Miscommunication

[Jinx]

there are serveral ways in and out of a situation...

when zapp posted his screenshot and report about a heavy attack on the FP. - my reply was of course "to investigate if its a fake" - which basicly means ( i will contact the poster and ask what RP he has in mind ) - and go into the game and ask players that are usually around or know the area what they have wittnessed.

yes - when i first saw the post, i was a bit afronted, cause i suspected some screen taken in the dead of the night claiming an attack when no one was even remotely around to defend ( that is - random attack for screenshots ) - and that is WHY i asked around

- how it happened
- what was behind it all

the explanation was satisfying - and i never had the feeling that any player involved was holding something back ( i asked zapp and got contacted by exile with more than enough information and feedback )

for that - i daresay that every other player could have made the same investigations.

so - for me, the first "shock" wore off quickly - and i got intrigued by what might happen - dramatic changes, RP that shapes the enviroment - RP gone global - i like it, yes.

and of course - it was quickly said that every faction involved MUST be informed and worked WITH. - but there s no rushing into things much. - there is not a plan to proceed with the events on a daily base. - personally, i was more concerned not to have 1000 defenders in delta each day.

not cause i feel too sorry for the nomads ( they can deal with it ) - but cause i think its disappointing for the 1000 defenders when nothign out of the ordinary happens.



but again - i wasn t informed about it from the start - but i asked around and got my answers. - had i not asked around - i would not have gotten my answers - easy as that.



edit:

its working together - which is the key. - it would have been easy to derail the attack as a fake, no matter what zapp wanted ( thats why it was important to PM him ) - what becomes TRUE is just a contest of who writes more convincinly and who is more popular - if you don t work together but against each other.

it would have been better to contact the involved playerfactions before - yes, no doubt. - but its not the end of the world when it was just not done. - and there are a lot of people interested in delta ... and a lot of people who feel to have a right to know about things.
