I think some of Mi-an's earlier game writing was a bit on-the-nose and a bit too obviously meant to be a glorified tutorial/exposition, but I liked the overall dynamic of "here's a fellow new Builder and the two of you get to strut your stuff together instead of working against each other apart" and I'm really sad to see that start to drift away. Yeah, I'm getting worried about Mi-an, like after the new story content we got up to this point, When I talked to her after the tunnel project was approved and it turned out we're taking on the brunt of the commissions and Mi-an's getting totally side-lined, she was trying so hard to be positive about the whole thing but she read to me like she was near tears over the whole thing and that was really sad to see. That might be why she seems so much sadder in the main storyline so far, especially during the Bronco quest where we kind of solved that "mystery" without her. He's trying to do the same to Mi-an, and may be winning. He use to be a lot like Mi-an, and Yan ruined him after a bit. She's working to her fullest and not getting recognized. Plus Yan's bullying and cheating can't be helping. What some of the Players felt about her might be how she's feeling now, though probably a lot less angry about it and just more depressed. Whether it's was naturally intended or a accident due to public pressure, I actually kind of like how the developers might be exploring something like this.īefore, what wouldn't make sense, and what would annoy me, is when Mi-an would be overly cheerful even when her boss was bullying her relentlessly and we were beginning to outshine her to the point where she was kind of irrelevant. Seeing Mi-an's behavior these past few updates makes me wonder if she's developing/having reoccurring depression. She's not getting up until after 8:00 am. And I agree I hope it isn't a character change in her, because some of it doesn't make sense. That's when I saw some behavior change her in though. Perhaps this is, without the story added in yet, some of her tale about overworking taking a toll? We are just missing some more elements on it? It was whenever the com board that you can put in your yard showed up that this started happening. In game real me: Select Chat/Gift/ Face palm <-I wish hehe Still continuing at top vocal levels like an Acme-Alarm-Clock : "BEHIND! The boards have been open for 30 mins and you were SNORING! Really?!" Me: (that she didn't hear) "NO WONDER you lay about, he is kicking your butt!"Ĭontinuing take down, "You are count-em, 8,238 points BEHIND YAN! Behind Mi-mi!! "(That's what I really call her) I can't believe it! Mi-an: "What are you waking me up for?" The following:Īnd drum roll : 4) SHE WAS STILL IN BED!! I was busy getting some of the townies that were just shy of BBF up and Mi-an was one of them, so I did the coms. At first I thought, maybe it was church day at the blue moon and that was why. She just didn't seem to be showing up at all. You know, after one of the updates (can go back and look if you are curious) I noticed that Mi-an stopped racing me to the quest board. If it's marginalizing a character because of Internet 's not good. Putting up a brave front is how I would put it. She spends most of her time in her house reading, whenever we do see her in the story nowadays she seems like on the verge of a breakdown and tries not be noticed. I don't know maybe I am just reading too much into it. Because that would be sad (as in pathetic) bowing to high school level clique pressure. I hope it's not because of the Mi-an Haters I saw at EA release. If that was the planned evolution of the story that is fine.
