User blog comment:Nduke/A Problem/@comment-3220924-20130409200320

Okay, I think it's time for me to be the voice of reason here. Nduke, the first rule is unnecessary, and the second/third rules are pretty obvious.

Listen guys; these roleplay blogs are making people think that's all we do on chat. We, for some reason, make a lot of blogs about the drama when in reality, it isn't even that bad. Yeah, we have some fights, but all these blogs about "being done with roleplaying" is giving a bad representation of what chat is about. It's driving people away. I think what we need to do is fix up our IRC-wiki and put a link to it up on that header. That way, it's easy to access and we can put blogs about whatever on there; whether it's a comment about our behavior or simply a time/date about the next roleplay.

And that's just what's obvious. Our main problem with roleplaying seems to stem from the fact that hosts simply cannot take it. Furthermore, you guys seem to get really riled up when something happens during a roleplay, and the mob mentality latches onto one person and blames them. So, all we need are three relatively simple rules. And seriously, guys. Stop taking roleplays so seriously. They're made to have fun, not cause drama. If you didn't get to play, don't scream in chat and cry about it. If it didn't work out, don't scream at a person and blame them and cry about it. Get a grip.
 * Being a host is tough, do not host if you do not work well under pressure.
 * Stop blaming one person when something fails, it makes that person feel bad and it makes you look crazy. No one needs pre-pubescent virgin boys screaming at them over the internet.
 * You have admin powers in the IRC. Use them. If one person is spamming/not behaving, kick them - don't just scream and quit the roleplay.
