    • RE: Star Wars Age of Alliances: Hadrix and Cujo

      @Warma-Sheen said in Star Wars Age of Alliances: Hadrix and Cujo:

      How much worse would it be to have to experience harassment and also be swiftly booted from the game because the harasser false reported you first and was believed without question so that you got banned and couldn’t report him? No thanks.

      oh my god, what a horrible hypothetical situation to imagine, surely it must happen all the time since we hear about it so often

      Like. Dude. Even in just the ten years I’ve been on the various incarnations of this board, I could only count on one fucking hand the number of times we saw someone report a false report that wasn’t almost immediately dismissed with ridiculous ease because it was just the dumbass abuser themselves trying to cover their tracks.

      This is such a non-problem versus the enormous issue of harassment in the community that it makes me actually angry people push so hard like this to make reporting and being believed so difficult. This is not a court of law and collecting this irrefutable body of evidence y’all always seem to want is literally the last thing on the mind of someone being stalked, abused, harassed, etc. It’s an enormously stressful and honestly embarrassing experience that can leave you too scattered, not to mention staffers like Cujo and the flying monkeys the abusers surround themselves with magically always seem to decide that it’s never enough anyway.

    • RE: Real Life Struggles/Support/Vent

      My son’s teacher reached out to me on a conference call with his principal today very concerned. There were some legitimate reasons, but one of their items of evidence of inappropriate behavior was a “drawing of Satan.”

      His class was tasked with drawing Nutcrackers after seeing the play, and…

      This is the picture, loooooooool.

      Never change, Utah. I am honestly annoyed that they escalated this in particular BUT ALSO I have been cackling like a swamp witch for a good fifteen minutes since she sent it to me. I needed that laugh so bad.

    • RE: Confessions

      When I was a teenager playing a Final Fantasy game, instead of simply OOC fading to black during romantic scenes where sex was heavily implied, I would write these elaborate little…intermission paragraphs (???) where a “chibi” version of my character would drag a protective curtain/screen/etc across the fourth wall, and then take a little smoke break or whatever before pushing it back off stage for the post-coital pillow talk. Every time.

      I HAVE NO IDEA WHY I DID THIS, I AM SO SORRY

      @kalakh said in Bannings:

      derp, this thread’s anger summed up in two words:

      we are not a community.

      We were.

      Not to dismiss that anger at all, but just to speak for myself, I always considered complete and utter dipshits like Derp and Ghost to be the narcissistic and annoying outliers in an otherwise pretty decent and engaging group of people that they just happened to desperately seek to belong to. To be frank everyone who kept me coming back to the boards for five years or whatever are more or less here now.

      Y’all didn’t lose the community, you lost a website and a few bad apples. Personally that’s just one big ¯_(ツ)_/¯ to me, even if it was one of the shittier ways it could have happened.

      I am bummed Gany made the decisions she made, that’s certainly disappointing from someone I have had a lot of respect for, but hopefully she sees the light someday. As for the other pigs wallowing in the mud back there…I mean, nothing of value was lost imho and I always figured they were bound to drop off under the weight of their own toxicity eventually.

      Hope you all can find some healing in getting away from all that.

      The “oh I gotta do some MANLY LIFTING from my TRUCK for my WIFE” is really what makes it for me. It wasn’t enough to lie, it had to be some macho shit too.

      @KarmaBum

      Seriously, though. I don’t think I have seen a more fucking weaselly response in…ever?

      @RedShoes said in Star Wars Age of Alliances: Hadrix and Cujo:

      All sexual harassment claims are taken seriously though, and if deemed valid, and actively a serious burden, then expect that player to get banned.

      Oh, it’s not enough that it is “valid,” a claim also has the mountain to climb of proving that is actively a serious burden.

      I just…what. Actively a “serious” burden. So, what, people who aren’t harassing…enough(???) just skate on by, according to that standard.

      It can’t be said often enough, fuck that dude.

      I was actually very proud of him, he didn’t scratch me or anything but he was louder than I have ever heard him be, his meows are usually very subdued 😂

    • RE: Arx

      @kalakh ahhhh okay, that’s fun.

      I enjoyed how hassle-free it was to create a temporary room in Arx 1 and describe it as being pretty much anywhere, but there is actually something special about having a dedicated grid space. I really do miss describing and furnishing my characters’ rooms. 🥹

    • RE: Arx

      I thought these were “starting areas” your characters could be from to give them traits and backgrounds in CG, rather than actual separate grid spaces, and the setting was still the city of Arx?

      @Pavel said:

      a character who, due to experiences in the game, has earned the ability to be a little blase or otherwise confident around weird shit.

      this is, to be fair, not really the peeve. I don’t mind a confident, competent character who can reassure others because they’re an experienced demon hunter or whatever, but there is a line (not always super clear but definitely there) between that and just no-selling everything. like has been mentioned, it’s very much about their reaction to other characters’ reactions too.

      blasé and dismissive has just never been fun to play off of in my experience. probably doesn’t help that the kind of player who picks that combo is also usually kind of a dick OOC on top of it.

      Like when characters act extremely blasé about the setting no matter how horrific/creepy/suspenseful…nothing affects them ever. They’ve “seen it all”!

      literally the only good version of this character is one whose player is aware of just how dumb and boring it is to play it straight and so constantly subverts it. but it seems like maybe only three people tops ever got the memo.

      the most frustrating thing about it to me is that it’s essentially just an extremely selfish way to play. it’s all about fulfilling some sad power fantasy, rather than having fun with other people.

      I actually would prefer folks who played the first one to not have any special cookies at all.

      yeah, this is def what I meant specifically by “weird dynamic.” doesn’t even matter if it’s true or not, there would probably be a perception that old players are being favored in ways newer players couldn’t have access to, which breeds resentment and bad feels all around. like, I get that you’re not going to avoid that being a thing anyway to whatever degree no matter what you do, but imho it’s better to head the visible stuff off at the pass.

      I don’t mind amnesiac characters or stories about them, but I do personally agree that allowing people to play their old characters would probably create a bit of a weird dynamic on the game that would be pretty hard to avoid.
