-finds a chair to plop on-

Mingus (Jul 26, 2011 6:17:20 PM)
Alright so.. was going over the application of yours.. I'm curious on a few things.

CowboyGhostie OOC (Jul 26, 2011 6:17:36 PM)
-nod- ask away.

Mingus (Jul 26, 2011 6:17:59 PM)
You do pretty much know this means that Jareth kind of takes a back burner on things to get things done, right?

CowboyGhostie OOC (Jul 26, 2011 6:18:29 PM)
Yeah. I'd considered dropping him entirely.

CowboyGhostie OOC (Jul 26, 2011 6:19:03 PM)
Still not sure if I will or not.

Mingus (Jul 26, 2011 6:19:52 PM)
This is a pretty thankless job and about ever decision you make will be read into the wrong ways, over critizied or even thought of completely "evil" in attempts to crush the players and such. how will you be handling this?

CowboyGhostie OOC (Jul 26, 2011 6:22:22 PM)
Well there will be some folks I expect it from, but i'd rather win over rest. I find talking it out levelly aborts alot of the bs-flak that one gets in a position. Even if it's just hearing people out. Kinda like dealing with customers on the phone, they just wanna be heard.

CowboyGhostie OOC (Jul 26, 2011 6:24:09 PM)
(phone)\

Mingus (Jul 26, 2011 6:25:08 PM)
One of the things i'm trying to do is let any of the blues run there own storylines to make things work.

CowboyGhostie OOC (Jul 26, 2011 6:25:15 PM)

Mingus (Jul 26, 2011 6:25:27 PM)
What kind of plotlines are you looking at that are under the "Mystic"

CowboyGhostie OOC (Jul 26, 2011 6:26:38 PM)
Directly, I had nothing yet in mind. But.. there need to be some small fry running around, so people get used to doing things and cooperating with each other.

CowboyGhostie OOC (Jul 26, 2011 6:29:03 PM)
So.. likely a creepy crawlie here, a gremlin there, things that make people go "gah! *fix*"

Mingus (Jul 26, 2011 6:29:25 PM)
Yeah.. WD likes to handle Nephandi style plot lines.. I enjoy using Spirits and Techies.

Mingus (Jul 26, 2011 6:29:41 PM)
okay.. I'm gonna cut to a big thing I got in my mind

CowboyGhostie OOC (Jul 26, 2011 6:29:45 PM)
*nod*

Mingus (Jul 26, 2011 6:32:59 PM)
I've been talking to people off chat.. and some have talked about how they have tried to get into the game and found the clique issues on that chat. how do you intend to try and help curb this?

CowboyGhostie OOC (Jul 26, 2011 6:36:00 PM)
well some of the clique issues we have aren't going to go away, because they're based in ooc dislike, but the only work around is to coax people that will play into playing together. Whether by circumstance or design, thats what the small fry are for. I'll probably only be able to link up people a couple at a time. ...the really hard part is going to be making sure the new folks actually get a chance to participate in it before the established ones hop in and just solve everything.

Mingus (Jul 26, 2011 6:37:54 PM)
Are there any players you can site as problem players and why?

CowboyGhostie OOC (Jul 26, 2011 6:38:24 PM)
I have suspicions, but.. um.. brb cat infestation

Mingus (Jul 26, 2011 6:39:16 PM)
*laughs* I understand the cat thing.. I've had them off and on in life

CowboyGhostie OOC (Jul 26, 2011 6:40:57 PM)

CowboyGhostie OOC (Jul 26, 2011 6:41:12 PM)
(poor things in heat and she's buggin me and mom)

Mingus (Jul 26, 2011 6:41:17 PM)
ouch.

Mingus (Jul 26, 2011 6:43:23 PM)
anyway.. you have suspicions but?

CowboyGhostie OOC (Jul 26, 2011 6:46:23 PM)
Alright.. where was I.. yeah.. um.. as for problem players, well.. I know where some of the clique behavior is coming from, but I've asked alot of people on that subject out of game, and the general consensus is we can't make them change. If the circles want to be upset and pissy about thigns, there really isn't much that can be done except work around them and hope they pull their heads outta you know where. Maybe if they can stop being so frustrated and defensive, they'll come around. I don't know if I'd call those problem-players though. *thinks for a min*

CowboyGhostie OOC (Jul 26, 2011 6:48:17 PM)
The only actual problem that comes to mind is QF, simply because they are determined to believe that their interpretation of the rules is something no one else can touch, because that's only our interpretation. I hope she doesn't give you guys the same sort of lines as she was giving me as a player.

Mingus (Jul 26, 2011 6:48:39 PM)
qf?

CowboyGhostie OOC (Jul 26, 2011 6:48:53 PM)
Saffron's player. We've argued about her arcane before.

Mingus (Jul 26, 2011 6:50:04 PM)
mmmmm, odd as it is. Saffron's player and I don't argue. Arguements on the rules hit but understandable.

Mingus (Jul 26, 2011 6:50:34 PM)
specially when its provided that you have blues to back.. so I guess i could see the point in some cases

CowboyGhostie OOC (Jul 26, 2011 6:50:51 PM)
I have a sneaking suspicion she'll avoid me like the plague anyways.

Mingus (Jul 26, 2011 6:52:09 PM)
probably..

CowboyGhostie OOC (Jul 26, 2011 6:58:45 PM)
test

Mingus (Jul 26, 2011 6:58:50 PM)
still here

Mingus (Jul 26, 2011 6:58:55 PM)
multiple people poking

CowboyGhostie OOC (Jul 26, 2011 6:58:57 PM)
whew, okay was wondering if i was ghosting

Mingus (Jul 26, 2011 6:59:33 PM)
okay.. so if you had your preference.. which would it be.. ast or st?

CowboyGhostie OOC (Jul 26, 2011 7:00:34 PM)
i could handle either, i know the system rather well, though i think i still need to weed out some of the 2nd ed stuff, given the rules around here.

Mingus (Jul 26, 2011 7:01:49 PM)
yeah.. we aren't using 2nd ed.

CowboyGhostie OOC (Jul 26, 2011 7:01:58 PM)
exactly -nod-

Mingus (Jul 26, 2011 7:02:16 PM)
I'll be honest.. the rason the mage venue is in issues is because at the moment Wd is wrapped up in life and I'm trying to beat back burn out from trying ot handle everything.

Mingus (Jul 26, 2011 7:03:38 PM)
Having another ST around to help do Storylines and such would be REALLY great.

CowboyGhostie OOC (Jul 26, 2011 7:04:57 PM)
-nod- It's tough to handle everything for a smaller chronicle, twice as tough for a larger one, makes multitasking hard when people tag you with questions in the middle of other stuff.

Mingus (Jul 26, 2011 7:05:27 PM)
oooohh gods yes

CowboyGhostie OOC (Jul 26, 2011 7:05:32 PM)
hehe

Mingus (Jul 26, 2011 7:06:17 PM)
At the moment a system for "player ran scenes" is being worked on. Nothing for like. "you get a node or such" or ultra powered. just story. Its being worked on so that it'll get submitted to Dastai to see if she'll sign off on it.

Mingus (Jul 26, 2011 7:06:49 PM)
now comes a few of the questions I always hate to ask but they are ones that need to be done

CowboyGhostie OOC (Jul 26, 2011 7:06:52 PM)
-nod- I hope she does. We've had players run stuff before, small stuff, personal enemies, the like. Got interesting.

CowboyGhostie OOC (Jul 26, 2011 7:07:00 PM)
have at

Mingus (Jul 26, 2011 7:08:02 PM)
Before when we had a talk at a point, we were kind of head to head in a debate on the matter of ICA=ICC. so with that coming up I think there is the issue at hand about the "sudden vacation" that lasted a few days as soon as plot came out.. Shoudl I expect anything like that again if I put up to get you your blues?

Mingus (Jul 26, 2011 7:15:23 PM)
hello?

CowboyGhostie OOC (Jul 26, 2011 7:15:34 PM)
That was, largely a matter of personal frustration because I don't feel you understood what I was trying to tell you. Largely that it wasn't purely ICA/ICC, it was outright OOC avoidance and drive by potshots. A rivalry I could've handled just fine, that would be fun, but that wasn't that sort of thing. You announced plot after I left to clear my head, far as I can remember. I only step back like that when i realize I'm not getting through, and i'm getting to invested in it anyways. I don't expect I'll do that often.

Mingus (Jul 26, 2011 7:16:05 PM)
Alright,

Mingus (Jul 26, 2011 7:16:30 PM)
If you get the ST blues and I put you up in power, you know that you can't techinically touch your own sheet anymore right?

CowboyGhostie OOC (Jul 26, 2011 7:16:36 PM)
Yes.

CowboyGhostie OOC (Jul 26, 2011 7:17:44 PM)
I have to go through you, or wd, as is proper for any player.

Mingus (Jul 26, 2011 7:18:23 PM)
well.. atm.. its pretty much me

Mingus (Jul 26, 2011 7:18:37 PM)
WD is still on AST.. so i've had to handle all sheets and sanctioning.

CowboyGhostie OOC (Jul 26, 2011 7:18:43 PM)
-nod-

CowboyGhostie OOC (Jul 26, 2011 7:18:49 PM)
i see.

Mingus (Jul 26, 2011 7:19:09 PM)
Tohunga had her on a "Limit" for AST for re-evaluation

Mingus (Jul 26, 2011 7:19:20 PM)
I gotta poke the admins to see if that will stand up

CowboyGhostie OOC (Jul 26, 2011 7:19:24 PM)
-nod-

Mingus (Jul 26, 2011 7:20:15 PM)
As it is, I do tend to trust the runing of plots to people and see how they go. as to the 3 strike policy. I'm more of a "be safe when can, but if they REALLY screw up, whack them"

CowboyGhostie OOC (Jul 26, 2011 7:20:31 PM)
heh

CowboyGhostie OOC (Jul 26, 2011 7:21:54 PM)
I just don't like killing people if they can learn from the experience.

CowboyGhostie OOC (Jul 26, 2011 7:22:02 PM)
...of course, Darwin has laws for a reason.

Mingus (Jul 26, 2011 7:22:05 PM)
I agree.. trust me

Mingus (Jul 26, 2011 7:22:28 PM)
the techie scene.. If Heyoka hadn't done some fo the stuff and the hackers hadn't done other things.. oh god.. it would of been messy

CowboyGhostie OOC (Jul 26, 2011 7:22:43 PM)
oh jeeze, i know

CowboyGhostie OOC (Jul 26, 2011 7:23:19 PM)
i was unsurprised at what i heard went down.

CowboyGhostie OOC (Jul 26, 2011 7:23:34 PM)
was still a near thing, i hear

Mingus (Jul 26, 2011 7:23:35 PM)
yeah.. if Heyoka hadn't been healing.. I'd of had 3 or 4 dead PCs

CowboyGhostie OOC (Jul 26, 2011 7:23:43 PM)
-nod-

Mingus (Jul 26, 2011 7:23:56 PM)
now the the other question

Mingus (Jul 26, 2011 7:24:06 PM)
Is there any issue with me or slight of issue that you have in mind?

Mingus (Jul 26, 2011 7:24:43 PM)
I ask this because I'd rather not have someone workin on the team who is trying to hide the fact of being pissed off with me or dislike. I do try to like and keep a front

CowboyGhostie OOC (Jul 26, 2011 7:26:10 PM)
Nothing I think we can't work out. There are rulings I disagree with, and sometimes I have trouble communicating with you because it does seem sometimes that you take proposals as attacks on your judgement. I'm a collaborator, stuff like that makes me wanna tear out my hair.

Mingus (Jul 26, 2011 7:27:14 PM)
I can understand that point. I do try hard to take questions on my calls at time and will debate out the reasons or differences. when I'm wrong I'll admit it and adjust rules.

Mingus (Jul 26, 2011 7:29:20 PM)
would you be willing to meet twice a month for a ST meeting?

Mingus (Jul 26, 2011 7:29:29 PM)
and is all the issue between you and WD dead and done?

CowboyGhostie OOC (Jul 26, 2011 7:29:49 PM)
-nod- Yes, and.. we've agreed to start over.

Mingus (Jul 26, 2011 7:30:05 PM)
Alright.. I don't want it coming back up later on and causing a split.

CowboyGhostie OOC (Jul 26, 2011 7:30:14 PM)
I don't either. x_x

CowboyGhostie OOC (Jul 26, 2011 7:30:43 PM)
Brb, letting dog out

Mingus (Jul 26, 2011 7:31:03 PM)
no probs

CowboyGhostie OOC (Jul 26, 2011 7:32:45 PM)
back

Mingus (Jul 26, 2011 7:33:54 PM)
alright... I've made my recommendatoin, we will have to wait on what the Admin's say at this point, but I hope things work out

Mingus (Jul 26, 2011 7:33:59 PM)
thank you for your time CG
