Underrated reply. Players don’t realize that they do have the power to suggest and put together their own events if they seek guidance from an event team member or Tippie. Tippie is always looking for fresh eventsThe number one thing that drives me crazy with SRP is that nobody pushes themselves out of their comfort zone. I'm not complaining about individuals being afraid to try new things, but rather a lack of ambition and innovation around most corners of the community.
I'll use events as an example; most large-scale SRP events follow the same format, where you organize a few booths/diversions in a pretty area, then let 300+ players roam free for an hour or so. I'm not saying this can't lead to good events, but over time it gets very stale. I'm definitely tooting my own horn with this one, but last year's "School Swap" event that the council did was a great example of an ambitious event that turned out phenomenally well. It was mostly coordinated by the former HS President (MuziekAapje / Lara) and myself, and we were able to organize 40+ players and managed to keep the event going for a full school day. The result was not only a banger event, but an opportunity for players that otherwise wouldn't interact with one another to form friendships, an opportunity for people interested in school faculty to get a taste of what being faculty would be like, and it served as a good learning experience for those of us who organized the event.
Note, I'm not just complaining about events, it's just the most convenient example for me. Next on the chopping block was skin tailors and how most people don't deviate from the standard style, but I'm trying not to write a 10 paragraph essay here.
Don't get me wrong, I'm sure people are definitely trying to fulfill their respective roles as best they can, and most are doing a perfectly fine job. I just wish more people would be less afraid of innovating, y'know? Try new things and fail, there's nothing wrong with taking the L every now and then.
This is literally it. People are always so caught up in their black-and-white views of the world, when it's only rarely like that. It's more so a blurry line. Everything has its reason - everything is explainable, but not necessarily justifiable.People can be a_holes wihout having sociopathy or psychopathy. Evil doesnt need to be "oh my view of the world is distorted" or "I am evil becuase sociopathy".
Okay probablyThe tailors.
Atleast someone else gets it!Okay probably
