Good lord, how can anybody be annoyed by a stupid freakin' disco ball?
Oh no my toon is dancing, oh the drama of it.
In other news the new ESD is looking nice, I always wanted it to be bigger and more up to date looking vs the current small out of date Walmart ESD we have as of now.
Read through the first 15 pages or so, and I find it funny how the forum mods seem to take more action than the GMs. Page fifteen looks like Ashkray took a giant white-out marker to it.
@repetitiveepic: Would it kill you to combine all your points into one post? There's a multi-quote button.

Technically it was plum tyvm :P (though it looks pink lol)

Alrighty then, since we're playing the age card, I turned 52 last month.
- The new ESD, while nicer looking, is just window dressing. Meh. A new coat of paint on a jalopy does not magically turn it into a Ferrari. There is more to a Ferrari than two coats of Cino Rossi.
- I have no objections to people RPing. I RP. While I am not a zealot about it, I do enjoy it.
- Some people playing STO don't like RP. Just like some people don't like playing Klink.
- I usually do not, as a rule, use Disco Balls around people I don't know or in public areas. I highly resent any implication to the contrary. Regardless of how oblique it may be.
- As I stated in previous posts, there are more than enough ways to RP without drawing attention. While I'd like a better policing of the game, I can see where such would be problematic at best and downright aggravating at worst.
- I dislike people demanding I play this game a certain way in a certain manner when they ARE NOT affiliated or employed by pwe/cryptic. Reason? Because I do not do so repeatedly in public. For me to make these sorts of peremptory demands upon complete strangers would be rude and ill mannered. It also smells very strongly of disrespect for those whose viewpoint differs from mine. I make a reasonable effort to follow the game ToS. While I am hopeful others will do so as well, I am not naive enough to expect this to be the case all of the time. Nor do I expect someone from pwe/cryptic to come running ASAP because Little Billy is using bad words on the playground.
I am looking forward to the new ESD somewhat. I do go there from time to time. I do not expect others to bow before me when I do so because I have played the game longer than they have or because I have been a Star Trek fan longer than they have or because I am more important than they are.
There are a great many things about STO I dislike. There are a great many people playing STO whose actions are not what I think they should be. Whenever either of these occur, I check my Man Card. Then, I either ignore it or move to someplace else. When I cannot do so, I simply ignore whatever it is. Without drama or hysterics or teeth gnashing. When the trolls fail to get a reaction, they get bored and move on.
Yes, it really is this simple, people.
^^^^^ This. A thousand times this. Do your own thing and ignore those YOU consider to be trolls. The man is right. It really is that simple.
STO: Where men are men and the women probably are too.
I support the Star Trek Battles channel.
I've been playing since the F2P launch and I've never even heard stories of GM's showing up in game.
For a while there was a GM hosting hide-and-seek games on various maps with prizes (nothing great). She eventually had to stop and I haven't seen or even heard a GM since.

I remember that too. Never heard about GM since then either.

Bold font QFT. Some would have the roleplaying community move their operations off of social zones, or endure intentional trolling. In a way, that is demanding others to play on their terms. Which, might I add, is downright arrogant.

Some people must have had some truly horrible experiences. I have never found the chats there to be any worse than the forums. Certainly nothing that has gotten me as worked up as the OP.
Also, I haven't read the full thread yet. Have the disco balls been called as bad as molestation again yet?

Everyone is different and we all come with different tolerances. For some, certain topics are absolutely forbidden, but those same topics could be easily ignored by others.
