OK...I am more than just a little annoyed.

Many of you have been clamoring for action.
And many times I put you into some action, it goes "pfffst"

You've been avoiding the places with the most obvious "beasties"
You ran from the pack of vampires above
You ignore or pass on the treasure given to you
You don't try to figure out where the hell the Father went.

And a damn shadow demon is on his last leg, trying to escape
and you almost let him out the FUCKING door!!!!
(with only one claw from Darghon, and a few energy blades from Sexodus)
He was heading RIGHT at you.
D'Aleen could have blasted him
Kentalos could have blasted him
Attrah could have hit him with his cold steel blade.
Don't assume the creature is down, until I "say" it's down or gone.
You don't know what strength it's at.
You're basically in a "war zone" here. Don't assume anything.

You know I'm really trying to add some puzzles and action here
and it seems as if sometimes you're walking right by it.
This is VERY frustrating to me.
I try very hard to add things here & there...and to have them just go by the wayside...is defeating.

I am trying to keep everyone involved, and create some challenge
but your actions sometime contradict what you are asking for.

You ask to play, and then you don't play
You ask for action, and then you don't act
You ask for puzzles, and then you don't think about them.
(and this is not all of you for all of this, this is some of you for each or some of this)

Please, I've asked you for some feedback
and you've kindly given it to me
and I'm greatly enjoying the story as it's developing,
but if you want the play you want, then you need to followup with me
& the storyline with your character's involvement.

I can set up the scene, but I don't want to direct your characters.
Let's make this into something even more special
and keep up on the plot, and to increase the edge...
maybe start getting frustrated at this maze, and start confronting
instead of avoiding (not insanely so, but heroically so)

This place is obviously a place of play & torture for the owner,
as well as a staging place for his invasions.
Aren't you tired of being a part of his act?

Maybe I'm tired, but this frustrates me as I try to draw the story
and your characters play.

Should I just start just throwing out wandering monsters everywhere constantly?
and everyone is going to get hit everywhere,
and if you don't act, then "oh well..."
I've tried to be understanding that this is not continuous, and that life happens outside of here,
so maybe I haven't pushed you to the edge constantly, or leapt on top of you while you were away.
Should I change this...and just start saying "oh well..."?

No
because with that kind of ruthlessness the game would be empty in no time.
This is about participation, interaction & using your creativity
And "acting" with your character as they might for "real".

You need to be there as much as me.
I am nothing without you, there is no story.

Let me know what you think.
