Suspected Superhero Creeping Or Something

Here’s my takeaway – do with it as you will. As a person that sees these thread titles and immediately wants to throw up - I’m glad it’s not him.
Since every time I see that my heart stops and I worry I’m playing with him again or yet again, he’s stirring up some drama for my char I’m not going to be aware of until I trip over it.
So, I’m glad it’s not him, but could we maybe perhaps slide to another thread about Lithium or the Sip The Tea thread or something and leave this for the actual DWOPP spotting when/if it happens?
If not, that’s okay too. It’s just my slight could we please, but I’m not going to hate anyone if the answer is no. I just was following this conversation for a specific reason that was proven inaccurate.

I think the takeaway here is that I should always use Charles Manson in my analogies whenever I want to actually say Hitler. It seems to catch on.
It’s an alternative to invoking Godwin that appeals to me greatly and I shall adopt it in my own flaming work.
You’re just going to end up creating Pavel’s Corollary.
You lot are going to end up creating Pavel’s Coronary if this type of chatter keeps up.

I’d be up for renaming the thread, and leaving DWOPP talk for when/if they pop up again.
ETA: Title edited.

Gonna stop you right there: it ain’t just one person.
If this is all some huge mistake that’s somehow managed to rope in half a dozen people I personally know of, then I am genuinely sorry for the bad luck that brought it on you, but under the circumstances I am inclined to believe that while you may have felt you were doing your best, your approach still needs work.

That’s pretty fair. You’ve alluded to hearing things from others, and I believe you, and that they were unnerved! BUT. We’ve also had people in this thread talk about how things were fine right up until the SUS was thrown. Something that is otherwise innocuous – or at least, not THAT GUY – is gonna seem, feel, hit a lot worse under that cloud.
That said, I think you’re probably right that the approach still needs work. I mean, who among us does not have work to do, for one, and for two, that log with Jean looked awk before the context.
We haven’t had much context about what happened with Betsy, and tbh, I doubt we will. But from what we HAVE seen – Jean and Warren, Warren and Tony – I think Kestrel’s bullet points hit best for me:

- Lithium is not DWOPP
- Runescryer is kind of a jerk
- Lithium is kind of a creep

Can we hear some examples of what they were doing? I believe you that half a dozen people were uncomfortable with Lithium, but I really wish people would step forward with some concrete examples so us bystanders could really judge these people we don’t play with on this game we don’t play on.
Especially with Jean-player shooting down the one logged example that was offered up as her being totally fine with the RP.

This is a fair ask, but it is not my place to tell stories that were told to me in confidence. I don’t believe any of the individuals I’ve been talking to even have BMD accounts, and I think only one has an MSB account, so it seems unlikely to me they will tell their own stories.
All I feel comfortable saying is, I don’t believe this this was a sudden thing. People have been complaining about him to me about his behavior for a while now, across at least two alts whose names I caught.

I get that, but in that case you should not even bring them up.
This is what Runescryer also said. “People have told me x! So much x! But I can’t say who or give details, that’s for them to do if they want.”
It’s a suspicious look. If you were sworn to secrecy, keep the fkin secret and shhhh.

On the one hand, I’d like to agree with this - simply because it makes life easier if we only assess claims based on evidence.
On the other, knowing that there are others out there with similar experiences - even if they’re unvoiced - can be a catalyst to people speaking out about their experiences too.
-
@hellfrog I didn’t bring them up for you or for this audience. I brought them up for Lithium, on the chance that they really believe they did their best at all times and is just the subject of some malicious conspiracy. If that is the case, then it may help them to do better if they knows how many people felt uncomfortable enough around them to leave channels they were on and avoid events they signed up for. It may inspire them to reflect and to think about how their behavior looks to others.
If they, or anyone else, will not believe me because I do not provide details, then that is unfortunate, but I did the best I could while obeying my conscience. You can choose to believe whomever you find more convincing, and I sincerely hope your choice works out for you.

as someone who has had nameless ‘others’ used against me multiple times even when i know i have never done shit to anyone-- i am probably super touchy about this subject.
-
@Meg That is perfectly valid, and I’m sorry it’s happened to you.
-
Based on anon reporting, I am the most reviled player on my primary game, after all.
-
@GF It’s not really about believing or disbelieving, it’s about breaking confidences that are purportedly keeping you from giving details.
-
@GF It’s really not difficult to not use he/him pronouns when the person in question has specifically mentioned they’re not correct. So, stop.

What’s “a while”?
Because @Lithium was only on the game for 9 days (Warren was approved on the 13th based on the New Arrivals forum), and they played Warren and Lobo.
Macha played Pepper/Betsy/and apparently Bobbi.
Someone else played Scott, and I wanna know more about that guy! we know why Macha got banned. What did the Scott player do that got them booted?

You’re right, I’m sorry. I wasn’t thinking.
