Trouble at Mill - A Rant

So I went on the forums this morning to find everyone talking about how the Bar needs to be sorted.

Again.

I don't see why we bother to talk about it. We have no power to make and proper changes in the forums, and we really have only ourselves to blame for the RP explosion that caused all this. It's really too late in the tournament to even try and revert back to the talking-heads RP style, and even if we do pull it off it won't save the bar's repuation one bit. Everyone will still remember it as being full of creepy losers who get their characters married to one another instead of cheering on the best cyborg animal. And thinking of it like that, it really makes me want to put of RP'ing next year, because at this stage no-one knows what's going to happen to the forums at the end of the tournament. Will it get a clean-out? Will it be archived, or reformatted? No-one's about to tell us any time soon, and it worries me.

Honestly, the only way I can see this getting sorted is if the Major and Gravitas come in and do a bit of rearranging, as well as putting down some guidlines for us to follow. But, as I so tactfully put it one time, the mod's official stance on those who frequent the bar is "Fuck 'em. Have a burger". Or, in EnforcerWolf's case, "Fuck 'em, hope they burn". So the only thing we can hope for is that something gets sorted out at the start of next torunament, because the Major is too nice a person to not ignore the situation we've got. But when he does, what will he do? I'm seeing some of us being banned for some reason or other, or probated at the very least - and on that list is myself, AtJ, Del and Erebus for the whole marriage shenanigans and Cornwind for being a drama hog. JRM can whine all he wants about the old days, but unless the mods step in we're going to have to put up with what we've got.

Anyway, to cheer you all up about the rant, here's a jazzy Nyan Cat. I know David Wulf likes jazz, so this is his cup of tea.
