"We can give her what we never had as children." ------------------------------------------------------ Durkin, Durkin & Durkin ------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------ I want to appreciate everyone, who ever participated in the story of Patrick Durkin. For all the fun scenes and sad ones too. And the Saint Denis community first and foremost. -
Hey Goldberry. For a long time now RPQM has been working on these issues internally. We do not publicise the actions we are taking bar the few circumstances where we have addressed the server at large; one of which was in fact with regards to the exact thing you mentioned. Nevertheless, we still do not ever release the individuals we have worked with and never will due to the sensitive nature of our school of work. Rest assured we do work hard on these issues. STRP 1.0 made it very difficult to assert change because people had been permitted these less realistic concepts when the server first began when there was no quality management. It was unfair for us to retroactively say “you can’t do that now” when the previous cast of admins (whose values vastly differed to ours today) told them it was A-OK. Hard reset, however, resolves that problem. Hope that answers your query. -
Is ST 1884 going to try and be more time period accurate? Because the only time I see that people even try to be historical is when it comes down to being racist. The 19th century wasn't full of pants wearing, gunslinging, publically open lesbians everywhere and that's like 50% the server's population. -

The miniscule herd of swine was lost to the damned hurricane. What little crop had survived the floods burned down in September, leaving only (if even) enough to sustain the farm itself until the next seeding. Yet the most devastating blow, literally, rocked Bogview on 1st of December. Locals and travellers that happened to wander nearby, speak of an epic explosion that tore the Bogview farmhouse apart at dusk. It was only later that the locals and the law determined that the explosion was caused by a distillery and what they assumed to be a vast stock of moonshine in the workshop, as evident by a sea of glass shards. Even more moonshine and medical alcohol was found in the granary, and by the looks of it, John Sallow had taken his time honored pastime into a full blown trade. Yet in the rubble there were no signs of Sallow himself or the chinaman he called Hurricane Henry. The resident Doctor from Poland was nowhere to be found either. It is unclear whether they had left before, or fled in the wake of the disaster. Deserted yet again, Bogview would lie in rest until the next poor soul would come to acquire it and be forced to rebuild it from ruin yet again. ======= This faction was a one man run for the most part, but that did not make it any less enjoyable. Special thanks to those that actively partook in it : @w3wh_23 @Tasnik @Rat_ I also want to thank other factions and people that regularly interracted with us during the run : @J0ZIAH @Bishopthebluehaireddrummer @Captain Adams, Hennry Matthews and to others I may have forgotten. And lastly, I appreciate the people from the whitelist board who gave me the chance to run the place. Please L&A. -

To back up what @MiaMika said, several individual players have been spoken to, warned or removed from the community for using our permission to racial undertones in roleplay as an outlet for their racist self. We ask that it is done respectfully and with thought and you can often spot a clear difference between giving a distasteful topic justice in writing vs. self-insert internet racists. So, if you happen to give STRP another shot down the line and see a recurring theme of thoughtless slurs being thrown for the sake of doing it, feel free to approach staff or submit a report. Unfortunately we're not all-seeing to every roleplay scenario that goes on. If you think somebody is getting away with things they shouldn't, likely chances are that their conduct hasn't been brought to our attention. And to anyone reading this guilty of such roleplay, do better. -
The simplest answer is OOC racism/bigotry is absolutely not allowed, IC it is. The time period doesn't substantially change that. The issues of bigotry in American society were prevalent in the 1880s, the 1900's, and unfortunately well into the future outside of the time periods we'd ever consider setting in. We're not doing an 'alternate history' that side-steps that. For the rare individuals that use historical racism as a vehicle to interject their modern prejudices and use the setting to do a thin veiled pantomime of what's clearly OOC bigotry? Staff aren't obtuse to that. That sort of thing has been handled before. I, personally, have very little patience for that. There's also a reason racial hatred factions (ie doing the KKK) are restricted concepts and heavily scrutinized. At the end of the day historical-themed roleplay inherently includes some mature and unpleasant topics from the era its set in. If handled with maturity by players they can be part of meaningful narratives, much like any good film, book, or T.V show set in an era has the potential to do so.
