The Chiron Chronicle: Discussions (Restart 3)

[Sprayber]

Would it be possible to start a new discussion thread? This one is getting a little big...

[Guardian]

Well, my feelings about Alynzia just underwent a major change, and it wasn't to the better.

If this is how she goes about sorting out her differences with other players, then quite frankly, I don't think we need her. I don't like to be saying this and I honestly thought much better of her, but now I don't know what to think anymore. I guess I should give her the benefit of the doubt for the time being...

[Kassiopeia]

Call me naive, but I have some doubts about that message. But I would like to add simultaniosly that I do not believe that Sprayber or anyone else here would of counterfitted it. I once lost my email-login and password to a schoolfriend, and his "joke" was very much alike to that.
Could it be from Alynzia? If it is, she has some explaining, if not otherwise then personally, because as Guardian said, my prestige towards her has just collapsed. And, I concurr furthermore with Guardian, if that is Alynzia's writing, then we do not need her.

But for a final note: This is just a game! I mean, there is simply no rational reason to flame up like this for a silly game. I do not say that a person should withhold his/her feelings towards others, but some taste would be welcome.

And yes, a new discussion thread ASAP.

[Guardian]

Well, we'll see...

I certainly hope this is all some kind mix up, as I actually liked Alynzia...

-until now...

[Mr. President]

Let's not all of us get too indignant here. There's no point grumbling about quality of writing when we only have a few minutes every three days or a week to devote. I guess there were always going to be squabbles about who gets which faction. I like the Pirates and the Gaians (although Morgan comes in close third) but I may never write for them. But that doesn't matter, because this is only a spin-off homage to a very addictive and absorbing computer game.

I'm going to play devil's advocate for Alynzia for a minute and say that that message may not have been characteristic of her. (Although how a faker would have known Mr. Sprayber's first name and the names of others here beats me.) At any rate, I think we should hear from her.

Look, I agree that anyone who wants to fight should leave. But no-one should get carried away, all right? It's just a stupid message board, for God's sake.

I just want to make it clear to everyone that until yesterday, I wasn't involved. I was talking to my fiance and I noticed an email popped up so I checked it. I had to read it two or three times to make sure that I was seeing what I was seeing. She said she got my name and email address from where I signed Googlie's Spartan Chronicle guestbook. Never would I have known it would have gotten me into this. I should have ignored the email and not even posted it. I apologize for not excercising better judgement. I agree that no one should get worked up over this game. It's been fun for me up till this point. I have had my doubts about some things as far as game wise, but I always let it pass since it's just a game.

Mr. President. It looks like Morgan will be able to remain in the spotlight if he accepts the Spartan offer to mediate the dispute.

[Clear Skies]

I still don't really know what to say. I don't want everyone to ban Alynzia from this story or whatever if she did write that - hey I get days myself where the smallest thing can spark me off. However, I do think it was totally uncalled for, and it did really hurt me.

That said, I have to say it doesn't sound like Alynzia, but it's up to her to prove or disprove whether she wrote it or not. I don't blame Sprayber for anything of course, and I would still like to write for the Chronicles. I have quite a few ideas that I'd like to implement...

Anyway, haven't much else to say, apart from to say AYE on the matter of opening a new discussion thread Chiron alive, what happened to starting off a new one every 10 or so pages?

[Kassiopeia]

I think, that we should

a) open up a new discussion thread (!)
b) wait some time for Alynzia to reply about this - about the timeframe of waiting I cannot say a thing.

First of all, the "Email from Alynzia"
(Quote, since there is no founding proof. She might of told a friend about this stuff, who knows? Maybe we have a menacing troll afoot who is reading things, messing up stuff and now laughing at the background?)
really isn't, like said, characteristic to Alynzia. And there is no founding proof for her words - Are they calculatedly selected insults or words thrown in "the heat of battle" or an emotional rush all people sometimes have, I can't say.

Whoever sent the message, has put Sprayber to a very difficult position. But I am glad that you posted the message, because I appreciate open confrontation instead of "backstabbing".

Referring to my earlier post on "stolen email". Maybe Alynzia has written a message to quit from Chiron Chronicles, but not with such vicious use of the English language as we have witnessed. And maybe someone infiltrated her message and fiddled with it.

Whatever the situation is, I am very... shocked. Stunned. Amazed. But above all, CONFUSED.

[Mr. President]

If we're talking about the game again, I'm sure Morgan would love to remain in the spotlight. He gets royalties from TV appearances.

But then war can be good for the economy too. It's clearly in his interests to get cosier with the Spartans. And the Pirates are bad for his business.

[Argonaut]

Just wanted to add that, I recieved the e-mail as well. Sprayber just got on to post it before I did. But I don't really understand it either. I hope it's just a big misunderstanding, and what not. I guess only time can tell.

What is the point of starting a new discussion thread? Any real reasons? Are their places you cannot see... I think it is useful to have a thread that is easily accessable and visible- but If you still wish for a new thread, I suppose I'll create one now, but I really don't see the reason.

---
Perhaps Alynzia was having a bad day and misinterpreted SMAC Fanatic's statments...

Now that we know that she was mistaken, I suppose that if she apologizes and both sides resolve the issue then we can have both players- as long as we can work out our differences we can have a game.
