[Eliza Creststeel]

I actually interacted with Walter quite a bit, he even complimented Eliza by name in front of the gathering for comments I made.

MY POINT was that when the EITC showed up, there was little interaction other than them warning pirates to back away and stand down while they arrrested Walter.

The scene was completely meant to get the players motivated to stand with Walter and drive the EITC off. I GET THAT. But it just seemed too stilted, like they were going through the motions during the scene.

Perhaps it was because there were a lot of players gathered or because they did it all the night before and would be doing it again and again and again on the all the other servers... the same scene.

I've done a ton of roleplaying in my days and there is something to be said for static exposition. It has to be done to promote the story, but often those in attendence feel they had no say. That's what I saw.

At any time I have encounter GMs - anytime you engege them in more of a "role playing" stance they tend to give out more information and you get better stuff...

Just pointing out that though "role playing" may not be the best use of their time or resource - but if you're willing to play along they actually try to engage you hoping to encourage others around and answer more of your questing with more info
