I'm coming back in for round two with sleep. I wont be as long this time.
1. I like aetius. Full stop. I dig the ic they have and ooc they all seem cool even if my time zone with them is awful and I cant interact with them much. What I stated was the overall feel of it from someone who doesn't know what is going on. Personally I don't mind how everything went and enjoyed my war with them. Was fun and managed to have cool IC moments. But imagine you lived in goldlight. You training doing your job just living life icly oocly your seeing the wars and stuff going on seeing some names from aetius all is good. Then the war breaks out and these pcs that are relatively fresh come out of the woodwork and beat up all your people and destroy your home. On a ooc level i can see where it may seem like your being targeted since there was also before that war a lot of occ talk on people not liking the republic and so on.
2. I actually did not like the republic oocly lol I am fine with alliances hell i have them icly on my character. But I will admit that the delphina and republic never fighting or having any form of skirmish that i know of was very weird from a ic standpoint. Given i know there was a lot of backroom shit going down probably to ensure shit was peaceful but that's also partly why people didn't like the republic. They didn't see that shit and it felt like oocly the republic was a barrier for any bad guy/netural/chaotic characters that wanted to do a little bad. I don't say delphina cause if I'm real I don't see many Delphina pcs now days(could also be a timezone thing for me again.) But goldlight was very active and all over the place.
3. This is also partly why I say being a bad guy sucks. With no bad guy settlement witches cant exist unless your lucky or want to battle chad your way into essence. Bad guys have to slowly go into hiding and trying to use disguises and stuff to exist which cool but there is no real place they can meet or do anything at. Hell even the underdark or whatever its called i seen good guys running around down there before actively hunting bad guys before. So its not like there is a safe place for them to gather or form up not to mention the things before where i mentioned them getting ran up on and like others said sometimes one bad cap is your death as a bad guy. If your a good guy the bad guys generally don't kill you. Every time i been capped as a good guy the bad guy was chill and talking it out with me and working up some cool story to go down or to improve my dev and such. As a bad guy im usually lucky as well but i have seen how that outcome is very quick to change sometimes and witnessed it first hand as well.
Anyway My second rant is over. I may come back for round three or at least read through the rest of the replies. Its a good time to vent your thoughts and give your opinions and get others. So let it out and share your thoughts on everything.
PS Extra round- Can we please get more admins that can look at event plans! I am tired of trying to run events for people and having to tell them they might not get to go on it cause for some reason my event plans get no replies. I don't know why that is but i would actually like to dm some events again but so far no events get approved or denied just limbo and if denied i would actually like to know why so it can be fixed. I had one event last year that i was trying to run for someone that i posted and i bumped it for nearly 4 months almost every week and it never was replied to lol that's a little crazy. And yes i did dm people the link to get it looked at.
