Re: AWMBI - Discussion
I realized that by dragging Azure out of the hotel, as noted by DeMatt, I took away a good character development opportunity. This being my first PbP game I've ever GM'd for, I'm surprised I didn't make a huge mistake like this sooner.
I've never held a grudge against anyone except myself, but seeing someone argue over a game, my sub-par game at that, appeared absolutely ridiculous. And I couldn't fathom why anyone would get angry over such a thing, and thus I wanted the foolishness to stop, and never occur again. After what happened last time, I won't permit out of character attacks over my stupid game.
You can view my methods as a double standard if you wish, as if I hold some malicious, unfair intent. But the fact is, I don't. I never said I was the perfect GM, that every decision I made was going to make everyone happy, quite the opposite. I'm still a novice GM, so the most I could ever ask for is your patience with me. I try to find all the mistakes I made, the slime event being one of them, and make an attempt to better myself from them, so that I never make another mistake like that again.
I will never deny anyone the opportunity to play, so long as any problems you have are addressed to me in a mature manner, all in the attempt for me to make this game better of an experience for all of you. But, I'm prone to mistakes, and those mistakes might lessen the experience, but it is not the cause of other players, so they don't deserve criticism. Please limit all hatred, aggravation, irritation, vexation and annoyance towards me, and we'll all get along just fine.
Azure is back at the Inn, and may continue whenever she wishes.
Have fun.
