      To me, worrying and following what she does on her ‘safe place’ is just validating her and helping her ‘prove she is right that everyone here us horrible and Cobalt is awful’. It sucks to have someone constantly bad mouthing you, I do mean for her too even if it is starting to sound deserved by her behavior, but going there seems like feeding into her stories by ‘proving her right’ and continuing her desire to cause drama.

      Her behavior there and insisting on continuously setting out to slander people, even when it seems to have been dropped by the people she talks too, she considers her ‘enemies’ makes me think she deserves this warning post about her. I was willing to give the benefit of doubt since as far as I know, I have not interacted with her to any real level if at all. People get upset when something they like is taken from them, i was willing to think that was what was happening (I know that was a rose colored glasses view). My desire to give a benefit of doubt has faded.

      I just don’t think going to msb and bringing the drama there to here is just setting the separation of here and there. I 100% think everyone has the right to be upset and angry about what she’s doing. In case it was thought that people shouldn’t was what I am saying.

        @CuriousGamer why are you involving me in this?

        ETA: if i cared to comment on any thread on MSB, then I would. I do not know why she would want to quote me about anything regarding defending herself, as to my knowledge i’ve never RPed with her (or if I did it was unknowing or such a long time ago and unremarkable as to not really stay in my memory, so it was neither a bad experience or an ecstatic one).

        So if she hates me or something, I really have no clue why, unless it’s just a flailing thing, in which case it’s certainly not personal, because I’ve never done anything to harm this person. And I can’t imagine that she could possibly say anything that would hurt me more than other whisper campaigns have in the past (and I have a pretty good track record of being vindicated with those nearly every time someone has tried it). The folks on MSB that would be eager to agree that I’m a terrible person already think that and she in no way could possibly influence that.

        As Roz said. It is NOT a kindness to tell someone “hey, people are talking about you!” in a situation like this. I assume there are plenty of people out there who can say all sorts of mean things about me, and probably do. If I had to constantly be vigilant about that kind of shit then I would have even less energy for RP than I do now. I play several places, for the most part very happily, with people who are happy to RP with me, and I’d like to keep it that way.

        The MSB split is very painful for me personally and it’s always going to be that way. That’s not your fault, but please be considerate and don’t tag me in like this for this kind of cross board stuff in the future.

          @mietze Sorry, it just rubbed me the wrong way that she was trying to use other people’s words to… I don’t know what. Won’t do it again.

            @Tez There seems to be a few bad actor threads now, would it make sense to put them into their own ‘Bad Actor’ kind of topic at this point? I know there’s been a couple discussions of others in the not too distant past as well.

              For the record, just as a player, I would love to have less focus on what’s going on over there. If I wanted to read what was happening on MSB, I’d go to MSB. The cross-forum drama doesn’t necessarily need to be escalated by breathless reporting back to here.

              At a certain point, it starts to feel like people are trying to stir things up and keep drama happening.

                No. We don’t need a whole section of the forum devoted to talking shit about specific people.

                    @Wizz It made me giggle too, but I would rather leave them over there so that people who DON’T wanna be reminded can live a better life.

                        I am always pleased to see the Sea Lion again. It means it’ll be easier to find when I need to reference it. For MU-related reasons.

                        I want something else to get me through this
                        Semi-charmed kinda life, baby, baby
                        I want something else, I'm not listening when you say good-bye

                          This reminded me I made one specific to Ghost at one point.

                            All I have to say about Macha and Ruiz is what I often say while rubber-necking the Am I the Asshole? sub on Reddit. The verdict of Everyone Sucks Here (ESH) exists and is under-used.

                              All the goings on, along with Ghost posting shit like ‘WE ARE FINALLY ALIVE AGAIN’, just proves that the only reason MSB hasn’t died yet is because we keep them on life support. They’ve gone multiple weeks (one stretch was like 18 days’ with no posts over there.

                              Best to just let it spool down to die.

                              (but also it’s funny that Gany is like ‘why do you not like me?’ when like… MA’AM. You’re the reason it died. You killed it, and tried to throw people under the bus to absolve yourself of the responsibility)

                              I would call them out to their faces, but have been banned, sucks for them, I am a goddamned delight.

                                Banned or not, listen to your better angel on this one. It’s Derp & Macha & Ghost.

                                WTF can they possibly have to say that’s worth responding to at this point?

                                  KB is right. There is nothing to be gained. There is no understanding to reach. There is no communication to be had. The other night I was so profoundly disappointed in what has become of a good place that I was honestly pretty bummed out.

                                  It is what it is. They are what they are. Let them be. And leave them there.

                                    That particular section of the forum had not had any posts since October. I’m not shocked that the first thread in six months was someone complaining about being banned, followed immediately by a bunch of wild speculation about a game runner only banning someone because they were TS jealous or some shit (damn, never heard that one before, very original) by the forum admin, and then a bunch of weaseling about how doing that isn’t actually breaking the policies they themselves set out.

                                    Not shocked, but a little disappointing all the same. Couldn’t even make it past the first real hurdle. Didn’t even try.

                                    In any case,

                                      Don’t forget the part that Gany then stepped down out of admin after she killed it, leaving Derp & friends to turn it into the complete shitshow it is today

                                          I actually had no idea she had stepped down. I mean, I guess that made sense after all that happened.
