In addition, somebody set up a "bomb" in the Summit. So I decided to lolgrief it.

The Summit has seriously gone rapidly downhill since it was turned into a physical environment. Right now, I am trying to IC tell this person that you cannot threaten other characters via the Summit.

For all that is holy, can someone please who has op power change it back to how it was?

It really is dreadful.

You forgot to mention the person who planted the 'bomb' is also a majority shareholder in Carthum Conglomerate.  :D

I wish I was that awesome.

As I said elsewhere: The VR is not related to the problem.

It was politicized IC.

That act is now coming home to roost.

However, I do abhor the god-moding on display there. (For once an actual instance of something that truly is god-moding, rather than something that is not god-moding but for OOC argumentation is erroneously described as such, I might add.)

* Casiella goes about RPing through gameplay.

This reflects fairly well why so many people choose to avoid the Summit. Which does make me :( but I suppose that's how it has to be.

I'll return it to how it was, and emphasize the (somewhat) stricter rules that it has when I have an opportunity.

While I'm an OP there, Ashar chose to exercise his position IC as the one with a character as CEO of the corp that owns the channel. For the record, I didn't agree with the direction he took the channel, OOC, but it isn't my channel.

As Ashar seems to have gone afk again for a while, though, I will switch it back, pending his return. If anyone has objections to the switch back, feel free to voice them here.

So the channel is IC owned by a particular corp?

'CRC Auxiliary'

It was set up by one of the old school Amarr guys - who I can't remember atm - and CEO of the corp was handed over to Ashar at some point when the Amarr guy decided to pass the channel on, from what I understand.

I thought that went out with AURORA. My bad.

So, as raised during the recent anti-Sansha summit, it's not exactly an unbiased central meeting place. Do I have that right? Please correct if I've misunderstood. :)

My opinion is it is supposed to be, and I was there when it was actually created.

Ashar obviously felt differently. You'll have to ask him what his evidence for that is.

Edit: I always felt that the Summit's neutrality was one of it's strengths, in fact.

I will again stress the VR environment is not the problem.

The other stuff touched on can be problematic, but the VR environment isn't a problem.

I think it's part of the problem. Not the whole problem, ofc, which is why I put in the bit about having the rules enforced too.

I think that some diversity in RP channels is good, and there are plenty of other VR environment ones.

I don't disagree that diversity is good, however the Summit was a VR channel when it initially started, then shifted to a generic comms frequency, then back to VR, then back to comms over the years.

It didn't have problems before with it.

I don't feel that the VR is either a problem, the problem, or part of the problem.

I would suggest that lack of definition is the problem. I would be willing to wager that if we polled people on the Summit; in either its VR or comm frequency forms, and what they thought it was, was for, and how it was represented, we would have a rather large variety of answers.

That, in my opinion, is the source of the problem.

Everything else is just a symptom.
