maybe for you and those that are on the wrong side of the Zuma, but for those that are on the right side it is not so bad.
Maybe that's what you did wrong. Do you think Tom gave control of the Zuma to the GM so he could play his own little single player game of BM? Or do you think he gave the GM control so he could contribute something to Dwilight? If only one realm of those surrounding Zuma territory takes the time to properly interact with the Zuma and the rest ignore them, then what contribution to Dwilight do you think the Zuma will make, if not to support that realm in some way?
Exactly.
It's just not fun. It is just a game of "suck up to this one player." and then you have multiple, if not unlimited, thousands of CS seemingly at your disposal. That isn't dynamic, that isn't what BM should be about, it isn't even strategic or political, it's just suck up to a GM and what the GM wants for the island.
At least not for Dwilight. We have Beluaterra for that, why have two islands for that? And even Beluaterra at least has a stated goal: the Daimons want to destroy humanity and the island, these guys are just a random enigma whose attitude and desires seem to change from week to week. Hell, you can't even get them to talk to you half the time. And when you're upset that they won't everyone just says "you aren't doing it right, you have too dance a little jig and turn around three times and THEN try to talk to them." It's just silliness and its arbitrary and has absolutely no consistent RP basis.
