Gentle Reminder
Posted by Smile on 08/28/21
This isn't calling out anyone in particular but just something staff wish to say to the playerbase after last week's GM events:
This was the first unambiguous loss the Compact has faced IC since the beginning of the game, and we know IC emotions will be running high about that. It won't be the last, and they won't always be preventable, only able to be mitigated. Just as victories won't always be total, and some might have significant downsides, especially as the metaplot arc proceeds. We understand PCs will have a variety of thoughts and feelings about these events, now and in the future, but please remember to be kind to fellow players - harassment of leaders because they 'couldn't stop' or 'didn't prevent' the disasters or tragedies which will happen, now and in the future, is not appropriate, and will be treated like any other player harassment, including bannings. Leader PCs take on a lot of stress; don't make it worse.
