  • RE: RL Peeves

    a year after an extremely rough breakup with a narcissist who constantly verbally abused me, gaslit me, and was starting into physical abuse when I pulled the plug and I am still getting massively triggered sometimes when a stray thought about the way she treated me hits. I get so worked up and angry about it and it is so frustrating because it just feels like there will never be any recompense for what she did.

    she lied to our mutual friends about everything, treated my son like shit, stole from me, not only money and things but something I can never replace (an album of pictures I took and developed in high school, with all the negatives). while I lost everything after giving so much to her and that relationship, she went on to marry one of our friends within the year and just moved on into his life like nothing happened.

    I get that that won’t last, someone that destructive and selfish eventually will burn those bridges and have to move on to the next mark, and the people who I thought were my friends who rejected me will eventually realize who and what she is. but that doesn’t make it feel any better, it really just hurts worse, because her damage will continue to be done and what I’ve lost I can’t get back.

    I’m in therapy and trying to work through it, but it just fuckin sucks.

    @Muscle-Car Why do you think I’m always so eager to fork threads?

    @spiriferida For L&L, really play up the politics, intrigue, animosity between rival families, and management aspects to the level that no one has time to knock boots on screen.

    Demand characters have so many administrative skills, they become virtually unfuckable.

    Joke’s on you, I’m into that shit

    Yeah - I didn’t want to go on the “good vs. bad policy” side quest,

    stop a debate about a game policy?

    here?

    @Kestrel said in MU Peeves Thread:

    I think it’s a good rule. It prevents a couple things simultaneously:

    1. Newbies being hounded out the gate for TS
    2. The game turning into a “sex game” because people join just for that and ignore everything else. A 2 week pause means you need to focus some on story first.

    it’s not going to prevent either of those things, and people having shippy RP early isn’t what turns a game into a sex game.

    plus now if someone even just mixes up dates and the other person gets super toxic on them, there is leverage hanging over them to not report bad behavior to staff.

    That said, maybe I’m just prude, but I can’t help but victim blame Pat’s e-bedmates a little. Because you couldn’t be deceived about someone being on the game for under two weeks if you yourself were waiting at least two weeks to get to know another player/character before you jump to TS.

    In terms of outrage if not enforcement, the spirit of the rule matters a little more than me than the rule itself. And idk guys. Like how indiscriminate are you being that you manage to get “tricked” by someone running through half the who list in half a month? When are you finding enough time for proper introductory scenes and flirting in between? For this to work, a substantial portion of the playerbase would already have to be treating the game like an orgy.

    yeeeeeeah this all just sounds slut-shamey. you’re literally like “well if you hadn’t been so slutty to jump into TS so fast, you wouldn’t have gotten lied to.”

    this is a weird rule for a game to have

    I suppose it might make sense on a game where new characters explicitly can’t have known each other previously… but I imagine it’s more likely a case of a staffer with more than a few bad experiences crying “enough is enough.”

    it’s super sketch and not okay to lie about anything to get TS

    but simultaneously

    @howyadoin said in MU Peeves Thread:

    There is a prohibition on relationship roleplay with characters that have been in the game for less than two weeks. The rule applies even to returning players playing a new character.

    this is a weird rule for a game to have
