Agreed. I was waiting for the OP to step in, but guess the overall silence means they agree with Neil (or they don't want the headache of dealing with Neil).
I'd been avoiding publicly saying anything negative or accusatory against Neil since he volunteered (in all my replies till he unilaterally decided to send a mail and said that's how we are going to decide rule changes).
Neil on other other hand has "muck raked" and "pitch forked" with his replies where he accused me of sock-puppeteering, bringing in my "behaviour" in previous games etc.
I probably should have reported him for that?
It seems that my previous private messages and mails haven't helped and only made matters vague, so to clarify, when Neil volunteered, I contacted ManicLurch and spoke to him about various issues that come along with Neil being a host / player in a game.
I've seen how he decide his ideas are the best and it's not open to any discussion. It was this reason why I requested for a filter in the form of co-hosts to help tone him down.
I won't go into details but every GTP player has seen Neil's abuses, responses and meltdowns which I first ignored, attributing it to his real life work load but not the 2nd time there nor the 3rd time here. Not that it's unique to GTP but also in various previous games and conversations.
As a host, he has arbitrarily decided to move non HW planets around as well, to arrange greens as per what he thinks 'feels' right, or place all HG/HP races together, and other similar changes which massively influences the game.
That's why I contacted ManicLurch when Neil volunteered and why I was the last to sign up AFTER it was confirmed how the game was going to be created + having co-hosts.
Existing game setup, Co-hosts, properly documented/explained steps on what changes the host is going to do during game creation.
Not sure when all of that went out of the window.
Ron, Neil is not the thread starter.
He is a host who volunteered to generate a universe for an existing game series.
Not sure why or where he thought he could propose changes to the rules of the game and that's what I was discussing.
I was not okay with him giving ultimatums and "booting" me out of the game.
I even offered to take a weekend out if I was not playing anyway and create a universe for Rings 2, but as I said above, I guess the silence from other players only encourages Neil and affirms his actions.
I was really trying not to point out the silence of other players, but I'm just not understanding how Neil's handling of rule changes or how he's handed out his 'punishments' is okay.
I wanted to avoid a case of being accused of sour grapes if I said "I don't want to play a game which is hosted by Neil anyway", which is why I was sticking around and replying.
However, I had spoken to a couple of other players (probably said this here as well) that I play Stars! for relaxation. Not to deal with crap that Neil pulled here.
While Stars! was my fav relaxing game for the limited gaming hours that I have, where I could play while multi-tasking watching something or listening to a podcast, but this isn't worth the bother.
Good luck guys.
I know my minefields.. but I'm a chaff sweeper.
I used to curse when I got stuck in traffic... till I realised I AM traffic.Report message to a moderator
