I find it strange that it's the ones that didn't effectively get their character's and organization's reputations and metaphorical balls caught in the current CBT vice with absolutely no idea of how the dice will fall are the ones that are throwing stones at the whole affair. 

Nothing at all prevents anyone here from seeking to generate their own RP, arcs, or content because there's factional reps open to be mailed by any player if they wish it, so the only limiting factor as I see it is an unwillingness to participate.

I've no doubt the spotlight will swing elsewhere soon.

Me, I've been in the relative background of all this anyway -- just amused how Jevvles went from flying with a bunch of (sorta kinda former) Serpentis loyalists associated with illegal orbital bombardment to a bunch of (very vocal) State loyalists now also associated with illegal orbital bombardment.

I laughed. Lots.

Bleh, most factional blocs always prefer to keep their laundry cleaning private anyway, in the hope to prevent giving the enemy free ammo and let them see the internal in fighting.

And it's better that way, it becomes less tedious to know what's going on (unlike Arek Jalaan or the Sansha invasions that were monopolized by a few chosen players). There is still place for more private secret stuff happening.

Can you go into detail about the bolded part?

It is good to have a certain balance between the public part to make sure that every RPer can interact, and also good to remain open to players for interactions. And between the private part where dedicated players can go into more details and intrigue according to their specific RP.

In the Sansha Invasions in particular, almost the totality of the actors-players interaction was centered around Syne and Soter, for example.

AJ was more open though, but if you were not specifically involved in it, no news, nothing.

The crucial difference here is that we now have NPC contacts to at least bypass that issue a little.

Thanks jev, the entire first aid training course now wonders what i am snorting with barely suppress laughter at during my lunch...

[Lyn Farel]

I googled CBT and had no results that could explain the joke :/

You probably had Safe Search on. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cock_and_ball_torture_(sexual_practice) . (Very very NSFW, if you couldn't guess from the link.)

Well that's player driven content if iv ever seen it.

More comments later, I am already late for my departure to work.

Edit: (Now at work)

You have insight into what I have been trying to do.

Veikitamo doesn't always put metaphorical balls in the CBT vice but when she does, she always uses a stick of butter first.

[Sepherim]

I must admit I liked the news a lot, specially if it is player driven.

Ah, I see. I am almost entirely unfamiliar with the interaction difficulties of the Synean side. On the Sansha side we locked down into full paranoid mode to wrestle as much as an advantage over the intelligence war as we could. I'm not certain how many would-be Sansha feel the same about our approach as you do with Syne's.

But, back to the topic on hand...

[Lyn Farel]

Syne did the same thing. It was perfectly understandable and logical ICly.

The issue came from the actors, not the players.

Looks like the CPD just told the CBT: "Nope"

[Lyn Farel]

I like when these events are grey on both sides.
