I agree with Muse on this issue.
It almost seems like very little people can accept change anymore. A major pack gets challenged for or contested and everyone is either cool with it or they immediately protest and rage and angst. And if it's overthrown, it leaves me pitying the person that won because they won't be treated like they deserved it. They won't be treated like they're worth respect because they fought for what they wanted. Nobody except for a select few is going to clap them on the back and say, "Wow, you deserved it!" because they're so bitter about something as simple and petty as change. They're going to sit and brood and add people to their "hate list" because all they tried to do was make the site exciting.
This is a member-driven plot. There is no grand storyline we have to follow. There is no constant, site-wide plot that you have to conform to and that is moderated by the admins. The actions of your character make or break the events that go on. Not some grand scheme cooked up by the staff. Not some restrictive scenario that everyone must conform to. It's driven by *you* and what *you* decide to do. Alacritis is a body. The forum itself is the skeleton without everyone to help it function. But the most important thing is that Alacritis is a child that is caught in eternal growth, and that is how it's supposed to be.
What's NOT supposed to happen is people reacting with mass outcry to change accomplished fairly and with good reason like, for example, winning a pack challenge.
Would you purposefully stunt the growth of a child? No? Then don't stunt the growth of Alacritis by making people terrified of challenging or upsetting the balance of a pack or the pack relations. Cause trouble. Make peace. Hurt some bitches if they'll let you. Make enemies. Make friends. Make love. Make babies. Cut some people. Break some bones. Make a brothel/harem out of Glaciem and a relaxed pack out of Amenti. Do whatever. This is your world. This is your plot. It's all a giant collaboration between you and everyone else. You may not always have control over the growth, and some parts of it might be unwanted, but instead of trying to control the weather, try to brave through it because no matter what, there will always be a hand extended to those who try their best to roll with the punches, and they will always pull you home.
Muse, I hope people quit being so irrational. I love you to death and I hope that people will calm their tits and let you and everyone else do what they want. <3

prone to violent reaction. ic actions have ic consequences and she lives and breathes it.public enemy #1
crawl. crawl more. drag your hands and knees across the destruction left in my wake to the ends of the earth. there's a green light of a shining star in my sky and there will not be an obstacle i will not overcome until i cup that star in my palms. the void in my will has been filled with purpose. so crawl. crawl more, love.
because i like it when you're on your knees.
