    Serves me right for seeing what would happen if I lifted the registration freeze.

    This is not meant as a ding against staff but as a gentle correction.

    The peoples who speak Sahaptin are further East than Seattle. The tribes in that area are generally Salish, such as the Klallam tribes or the Swinomish. It would be more representative of the tribes in the area to have Salish as a language rather than Sahaptin (if that was the goal and not one added b/c someone requested it for a character from Eastern WA that moved to Seattle).

    Sources outside of myself:

    @MisterBoring I could be wrong, but there’s no indication in the forum post that it was continuing after the initial ban.

    @Ashkuri Yeah, agreed.

    I strongly suggest not crowdsourcing this. It’s a good way to get every petty grudge for twenty years crawling out of the woodwork. Consider who you’re uncomfortable with, if anyone, by personal experience or reputation as shown on forums like this (but be careful with that).

    Yeesh. I’m not sure what happened here. A lot of stuff is being thrown my way, not much of it true.

    I think someone else already said, but I’m not Saulot. Apologies to him.

    The only time there’s been an accusation of cheating that was even close to true was on City of Glass. Another player who I knew RL and was close with at the time had my password and logged on my character to a social scene. I got a message from them with a crap ton of apologies and excuses telling me what happened, but the end result was my character and hers were banned from that game. There’s no way to excuse that. I knew she had my password and would sometimes go onto my character, I didn’t change it. At the time I didn’t think it was a big deal and I didn’t think she’d do something like go into a scene with my character, but that’s on me and my poor choices and I never said otherwise.

    On Empire, I have no connection to Sophia’s player and can only guess that Ada is just trying to dump on me since I dumped on her. I mean, I don’t know how to prove I’m not someone else. Same as I’m not Saulot. From what I got from Sophia, she wasn’t enjoying the game much, but we had a got along and I asked her for RP when no one else did. So if I was the only one she RPed with much, I wouldn’t know, but I wouldn’t be surprised. We got on well because I got her involved with stuff - the same way I did with multiple other characters on the game, but that’s about the extent of that. When I got banned, she quit. Not sure how that equates to us being the same person, but that’s a stretch and a half.

    As Hollywood on TR, I was banned because I kept pestering Troy about trying to get other staffers to quit talking crap about my character on staff channels. She told me to stop bothering her and I didn’t. It wasn’t until after I was banned did some accusations about cheating get thrown out after the fact from which I never got a chance to address/defend and only heard about 3rd hand, which I think were about looking at my own jobs as a staffer, to which, if that was a thing, wasn’t more than occasional typos of the many, many, many jobs that I handled there.

    About the rest, I mean… Clearly, I’m not liked. And that is what it is. I’ve been here long enough to know people love to go for blood. I’m not everyone’s cup of tea. My perspectives are different from a lot of people. I’ve ranted about that before, no need to rehash. I can’t change what I said or did 15 years ago, obviously, but try to do better. That doesn’t mean I’m gonna get it right every time. But I do try to not repeat mistakes.

    My characters have had a lot of fun times in a lot of good scenes and rarely were involved in any drama. It was ooc that I had some clashes and that was my fault, obviously, cause I’m the common denominator.

    But if I’ve made any of your game/character experience less fun, I do apologize.

    @Meg & @dvoraen If you both like PEAK, I would also recommend RV There Yet?, which is basically PEAK + chainsmoking + getting an RV to the top of the mountain.

    I have watched a few people play it, but it seemed like the kind of game that would make me rage quit. lol

    It’s the ideal game for therapists to play instead of doing our notes. Lots of clinically inadvisable langage, do recommend.
