write an abstract at the start of their logs.

I’m available to peer review logs before publication.

@DrQuinn Sure, but explaining a scene like a Tweet just sounds funnier to me.

@hellfrog You just broke Braum’s heart. You monster.

@shit-piss-love The modern version of the staffer DARK stalking, I guess.

[Serafine]

@Pavel The entire thing was a nightmare from start to finish. If your background wasn’t being revised constantly, it was your stats or your advantages or…

I meant to jump into this thread earlier, but I had to mull over what I wanted to say.

You know when you should feel anger, but it’s just a kind of lingering sickness? Like being stood up by Patrick Bateman.

@somasatori I provided an annotated bibliography and just like in grad school, I was “making up nonsense” and “wasting precious research money”

[Serafine]

@Roz You’re not wrong. It was a threat and it remains a threat until there is disclosure.

The “why” of the threat, however, is a bit more interesting.

Let’s say that you, and by “you” I mean in a pretend situation where I am talking to someone named Roz on a messageboard about this unrelated fictitious scenario, actually stood to lose a lot if something this weird fell under professional scrutiny.

“Why are you revising the private exchange between two former people playing… magicians? What is roleplaying?”

This is my suspicion, but given the hasty rush in and out of the hospital for (I forget exactly what, it’s still posted on the bboards) exhaustion/stress/burnout/whatever, which was then blamed on said player…

That doesn’t look good, either. It sorta looks to me like, uh, something I’d pull out of my ass because I was terrified and trying not to show it.

sighs Sorry.

I know you already know.

It was just a really bad, bad, bad, experience. Like booking a vacation abroad and finding yourself in a civil war. >.<

[Roz]

@Serafine I honestly have no idea what you’re trying to say here. That Inuki posted the logs because of…professional scrutiny? What?

[Serafine]

@Roz Well, let me see.

If you were a famous heart surgeon and also a serial killer, and someone knew and had evidence, you stand to lose quite a bit.

Turning the dial on hyperbole down to a 3, this is the behavior of someone who is doing to someone else what they would themselves do: assuming the worst and acting accordingly.

LIke sock-puppeting PCs and humiliating their players after you’ve banned them for absolute nonsense, this looks like the behavior of someone who (in their mind) is trying to take down a threat because they feel they have something material to lose.

For my part, I suddenly understand Barbara Pym on a deeper level.

@hellfrog said in Neitherlands:

@inuki you sound like the asshole here, even in the receipts you shared. And that’s coming from me, a very talented asshole. Your passive aggression is off the charts. Please convert it to actual aggression, it makes it much easier for people to decide if they want to deal with it or not.

Also who the FK logs in a banned player’s character and POSTS THEIR PRIVATE SCENES. There is. Absolutely. No reason. To do that. Ever.

Back in my haunted-memories or maybe it was TR-- I think it was HM --days, I had a player in my sphere who took up almost 90% of my time. Frustrated me to no end, that I was constantly. Every time I’d log into the damned staffbit there’d be a job waiting for me about something he had done or something he wanted to do.

It got to the point where I sat him down and said: Look, you take up too much of my time I have to spent countless hours dealing with you and don’t get enough time for the rest of the sphere. I’m removing you from the sphere for the good of the sphere.

Y’know what I didn’t do after I unapproved his character? I most certainly didn’t log into his character bit and make all his secrets public.

And that anyone would defend @inuki after she did that tells me everything I need to know about that person. Because that sort of stuff is a massive violation of what little expectancy of privacy players have on mushes.

And it gives me the chills RL. It’s gross.

@Warma-Sheen you’re gross for defending @inuki.

@Coin stares off into void

I can find an optimistic take on this. Hold on.

It’s still not as bad as what’s actually happening in the Vatican?

Wait, hold up. Lets circle back to this? @inuki blamed @jenn for having to rush the emergency room?

'Cause damn that is some SWOFA-era level batshitery.

Kiiiiiiiinda wishing I had come to this thread more before apping into Neitherlands, lol.

It has genuinely been a trip, still trying to decide if it’s a good one or a bad one overall. It’s sad because I have met some people who have been really, really fun and cool so far, but it definitely feels more and more like it has a looming expiration date if they don’t pick up more staff and reorganize.

Wizz, buddy, over the course of our peripheral acquaintance we have seldom occupied the same space in the optimism/pessimism divide, and as it seems now is my turn on the latter: there ain’t no reorganizing or added staff that can stop that particular person from being B-A-N-A-N-A-S.

On The Reach she played a nun that was like, banging her priest --they were both Hunters-- and it was just…

Whew.

I am hearing more and more as people show me receipts, rofl.

This would be the quote of yours I am replying to.

It does not need the whole reference, or so one would think, what with it being nested as a reply.

I’m happy to have led you back to your own recounting of this delightful tale

Have a complimentary towel while you stew in the lukewarm waters of tepid bitchery, bro.

Oh, okay. See? It wasn’t so hard. Here’s a biscuit.

I really appreciate this thread! Makes me feel like I’m young again, reading about the latest escapades on WORA.
