Valid points aside, its disappointing that people feel a need to infer failure or weakness in any genuine attempt by an Immortal to contribute to them game.
Yes the matter could have been handled differently and yes there are lessons to be learned by all staff concerned. However, continuing to argue a point when the concern raised has been addressed as best it can be and compunding that by descending into personal flaming achieves nothing but harm.
Mele, I know how much you value the pregnancy roleplay and I understand your intentions in posting, but sometimes we just have to hold our hands up and say 'whoops'.
Selveem, I appreciate your in-built desire to champion the cause of every player adversely affected by a rule or decision, but sometimes you need to recognise when waving that banner is just your own ego and not a positive contribution to the MUD.
This whole issue has turned into something it isn't and all you've collectively managed to achieve is to make Immortals feel that such work is wasted or too fraught with recrimination to be worth the effort.
The previous discussion and resulting Help File on who what and how to buy from Aurora's came about because players blatantly abused it. It is not pleasant to have to introduce or enforce such rules and they can not perfectly cover all situations, but if all players held to the spirit of the game we wouldn't need to have them.
We do not lock or move or delete posts any more so this pleasant little outing will remain for all to see. I'd hate for new players to the game to think that this was a common type of thread.
I also strongly advise that no-one elects to disagree with anything I've posted here as I have plenty of dirt to throw...
(and for all the tone deaf out there, that was a joke)
(maybe...)
unless this is only for certain other preggos? specific preggos in the preggo club??? or ...lol something like that I guess I will log my preggo with the loot and go see??
Um... my card was declined at Auroras...maybe we could open up a sears???
