So I am really curious what the attitude and style of everyone's city aether is like. I have not had to alt and spy on the other orgs after I started playing again but I've noticed that Magnagora's city aether has become really relaxed. A lot of slang, talking mechanics, people just ranting or bullshitting over CT. It's not exactly bad but it's really different from what I remember and really weird to me. An active CT is great but when most of it is not really IC or furthering RP it is kind of jarring. Are most of the orgs like this? Are other places doing it differently? (I already know I'm a grump so no worries, no need to let me know)

I would think that if it got too out of hand on CT that the admin would start docking rolepoints, however.

squads are considered ooc. at least, mine are. i let everyone know up front. city-purposed squads, e.g. for domoths, are also ooc unless someone leader-ey sets ic tones.
you should've talked to me or one of the leader people this is the kind of stuff we need to know. i'm the first to admit magnagora isn't perfect but how are we supposed to fix things if we don't know what's broken?
rant aside, my previous post is totally accurate. /sunglasses/

I've never heard of squads being OOC, nor covens, and ESPECIALLY not GT, CT, OT, etc...

(they won't, it's okay)
I had a lot of Big Plans for my stay in Magnagora, but yeah. The people sort of trumped the potential, which - while I've encountered the same thing in Gaudiguch, and was my reason for leaving Gaudiguch to begin with - is more than a little disappointing considering just how much I love the themework that's gone into the org.

It'd be good roleplay, too! Make a snide, slightly bitter comment referencing Magnagora's broken decorum. Yarou's aware that it's a problem -- she's also aware it's on the Council's list to tackle -- but she hasn't yet been moved to take an aggressive stance on it. Actually, this would be great roleplay. It'd inspire Yarou to shape up and become more of a role model in terms of proper behavior.
Even better if someone who was a recent novice in Magnagora brought it up. Or knew a recent novice. Yarou's fiercely protective of all novices/newbies, even the ones that aren't Magnagoran, and if someone tells her a novice was spurred to leave the city because they were made uncomfortable by something that happened within the city walls, I can guarantee she'll do a 360 turn around into mother goat mode and push for quicker changes.
Come on, guys. We can sit here and talk about the broken shit all night but talking isn't doing. Ffs, I'm ready to do this.
(are we mad at each other now, is that a thing that's happening, uhhhh)
