Hey, guys. Today in Teef's plurk there was a bit of a discussion that I almost jumped in but I kept having doubts if I should because I'm not very interested in a zombie plot (nothing against it, just not into it). In the end the plurk was gone before I could say anything, but something stuck in my mind, and I've decided to come here after all because there was a couple of things said that bother me and it could affect the way future player plots will be handled too.

Just because it is a player plot it doesn't mean it doesn't need moderation. You say "it's a player thing so it's not on the mod plurk" which I agree with and that's fair! But there has been just a general lack of organization with this. I thought a player plot would've been presented to you guys with some kind of breakdown of the plot? Because we never got that. The first ooc post that we got was vague as heck, and you had to jump in to make corrections (shouldn't that have been talked beforehand?) and to tell us that was just a general idea gathering thing and not a proper presentation of plot ooc post.

Which, by the way, we never got. In the plurk you said "we did have an ooc plot" but you guys yourself said that wasn't it, and besides the post's over a month old. People may have forgotten about it (we didn't even get proper dates it just showed up one day), we've gotten new people since then, and like I said, a proper breakdown of what's going on never was posted. Just an IC post out of nowhere that doesn't even link to the old plotting post.

Plurk is not the place to talk this shit out, I'll give you that much, but the way you told Teef that pretty much things are ok was a bit off-putting. This isn't how a player plot should be handled, guys, especially one that has big stuff going on and it's more than just "my idiot stole all your clothes" to name something random. A big plot needs a proper ooc post with the details and a place where people can ask questions, and if the player didn't post that then the mods should remind them to do so.

eta: rereading the old post I see "We would of course address absolute specifics in an information post once it is much closer to the time of the event, working with Frames along the way. As of right now, this post was meant to survey interest, help with excitement, and think on ideas. This was not a "This Is The Plot" plot post. We have not worked out any hard and fast details, we we haven't received any sort of official write-up for end-all-be-all scheduling and clearance." You shouldn't allow to post about a plot this big when a plot doesn't have breakdown, scheduling and clearance. This should be clear.

Hey there, TF. Thanks for this - we really appreciate you reaching out.

> The general lack of organization
We admit, yes, there is a huge lack of organization with this, and we have learned our lesson on our end of things. We were blindsided as well - there was no communication with us, even though we thought we had made it very clear that they were to continue talking with us about it. Apparently, we were not as clear as we should have been, and we plan to correct that in the future.

> The post over a month old
We are also unhappy with how this was handled. We were very much under the impression that we would work together to craft an informational post, but in the end, we were not spoken to, and no post was made at all. That is unacceptable, and we are aware of that.

> Teeff's plurk
We did talk with Teeff after the plurk was deleted, and hashed everything out with her. We have a slew of feedback and information that we are absolutely taking to heart, we promise. We sincerely apologize that things in her plurk were handled abruptly and not well - we were all in damage control mode, which was not the way to go about it. We will be much more careful in the future.

> The mods reminding them to make an info post
You're completely right. In the future, we will. This entire player plot has been an exercise in frustration all around, and we will do everything we can to make sure this never happens again.

We have been discussing this all day, and we want to let you know that after this incident, we know very well that we have A LOT to improve - and we will, immediately. We are drafting a post that will detail exactly how we expect large player plots to be handled, and we will expect those instructions to be followed in their entirety.

If you have anything else you wish to bring up with us, please don't hesitate to do so. Again, we really, sincerely appreciate you speaking to us about this. We will make improvements, and we will be better.

Unscreen away! And thank you for the answer, I'm super glad to hear that about that post with the details about handling player posts in the future. Thank you.
