The purpose of this thread is for guided discussion about the recent events with the Regency. Please stay on topic...while BSE has a loose stake in these events, they are not the center of this topic.

Not to mention I cannot -STAND- the terrible English.

It amazes me how the community still lets brand new mouthy asshats come in and ruin things. I know that years past, I should've been given a sound whipping for my 'OMG BADGES' post. I wasn't. I learned that I could be a loud asshat to get things accomplished because people didn't pay attention to you either way, and I didn't find out that was the wrong way for YEARS and years. Negative attention is not the way to go, nor is paying attention to people that seek attention in a negative way. Shame on all of you for letting things degrade this far.

Anyone here oldie enough to remember joking about Molly's guild title, how it was too hard to cram the things in there? DtchssElfAmbsdr=B=[H*G]? Unfortunately, many people in this community have taken that to an extreme; trying to cram as many titles and as much fluff into their character as possible. Notice I say 'fluff', not ROLEPLAY DEPTH and CHARACTER DEFINITION as you should be aiming for. From the outsider looking in perspective, I see a lot of people either trying to destroy a roleplay organization for no reason, people making drama for no reason, or some people trying to cram 'Regent of Britannia' onto their already overinflated title of compensation. No, this isn't a bash on everyone that expressed interest in becoming regent; this is a bash on anyone that knowingly or unknowingly furthered the confusion of the situation and didn't work to clarify after making a mistake (note that ACCIDENTAL is excluded from knowingly/unknowingly; I define accident as the one making an accident accepting that they made a mistake and worked to fix it). This is also a bash on anyone that ripped into someone else like it was their fault that the situation was confusing or was similarly rude.

I'll stop here because everyone reading this either agreed or disagreed with my post one sentence in anyways and there isn't any point in further explanation.

I think I have the answer to all these problems,

Sir Robert, bring forth your dodo.

All Hail King Dodo!

meh to me this is just another constant struggle of IC roleplay vs OOC reactions. and we all suck at winning that battle, seriously.

If you want to have an IC meeting like such, then try and hold another one, and make it well known it will be IC only!

If you want to be OOC use IRC or something.

best cure to any problem like this is throw it out the window, get in game, roleplay, roleplay, roleplay. Even if you think it's stupid, there are others who roleplay with you and they think your roleplay is stupid.

upstart calling himself regent? to quote Joffrey from game of thrones "Treason, is still treason, Ser Illyn Payne, bring me his head"

Now I have not been involved in the regency for a few years now, (not at all for OOC reasons, my character became undead) but from what I see on the boards and here via the grape-vine issues always center around the same group of role-players for the same reasons.

It's the same game we've seen for years, different players.

We have people who for whatever reason OOCly are inclined to desire control so much that in poor RP they act in a way not true to character or Sosaria, use ICQ and other means to propagate dark plans.

Perhaps, if kept ICly and done correctly a "rebellion" against the Regency would be alot of fun and heck I may revive one of my "good" characters to take a side but this uprising is not from my understanding for the betterment of role-play or the community, yes the community as I have never recognized personally a separation between ARPC and FAR.

The people or guild/guilds who usually are responsible for these OOC-cloack and dagger plotting are usually the same who make fools of themselves ICly by acting in a way that is rude and ill-mannered out of character usually in a childish fit of rage.

That being said...I point the finger at no one as I am not involved but I will say this is another proof as to why we need standards for guilds to meet before we accept them into our community, we also need to realize that when these same people who are not on par with how we do things here on Atlantic make insane claims over cities, titles or religions we ignore them...

How do we RP it? I live in New York City I see plenty of crazy people on street corners claiming to be my messiah or trying to lead a revolt against our government. I ignore them...

In conclusion, I like the concept of the Regency and have never had an issue with any of it's current members aside from the few who seem to be causing all the OOC chaos and animosity...if we all have a problem with the same people why are they still considered a part of this community?

Call me a fascist if you will but ban their IPs, add the entire guilds, memberlists and all to any sort of ban-thread we have, all respectable RP guilds un-war them and perhaps move the regency meetings for two months or so and they will eventually go away...

Finally, focus on the greater issue in this thread, all personal attacks and debates please take to private mediums as it's simply going to confuse/anger and welcome the opinions of people no way involved.

Been trying to keep track of all this Regency stuff. Not sure what the deal is. Moonglow is not on either side, FAR or ARPC, we are on the side of RP. That means that MTC still recognizes Porthos as Regent until he resigns. Why you ask? Because he was sort of there first.

So to make it simple...

Porthos is Regent. That is pretty much it. I am not saying you all can't be Regency and what not, but like, the other was there first...MTC isn't rocking any boats. We are gonna rock it like we have been. We aren't picking the FAR side, we are just going with what we know.

Maybe you could all work together so that no one has to choose a side in the long run...

The Great Dodo, in his infinite wisdom does not meddle with he petty affairs of human politics.

Personally, I don't have a clue what's going on here with the regency and whatnot, and will remain actively ignorant both IC and OOC. *grin* At least as noone violates any forum rules.

And Dodo shares my sentiment about "ruling" you people: A few years ago when most good aligned rper were Regency, I was asked if I would run for Regent. My response still holds true: "I'm insane, not stupid."

Still, mucho luvs to those who do... Rather you, than me. Wink

I've stated my OOC opinion where it needed to be stated, and I went to the meeting in Skara...(was very confused how to work ooc/rp).

In Britain, I was totally RP & took the character I'd started out with in the first place..her mind and view on politics. From what I saw during the hour I was there, it was 100% rp and WOW, for the first time in a long time, I found a political "meeting" very much fun this go around.
Best part: Positive stuff actually got accomplised and it gave chars that might not normally see ea other, a chance to mingle in their own unique ways.

By Role-playing it, I've discoverd (took me a while because Im slow that way) that I won't have to wonder or worry about ooc ploys, puppets, & pompash behavior. So the best way, at least I've found that works for me, is as was already stated above with wiser words than mine on how to handle the confusion.... NO PeePee, All RP.

QUESTION: After the voting for the nominated candidates, will there be a second vote of like the top two that win the first round?

QUESTION #2: Will this be an ig "show of hands" vote to keep the ooc cheating to a minimum? If not, then what is the voting system planned?

I'm still just amused that everyone seems to have missed the part about 'must be a loyalist to become regent' and all that jazz. My advice to the nominees: might be a good idea to learn about the position before you run for it. Learning the constitution might be a good start, especially when the process of becoming regent is listed there.

Either way, popcorn's up, I'm going to continue to be astounded and confused from the sidelines.

I must have missed this whole thread...

Were people applying for nominations for Regent without knowing the constitution of the governing body they were applying to lead?

Very George W of yas!
