Monster Island: BMT #11 From: casbahcarl@aol.com (CasbahCarl) Date: Thu, 19 May 1994 21:56:04 +0000 In the lastest edition of the American game's player-edited newsletter, the "Blood Moon Tribune," the editor wrote an article on behalf of his group that attempts to create incentives for members of other groups to betray the trust of their fellow group members and of followers of their religion. The following is a copy of my post on the AOL MI board: ------------- Subj: Re:BMT #11 94-05-19 17:47:20 EDT From: CasbahCarl Hi All, I'd like to make a comment regarding Morgan's ad on behalf of Shroud's Own (SO) in the latest BMT. First, though, I'd like to preface my comments that from my experience on this board, I think that SO members Bob (Ewop) and Cathy (Cashew Nut) are decent people. However, it's my personal opinion, humbly stated, that the intent of Morgan's recent communication is a negative one that will serve to lessen the enjoyment of the game for many people. Yes, I know, he'll say that he's merely roleplaying the evil nature of his character and group...blah, blah, blah. However, I don't think anyone can legitimately deny that since the Ryan Gaffuri mess (where an SO member lied to several groups in order to gain confidential information), MI has been slightly less enjoyable because we can't trust other players as easily as we used to. I know this is true for many older and advanced players who've spoken on the same topic to me personally and on Bif's. And now this ad is just going to reinforce the suspicion and mistrust that was created earlier by one of Shroud's Own. Ultimately, I believe this will have a negative impact on Monster Island. Just my .02 worth, Chuck ----------- Any thoughts from others? Chuck Miro casbahcarl@aol.com Up
