Haven: The Safe Haven

I have to say the meltdown really delivered, but my favorite part was the Haven invite so I am delighted to see this branched off with this title.

If you managed this mess in three days (three days, three days, three days), I’m with staff on the ban. You sound like a nightmare.
You had a meltdown over what looked like a player possibly overstepping one time in a pose that required staff involvement. If that’s enough to send you into a spiral and require outside help to resolve, communal writing is going to be a tough place for you to thrive.
Also, please use paragraph breaks.

What is being banned from one because you’re an adult around people who are supposed to be adults but acting like children? A real life struggle.
NO
WHAT
AHHHHHHH GET OUT OF HERE -

I gotta say, I don’t know why you were banned from Concordia, buddy, but at the very least you didn’t react like this.
Rofl.

Be.
An. Adult. -

Is Haven an actual game?

@Polk Buried somewhere at the bottom of the post at the top is this bit:
It’s got about 15 players at peak time right now so if you want to contribute to a game run by decent adults, hop over to Havenrpg.net on port 3000 where everyone treats you right, but your characters oh so wrong.
Haven’s a real experience of a place from tales I’ve heard.

@Tez it’s full of real rp, with real adults who want to keep it real

This is shocking behavior that to a lot of us has, unfortunately, become pretty commonplace. This player is unwell, and has been a massive thorn in the side of Haven’s community for over a decade. Engaging and spurring it on only makes it worse, unfortunately, I’ve seen this repeated literally dozens of times.
Haven is practically dead, it isn’t surprising seeing her moving on to new games. My genuine advice is don’t provoke her, handle her quietly when this happens, and move on.
Anything else, the only result will be more and more escalation.

Eh, it’s not all that shocking. It’s a return to form for a lot of MUing history.
ETA: WORA was basically that, along with a feeling of ennui.

Thanks. This explains a lot.
The embrace of Haven felt weird. It feels to me like this person is rushing to embrace Haven and being overly defensive of it. “They tolerate me (please keep tolerating me, Haven), and join me there, because this is the only place that tolerates me and gets me (looks how loyal I am, don’t ban me)”
-
@Polk She’s made literally hundreds of characters on Haven that have been banned or shut down, and these posts have been made consistently about Haven staff on the forums over there – most have been deleted.
Just keep a heads up, everyone.

This post is deleted! -
@Selira I’m curious about why you haven’t outright banned the player completely. This kind of behaviour is completely unhinged, entitled, and EXHAUSTING.

Back in the day, like 2014 era, Glitch and I were discussing building out a kind of fantasy airship game set around floating islands which I suggested calling “Haven” since that was going to be the name of the main floating island city. I had started writing up theme documents and whatnot describing the city of Haven, put Haven in the connect.txt, and he jumped in and was like “Uhhhh… Soma… there’s another game called Haven and I think this isn’t such a good idea.”
