stede player is very possessive of their character and i think feels that he should be involved in all the things (tm) but then doesn't want to put the effort in to do that. as other anons have said they don't even like the themes of this game. they also seem to take it v personally when another player/character talks about leaving stede's crew. stede's crew that could be actively engaging with the meta plot in a fun way, but again that would require stede player, as their leader (bc we all know ed player won't) to think up literally anything off their own back that isn't a social mixer log. don't get me wrong those do have their functions but that's the extent of their engagement. between that, their shallow read on the character to begin with, refusal to actively engage in plot or respond to hooks when they're given/shut hooks down, whining on plurk and in discord, like why are they here are they even having fun?

lmao at them taking characters icly leaving their crew as a personal offense

my dude, i'd imagine at least a few of those characters were expecting to be banding together for some kind of mutiny or ship takeover at some point, since that's. literally what pirates do. sure it would probably fail, but there were expectations that there would at least be an attempt. especially with this fucking primo contract opportunity just sitting there on the table??

are they really so surprised that those characters would be unimpressed and bailing for more productive uses of their time after the fifth social mixer with 0 established ic plan to address the ship situation

even without getting into the obnoxious ooc handwringing, i just can't fathom what the player was expecting to icly happen here

not for lack of characters suggesting mutiny. ofc it would fail but who cares. maybe something good would have come from it. from what i understand that contract applies to stede bc its stede's contract, even if he isn't in physical possession of it (which he is not). If it were down to who physically had it at least it could be passed off to another player to use.
