OK, this might be a bit preliminary, but it is not far away. MARP is going to die soon. People are bitching and complaining constantly. At any given time, several fights are going on. Yes, fights. You cannot call them discussions anymore. This has gotten way past the point of discussions. Fights about PlayChoice 10 games, fights about T5 games, fights about KoA. And in all cases, the, not necessarily distinct, groups are ignoring the authority of the person in charge. People are blatantly ignoring rules instead of taking them up with the coordinators. Then they get mad when they are caught breaking the rules. Then they question the rules all of a sudden. Why participate in anything if you do not care to uphold the rules? The rules are there to protect you. But the rulebreakers do not care about that. They are above the law. They can break any rule if it pleases them, but they start yelling when someone else beats them by breaking a rule.(posted 9216 days ago)Continue this kind of behaviour, and MARP will die soon. And the only thing we can be glad about is that this is an internet community, because, otherwise, MARP would not be the only casualty; people would die as well.
Man, if all this energy were put into playing games instead of fighting, then we'd see some great scores on MARP, and MARP would flourish instead of being on its deathbed. It's too bad. It was fun while it lasted. I am not ready to leave MARP (yet), but *MARP* is going to leave *us*. Rest In Peace, MARP.
