what we are doing and frankly I can’t even remember who my character is. That’s my problem! It’s not anyone else’s responsibility to fix. There are currently no ares games that suite my play style and so instead of being on here like omg you guys are saying I suck!!! I’m just like well I guess I won’t play right now and that’s cool.

the real key is just to not be able to play at all anymore, because you know, vague life reasons.
but also always remind people that you’re around.
hi guys!

@Meg never RPing is a perfectly valid RP style
-
Seeing a bunch of private scenes is just visual clutter for me, it doesn’t have to have anything to do with how much private or public RP is happening. It’s that it’s visual clutter of information that is irrelevant.
-
I’m not EST but am definitely elitist and a snob. Where do I fit?
let it be a challenge to you

If you’re on west coast best coast you can be part of the PST gang! We are the most elite and the most right

EXCUSE you. East Coast is OBVIOUSLY better. After all, we’ve got all the hurricanes!

@Pyrephox EAST COAST BEAST COAST!

@Pyrephox who in their right mind would want torrential flooding rains when they could live in a place where the very ground trembles beneath them and has the potential for splitting open to reveal the depths of hell beneath?! Clearly west coast is best coast, but at least we can both agree that we aren’t in… ewwwww, central US with their silly tornados and potatoes

Look, I’m in South Carolina. For the last few years, we’ve gotten hurricanes AND earthquakes. We’ve got it all.
But yes, still better than the Centrals.

@Pyrephox and @Snackness you guys only think you’re superior because you have water. Psssh who needs that to live?!
