ALFA Evolved.

The NEW ALFA !!
Sweeping reforms have been made to our ambitious project. If you have looked at ALFA before and found that our community wasn't for you please take the time to have another look! If you were a member and left to find greener pastures, come back and look at ALFA Evolved.
As part of the PR team, I would like to make this conjecture.
We would like more members, builders, server hosts, players ect...
The first step in that process is to locate folks that would fit our FRCS PW.
As 4th ed, WOW, EQ and other games captivate the bulk of the "younglings" with their flashy action orientated systems we must concede that the bulk of our recruiting pool are experianced gamers, folks that have played in NWN1, D&D. We cannot hope that our restrictive community will draw in the "younglings" when easy exp and treasure have moved in all around us.
Very few people in the NWN community are unaware of us.
So how do we get those people, the ones that never gave ALFA chance? How do we convince those that left ALFA, that we are worthy of a second look.
We have to let everyone know that we are different, that we have changed. I have been gone for 2 years, and it is the same crap as before.
Insanity is repeating the same thing over and over again and expecting different results. We have tried to fix alot of different things.
Duck hit the nail on the head and prompted me to post this.
We are a community of spiteful children, and mature adults at the mercy of the spoiled children. They scream in the grocery store wanting candy, and we give it to them so they will be quiet for a bit. They kick each other and pull at their sisters hair, and we politely ask them to be nice. When the older brother calls his little brother a frickn idiot njub, we as the parents giggle and encourage them to spit in their brothers face. A cousin comes in and says to us, shouldn't we discourage that kind of behavior? The children scream, no the little brother just shouldn't be a wimp, I have a right to be passionate!
I have a RIGHT to insult people.
And we being intimidated, lazy or possibly desperate for the love of our disfunctional children...succumb to their demands to be ALLOWED to be cruel to their brothers and sisters...
We have to spank them, hell we need to get the belt out and beat the snot out of them. In human society the worst punishment is to be shunned from the group. We need to take out the belt making sure the sound of the leather clearing the loops is heard, and smack that tender bottom until it glows red. Once we have done that, by we I mean every member that has common sense and sees how this behavior affects the project and all of us. These outbursts represent all of us. It should not be allowed to continue.
We should create a new forum thread called. "The gutter" or "The back alley" that area should only be viewable to full members, anytime a thread gets out of hand...even a little of track it gets moved to the gutter.
That is the first informal warning for any involved.
If the negative behavior continues then a strike is issued. 3 strikes and you are OUT. Banned for life..
That gives everyone plenty of warning. Hell we could even put it up to a vote before banning.
Once a policy like this is in place, then we advertise our "ALFA Evolved."
Maybe some of the good people would come back then, maybe we would seem professional then.
The nay-sayers, the libetarians, will say:
We should have the freedom!
Who will you appoint to be such a judge?
But so-and-so is soooooo cool, why would we want them to leave?
I gave ALFA a pretty good shot for a second time, and found that just as Duck said, it is still a tragedy. I will go back to the back ground for now, but I have one foot out the door, again.
I will look at posting again after I get my PC, I have suspicions that when I get it hooked up I won't want to deal with this kind of BS anymore.
contrary to what the "bully's" of ALFA would like you to think, plenty of communities get along without the "FREEDOM TO BE A JACK-ASS."
Throughout my life I have ventured to protect folks from bully's, The jock in HS, the drunk step-father, the abusive boyfriend....ect...
These people feed off of the pain they inflict, like a leech, they are unhappy people who want company...
Scrape em off. Stop tolerating it.
See you in a few months. Peace.
