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

    No, that’s not the behavior being described. It was using secret alts to give stuff to/generally benefit their main alt.

    Yeah, but continuing to attempt that is just pestering Ada, right?

    @Warma-Sheen so is this just how you go about joining games? Getting caught twice on real low-effort stuff is a lot of times to get caught doing this.

    Talk to us. Why are you like this? Do you think you won’t be able to fit in on a game unless you have some perceived resource advantage? What’s going ON, buddy

    Yikes, secret hidden alts to keep pestering people that don’t want to be pestered by the player anymore. Bad look for sure.

    Title: Kamzu’s undeclared alt, Sophia, rostered
    Posted by: Ada
    Date: 2025-11-29 22:51

    I am confident, based on server logs and observed behaviour, that Sophia was also being played by Kamzu’s player. I had initially assumed that she was played by Kamzu’s player’s friend, and I am obviously okay about people playing games with friends, but the balance of probabilities from what information is available to me is that they are the same person.

    Sophia’s in-character actions are retconned in their entirety. However, since she never told anybody about her sweeping, far-reaching, and utterly transformative plans, including any of the three active Kournis characters, I doubt anybody will notice this retcon.

    For those curious about her behaviour, she was invited to each of Kamzu’s actions. She asked questions on those actions as if in Kamzu-voice, for example, exactly how much the numbers on Phavah’s domain could be improved. She was going to cede the entirety of Kournis’ resources to Phavah, supposedly as a “loan”. She was going to spend her actions making administration rolls in Phavah lands. When I checked in with her – as I have with a number of people to see how they are doing – she told me that there was nothing to do, and that the only player who engaged with her was Kamzu.

    They never interacted in the game.

    yeah this is literally what he got banned from city of glass for

    If I didn’t know who this person was, I might have banned them based on that convo, too. If someone asks you “what request are you referring to?” and you hit them with 16 bars about how they are just ignoring you and they deleted a bunch of things because they are in their feelings, that’s - not necessary. Like they could have already been discussing how to actually move the request forward if they didn’t need to swerve into ‘i’m frustrated and i need you to redress my feelings’. If you had just said '18 and 27" or even tacked on a “ok, what do I need to get movement on this if not logs?” (which is a valid question) .

    And who wouldn’t look askance at a request for a character to hand over all their org’s resources to another character? That’s sus as fuck

  • RE: Tough Calls

    @Yam bans are cancel culture and i like to think i have healed and evolved beyond such p e t t i n e s s

    PS the calls I remember struggling with the most were

    1. a complaint about an interpersonal player relationship where one party was going against the rules/spirit of the rules of the game, but it all occurred in private off game conversations and there was a lot of ‘evidence’ to look at

    2. it was custodius, and he was honestly not doing anything i would ban another player for, but he wasn’t doing GREAT and we were just using a lot of staff time and energy like, watching him, corralling, investigating, etc.

    But also, man, lots of them are hard. A lot of times you are looking at situations where neither side is being very cash money, and you’re trying to sort out which party is in the wrong this time and if there was some provoking incident that slipped by you and just aaaaaah. This is how I got burned out beyond belief. Telling a racist or a creep or a weird liar to buzz off is easy. I find that’s maybe 30% of player management

  • RE: Tough Calls

    @Tez can confirm you have had to tell my dumb ass to knock shit off and I never thought of it as a warning. Just oh god I’ve embarrassed my friend by behaving badly on her game in a perceivable way.
