January 2012 ToH Appreciation Thread

[Former-GM-Glyph]

Given that a GM made a thread on third classes that ended with a link to someone getting stabbed over and over again should more questions about it be asked, I think I'm well within the threshold of what I can and can't say before it gets inappropriate.

And no, I did not realize anything had gone wrong until I had started Wave 3, because I did not know that my character disconnecting would mess with anything pertaining to Monster Trial. After Wave 3, me and Circe even told others not to go in on this next run while we made sure it worked.

We then decided to let Wave 2 go again because that is where the issue started. We then learned that they couldn't go again, which means that round 2 and round 3 were going to need us looking further into it. (Not helped by the fact that people were confused by me saying that the 2nd Wave is the one going in when I started it again after me and Circe cleared it)

At this point while we were discussing, and looking into the issue, Pandora came back, so I started explaining it to her while Circe tried to calm things down via the small Trivia Event. Pandora then helped clear the matter up.

And to say again, as has been pointed out already, this is the FIRST time this has happened. So yes, we are going to look into the issue as it happens, discuss how to handle it and then seek assistance with the Admin if our ideas aren't working.

Because, again, the script stopped both Wave 2 and Wave 3 from competing with the Bradium Golems a second time because they had already gone. We do not have access to magically change that variable.

And as for asking for compensation, can we get some for the hour of nonstop abuse while we tried to fix things and get the event moving again?

If not, I can certainly give you an answer to that question.

And if you think I'm being inappropriate and snarky at this point, you are right. I am annoyed at the fact that while trying to fix everything, and finding out that a lot of it is beyond our power to control, due to a random fluke disconnect on my part, that some players decided they were entitled to ridicule and heap on the blame.

I can usually take it, dish it back out with a laugh and move on. But an hour straight because shit happened and we were taking our time to try and fix it and figure out a solution? Completely ridiculous.
