I have played this game for over 1 year; practically its entire life. I have made an enormous amount of friends here, had some of the most interesting and tantalizing conversations of the year were right here, on kdice.com. I enjoyed the game -- but mostly because of the great friendships, and spunky personalities that it seemed to foster.
On many occasions I have likened the upper eschelon of kdice to professional wrestling. Many of the characters and people are 'larger than life' and many play roles that they have either created, or were created for them -- sortof an impromptu form of creative entertainment for those inclined. Ever since I met and began talking to Ryan, deep down I felt as if he were playing a role too, akin to Vince McMahon, who for many years played the role of "evil president." Sadly, more recently Ryan's act seems to have gone to his head -- gone are the days of playing the game, and enjoying the people. Some background. For many months now, myself, as well as a few other vocal players have requested repeatedly to have rules and guidelines posted. We were interested in team games, censorship, and the definition of PGA -- all these requests were completely ignored. Recently, Ryan posted once to the forum, declaring "PGA" to be unfair and "therefore cheating", however subsequent requests for clarification, as well as an immmense crying out from the kdice community were not only ignored, but completely erased from the site with no explanation. This is a recurring trend in Ryans actions lately: CENSURE with no EXPLANATION; and while some have come to his defense, after all, it is "his game" -- he would have nothing without his players, and his draconian and totalitarian treatment of them in recent months is not only unfounded, but dispicable. KDICE IS NOTHING WITHOUT ITS PLAYERS. In the last week, Ryan has banned, muted, or benched, numerous players without cause. He has given no explanation, and quite honestly I don't think he has one. He has repeatedly singled out certain players based on accusations that are ABSOLUTELY UNTRUE in the current time, and has ignored a much, much larger group of people who do infact do exactly what he has deemed cheating -- and they do it blatantly, in the open, and WITHOUT FEAR OF REPRISAL. I have asked him why -- but expect no response beyond unwarranted CENSORSHIP and deletion of this thread, as he has so FRIVILOUSLY AND REPEATEDLY done in the past. Ultimately, I believe the problem is that Ryan chooses to attempt to control the kdice population, something he really has no business doing -- and certainly has no business doing based on his half assed one sided enforcement of rules he refuses to make public. Rash unfounded actions which are abhorred by a majority of the community is no way to create a peaceful and friendly environment in which to play. I have many friends, and many "enemies" in this game; but one thing that is constant among them all is their objection to the UNFREE and UNJUST actions which seem to randomly plague the game's creator. The only question left is: When will it happen to you? postscript: ryan, i actually like you (and you know that).. sorry you refused to listen to reason for six months. |

at 10:23 PM, Sunday January 31, 2010 EST So like if Ryan treats us so poorly, why do we all keep playing?
He has no incentive to change his ways. Hell he probably even gets a good laugh from random banning every now and again. |
