    I did read that exchange on HAM.

    I call him a misogynistic Randian creep because he’s a misogynistic Randian creep: he has been aggressively misogynistic to multiple friends, he had attacked people over their political views, and is, in general, creepy. If you’re claiming he isn’t a misogynist, or isn’t a Randian, then either you’re lying, you don’t know him well at all, or like Saul on the road to Damascus he has seen the revelation and changed every aspect of his personality because he’s been all of those things at least since I was a kid and he was Wonder Boy.

    But more importantly: What exchange? My complaint about Chaucer’s behavior? Because that’s one of a grand total of four conversations I ever had with Shakespeare.

    You can’t mean when I was Illyana on UH and she was Kitty the day I was banned for outing Ditko and Claremont as predators, so that’s a quarter of our options gone right there.

    Do you mean when she got mad at me for calling somebody an incel after he went on a rant about bitches in the OOC room? That’s one of our “exchanges.”

    Yes, I went there knowing I’d be kicked off. Someone asked me about playing there again. I said, “The only reason I was ever allowed there was Chaucer. They’ll kick me off within twelve hours.” They said, “oh come on.” I said, “Bet,” noticed Raven - who was very close with Chaucer - was over a month idle, requested the character as a guest, got it, and then went to sleep.

    I woke up to a page about how my parting from HAM the last time I was there seemed mutual, and that it was best to keep it that way. Was it that “exchange?” Because that’s when I was “banned.”

    Was it the time I went there after Chaucer had stormed off, to say “I told you so?” Admittedly petty, but I can’t imagine there was a staff job about that one.

    Let’s have some clarity about which “exchange” you’re talking about.

    It’s always great fun when you pivot wildly Vorpal-wards. Wasn’t it you who once dubbed him “Furry Satan made MU*nifest”?

    No, I called him a misogynistic Randian creep because he attacked multiple friends of mine (including one for having the temerity to complain about her insurance after breaking her leg, thus failing to appreciate the sublime perfection of the free market) and lied about a bunch of shit on UH to protect its rep when he was staff there, like when he said the person who went on a protracted homophobic rant wasn’t staff. (He was, of course. And wasn’t he later banned from HAM for going on a protracted racist rant?) ETA: Oh, and of course the time he tried to Power Word me over DMs on MSB, used the wrong name, and then tried to claim autocorrect changed Illyana to “Amanda” when my immediate response was to post a screenshot of him doing so.

    My departure from HAM was me leaving because they didn’t do anything about Chaucer’s behavior, then a year later going back to dislodge Raven for like ten hours because I knew they’d kick me off. Like, I literally posted all of it as it happened. Here. (Okay, and going back when Chaucer stormed off to say, “I told you so.”)

    You’re welcome to spread any of the lies you’d care to. Bored’d already tried to trot out some of the preferred ones, like all the shit I apparently did on characters I wasn’t playing when they happened, or just on games I wasn’t even on.

    For a problem player of such historic proportions, I’ve always found it amusing that I’ve literally never had or caused any problems except on UH and its metastases.

    To be entirely accurate one of the policy disagreements was that some of us felt that HAM was too slow to react to and too willing to overlook “borderline” problematic behaviour from players

    Even ignoring everything else - and to be clear, everything else is also bullshit, everybody involved knew UH was run by sex pests and racists and didn’t care until Ruby went from being Claremont’s most virulent mouthpiece to falling out with him, the HAM split was a huge shitfit where Chaucer tried to take over and failed, this is the second or third or fourth game Chaucer has tried to make - making this claim while Vorpal is there is outright comedic.

    This is a guy whose entire modern history is being an aggressively misogynistic piece of shit to anyone who disagrees with him and then getting away with it because he’s friends with Chaucer.

    And I’ll attest from personal experience that Chaucer plays favorites. He played favorites with me, until I talked back to him. The second I lost his patronage I was persona non grata at HAM. Before that, he’d go over Shakespeare’s head to approve characters I made that she spent days arguing should never be allowed on the grid.

    Good lord, I haven’t heard HAM in a while. But yeah everything stated is true.

    @Colette How about “actively promotes cliquish and exclusionary behavior, like focusing on his one preferred group of players, who get RP while everyone else gets ignored.”

    Maybe one day we’ll have a superhero game not run by abusers

    Superheroesmush.com is run by the group of us that split away from HAM’s staff. That’s not going to be a place anyone who thinks they get special favors by staffing is going to do well in.

    Apparently this is one that is run by Chaucer? I don’t remember exactly what his deal was but he was known bad actor? Maybe?

    SuperMUD. It’s a DIKU-codebase MUD with a heavy focus on storytelling. (I know a lot of people on these boards tend to be sort of anti-MUD and more pro-MUSH, but the core community waiting on it tend towards paragraph RP.) They have a Discord as well, I’m not personally in it, but if people are interested I can nudge a friend who can invite. They currently have a test server up that people can poke around on, and I believe are planning to launch some alpha RP events within a few months or so.

  • RE: When is the last time you played?

    @RightMeow said in When is the last time you played?:

    I was on a previous game that’s practically dead if not dead, so no I won’t name and shame. However, the staff there would hold RP lectures on what my char should do. They didn’t hurt anyone. The people involved were having a good time. Every decision I made felt like if it didn’t benefit the person in charge or completely follow their vision, I got IC lectures. It’s not fun. Or I’d be told OOC how I wasn’t great. Also not fun. I happen to think I’m amazing and awesome and all those things (cough cough). Sometimes the world and the game created gets so consumed on the main trunk of the story, they don’t allow branches to form. That’s some of the best RP.

    I played on an x-men revolution game that did this a lot with the performance critiques. It almost made me leave the hobby entirely.
