#57, "CF Soap Opera"
|
I think you have to liken CF (and the gaming/mudding community at large really) to a soap opera. There's always mad drama, someone cheating on someone else, gossip, lies, hurt feelings and a lot of over sensitivity. But above all, long lived soap operas have some change. Their cast of characters revolve, sometimes old characters taking breaks and coming back, sometimes old characters dying, and a lot of new characters keeping the plot fresh. (Think Khas getting hit by a car, Aarn getting cheated on and leaving the plot to go date his sister, and Ordasen slowly dying of a rather painful cancer!)
I think in a way you over dramatize what's going on, it's just a life cycle thing and a part of the game. With imms that have been around as long as most of the ones around here have, interest in the game fades, it becomes easier to remember the bad instead of the good when it's no longer fresh, new and exciting. Yes, it's really unfortunate that we lost three valuable imms in the last few months. Look back at how many imms have faded away throughout the game years and I think you'll see this is pretty much just the way things go.
Try and focus on the good - you'll get a lot more positive response then. If you don't see any good...well, I'm sorry.
