I play in a LARPG (very dorky). The game's been around for about 15 years now. Players have stopped playing through the years, new players have joined, it's like any other group. People come and go and the game adjusts accoringly. Some n00bs are great, some suck, and some people leave all pissed off and start their own game.
Every now and then, an old player that has left the game comes back. In general there's a lot of ass-kissing of these "veteran" players even though some of them have been out of the loop for years. A lot of them have this attitude that they can just come back in and say whatever they want because they used to play a long time ago.
I find this behavior to be uncalled for and pretentious. It's great that old faces pop in, but why do they feel the need to strut and preen after they're the ones who left?
Do you think there's any way to point this out to them in an indirect, subliminal type of manner? Surely someone here has had a similar situation before.

Perhaps if you post some type of allegorical story that closely resembles the situation as you see it, they may pick up the subtle hint and ponder upon it.
Or, you could e-mail them a picture of your breasts and have them immediately accept you into the "cool crowd" by association.
And that's all I have to say about that.
Sorry I can't offer any more helpfull advice. I see that I have won the hourly prize, and I have to go now.

Taco, let me see if I understand you correctly and allow me, if I may, to quote you:
I find this gabbehavior to be uncalled for and pretgabentious. It's gabgreat that old gabfaces pop in, but why do theygab feel the need to strut and preen gabafter they're the ones who left?
Do you think there's any way to point this out gabto them in an indirect, subliminalgab type of manner? Surely gabsomeone here has had a similar gabsituation before.
I haven't seen this phenomenon myself, so I'm sorry, but I can't help you with that.

You know what else I hate? When these old players complain about how us new players do things, but instead of showing us how it's done they just stand and bitch about it.

I'm at the intermediary phase were I'm no longer part of the young crowd with their crazy music and wacky antics but I'm not in to the Shakespeare older people are into either.
It's like middle school all over again except instead of having dreams of driving and girls to get me through I get to look forward to throwing my back out and prostate exams.

Not to bump my own awesome thread or anything, but CandieKhorne's recent thread kind of reminded me of this.
I'm all in favor of old timers returning and all, but pitch in to fix the problems or STFU.

I loves me some Taco.
I read the other thread but decided posting anything in it would just keep it going and fuel the flame.
Funny, that here of all places would be considered a recruiting ground. One of the last things Leppy ever said to me was that they were seeing a mass drop out over there due to the rampant suckage and overbearing egos of some of the old timers who were lording over the board. I took his word for it.
Life's too short to join a club who's core is hatred for another club.

Some of the LARPing looks kind of fun like the renaissance human chess team. The one here in Tampa is like WWE meets chess with real weapons. But, the Lord of the Rings and Star Wars people are just scary stupid. Its kind of like playing war when I was little, "I shot you, you're dead!", "No I'm not, you missed! BANG BANG!".
I would tell the old people that they have to be reinitiated, and by that I mean they have to bend over and get a light saber shoved up their butt.
