PSA: PLEASE READ

PSA: To all members of the SW twitterverse and all outsiders who interact with us:

As you all well know, there have been many changes in our verse as of late, and none of them good.

I aim to address as many of the issues at hand as best I can and turn it over to each of you for a solution, as this matter is now well beyond my control.

While I am flattered and humbled that so many of you have come to me looking for answers, help, direction, etc, I must also remind you that I'm really not the group leader. We don't have one. Personally, I feel that's a good thing. That being said, please don't take this as a "never come to me with your problems" thing, because that isn't why I'm posting this here. I'm just trying to say that there's only so much I can address at a given time. Lately, it's gotten beyond my grasp.

If you have personal issues with another member of our verse, please take it up respectfully with that person in dm's. I would be happy to moderate if needed, as would other members of our verse.

This leads me to another point altogether:

I try my best to be impartial in the verse. I love each of you, and I want nothing more than to help you all interact and help new people to integrate. Please don't ask me or others to take sides, unfollow, block, etc. a given character at anytime.

Also? The hate in this verse has GOT to stop. If you have a problem, dm, or call someone in to moderate.

Public slams both on the feed, formspring, etc., from ALL PARTIES need to cease as well. We're acquiring more haters, and quickly earning the reputation of becoming cliquish and elitists. I'm sick of it.

Go back to one @The_Tycho. I can't tell you how much sleep I've actually lost over what happened with him. If I could go back and change what was said on my part, I would. Was he annoying? Yes. He was also 14 years old.

If someone annoys you, simply unfollow. Don't give a reason unless they ask you, and if at all possible, make your answer simple and polite.

Your Dark Lord isn't unfollowing anyone unless they seriously start something that gets out of control. Unless you can give me a timestamp of an @reply with "Rot in hell you bastard" etc, and I can tell without a shadow of a doubt that it's OOC, because let's face it, that last quote is totally IC for Leia and Luke if they said it to me, I'm not going to slam, unfollow, block, etc.

Don't get problems with other characters if they don't block/unfollow the same characters you want them to unfollow, and on the other end of the spectrum, don't get upset if a character unfollows you. It's happened to everyone. Just move on. This is twitter.


Let's talk RP: If someone is in a serious storyline and you see a lot of stuff going on, best not to interrupt/interject with anything unless you're interjecting something of importance. An OOC comment here and there is fine, but don't make someone who's trying to assault a planet/etc have an entire convo if you see he/she is busy. If you're from outside the verse, try and see if the person you're about to tweet is insanely busy or not before you hit them up with an @reply.

Over the past four days I have sacrificed school, sleep, meals, etc. trying to help mend the differences in our RPG community. @leiaorganasolo has taken time away from work to do the same, and for any effort on my part, she has more than likely doubled it on hers.

While we're happy to help out, please remember that we can't always make these sacrifices. We're all adults here...I'm hoping we can all approach our problems and work them out as adults. Childish bickering needs to come to an abrupt halt. We came here to play, not to fight. The only fights we need to have are in character ones and part of a storyline.

On a more personal note, I love playing with each and every one of you here. It has, however become difficult for me to navigate through 8-10 timelines (which at any given time of the day I'm in), and it's also hard for my followers and the people I tweet here to follow. If you see you can jump into one of the stories I already have going instead of starting another, it'd be a big help. The four of you who have storylines with me as wives we might need to start looking at going for different stories on a day to day basis.

Please keep in mind that nothing in the above PSA is intended to come across harsh, these are merely issues that we need to address so that things won't get out of hand. If each of you can assist in some way, the verse should run like a well-maintained Italian sports car. I hear they're like podracers, so I'm all for it. ;)

Thanks,

DV
