Holy frig a rig.
Okay. Okay.
This is probably beating a dead horse at this point, but whatevs. It's dead, it can't feel it, it's not cruel anymore, it's just weird. Besides, I like to hear myself er.. Type. I'm my own clique
1. Cliques are not bad.
Also the point of the board is kind of cliques. Every faction is a clique. When your character has friends and you specifically like writing with those folks, thats a clique. The staff are a clique because yes, they are a group.
This does not mean they are the illuminati.
Tefka is definitely not having his strings pulled, trying to guess how he will react to things is actually a fun game. Sometimes he comes down with the Tyranny hammer on things just because they DO feel a bit cliquey or stink of favourtism.
As for the codex/factory etc.
I don't know if all Judges do this, but my judgey friends WILL NOT judge any of my submissions, or anyone from their main faction. For the express purpose of avoiding favouritism claims.
Are some Judges tougher than others? Absolutely. But you can always appeal. I am not sure if it's actually a thing, but I would totally just reach out to another uninvolved Judge and ask for a second opinion if I REALLY disagreed with a ruling. And I'm confident I would get that second opinion. The flip side of this of course is if that second judge also said no, or wanted more devs or whatever, well, that's fair and I'll abide by it. Someone else recently got treated differently? Link it. Have an actual logical case, not just a whine. Nobody loves a whiner.
2. People are mean to meee~ ; ;
Yes. Some people are jerks. Such is life. Theres like fifty two billion people on here. Don't write with them.
Also, sometimes their snarkiness is justified. Look at what you actually said/did. Maybe the problem is you. Not always, but sometimes this is true.
3. Its a conspiracy! Everyone hates me! Kark the world!
You could.. You could just quit. Go write somewhere else. It's not a big deal. This is supposed to be fun. If you legitimately feel all oppressed like and aren't just being an attention seeking special snowflake who in an internet rebel.. Stop writing here. There are other RPs. There are other Star Wars RPs. Some of them are even half decent and active.
Or you know what? Make your own. If you really don't want anyone telling you what to do, or repressing you or whatever, there is absolutely nothing stopping you from making your own board. Just know that it's a lot of work and IF you're successful and make it big, you'll soon have little buggers running about your board doing things you don't like and crying out what a tyrant you are.
Such is the internet.
TL;DR
Less QQ, moar pewpew. Or switch games.
Also [member="Valiens Nantaris"], you can be in my clique when you finally realize
orange is better than blue
