check Important facts about the first V:EKN set in development

The in-house channels obviously were not working before, so why would it work again now if chosen? Professionalism was breached beforehand in many ways, and irrevocably when power politics entered the IC decision process. There's a reason why secrecy supports power dynamics and tends to be inimical to healthy collaboration.

I want to play VTES as a game, not live it. As a player, give me sunlight, please.


Yes mistakes were made and there was an ongoing process to fix them. He decided not to take part anymore and go public. Nobody tried to play power politics out of the IC.

I am looking forward to our equally well formualated statement, that will not be backed by one person but by many and will try to "set things right" as much as possible.

Also, how can the VEKN even enforce NDAs? They don't have a license for setting or mechanics.


Quite simply: we cannot enforce them. They are a formal representation of an agreement between members of this community, I would dare say friends. They are just clearly showing that this agreement is there. If someone choses to ignore the agreement we cannot impose any penalties upon him, however it will show for the future that simply he cannot be trusted.


zOMG, I sincerely hope that I don't have to read this as an issue of "deal-breaking metagaming" vendettas leaking into Real Life. Intimations of circles of trust and potential ostracism certainly does not bode well for our community. Again, I hope we can play.the.game. (courtesy of... was it Ashur?) and not have to live it.

Seriously, this is why secrecy and power structures don't look like they're helping us. There has to be a better way.

I just came here to say that I invented a word for this thread:

Kutastrophe.

That is all.

Carry on.
