Fair enough. This was my ENTIRE notes file for Sophia: It’s spammy AF:
Wait…
"I come from a WoD background as a player and storyteller. "
“I am an RL SA survivor.”
Wanting every dick in the room.
Throwing hissifits when things don’t go exactly how she wants them.
… Dear god, I think I know who this is.
If she ran a WoD MU* back in the late 90s/early 2000s where she had a PC in every Sphere who wasn’t officially the leader, but was fucking/involved with/de facto the leader, then it’s certain.
Wow. Now that is a blast from the past.
I can ask if the guy who taught Sophia runes still has it. If so… I’ll see if he’ll re-send it my way, should you actually still care after all of the above.
I find myself morbidly curious, yes.

Was nudged by the head staffer to make a character, was busy at the time, and said that. Was nudged again and again. Eventually carved out some time to put together a character, but didn’t do the application correctly as I don’t really understand the theme.
Said that and that I needed help to understand it. Wasn’t really given any explicit direction, then told exactly what I needed to do. Adjusted my sheet according to the rules at the time, resubmitted then the rules changed again so I would have to change the concept again. Was told my choices were all wrong and weird, but did I still want to make a character? Said I didn’t really get the theme and didn’t have time to, but good luck with the game. Looks popular.
Replies were much shorter now, with one-word answers. Woke up in the morning to find the password changed and my mostly-done character was now a roster character, mostly edited to suit what they wanted.
None of this is a surprise.

the app looks a lot better
i paged you some changes i’d like to see this time.
also, the difference between years 1-3 isn’t the stats. it’s knowledge of spells. which is reflected in the sample grimoire on the wiki.

Ahhh thanks!
I honestly don’t think I know enough about the source material to really get all this, or what means what.
—— Today at 20:48
it’s fine
DukeWhisky — Today at 20:48
But good luck with the game! Well done on getting it launched, made and people RPing on it :Clap:

so you’re not finishing the app then?
okay
DukeWhisky — Today at 20:48
I just don’t feel comfortable enough with what I know as a player to be able to answer the questions
Let alone know where to start with the RP
–— Today at 20:51
okay.
it’s all good.

Thanks and good luck! Honestly big congrats on launching. Big step

@STD I’m pretty sure I’ve heard her mention or have been told that she did used to run a WoD game. I only have experience with her on other games, one now closed, and I quikly noped out of playing with her cause her style was abrasive to me.
-
She posted an ad on the other place and with her username there (chibichibi) I knew exactly who she was from some old WoD encounters. I don’t think I’ve experienced her as a game runner prior to this but she did have a thread on the other place for awhile about putting together a MtA game before it fell off.
-
To be fair you just described at least three people I can vaguely recall. Yikes.

I would be super pissed if a PC I made (even if I didn’t finish it!) was made a roster without my consent or approval. That’s so rude.
-
@DrQuinn I… have not seen this before.
In one sense, he was pretty clear he was dropping. But still, it isn’t the brainspace place of the management. It’s the person. To take that work and outright steal it?
That’s just one of the most disgusting things I’ve ever heard of, and no context can really make this OK. This person should never be running a game. Ever. Anywhere.
-
@DrQuinn Yeah it kind of felt like, violating? I don’t really know how to describe it since I had 0 commitment to the place, so wasn’t like a character I invested any real time into.
But still was my concept, a simple “hey do you mind if I use them to make a roster” would have sufficed to know my opinion on the matter.

This tracks. My limited experience with her is that she steamrolls and gaslights.
From the moment she got approved, she spent every scene trying to bully or beg any male PC to take a (cold!! we don’t even have hot water cuz game with ZOMBIES!!!) shower with her while OOC and IC insisting (against reality) that everyone on the game was already in a relationship.
She’s here to write smut. If you’re not gonna finish CG and TS her, then she will give your PC to someone who will.

On The Reach she played a nun that was like, banging her priest --they were both Hunters-- and it was just…
-
The second she complained about everyone “already having paired up” on the chat channel (like a week after the game opened??), I knew she was problematic. The booty shorts was just icing on the cake.
It’s a shame because I was really looking forward to the Magicians game until I realized it was a bastardization of theme and just a thinly veiled set-up for TS. Whatever.
Do find it funny that she didn’t just kill off some characters but their whole goddamn family, lol

This tracks, getting approved was an enormous pain in the ass because she literally rewrote the rules as I applied too.
I mentioned my character had a little flame spirit he’d summoned living in his lighter, having taken a dot in Familiar and not really seeing anything else about it anywhere, and she was like, “no, no, not possible, summoning is very complicated and difficult and needs a lot of prereqs, did you see the rules about it?” And I hadn’t, so I reloaded the site and she had just uploaded an article about it, loooooool.
(Of course, her main there is a summoner.)
I’m a stubborn fuck and just wanted to play somewhere to stop being rusty and didn’t really care anymore, so I just worked with her, but if she had just taken my character like she did yours I would be royally pissed, investment or no.
Capital-Y Yikes.
-
never trust a staff who can’t admit to their own fucks up, even as something as small as not having posted clear rules on x.
-
I never even finished making my character on the game, after having some lengthy but pleasant conversation with other players about my concept and if it would work.
Largely because once I’d chatted with them - and briefly with her - she got into a massive and public argument with a player who said they didn’t understand the magic rules, which were spread out in several places, and trying to figure out if they were missing information or really just didn’t get it.
After punting said player off the game (which she called ‘disinviting’ them), she paged me out of nowhere to apologize for me 'having to see that '. Was friendly and generally helpful even though I echoed much of the same things that the person she just punted said…
Even put up a more consolidated article like the punted player asked for that was apparently so disrespectful and problematic.
What was the difference, you might ask?
The punted player was female - or at least their character was. My login was a nickname used by both genders, but primarily (and historically) one used by men.
The second I referred to my character as ‘she’, the helpfulness evaporated and I got one line or one word answers.
Gee. I wonder what could possibly explain the shift.
-
I feel like any player who cannot seem to treat people with kindness and respect on their own game is unlikely to treat people with kindness and respect on my game.
As such, she’s been “disinvited” from Under the Stars. I sent her a very polite note indicating that we did not feel that she was right for our collaborative environment, and I have heard nothing from her since.
I have noticed a certain amount of new players joining us who had concerns about her presence. She has been unapproved, and if she makes herself a nuisance, she will be Gone. Not ‘dead’, just gone. I have no need to be petty and spiteful. I do not care to be vindictive.
