Why is Pack closing?

I’m not familiar with Rex/Sovereign either. From the sounds of it thankfully so.
Cian/Bear was also that1ginger and Yossarian on Ares. He’s also a known associate of MacKenzie. The two are often found on games together and allies.

@Cobalt No wonder your ass was tired.

Lileas – Player was snarky at me because I originally didn’t allow otters or seals on the game, because they felt too “fae” for me. And while I agreed there was a good point that I allowed cats and foxes, the way they presented the argument was really troll-ish, so I asked them to leave. In hindsight, I’d probably just tell them to be less sarcastic and let them play. But I got really tired of the “lolol, you allow were-foxes but noooo all seals are selkies” responses.
You super don’t need my permission or anything , but man-- if you’re feeling guilty over this one, I wouldn’t.
Being a jerk in the way you approach thematic questions or disagreements is in my opinion a super bannable offense. It won’t be the last time they make someone feel bad for disagreeing - and they will make your life harder. IME, these are the sorts of folks who drain a gamerunner’s energy until it’s dry.

@Tat Just imagine if they didn’t get banned, and they stayed to play. That would be one toxic person.
-
So wait - the guy in the log with Macha was reported and verified to be a creeper, too? lol

This same player, however, also did do some shady stuff by going through staff to ask to be given a home at another player’s build without speaking to that other player… Who was someone who asked for non-contact with them, and when I called them on it they told me “I was hoping we could be friends again”.

Game is still down, I’ve tried to restart it, tried restarting the full server, and tried doing a devstart. I’m not sure what happened as the logs aren’t being very helpful. I’ll try to get it back up.
ETA: Is it irritational paranoia to wonder if the game going doing when I’m busy RL isn’t just a coincidence?

@Cobalt I get you. When @Pavel installed the spoiler tags without warning and the forum crashed I was like

If it’s any comfort, the people you’ve listed as possibly having a grudge against your game have never showed the skill necessary to take a game down before, at least that I’ve ever heard of.

They’ve had a few other names as well, previously played Arx before getting banned from it for winding up staff for a laugh. Usually they just change their discord name to the new persona. But definitely one to watch out for.

You know, reading that log reminded me of those old, cheap, pulp, paperback romance novels that used to be popular in the 1980s.
There was a whole genera of them about women “sexually healing” broken men. The books basically revolved around a woman picking a man with a problem then “fixing” him until he was her perfect romantic partner. The very epitome of bad fantasy because it never works like that.
-
Didn’t hang around long enough for the game to close. Macha/Mackenzie drove me off by being a Mean Girl, and mispaging some smack talk ABOUT ME to me mid-scene, where I wasn’t even interacting with her.
Not @Cobalt 's fault. I just wasn’t interested in that crap. It was a great theme that sounded like a lot of fun, but that interaction just killed my drive.
-
I’m sorry that happened.
-
@Cobalt Not your fault!
I don’t blame you in the slightest. What RP I did have was enjoyable, especially in what staff-run scenes you had the time for.
