Don’t play here: the environment is dead, role play is made up largely of labored and contrived social scenes, and neither the Staff or elder community make any efforts to get you involved into a story. The Staff also over reaches and uses their powers on a whim to decide punishments.

Roleplay is bad as well, players post thoughts, unknowns, and personal history within their poses that your character should not know or could not know without a power that allows for such insincere or intrusive probing of a character’s thoughts, feelings, or history.

The World of Darkness environment is not respected as a living and breathing reflection of our world. People will casually hand wave threats of death off as nothing to make a social stink about, and act largely in a manner indicative of children with magnifying glasses burning ants, and ignoring the social repercussions of such actions. Players are also expected to play the part of Story Runners; which in turns leads to issues of interests. Flaws are enforced by the player and not from a Story Runner, further diluting role play, and making it narrow, shallow, and avoidable. There is a reason why players don’t role play their own Flaws, Shadow, Avatar, Beast, Rage, or other adversarial role and weaknesses solely themselves: it’s in clear conflict with the player and his/her character. Asking questions out of character will lead to over scrutinization, followed by highly subjective points, leading to your caste as pariah for not conceding or dropping the debate, and have the Staff largely tell you how much of an issue you personally are because you don’t fit the mold. Don’t expect healthy or mature debates. The Staff will bully you into submission. Be thankful they can’t break your knee caps too.

Character approval also took well over 36 hours to attend to. With over 70 players I have yet to see any real meaningful play or plot. The game fights you at every corner, silent as death, and makes no attempts get people involved.
