@Bessarion you’re being disingenuous and it is bothering me that you keep @ting KB when I was the one who called you out, I am the one on Shattered, and I am the one who doesn’t want anything to do with you.

Good luck with your game. I hope you can prove everyone wrong. This isn’t a great start to it.

sao

@bear_necessities to be fair, aren’t you and @KarmaBum basically the same person just like @tsar and @Snackness?

bear_necessities

@sao We’re married with 12 children but also the same person so yes this is pretty accurate

Bessarion

@bear_necessities Honestly? I get the two of you mixed up in my head. Don’t attribute to malice what is best attributed to me being an idiot. And I don’t want anything to do with you, either.

KarmaBum

@bear_necessities is my sock-puppet

@KarmaBum @bear_necessities One of my favorite running jokes on early GH was how you guys had the exact same schedule and would almost always log on at the same time, despite being far away from one another.

@KarmaBum dammit YOU are the sock puppet not me, I am a bear in a bat suit.

KarmaBum

@Pyrephox It was funny TO YOU GUYS.

We were over here like “omg I think I lived like a mile away from there but two years earlier”

and “lol that was also my dog’s name how weird”

and eventually “holy fuck, how do our children who were born in different states still have the same furniture - AND IT’S NOT LIKE FROM A CHAIN-STORE, it’s random furniture that I got from a furniture store that I had never been to ever before in my life”

and now finally it’s fine, someone else also has my life, we can’t all be originals

Pyrephox

@KarmaBum Now I feel like if we ever saw a photo of you two, it’d be like…ALMOST the same photo, but with enough unsettling details different that it just wigs the viewer out.

@Pyrephox I have bought us matching t-shirts in the past but my hair is much darker!!!

KarmaBum

@Pyrephox see why i’m all into this mandela effect? lived experience, my friend.

@sao said in MU Peeves Thread:

@Bessarion If all of this is sincere, and a mistake, etc – why do you have a rule on your game against doing this exact thing that you appear to be doing?

This surprised me not at all. This behavior is gross. Literally had to ban someone from Arx for doing this same exact shit. I support fresh starts but it’s not a fresh start if you go right back to doing this shit that ruined your reputation in the first damned place.

Also, it’s different between coming back as a player on the down low and coming back as a game runner. I don’t think you needed to announce your return as a player as long as you are making every effort to avoid people that you absolutely know don’t want anything to do with you. As a game runner, in order to foster trust, transparency is required to some degree. Hiding who you are isn’t transparent and this was always going to lead to your players feeling deceived because it was more important to you to have a fresh start than for you to care that people you hurt deserve to know who they are dealing with.

Peeve. I’m feeling left behind by this hobby. I’m discouraged that it feels like in order to play on any of the games where my friends play, I’d have to compromise my comfort and place my trust in people who… I haven’t experienced being all that cool. And I think I feel it even more because for a minute, I had a relatively active little rp bubble before folks moved on to the next thing.

sao

@helvetica Aw man, this is a sucky feeling. I’m sorry.

RightMeow

@helvetica

I feel left behind in the games on a level that I just can’t seem to find the time or the people to RP with. I use to have a whole circle, so I get it.

Also please don’t compromise your comfort or trust. It has never led a person to great things. Maybe you could Discord RP? I hear people do that. Then you don’t have to set up a MU* and it can be just people you trust.

I hope you feel more interested and invested.

I had to throw this mental image into DALL-E to see how faithfully it’d recreate it. Spoilered for people who gets disturbed by AI imagery.

Edit: That wasn’t the image I meant to pick out but it works all the same. Your bond is unbreakable.

Snackness

@Jumpscare Oh god and also, accurate

SpaceKhomeini

Every time someone makes a reference to something I don’t recognize and I have to remind them I never set foot on Arx and I have no idea what the fuck they’re talking about –

And then they try to explain with another Arx-related reference

Herja

Yeah, man, fuck those Arx people. They are just so annoying.

Snackness

Should I…should I post the thing?
