Re: Deck Chairs on the Titanic

As unpleasant as it may be from a player's point of view, I think it's worthwhile accepting that a game is there solely because the admins wish it to be. If the players don't like the way it's run, they can vote with their feet, and typically do. Everybody can come up with ways they believe that a game's administrator 'should' behave, but it's a bit worthless, because you have no power or right to enforce that, no matter how reasonable your expectation. You're not a shareholder, and in most cases you're not even a customer. You're just a visitor. The best recourse is to believe in survival of the fittest - run your game the way you think is right, and the presence or absence of the players in time will tell you something about your approach.
