Re: [Audyssey] Miriani player base

2012-09-15 Thread Lori Duncan


Hello Meka and others, I still play Miriani,but to be totally honestI am 
sickto death of certain characters, namely pirates,who think they know it 
alland have feable excusesfor doing what they do, like stunning, stranding 
and stealing droids.  I agree totally that the staff should do more to stop 
these trouble makers, how are you supposed to play a game if you're stunned 
for up to 12 hours, it's all very wellfor them to say go play something 
else, but that sort of lazy attitude is driving players away.  I too play 
sc, but am finding the change from Miriani harder, ie when I salvage, 
there's more to it, and I don't have a good head for numbers.  The only good 
thing about Miriani now is that I have made some really great friends, and 
we still keep in contact either on one mud or another, or through skype.  I 
hope though a member of Miriani staff sees this email, maybe if enough of us 
club together we can make them sit up and take notice.  I had my droid 
stolen last night, am still mad about it as I'd done nothing to deserve 
being attacked and stunned.


I too love rp and creative writing Meka, if you want to have a chat about 
it, feel free to write me off list lori_dunca...@hotmail.com

[Audyssey] Miriani player base

2012-09-14 Thread Meka White, LMP
An older email asked why Miriani's player base has gone down. I cannot speak 
for others, but as a former Miriani player, I can tell you why I no longer 
play.

The game says that it is rp-enforced, and for a long time, the staff 
enforced it wonderfully.  These days, anything goes and if your ship happens 
to get blown up, or someone stuns you on a ship for hours because they are 
just having a bad day in real life, then there is nothing that you as a 
player can do about it.  You're told to suck it up. 'It's the way I play my 
character! Don't judge me!  It's how a pirate acts!'  Without going in to 
detail about just how much bull that is, I will simply state that it is 
annoying.  It isn't just that something in game has happened, but it's 
preventing you from continuing to play.  There is nothing that you can do 
when a team of griefers-and that is exactly what these problem players 
are-decide that it is their duty to pull their apparent rank and become 
excessive about what they do.

It is difficult to deduce what is or is not appropriate role-play on Miriani
