This is NOT because I'm "not getting my way".
This is because I'm just tired of trying to constantly fight over the mechanics and the future of the server.
I've been in several different servers, and have played with several different mechanics.
Don't get me wrong; I enjoy playing and working with y'all, but sometimes it just starts becoming too much, and I start getting way too frustrated over things because it feels like we're just going in circles, and regardless of what is said, it doesn't fully matter.
For example - the addition to Endurance; terrific, that's new and different. But immediately pulling back the idea of using rolls and wanting to do a "trust based system", gives many players the finger. It then becomes a powergame fantasy, where if things aren't going your way, then you can basically say, "No rolls", and force things upon the players. And while yes if this was a world where everything is just, and everyone is on the same wavelength and full acknowledges every tiny little bit, and doesn't powergame by somehow having a bullet skid across their arm, and they're suddenly safe, and actually takes the hit... then shit, life would be grand!
But that, is NOT the case.
And as far as trying to code things (by doing what I mentioned as using the DnD mechanic... by placing TWO POINTS into say Strength, then you get a +1 modifier).. it would fix the problem of a player getting a 19+10, and just getting a 19+5. This can be done, because I've literally seen this coded.
And the other problem is placing coding all on one person: there are groups that literally have a good handful per team to do coding, or maybe mapping, or whatever mind you! That way not every last thing, is placed on one individual.
I don't know. I'm just, too tired.
You may remove anything I have made. Both on server, forums; it doesn't matter. I'm just, done.
Good luck folks. I hope you have fun.
