Somehow, Kissinger is still alive…

BUT!

BRB making a few alt accounts to upvote all my own posts, since all you cowards refuse to give me enough microdoses of dopamine.

(:Public:) Ax (A) is curious what Kasia/Zephyr did that was bad enough to have not only her, but those people associated with her get their alts destroyed and their primary characters (some of who were on vacation) sent to the Old Guard Lounge and @passworded? Is that the new standard of dealing with people who investigate claims of sexual harassment here? Burn them and their associates? I’m just curious
(:Public:) Cujo says, “Ax, you don’t care about any of those things.”
(:Public:) Cujo says, “If you did, you’d put in a request to talk privately.”
(:Public:) Cujo says, “But you didn’t do that, you posted it publicly because you want to make a huge show of things.”
(:Public:) Cujo sayz, “So now you’re banned from this channel, well done.”

DO NOT SPEAK OUT, OR YOU WILL BE SILENCED, etc etc. Shocker.

The staff just imperiously announced ‘We’re skipping ahead fifteen years so that Rey and Ben Solo can have lots of babies! If you don’t like it, leave!’

Actually, it’s Rey and Poe’s babies on Age of Kora. Poe, played by Sumi’s player.

Still a better match IMHO.

POE IS MARRIED TO FINN, AND NOTHING JJ OR DISNEY SAYS WILL CONVINCE ME OTHERWISE.

Since Derp and Ghost keep bringing it up, I’ll repeat a point I’ve made before:

People are going to keep talking about the community being hijacked, because at the end of the day, before any of this happened, any of YOU who feel the need to talk about bullies being mean - YOU could have made your own board, and made it however you wanted.

Instead, you decided to change the rules of the board we were all on and throw anyone who disagreed out. Which is the root of it all. And you know it. Because you keep bringing up how we went somewhere else and made the rules we wanted.

And it’s pretty fucked up how you keep rewriting history to justify the decision.

Another person banned for person attacks, despite making fewer personal attacks than Ghost. Maybe it was the big words?

Of course, they had to ban @Kestrel. You showed up with receipts about their hypocrisy. 12/10. Would also upvote if I could.

@kalakh said in Bannings:

The new argument that this is merely the result of wanting more moderation and people are just mad that they are being moderated (because they’re super hypocrites and are now getting theirs), sure is a take.

People wanted moderation to fork threads or move them to different boards, and to ban the rapists or that one guy who sprouts up every couple months and tries to set everything on fire. So technically yes, more moderation was wanted.

But it is an extremely bad faith reading that the logical conclusion is ‘ban everyone who dares to speak out’. Pretty against the spirit of the job that was asked to be done, you might say.

@hobos said in Bannings:

I do care that VulgarKitten lied to those people, and I feel for them, particularly one who I personally admire who was really hurt by the lies. More importantly, she is sorry about it.

If she is actually sorry about it, perhaps she should admit that and apologize, and not pretend to be a totally different, literally new person, which fits the profile of the issues in the first place?

VK/Hella

I didn’t know who Hella was. lmaoooooo

Yeah, she literally changed her username and started pretending to be a new person right after the banning- spree, and nobody has called her out on it.

@farfalla Ares logs are system-created and (to my knowledge) can’t be edited. I would probably take a regular log too, but that would mean I was playing on a non-Ares game, and ain’t nobody got time to go technologically backwards.

Yeah, they can’t be edited unless you’re a coder, because they come straight from the database and not a player’s computer.

THAT JUST PROVES THE CODER IS IN ON THE CHEMTRAIL FLOURIDE CONSPIRACY TO MAKE PEOPLE LOOK BAD BECAUSE THEY ARE AN ENEMY OF THE CLIQUE!!!111!!1!ONE!!!111ELEVEN!

“Please, share a hate message, it means a lot to us.”

Riiight.

Bad faith is bad faith, and its starting to look like jumping to the ‘everyone is racist’ conclusion is your default approach to things.

@Wikibara ‘can you believe the shit someone from [game] sent me?’

Possibility 1) ‘They do not play there’ big oopsy doodle apologies all around.
Possibility 2) ‘Holy shit this other person does actually play there, let us purge the bad actor’

… like, tracking the bad actors is half the point of the community.

@Wikibara said in Numetal/Retromux:

no plans to dox anyone involved

Circling back to this, right here, this is the problem. Because you could have just posted a screenshot and people could have immediately seen whether or not the comments came from anyone affiliated with the game.

@Wikibara said in Numetal/Retromux:

to ensure that I include the words, “Troll,” “Kithain,” “Dreaming,” “Fae,” “Noble,” “Glamour,” “Banality,” “Changeling.”

Missed opportunity to use them all in a single sentence.

@Juniper said in Tales of Zalanthas:

Let the skulking commence

I totally read the correct word the first time, definitely didn’t misread it as something else.

Do note my first response was not to stab Larry the Leader in his face. My first response was ‘staff cannot control my emits or rolls’.

So say staff says ‘you cannot depose the Prince’. And then you go out and do lots of social RP and get most other people to support disposing the Prince and you +roll your big social dice and everyone at court is like ‘New Prince New Prince rah rah rah!’ And staff says ‘despite your successes, you were never allowed to try in the first place. So you fail’?

Now is when the stabbing happens. Because social dice are fast and loose, but combat dice are explicitly laid out, and staff had already shown to everyone they do not care about the rules.

It has to be called out to their face in front of everyone. Because suppose there is a game where every sphere has the same staffer PC in a leadership position, and a bunch of people keep quitting the game because they throw their dicks around. Maybe not everyone, but plenty. And even when the reason is given in private, its private and so you can pretend to ignore the obvious connection.

Going big is the only way to maybe open the eyes of people who are willfully ignoring it.

… what do you mean ‘am I talking about somewhere specific’? What would give you that idea?

@Pavel said in Numetal/Retromux:

@Aria Hey. I was perfectly okay for approximately 37 minutes on Thursday, January 15th, 1987, between 00:04 and 00:41.

Weird, I was happy for at least 10 years after that. Maybe it has something to do with where you grew up, what was the name of the street you lived on?
