Now I'm sure a lot of you have a lot of questions such as
"Why is it closed?"
"Is it gone forever?"
"Will it come back?"
Well I will start top to bottom. We are closed simply because of the lack of DMing, Lack of players, and to be very honest, with no offense to any of you. The OpenRPG community isn't that great. ORPG community wants too much, expresses childish behavior (I will go further into that), throws temper tantrums when things don't go there way, is WAY too worried about being polite; to the point where it helps no one, and of course player quality.
Now all that I will explain; Players seem to want too much. They go to a steam punk setting; and somehow they expect sword and sorcy and no guns or technology. They don't want steam punk, they wan't fantasy. It's borderline trolling for someone to be here and cause a shit storm of rage.
Players are also very childish, Jam has some issues but honestly a HUGE freak out but he isn't as bad as Nalei. Nalei is an amazing individual; me and tortilla have spoken of it. Basically we all came to the conclusion she is a whiny wanna be know it all (she actually doesn't know shit which is funny to me). It appears she had been private messaging people to not play here; requesting and begging them not to. Now if we had a "No 12 years olds rule" she would be banned from Naelvich; because that kind of behavior is childish and petty, to be entirely honest and without offending; and if it is offending; good You deserve to be offended.
I mostly type this so everyone is aware she is out there and just spreading that shit, which is bullshit and to show how childish and petty (apparently) adults can get.
Moving on from that; it seems players on the OpenRPG take things too personally. Heres an example, Hoovybodybags got hit with warp touched. He became permanently blind. Now, 90% of players would have bitched and moaned and cried. Hoovy didn't he took it like a man, and did even better! He made it part of his RP. It's just a new challenge; you shouldn't fret over failure. Success only ends things, Failure however makes a world of possibilities. In other words everyone wants their character to be god. Kind of the same problem with Natie back on black marches who fell in love with her monster so much she gave her self the illusion that it was god even though it was only CR23 and anyone of the demon lords could kill it with a blink of an eye; but thats not the point. Point is, YOU ARE NOT GOD, AND YOU NEVER WILL BE. Your characters (In some cases "For the most part") are MORTAL. Simply mortal, they eat, drink, breathe air, grow old, and die. So as they say on the internet "Why u mad brah?". Stop being mad and deal with it.
Next was problem with characters and players. I would like to thank the following people for ruining my last game: Jarael, Darpa.
Space Marines and Spartans? Seriously? I got so many complaints later that night after you two pulled that shit; and honestly I was pissed too. When I wrote the plague setting it was a horror setting with lots of openings for interesting characters. Different Psychologies make good characters. I mean look at Watchmen; all of those characters: Nite Owl, The Comedian, Rorshach, Dr.Manhattan and others are all normal people in the book. They have houses, they do normal people things. All (save for the Dr.Manhattan) don't even have super powers. The book itself focuses on the characters psych. As opposed to superman where its all bells and whistles. People hate my analogies but again just look at it for what it is. Fancy suit characters ripped off of some (some of these being horrible games, or in complete different type of setting) video games. Make an actual character with some sort of thought or feeling for god sake. I'm not saying don't get inspired; hell Avraham is inspired by a lot of media figures; "But if he's inspired by many media figures whats the difference?". The difference is for one thing: Many. Many means I got many ideas from variety of resources and compiling them into one, and when I did that. It was only for his image. The other difference is: He's not just a total rip. Honestly you guys did everything: The spartan gear, the power suit from warhammer, you even refereed to the king as "The Emperor". I mean put them side by side
A scottish highland like warrior, big and burly with long black hair and a chin curtain beard. Very handsome he wears a large medal with the symbol of a claymore sword and a lightning bolt.
Could you tell at all he was semi inspired by gastons beauty and the beast? None of that fits gaston at all other than "Big Burly and handsome"
Now looking at yours
She is in big green armored power suit and is using force bullets in her tommy gun weapon. Her suit is green, and has an orange visor that is only some what clunky and looks exactly like halo.
It's clear your a spartan, your a wanna be. I have a meme for this issue I am discussing actually…
Just admit it: Your playing a spartan, and a Space Marine. IN A STEAM PUNK SETTING.
There is no ifs ands or buts; you guys RUINED the horror atmosphere of that game and scared some people off.
Now on to the temper tantrums. Remember the toystore game I run. Also Jack before you make an argument: Fuck you, your wrong. That game was not my fault at all. You did nothing but jerk off, your wizard expected to fight with CANTRIPS at level 5. You guys had no reason to be mad PERIOD. I should have killed you all just for being the shittiest team I ever saw. The warlock was one hitting the basic monsters and EVERYTHING was below YOUR CR. No. Excuse. I am not blaming myself for that game and if we ever run again I am just going to kill parties that don't work together, or don't put any thought into the team. Excuse me let me rephrase that for mister cantrips "KILL PARTIES THAT DON'T USE RATIONAL THOUGHT". Your a kobold wizard; to make that decision is an OPTIMIZED choice. How could a good race for THE BEST CLASS IN THE GAME fail so hard? When you have idiots not use or prepare proper spells. Point is: YOU WILL NOT ALWAYS GET YOUR WAY.
That's the way life is. It's tough shit but let me say it simply…
DEAL WITH IT AND GROW UP
Now on to being too polite or too blunt. Honestly, NOBODY tells me anything. I get "Guns are cool" then five seconds later "MOST UNBALANCED PIECE OF SHIT EVER". Be straight with me don't just tell me shit, that helps no one. then theres too blunt "Hurr guns are OP". Then I show said person very good reasons why they are not. Their arguement is "Hurr hurr I don't like guns". Instead of making stupid excuses to not like something cause your worried about offending me just come out and say it cause your more of a headache to deal with that way.
Overall, what I am saying is the OpenRPG community shitty for all of these reasons and makes it very hard to run these places. Lots of dicking around which players really need to stop doing and just see it for what it is.
A FUCKING GAME
That is one of the reasons why Naelvich is currently closed; however not the major underlying reason. Another issue is lack of DM's… I really shouldn't be the only one DMing. So until we get more DM's there is no way this place comes back.
Which brings us to another topic: Will Naelvich come back? answer is:
Possibly. If you guys can find enough DM's and enough willing players sure we can make a come back if your interested or think you have something you can email me @ su.noegipgnimoh|namdriB#su.noegipgnimoh|namdriB
Now I won't be able to DM for awhile which makes the plot game of "The Plague of Lithdim" interesting cause now Naelvich is currently under some sort of crazy status that people have to deal with. As for the survivor game; I will hold that off too which actually makes sense ICly because the party last rested in an alchemical factory. I'm sure they can find all the meds they need there so there is no problem for if Naelvich makes a come back.
However only under the conditions of us gaining DM's and larger player base will we actually come back which people are working on currently. Kalva has a group heading our way real soon apparently. So maybe you guys might get up and running again.
As for me; school, and regular birdsnest community prevent me from being here all the time. Tuesdays and Thursdays I may end up being at school till 4:00 pm! Pathfinders takes too much for game setup/playing so I will almost never be around tues and thurs if I am ever around. Unless something happens like snow day (yeah my college has snow days it lulz worthy), or holiday or something.
Overall I probably won't be here. If your willing to continue the setting like I said Email me and I will speak to you about how things should go. None of you will be allowed to advance the plague plot, however. That is my written tale and mine alone…
Now for the other reasons I left, and most of the issue was lack of people and the horrible OpenRPG community, and the players being morons and either killing the fun for other people or just being stupid or trolling.
If we get back up in better business I will make a return and play for a little while and then run another plot game.
The other problem with openrpg is the community is far too small and Nalei has spread bad rumors about us. I could go and spread bad things about Alvena and Ethar; but again: I am not petty nor am I immature.
Tortilla wanted me to actually get away from this shitfail community and move on to a Garrysmod DND Role Play server which… I think might be a little awkward. I am not sure though may have to test game with him later.
In the end I do want to say we had a good run so far, and I think we can continue having a good run if someone is interested in DMing for once. For now this is Birdman flying away he may return right now it's up to you guys.
