Told her. Told everyone. Three months ago.
I have rarely felt such validation.

@Noraaa Thank you!
I hope this one-day-to-be-a-classic bit of MU drama came at a not quite entirely infuriatingly inconvenient moment in your lives.

Honestly, it’s incredible. Stunning. 10/10.
Godspeed, @Noraaa

It just struck me…
A thriving community springs up around the sole source of an increasingly rare resource, presided over by an influential female figure. However, behind the scenes, a less popular and well-known figure secretly controls access to this resource, and a power struggle ensues. The unknown figure begins implementing a series of embargoes, blocking access to the resource unless the leading female figure publically validates and acknowledges their control.
Is this the story of Liberation MUSH, or the opening act of Mad Max 3: Beyond Thunderdome?

@Pacha Who rules Bartertown?

It’s funny. From when the game opened, people kept accusing me of being a VASpider, making myself indispensable in order to be unremovable.
But behind the scenes I proved the opposite. When Sundance micromanaged me in WtA, I handed it back to her. When Sundance didn’t want me running MtA, I tried handing it to Lysistrata, and then eventually gave it to Sundance once she hired Reverie and Griffin to run Wampyre and Shifter.
And the server was always under everyone else’s watch. I gave Ambrosia full access not just to the servers, but to the DNS on AWS via an IAM account, to ensure that I was entirely dispensible.
I told her tonight, if you think I’m crazy, if you think I’m untrustworthy, you can be rid of me in a moment.
She declared she wanted me gone. I gave her three, four chances to take it back. She didn’t. So I removed myself from having any OOC role with the game.
It was the only viable option. It was always her game, and she showed me the door. So I left.
-
@Polk Oh yeah and Phan owns the domain. I was always just a guy helping out as the backstop. From before the game opened.
-
@Polk lmao yeah you sure showed her, big man

This post is deleted! -
@Polk Yet so many games have run for years without the person who ‘keeps the lights on’ showing up.
-
@Polk You done messed up man. Best you can do is think about what you did, realize it was wrong, apologize, and hope that folks accept it.
No one argues your right to host/pay for the game or not, but just don’t take your ball and go home when it puts out 100+ others.
-
@numenorean1 She told me to have no OOC role with the game anymore. I honored that demand. It’s her game.
It would have been inappropriate for me to ignore her reasonable request that I leave her game.
-
Nice. A VASpider reference in 2023. My bingo card is getting full.
(Note: I have nothing topical to contribute to any of this)
-
What about her request to:
“But I also need you to help me transition servers in a way that doesn’t negatively affect the others. I’m asking you to do that for me as a favor for old time’s sake. You know I’ve stood up for you in the past. It’s okay to be angry at me now. But let’s not hurt the others here.”
Which you seem to have entirely ignored?
-
@Polk “unwind involvement” != yell and flip over game board
-
@Polk You are literally the reason when they fire or lay people off at some jobs they immediately lock your access and escort you to your desk to pick stuff up. And hey, if you are that guy, then you are that guy. I guess respect for owning it?
-
@Pacha I did help her transition servers all along. Ambrosia has the db. Phan has the domain. She has the website.

@Muscle-Car Funny your signature seems to describe Sundance’s situation perfectly, right now.
