@Tez I don’t blame her for posting there. I do blame her for bringing up the fact that Cobalt posted here like it makes Cobalt a bad person and her a victim, because she ReFuSeS to make an account here.

Like, ok so? I refuse to make a Twitter but if someone posts there about me, I can still go defend myself if I wanted.

Tez

@Meg Yep, fair enough. That is pretty silly.

Gasboy

@Meg Oh, she wouldn’t even know, she doesn’t read here. xD

I’ll say that I don’t know Cobalt well at all. I know she’s been kicking around the community a good while. In my limited experiences with her I found her to be pleasant, enthusiastic, and open to different ideas and willing to talk things through. She’s been very tolerant and I get the feeling it takes a lot to piss her off. If she decided that someone was disinvited to her game, I very much trust it’s for a good reason.

I agree that it feels like an attack on Cobalt the way it’s phrased. Cobalt has every right to play, be a part of the community, and enjoy her own damn game. Sometimes that means people are incompatible with that game.

@Tez So I was going to post the MSB post over here so those that don’t have the ability see can see what she posted.

Anyone has the ability to see the posts, they’re not locked to having an account.

Gasboy

@Roz True, but if the text is posted here, you don’t have to give your info to Google to read it. Small complaint for some, not so small for others.

This post is deleted!

Tez

@Gasboy She changed the permissions. You don’t have to do that now.

Gasboy

@Tez What I mean is, people may not wish to provide Google with information that Google can sell to advertisers. You may not have to log in, but Google is able to track you.

It’s ok, the other log is not really an illuminating read in any way. Just shows that the other player involved was ICly open to a sexual relationship, just with whatever boundaries.

At least, I assume that’s what it was meant to show. IDK, people like to play unhinged or unhealthy relationships and that’s fine, but it does tend to magnify unhealthy ooc issues. Which it seems were kind of miring down the game in question anyway. Which Cobalt already lamented!

Tez

@Gasboy I am really not personally comfortable with resposting the logs from another forum in that fashion when they are already available.

Yes, can we please not do that?

KarmaBum

@Tez Thank you.

Tez

I forked the Ruiz stuff here so it doesn’t get buried.

This is such a weird take. If people feel that way, they can just look at things in an incognito window without cookies enabled or wtfe.

We don’t need to repost the whole internet to let people avoid the Google overlords.

Gasboy

@Roz Yeah, I get that.

The only thing that annoys me about the MSB post about The Pack/Cobalt is the fact they are acting like Cobalt isn’t allowed to feel something is sexual harassment because ‘they don’t feel it is.’ They can totally disagree but her feeling what happened is should not be scorned like they are doing. It is her game, her feelings. She can absolutely ban someone for something she feels is out of her bounds of acceptable. Otherwise, more power to them for doing what they want. They have their place of outlet that is their safe place.

KarmaBum

@icanbeyourmuse remember who you’re talking about, though. Macha lies and twists things.

She’s at the top of her post talking about “a good dozen” people telling her all about how awful we’re being, then insisting she has no friends (minions) involved in this.

This is a person who has long-since abdicated accepting any responsibility for her actions. She is never the problem.

Cobalt is just the latest person she’s blaming for her own gross behavior.

That Ghost, Devrex, Derp and the remaining members of the Vocal Majority (lo fucking l) are propping her up? Is the only thing they can do short of admitting they backed the wrong horse.

hellfrog

@KarmaBum hmm ok but friendship IS bad
we have established this

IDK, she’s winning me over to her side with the logic!

KarmaBum

@hellfrog well of course she is!!! didn’t you never even get banned?!

you’ve been the sleeper minion all along, admit it
