@Chiron I wouldn’t even begin to know how to pronounce that one.

@Gashlycrumb The worst part of some of the more… famous problem players, especially those with whom I have been the most acquainted, is just how vital they make themselves to be. They provide story like nobody’s business, take over all those little jobs that nobody wants to do but need to get done. It’s like waking up one day to find out the janitor is actually Stalin.

(that, basically, being how Stalin took power)

The alt text for this image is fantastic.

I, uhhh, I think someone missed some important details here.

I think I’m safe though, because WoD isn’t something I play in.

I think the propensity for reporting this sort of thing from WoD games is mostly selection bias. The predecessors of this kind of board were heavily slanted towards WoD players, so we heard from WoD players about WoD players. I’d wager that this kind of behaviour would be just as prevalent on Star Wars MUDs or furry MUCKs or whatever else, we just don’t hear about it as much because we’re not focused on them.

absolutely the case, this shit is rampant on comic games it just never gets posted here because there are like three of them left and they’re all the same people and you’ll be banished to the steppes and subject to an endless whisper campaign if you, say, outed one of their friends as a serial sex pest eight years ago
