Really, the way M'aiq has always seen parties on this site is as an opportunity to have fun and chat to the other members. Kind of like a designated "everyone get on at [x] time" day, where the members can just let loose, and even roleplay as whatever characters they want.

Then along came themes, which M'aiq didn't mind; themes give us a better excuse to have parties, we are allowed to fit into a certain branch of the gaming world, and it was fun pretending to be a different character besides yourself.

Then along came the mod plots. These have basically hijacked what SHOULD be a social thing and turn it into a chore, forcing every member of the forum to RP some crappy armageddon plot. Every member is then sucked into several hours of reading threads because they have a role in the story that is gaining 200 posts a minute, and everyone would be devastated if they dropped out. Were you 15 minutes late to the party? Tough, you've missed so much of the plot you'd have to read a lightspeed in order to catch up for the end, and by the time you understand what's going on, it's far too late for you to have any role in it, so you will just be ignored by all but maybe one person.

So congratulations, Digibutter, you've all but killed the meaning of 'party' for M'aiq. This only leads him to suspect that we will once again be forced to sit through a terrible Brawl RP, leaving very little hope for anything remotely fun to actually occur in a party again.

Wait, what other parties have been interrupted by mod plots?

The LB plot, and there was another one, but M'aiq doesn't remember what the theme was.

I think Mod Plots are fun. You just don't know how to get into the spirit of things.

A party should be to have fun, not slave around a storyline.

I agree with Joshamuffin. If you're not into, instead of complaining the whole time, try and if you don't like it, leave for the rest of the day. -_-

M'aiq tried RPing SEVERAL times, be it getting into the mod plots, or making his own, or joining someone's, every *crag* time he is ignored by every mother *crag* person on this forum.

So obviously, he doesn't want to spend a Party day RPing, he wants to spend it having fun with other members. Sadly, though, everyone has to cater to every *crag* RP whim instead of enjoying themselves.

M'aiq does NOT live off of RPOT, he does NOT have an interest in RPing, he has valid reasons, and it is unfair that he is cut from everything major because of it, because everybody is biased towards RP whores.

IMO, there should be an equal amount of both things. Obviously, some members enjoy the mod plots, and some don't. Maybe we could alternate between them?

Or better yet, have one forum for the Modplots and one for the actual partygoers. Because, honestly, what happened yesterday put M'aiq on the borderline of giving up on this site.

Eh, it's no fun if it's not site-wide IMO.

Now that we're becoming a bigger community, the controllers of the site, (Including the Mods) think its better to have a plot to the parties.

Because almost everyone is a slave to RPOT.

And therefore, more Roleplaying to be involved, but with COINS. The only reason people even partipate is for the coins, or just for the sheer fun of roleplaying which usually gets ignored.

Well, atleast, thats my theory. I know Roleplay Offtopic has something to do with it.

Parties shouldn't have themes any longer, IMO. Themed parties get boring, whereas parties where we can use any kind of special alt are much more fun. Also, the plot was terrible. Destroying digibutter = WORST. IDEA. EVER. It was just an excuse to switch servers and add a useless front page to the site.

As I said before. I agree with no more plots involved with these parties. It drives everyone away from the party until there is no party. This shouldn't happen at the SSBB party so the plot will drive everyone away from Brawl.

All members make the site. The people running things need to run things in the interests of the people, not their own...

Anyway, I have absolutely NO intent for there to be a Digibutter Event during the Smash Bros. Brawl Party. And if any of the other Mods or Francis do, I'll have to talk to them about it.
