I don't really expect the moderation team to step in at this point, there simply isn't any history of the moderation team doing so, so I guess that is understandable. However, with all due respect, Haven has had a checkered past with moderation and the Security Council and its always ended with serious problems that moderators have had to step in and solve.
Now not only is it happening again, a member of the moderation team is the one stirring the pot! And on top of that that mod is trying to blame the target region for HIS actions. Surely this requires some sort of consideration.
Again, thanks for the responses.
As Reppy posted elsewhere, said Mod is acting as a player. We have no evidence that Mall has abused his position as a Mod when submitting this. He's so clean he squeaks.
As a player, in a political game, and in a section of the game that is meant to simulate international politics (Think of the real world Security Council in the Organization-That-Cannot-Be-Named and the shenanigans that it gets up to), he is perfectly inline with that.
RPers can counter with their own facts and statements.
A bit late to the party, but I would counter that this does constitute trolling, on the grounds that a player is specifically targeting a group that is both the least able to defend itself, and doing it in a manner explicitly designed to rile that group up. I should not be forced to involve myself in a portion of the game that I find not only dull as watching paint dry, but as moronic as juggling live nuclear weapons, just to preserve the portions of the game I do enjoy. I have opted out of this R/D stupidity. Do not permit another player to harass me by possibly destroying my region for his own amusement when I lack the means to defend myself. That is what this amounts to. Harassment by a member of the raiding "community", if you can describe a pack of trolls interested only in shattering the works of other as a community, targeted against the entirety of the roleplaying community. Yes, the target at this point is Haven. I used to be a resident of Haven. I am no longer, simply because my friends are no longer there. Allowing this sort of harassment to go forward sets a terrifying precedent, namely that roleplayers MUST participate in this gameplay shennanigans, or risk the destruction of their regions at the hands of a pack of petulant children who delight in their vandalism and harassment.
Gameplay and roleplay segregation has long been held as an unofficial status between groups. This proposal seeks to end this peaceful co-existence, and do it by willfully destroying anyone who doesn't play their game. If this is allowed to proceed, the consequences will be far reaching, and long lasting. We aren't gameplayers, and we have no desire to be. I ask that you not force us to play someone elses game, simply so that we can continue to play our own.
