#4573, "Outlanders"


          

I thought they were fun too, my only concern is that the philosophy and the powers don;t seem to jive. I expressed this in Therisa's deletion post and can only hope that I did so in a way that was well recieved by the IMM staff. If anyone wanted me to express those opinions again or elaborate on them I'd be happy to, but it seemed that none of the IMM staff was remotely interested in hearing the opinions of those who had just played Outlanders for any length of time (even though most of us came to the same conclusions, without ever discussing it amongst each other).

I agree that people resist change. It is part of the human condition. But another thing which is pretty common is the "my **** doesn't stink" attitude expressed or implied by many of the IMM staff. Yes I know you work hard and are not paid, and I love you all for it. But that doesn't mean that every good idea that does get implemented is flawless.

And yes, I know you watch and make revisions as you see then needed, I just feel like oftentimes this shouldn;t be an entirely behind-the-scenes act. Sometimes when a player expresses an opinion, all they need is an IMM to say "Thanks for the feedback, we are keeping an eye on it and will change it if we think it is needed." Then you can disregard what they said and they won't be any the wiser, and will feel better about life.
