The “most reputation” is largely going to favor admin (because more people acknowledge their posts) and mid-to-long term active posters who engage with discussions in an active community. If someone stops posting or posts less they’ll slide naturally, but only if there’s enough activity on the board to bump other people’s total number of “likes” up. So ironicly with the activity slowed now that many active posters/active like-ers are banned/gone/not posting as much that list is going to take longer than usual to shift. Which i can see the humor in too.

I would say don’t give a hurtful thing attention but that would be stupid and hypocritical. I know that I can’t expect people who have pretty much always behaved in a certain way to not do it. It’s an unreasonable hope. Sometimes it is also somewhat humorous but only in the sense of laughing rather than giving in to despair.

But I am not sure engaging with people who enjoy refusing to see or acknowledge or alternatively just cannot is worth the hurt. I guess I will grow up at some point.

My only regret is not getting on the first page of Most Reputation. Forever stuck on the second page.

@mietze Nuh uh! I’m on the top poster list because I really am a top poster. My mummy said so.

[Testament]

@Snackness The only is rule is you need to have the pony tag.

[mietze]

@Pavel you’ll always be in the top poster list in my heart.

[Pavel]

@mietze I take back every bad thing I said about you, with exception for the times it was true.

This is how I best understand the clique membership, but I could be wrong:

i am definitely going to say you have people in my core that i don’t talk to/know, and people in the allies that i would consider core.

but i also just refer to them as my friends.

YES but see none of that matters in terms of defining who is in The Clique.

I only put myself in the allies because I don’t have friends.

I got bad news for you. Anyone can add the pony tag by going to https://brandmuday.mythicus.net/groups/pony and joining it, and then changing their tag on their user profile.

IT IS NOT A VERY DISCRIMINATING CLIQUE.

@Pavel You forgot my husbandwifeperson

[Meg]

@Tez hello, i now also have a pony.

[Pavel]

@Snackness NO PLUS ONES. THIS IS AN EXCLUSIVE CLIQUE.

In that we’re in a clique for the excluded.

That is hilarious to me. Other than @farfalla, none of those people were even on my DM list anywhere before all this shit went down. Like, I could not have told you who @Meg was vs @Roz vs @hellfrog, except somebody played a basketball coach on SL and someone got on my goddamn nerves there once because they didn’t like the way @bear_necessities and I handled a thing with a goblin we kidnapped which was fucking hilarious and you guys have no sense of humor but I’m not sure they were the same person so yeah, clearly we were besties in the 3 interactions we’ve ever had outside of these forums.

That’s because @tsar is a former admin and they are CIRCLING THE WAGONS OMG IT BEGINS

[farfalla]

@KarmaBum It is very funny! There’s people on here I don’t even like, and half of my actual friends aren’t on here at all. I suspect I wouldn’t have made the cut prior to being banned.

lol. lmao.

• IoleRae and I had emphatic, public disagreements on MSB. We had gotten past them, and I think have had a mostly friendly relationship! But we weren’t even friends on Discord until the MSB meltdown.
• Aria and I have had VERY EMPHATIC DISAGREEMENTS and us not getting along was literally a running joke on MSB for the moments we disagreed about stuff. We have never had off-game contact info for each other.
• Kestrel and I have not even played together, to my knowledge? We don’t have off-game contact info for each other, don’t speak OOC apart from public forum interactions on occasion.
• KarmaBum same as Kestrel. Maybe we had a scene or two on SL before they dipped? No OOC contact other than in passing, no contact info.
• GF once again, I’m unaware of us ever playing on a game together, no OOC contact.

Clique allies I am not even friends with on Discord but have at least RPed with: Pavel (I think?), junipersky, Tori, Selira, and Blu

Clique allies I have not so much as played with ever to my knowledge: Jumpscare (although I enjoy seeing her updates on the work about her game! but i do not know her at all)

But also I think you’re probably missing Sao who definitely gets pegged as Clique. I actually think Tez didn’t get pegged at all because she was generally super quiet on MSB, but she exposed herself with the creation of BMD.

[junipersky]

@Snackness

This was my thought too!!

[Pavel]

So what you’re telling me is that there isn’t actually a clique?

So… so I’m not anyone’s grumpy, yet steadfast ally?

So I just made the whole thing up because it’s three am and I’m bored?

[IoleRae]

@Pavel

There ARE cliques. Like, five of them.

[KarmaBum]

@Pavel You’re supposed to insist we take this to DM now. Please stick to the script.

[Testament]

@Tez Look, it’s the thought that counts.
