    Honestly, I have not spent the intervening time stressing about it or plotting heinous acts of revenge,

    lol oh thank god, what a relief. 😂

    TBH me finding out at all was a total fluke of someone mentioning it in my presence and I was like what?

    And yeah, you’re totally okay using this forum for its purposes. I can completely understand logging onto places and feeling like the other players don’t really notice that I’m there or I’m just existing around the outskirts. I think it happens to pretty much everyone at some point, and it almost always sucks.

    If you see me out in the wild sometime, drop me a page! Maybe we can get a scene in!

    @Pacha said in MU Peeves Thread:

    There is a game I am on where I signed up for an event. At the event, was a particular person.

    This person, for want of a better word, has a bit of a fan club on this game. People talk about this person a lot; they seem to have a lot of close friends, and people respond super enthusiastically when they do things, log on etc. etc.

    I do not begrudge this person any of this, and to be honest, they do not seem to do anything to encourage it. From my point of view they do not do anything to -warrant- it, either. But, I am prepared to accept that is very subjective.

    In this event, which was just a one-shot adventure-type thing with some light combat, I ended up nearly walking out part way through because this person’s fan club was so busy gushing over this person and trying to interact with this person that my character was totally ignored.

    This happened multiple times, where the rest of the group just played as though my character was not there. As an example, my character did X thing on their turn. I checked it with the GM, rolled for it, it was in my pose. Nobody referenced it in their pose, acknowledged it had happened, or anything like that.

    In the next round, this person does a very similar thing (similar enough to the point of being redundant in the circumstances). The rest of the group are falling over themselves to (ic and ooc) tell this person how clever they are, how cool and badass their idea was. Even the GM referenced them doing this thing in their pose, ignoring that my character had already done it.

    It’s not a major thing, but man is it irritating. I wasn’t going to mention it, but the talk of cliquey groups brought it all rushing back! I have been kind of light on the details as I don’t dislike any of these people or want them to feel bad. However, if the purpose of the scene is a self-congratulatory, feel-good session with your in-group, maybe don’t paste it as a public event and invite people you’re not really interested in including.

    I JUST FOUND OUT THIS WAS ABOUT ME.

    Man. At first I thought I just didn’t remember this happening, but I think I just never read this post to realize it was about me. I’m sorry to have been in a position to make someone feel ignored, I’m also baffled at the idea that I don’t warrant people being excited to see me, lol. Not even in an offended way just an oh man, I had no idea someone was sitting there feeling this way. Like, I assume I’m just a blip on other people’s radar!

    Anyway, I hope the OP is feeling better these days.

    @Artemis Just DM an email to me and I will make an account w an invite link that goes to that email. It could be your email. Your cousins email. A temp email. I don’t care. You do need to be able to access it for the invite link and password resets.

    We had a run of bad actors so account creation is limited atm.

    @Artemis If they want an account, I just need an email. If they don’t, they are wise beyond measure.

    @Ominous I recommend you log on and ask if you have questions about the game, since the creator can’t register for an account here and I myself am not staff.

    @somasatori You know, that’s fair. The tone of the question wasn’t great though, and that’s what I think I’m responding to.

    That’s fair as well! For me, the comparison statement was a bit of a kneejerk on account of people using it disingenuously about certain real life things that I won’t mention.

    On my part, I’m particularly interested in House Heshbeh, but there is a kind of proper noun overuse here. I think I probably just need to read the lore files more thoroughly, tbf. Especially since I always complain about people not reading the lore files on games. Be the change and all.

    I find the setting and conflict of empire a bit nebulous and hard to grasp myself but I don’t need to be shitty about a new game and a widely played older game to say so. My friends seem to be grabbing it fine!
