Thoughts from a new comer

I am so glad that somebody said this! As a new player I didn't want to bring it up and have people hate me for it but it really is a shame that I should have felt like people would be mad at me in the first place!

The first thing I noticed when I came onto this site is all of the personal, political, and many times childish, cut throat arguments and I can tell you that I did not start playing this game to add drama to my life! People are always going to have problems with each other but it is so much more civilized to email them, especially because maybe then what gets said won't be so hurtful and the rest of the bg community won't feel the need to take sides.

I have been so happy to see people airing their grievances over the past week and asking for forgiveness in the name of bringing in a new crowd to the game and I hope that it continues.

What Chuck said is absolutely right, the drama is a deterrent, and it did almost turn me away from the game.
