 Something Needs to Change

People aren't having fun.
For good reason too and I can only apologize for disappointing you. I don't want to defend my actions, because I can't. I'd like to be able to say "trust me, things will change" but I haven't earned that trust yet.
I'm not a great, or even a good ST. I just wanted to make sure that we could all still play the game.
The last thing I can do now is ask your help. Help me understand the game you would like to play, so that I can give it to you.

Hey I been there... taking over a game that had issues. Now you have baggage to deal with and players with characters that you were not part of the design of.
Let me know how I can help.
I think the basics are rule finalization which you have been on top of.
Lastly for me I was sent to Sacramento blindly. Things are smoothing out now but to have a mage centered on investigation and getting things for the Mysterium start with no clue of what is going on was rough. That is not an issue you caused but rather you inherited.
When I started my mortal LF gave me a basic low down. It was short but gave me a basic idea of where I stand.
Maybe some type of basics for the mage game would be nice... we know the city was a ghost town for mages. But Dee shows up there and there is not only a FC sanctum but there are also Mysertium in the city too. I had the impression I was the 1st Mysterium scout. So it effects expectations and how one plays.

I'm having fun. Well except for the threat of being arrested by the Keystone Cops....ur... Guardians. I dont agree with some of the choices, and I've brought some of those up in PM. I'll leave them to PMs for the time being as well.

Never claimed anyone to be a bad ST here. We all appericated you taking the reins to keep the thing running along. We knew it had issues going in. Getting rules nailed down has been a major concern across the spectrum. Your also coming into a pre-existing structure not something you built yourself. Its always an awkward postion for awhile doing that.

Stone Thorn is designed to be a cross-over heavy character. Werewolf/Spirit and Changeling primarly. He's a investigator and a researcher. He's an Arrow but he's not the guy that whips out the railgun and clears the field in one pass. He's the guy that de-buffs the baddies so they all fall down so they can get mowed like grass by the guy with said railgun. He's the guy that gets the information that finds out you have to shot them all in the left foot to kill them and designs the attack plan to do it. I dont kill you in a 2-minute brawl. I make your life a living hell for the next 20yrs with bad luck and spirits harrasing your every waking moment.

"The last thing I can do now is ask your help. Help me understand the game you would like to play, so that I can give it to you."
The only thing I would ask is that if you send people who are truly trying to be cooperative, that they be a little less abrasive, especially when someone is trying to make diplomatic concessions. For example, I want the best out of my employees.
If I pull an employee in that i think is messing up, I can't come out swinging with "You idiot". If I do come out by saying that, unless they are a meek person, they have shut down. Even if they are a meek person, they give up because nothing I will say will make them feel better after that.
Just a thought.

My expectations are fairly mundane. In no particular order:
I want to be immersed in an interactive world.
I want to explore the effect of power in the hands of Mortals.
I want to explore facets of my character which have been in my head, but never crystallized in game. (tentative check)
I want to explore the interaction of men who can move mountains.
I want to explore the possibilities of other Supernals. (tentative check)
I want to explore the dichotomy of my character, i.e. the strategist Acanthus vs. the frivolous Acanthus.
I think that's all.
Oh. And I want to kick some asses and have fun.
Yep. That's all.
I'm pretty confident that you can deliver
