This was once a wonderful game and easily the best Shadowrun game on the web. However, this all changed in the latter part of 2008 with the rise of a group known as the Watchers. Founded by a long idle player and former staffer, the Watchers have gradually tried to take over the game by virtue of their leader's friendship with the headwiz. They are a clique of people who think that they can play however they want, that other players and their feelings aren't important.

Multiple members of this group had been on staff, and were then asked to leave due to a variety of issues, including leaking of staff alts to their members. The Headwizard of the game is himself a member of this group, and in spite of his assurances that he will stay out of decisions regarding them, as soon as the chief of staff is away for a week, he immediately turns around and overrules his own policies regarding building ownership for one of the members, who also happens to be a staffer. Said staffer has, since returning to the staff of the game, been guilty of making numerous attacks against other players on the game.

The situation is bad, with at least one staffer leaving, and possibly three more to follow, including one of the founders of the game. It is impossible to play on this game any more, because of the blatant abuse of the players by the Watchers and the Pro-Watchers members of the game's staff. I cannot, in good conscience, recommend that anyone play on Shadowrun Denver, until such time as these matters are resolved.
