BM General Discussion / What's Right with BM
« on: August 04, 2016, 10:11:21 PM »
Hello Folks,
I would just like to say that I've noticed a lot of griping and complaining recently. I realize that the forums are probably created for the sole purpose of expressing one's complaints, but I want to point something out...
Complaining about the Status Quo in BM is just plain silly. This game is absolutely amazing in so many ways with so much potential for change and interaction. Realms are constantly rising and falling, rulers being deposed, duke fighting with rulers, judges banning nutjobs, stupid roleplays, amazing roleplays, religious fanaticism, and onward the list goes. What is there not to love? The Status Quo in Dwilight is freaking awesome! SA is falling apart, Zuma just picked a war with Avernus, Monsters are everywhere, and in my particular realm there is tons of internal turmoil. That's what we should want to happen. We should want to create empires of man and metal without the expectations of success and permanence. Things are supposed to change and reform over time.
Now I know that there are those of you who will exclaim "silly new guy, we sunk Atamara because it never changed" or "Sirion has been on the map forever!" so on and so forth. And I agree things can become stagnant and slow, but just like everything else in life things will change in due time. There will be periods of silence, entrenched classes of old families will emerge, and speech will be suppressed. In cases like these there are still things that you, the player, can do to make it exciting again. Plot treason! Kill someone for no reason! Duel folks for honor's sake! Roleplay about literally everything! BM is a world with limitless chances for fun and entertainment, but there must be effort on your part to make it happen because the world is driven by you, not the guy next to you.
In closing, no matter what has happened with our characters, we as players need to better appreciate how wonderful and unique BM is and treat it like the faithful old lady it is.
