well, their used to be 2 chat prgrams, one via SC, and one via a private player via IRC.
the SC chat was rather, well, abrasive. while the IRC chat contained more even tempered players. ironically, the abrasive players pretty much ran off the mild players, then the GM chased off the abrasive players.
thing is, players are going to be players. the game seems to be reworked to invite, encourage, and groom one type of player. how ever, that same type of player, is generally more passive, and less involved. leading to less interaction.
nothing worth talking about happens with out a little testosterone. really, we should be celebrating victrorious warlords, rather than changing the rules to discourage their presence.
