Star Wars Age of Alliances: Hadrix and Cujo
-
I can only nag the Evennia coders for fancy code so loudly, it doesn’t make them BEND TO MY WILL any faster.

-
@Das-Auto He has fired the horse catcher.
-
@Das-Auto Did this staff leaving just happen? I hopped on in curiosity to look at the bboards and didn’t see anything in the last few days worth.
That said - I did find a gem of a post where multiple people were like - why is this 15 year time jump even happen? What’s the point of this? This is dumb. And people complaining how much the time skip would age their characters on another.

Update.
Cujo has just fired the only staffer on the game that put any effort into combating sexual harassment.
I suddenly feel very naive for giving eddie so much time and word space that ended up burying your announcement at the bottom of a huge thread made mostly of vitriol.

It looks like two other promoted-RPAs have also been canned, reasons unknown.
This is true.

You didn’t see a bbpost about it because Cujo did not make a post about it. There is no notification to the game overall. Perhaps one will follow.
The main staff member “Z” who was removed (and who was outspoken about all this behavior being inappropriate) was staff for 5 RL years at least, maybe more.
It is not clear why the other two (people promoted to staff at the same time as Hadrix) were removed, the ‘official’ explanation is probably that they did not contribute enough and the ‘real’ explanation is probably that they are friends with Z.
It’s a bad look, for sure.

They can remove as many people as they like, but it isn’t going to change the fact that the players which log in regularly are already aware of the toxic attitude towards the player base. It extends into the public forum frequently and has gotten substantially worse over the past year and a half.
There are sex pests that have been playing there for years. From my perspective, the majority of them have not been removed. Of those that have, it’s difficult to tell if they left on their own volition or were forced out by administrative action. I would like to say that I am surprised it took this long for a post to have this much public scrutiny, but coping with assault is difficult on its own. It’s even harder to put your story into the prying eyes of the peanut gallery.
The removal of Zephyr only continues to add to the mountain of evidence against the game’s leadership. Only one conclusion should be made:
If you play on Age of Alliances, you will not have a voice.
If administrators can be removed, you can be removed. If you are removed, you should expect to be mocked by your abusers on the game’s public channels. There is no justice.
-
@TooManyCharacter Do you know who the staffers were that were fired? +staff on the game still shows the same people as a couple days ago; no names seem to be missing.
Unless that’s just one more thing that will be hidden from the playerbase, of course…
-
@Warlander Long term admin removed: Zephyr
“Role play admin” that were made staff at the same time as RPA Hadrix, but now removed: Trashcan and Entropy
-
Total aside but mad respect for anyone that chooses the nick “Trashcan”.
-
-
@kopecup Many thanks. Can’t remember ever dealing with Zephyr or Trashcan, but the name Entropy sounds familiar. Unsure if that’s a good or a bad thing. I’m sure their absence will be felt among players who aren’t staff alts or staffer’s pets.
-
So Cujo fires a bunch of staff for what I assume is pushing him to do something about Hadrix and/or the crime of saying “hey you know those posters have a point”, proving beyond a shadow of a doubt that the original post was accurate.
This is a great object lesson for those who are always demanding logs/proof. The truth will come out without them.
-
When in doubt, double down on shitty behavior because confronting your own problems is far too difficult. Nah, it’s just easier to let the sex pests run amok.
-
I hate to say it when I’m not 100% sure but I think it was Zephyr I wound up playing with primarily while I was there and they were awesome, definitely a huge positive force on the game if so. If they are who I am remembering, that is genuinely shameful.
-
not to shitpost but can we get that talking fedora back in here, I want to hear the latest hot take on how this is reasonable.
I wish you would.
-
@Wizz Whoever was looking to build their own Star Wars game may want to get in touch with Zephyr and the other booted admins. Sounds like Cujo just vetted some potential staff for you.

This is a great idea. @Jennkryst, you should consider reaching out. If nothing else, they have experience admining in the genre, and could provide valuable input for setting things up.

I can’t wait to see what comes next, this is one hell of a ride!

Please feed me all your coding knowledge. Or just write the code for me. OR BOTH!
(Everyone is going ‘read this and that, and they will tell you what these different strings of code mean’ while I am way earlier in the process than everyone assumes. Just ‘wait… Linux? I haven’t tried to figure out linux since (in the biggest twist of irony) AoA died the first time, over a decade ago’.)
