@kopecup I am one of the players mentioned. Kopecup posted about my experience with permission from me. I don’t really engage with the MU-ing community at large but in the interest of keeping this community fun and safe, I feel like I need to. I can confirm it happened. I have receipts if that becomes necessary. I will put my name out if necessary. This behavior is beyond the pale and it needs to be called out and corrected, or at least a fair warning for the community at large.

I would like to see receipts, and I would ask anytime we (as a community) run into this behavior that just becomes the norm. It’ll save anyone the trouble of being doubted or other parties to scheme, etc.

And how are you related to the situation?
Clearly you made the account to comment on this, and not to just muse on ways we (as a community) should handle things.

Listen. They built themselves a community there that really fits the level of self-awareness and spite this whole thing demonstrated.

I, for one, wish them all the best building a more positive and constructive community with the likes of vulgarkitten, ghost, derp and macha.

Bless that mess.

If you run into this player in the wild you might think they can be friendly and inclusive; at worst pushy, aggressive, and a little disingenuous about their character’s position or significance.

She’s actually much worse than that. This is a person who is ready and willing to lie in order to get close to people who want nothing to do with her.

This is a person who is ready and willing to lie about who they are OOC in order to escape consequences of their own actions, and take it to shocking extremes, such as paging people OOC to ask for dirt on the ‘former player’ - herself.

This is a person who is ready and willing to lie about other people OOC in order to avoid those same consequences.

If she is playing your game and you think she’s not ‘that bad’, well. I thought that, too. Like, not great but not bannable. Yet the amount of drama and stress and heartache and vitriol she is responsible for is staggering. Her possible ‘not that bad’ behavior is not worth it.

“I don’t want to cross the line, I just want to get as close as I can get away with, as often as possible.”

@Cobalt it’s only crying over mush drama if it’s from the champagne region of France, otherwise it’s sparkling emotional manipulation.

Braum being an emoji

It only takes one false accusation to be acted on to break down the trust of an entire community in all directions and destroy the environment

So how many instances would you say it takes to ruin community trust when the event is someone being harassed and made to feel unsafe and unwelcome?

Being banned from a game is not being sent to jail.

It would be REALLY COOL if people could just find things to complain about that are not related to consensual sexual rp. Stop slut shaming. It’s 2023, can we please just leave this behind.

@Pyrephox I want to know a LITTLE of the ooc drama. I just don’t want to be involved in it.

Just a little. As a treat.

It’s just braum

@Gashlycrumb said in Bad Stuff Happening IC:

I wouldn’t be surprised to find that most players who respond badly to bad stuff happening to their PCs have had experiences of unfair non-interactive bad stuff being used to shut them out of the game.

And much like unhealed people entering the dating pool before they are ready, it is their responsibility to work that out so it isn’t causing them to lash out at others.

@Roz BIG AGREE

If you as a player are thinking, ‘pfft I never have IC/OOC bleed’, you are most likely lying to yourself. And if you are lying to yourself about it, you are probably having the very bad, no good reactions when it actually happens, because you believe you are different and your emotions are all the result of valid injustice.

@Wizz is it unspoken? Are you sure?

Oh man, I took this as GMs being mean to characters. Are you ok with/do you like to be mean to players as a player is a whole other can of worms. And I do! I do not like the ooc assumptions that most often come with playing something other than 100% friendly

Fuck them up, but don’t embarrass them. I’ll embarrass my character if I feel like it.

I don’t think comparing it to bad/boring writing is the whole story. With practice, if you are trying and writing your own poses, you might actually get better at it. You might evolve into being more interesting to interact with. It might be worth throwing some rp to a new/bad writer, just to give them some practice so they can improve!

LLMs never will. I resent throwing my time and effort into a black hole where I am getting nothing from it, and neither is anyone else.

Yeah, that absolutely reads as LLM slop to me. BOooo

I very strongly disagree these detectors should be discounted. Don’t use the free one google suggests and no other checks, obviously, but the hobby needs to be protected from this slop, at whatever costs. It’s an inherently vulnerable hobby, where everyone is agreeing to submit their actual writing to another person in a scene for reaction. For fun!

It’s not just that LLM writing is hollow, bloated, and uninteresting (though it is), it’s also a breach of that fundamental contract to use it. I have always told people if they aren’t in it to have fun AND make fun for their scene partners, they need a new hobby. If you are using LLMs you are not engaged and you certainly aren’t trying to be fun to rp with.
