The live-action Mage game I play in just isn't fun any more. Ever since the new cadre of storytellers got in place, it's been nothing but a giant character-fuck. The PCs face huge and unopposable opposition, every single thing they do is wrong and comes back to haunt them, and there's no opportunity for anything but running and hiding. The actions of the NPC organizations are entirely arbitrary, there's no rhyme or reason to what happens...

I wouldn't mind all of this so much if so much energy wasn't being devoted to a colossal ass-raping of my character. They've hated him ever since they took power -- in all seriousness, he was a specific complaint of many of them during the elections period. I don't even know why I continue to play.

We haven't. If I remember correctly, there wasn't much of a reason to. The resistance to it was rather well scaled to its capabilities, though completely losing control of it did seem a bit heavy-handed. I would have preferred strategy to deus ex machina when it came to getting smacked around.

I missed a lot of this... I had no idea that was going on.

I remember your having to rewrite the Wing's effects a while back.

Who can you talk to about this in the Cam power structure? This isn't adding up at all..
