A Measure of Success

[Mithadan]

Please don't delete it Aman. You raise a point at least about appearances. The Mods seem to have a lot of power. In fact they do have some power in the rare occaisions that they actually use it. But their primary purpose is to keep things orderly, help people find their level, find or start games and improve their skills. Do they sometimes have to bash some heads? Yes, but not nearly as much as I had to in the old RPG Room.

Is it more restrictive? Yes, undeniably so, but we believe for good reason. As the old Room showed, when people are left to their own devices, many tend to find the lowest level of commitment. The new system challenges gamers to play at their best. It also favors having games run to their completion rather than allowing the same people start many games, none of which finish.

There are different ways of running RPG rooms. There is merit to each of these ways. There are also disadvantages. We tried to strike a compromise between what the Freestyle room was (chaos) and what it became (too heavily controlled), and came up with our system.

See? No sharp objects.
