Story Railroading.

[Serpentis]

I've been around for a while, was 1IC a couple of times over official factions, even was part of a "government" RP thing.
Back then (2010 isch) I never felt that our RP wasn't influencing the story that took place.

I do not agree with Haste, I firmly believe that Official and unofficial factions should have a say in how things work out in the story.
Of course, some things may not be all good and have to be ignored or countered, there are a few people that always tries to change the narrative to make their own RP situation better, aka getting their factions gain more without proper reason.
I think I read somewhere that there was RP which the RP was between someone's two factions. This should be made sure not to happen.

And, to add to this, I know there have always been some devs that make things better or easier for their own factions, I should hope everyone knows this. It's horrible, but it's just how it is. And those that do it, shouldn't be devs, that's my opinion.

But if things have become this bad, that people feel their own OF doesn't get a chance to even discuss when there is changes to their Faction assets, is just sad. Come on, it's not like it's a hard thing to do but check with the 1ic or leaders in general about what you as a dev had planned?

I have absolutely no say in anything and I am just another player, but I feel it's a shame that things have taken a hard turn from listening to their community and just do stuff without their opinion at least.
