      Frankly, though, I don’t care about fairness in this kind of situation. If it looks like a dumpster fire, I will avoid it even if it allegedly smells like patchouli.

      Right, but the place doesn’t look like a dumpster fire. In fact, I don’t think anything negative has been said about the game itself, just Inuki and some other people that have since left. The game as a whole and what’s being run there sounds great.

      But…

      @BloodAngel said in Numetal/Retromux:

      @Warma-Sheen honestly if you can’t trust the owner or support what they stand for it’s simple vote with your feet. Logging on to a game for a head staffer you dislike or don’t think is safe is still supporting them.

      That I can understand. And agree with.

      I just wish there was a clearer delineation between the two ideas, you know? The people who are there doing good stuff in MU*ing (in a tiny, tiny hobby) don’t deserve to get raked over the coals just because of who the headstaffer is. They can’t do anything about that. I’m sure they’ve tried. If they’ve managed to run a great game in spite of that, it is actually a credit to them. I just think that kind of thing gets missed under all the negativity.

      But I do understand voting with your feet can be a major motivation and impetus for change. I get that people shouldn’t support bad behavior. Agreed.

        @Warma-Sheen Everyone has different threshholds.

        In my own experience, it’s not possible for one part of a game to be fine and the other not fine with no bleedover. But that’s just me.

        ETA: ESPECIALLY if that problem is in any position of power.

          @SockMonkey Not at all. I haven’t watched anything with Jared Leto since the whole “mailed dirty condoms to other actors” thing.

            If it’s being run, in any version of that term, by a person I dislike, then I count that as a dumpster fire. It could be the perfect game oriented precisely to my wants and needs, but if it’s run by someone I can’t trust or don’t like, then it’s a terrible game.

            While true, that’s a little like lamenting people not giving plaudits to the band playing while the captain of the ship is ploughing head-first into an iceberg made of poop. If the band want to have a great performance, they need to be in a better venue.

              @Warma-Sheen has defended Inuki in the past on the other thread.

              Everyone is free to make their own choices on if they wish to play this game or not.

              One of the other staffers is or at least was Gailin of Arx.

                You may be able to avoid the Mage sphere, but if inuki has characters in the other spheres it’s hard to avoid them. 🤷

                  Ah yes, the guy who got banned for asking female players for nudes.

                  ETA: Oh, and sending dick pics, I forgot Herja later mentioned leaving that off of the ban post.

                    Whoever this supposedly “fine” head staffer is, it seems like they are fine hiring some pretty questionable staff, as long as the leopards aren’t (yet) eating their face.

                      Right! The head staffer/owner of the game sets the culture of the game. If they’re a sex pest than chances are they will hire staffers that are sex pests or let sex pests get away with stuff on their games.

                        I mean, the fact that they thought, “I want to make a MU!” and three of the top picks on their Rolodex to help them were Polk, Chookitypok and Gailin from Arx is pretty damning.

                                    Is this game still open? I couldn’t connect.

                                      @RedRocket Yes, we are still up and running. We have had a restructuring and change in management … Pikachu is no longer associated with the game. As such, we switched servers and was planning to announce her complete departure once we rebuild the wiki and what not.

                                            Pika distanced herself from the game quite some time ago. So, when the domain lapsed, those of us who wanted to see the game succeed continued on without her. Hence the moving of the server
