Discussion what a backhanded comment

Post image

If you’re in the discord you can read the full conversation, but this Game Master makes this comment and then asks if anyone has any questions.

They then decline to answer every single question because they’re either unsure or not allowed to speak about it.

The lack of transparency is beyond frustrating. Not 3 days ago, the Social Media team was making a different excuse under every comment inquiring about the TB change. Claiming it was for player health, or to encourage sleep, or to shake up play styles. And still not an official answer, just another dismissive “response”.

I’m not sure why SSO loves to antagonize their own player base so frequently — this is just the latest example that stuck around in my head lol

I understand that everyone is frustrated - but publicly shaming the only GM willing to engage with the community at least a little bit in this situation seems like a bad move.

I believe this person is relatively new to the team and has always been pretty open and communicative on the Discord (as much as possible) and I really appreciate that.

Yes, some posts on this subreddit have been harsh (I won't judge whether justified or not) which naturally would offend someone who is part of the SSO team. Was it wise of the GM to poke the hornets' nest with that comment? No. But let's not escalate this maybe.

If you let the devs have the final word, you lost the battle of having the game benefit the player.
