I guess as doom put it, the rule is so loose that I don't really understand why it needs to be a rule? Like who are the few people who spend 2-6 hours in the ooc room hurting?

Can't we just pull the few people who are doing that aside and tell them to politely not do that rather than impose confusing, vague server wide rules on the mass majority that don't do this?

If only the world worked that way... :lol:

Indeed. We have actually been telling people for months to stop behaviors which make it difficult for others to log in (OOC room spell parties!). Unfortunately, people still do it.

Of course yes, a mechanical solution to this is ideal, but until we implement that, please stop.

A mechanical implementation is not ideal, it's totally unnecessary. If people just used a bit of common sense and vacated the OOC room when it started to look a bit full and crazy, there'd be no trouble.

This whole thing is one big storm in a tea cup.

Mostly going to throw my lot in with Theorum and to some extent Whitefly. Acting like this is somehow a big deal and that it's important for the health of the community for you to have a room to mess around in that everyone has to come through when they log in is nonsensical. Just mess around in a different room that's out of the way if you're just chatting away out of character, it's really easy and not against the rules.

Or use Discord/IRC. You donuts.

It would just be for the spellcasting portion. Current track record, has, unfortunately, proven that to be necessary.

That's kind of the point, isn't it? People don't do that. They get to having fun and caught up in it. Nothing wrong with fun, but we DO have a whole server on which to have fun. :lol:

How often has the point been driven home though? I never knew there was any staff-side or widespread disagreement with people hanging out in the OOC room, I'm sure I'm not the only one who didn't realise the policy.

I want to trust our playerbase, I want to give the players a chance to show that they can go along with the rules without their hands being forced.

Excuse me, SCoD Staff, I do believe that your justification for making the new OOC ruling was that there is a Discord channel for OOC use.

Well, where is it?

Within 3 days of your new ruling you disenfranchised the SCoD Discord. Is this the sort of staff attitude we can expect moving into the future?

I'm disappointed to see that this conversation has turned so vitriolic. I think that we can all hold a civil conversation. . .

No to be rude, but to be rude.

What do you expect from a sensitive topic that got some folks all upset about, if not a lot of folks >.>

But not me, I just go with it :P no sense in complaining in something I can't change, rulings and such.

You, sir/ma'am/person/puppy, are both helpful and undermining my point. :tongue:

I guess my point was too poorly expressed. Until earlier today, there was a sticky. Right at the top of the page, next to the link for the Wiki and IRC. Then the disagreement between NZ and the staff took place, and they took the link down. The current link provided by Mr. O, while a nice gesture, was made despite the staff because, as NZ explained, the staff has pulled out of the Discord.

So, my point is this: The new rule was backed with the addendum that the Discord provided a venue for the OOC interaction that would no longer be taking place in the OOC Room. But now SCoD no longer has an endorsed Discord (the staff has pulled out and the link has been taken down.)

So, I for one, would like to see the staff respond to justifying their rule with a detour that they've turned their backs on.
