a pretty egregious invasion of privacy it might be

Of course boilerplate no expectation of privacy using someone else’s system etc, etc, etc…

It’s not only deeply unethical, at least with my particular code of ethics; it’s mindbendingly fuckin’ stupid. What is even the point? If you wanna read 'em because you’re creepy, why post them?

Normally I can figure out the reasoning behind heinous crappy decisions, but I’m honestly at a loss here. What’s the point?

Expression of power. Potential humiliation of a person you don’t like.

I suppose. I was hoping for something more tantalising than bog standard “is a fuckstick.”

I was going to originally point this out, but I also didn’t want my eyes to roll out of my head. An yeah it should go without saying that we technically play on other people’s digital playground and the game runner owns said playground. But we as players also should have the expectation of game runners being decent human beings. An exceedingly high bar, I know.

Likely I’d say some kind of personal satisfaction that they got to read all stuff that wasn’t supposed to be seen by the GM. It’s like those people like that hate-watch content creators on YouTube. And will claim they were trying to find some evidence in order to create some kind of ‘gotcha’ moment.

I could suggest from everything I’ve seen and read so far, it’s because this particular game runner apparently hates all female characters and wants to hoard all the men to herself, but that’d be mean.

See, now I’m being petty. But at least I’m aware of it.

As another provocation? To communicate that you still hold power over an individual? Maybe to pretend there’s still rp happening on the game? It’s difficult to attribute motivation to somebody who acts so far outside the bounds. I’m not super convinced there was even any forethought at all.

Apparently, I’m not as jaded as I used to be. What is the world coming to?

Testament

@Pavel Going soft in our old age.

Pavel

@Testament There are pills for that, now.

This was my first thought because lol 0 active scenes.

It’s a threat. Not an effective one, clearly, but we can all achieve only to the height of our abilities.

It’s kinda sad. We make better threats before we even wake up properly of a morning (afternoon).

Now that you mention it, you cannot convince me that @inuki is not reading the private scenes players are engaging in on their game.

Not a lot to read, then.

Reading RP others are doing is weird to me. I don’t even like reading published logs.
