      I’m actually sorta glad the guy who has been banned from juuust about every single mush hes ever logged onto has shown his colors here as well.

      If we can just get him removed from moderator of the MUSH discord the hobby might finally be free of one more absolute prick who should never have any power over anything.

      Not glad this happened, it’s obviously a little hissy fit, and it’s going to negatively impact a bunch of people. But glad it’s at least most likely over now.

        @Polk You are literally the reason when they fire or lay people off at some jobs they immediately lock your access and escort you to your desk to pick stuff up. And hey, if you are that guy, then you are that guy. I guess respect for owning it?

        I used to work with this guy I shared an office with who got shitcanned one afternoon. Turns out I forgot to lock my computer around that time and went to go talk to my boss about something.

        The next morning, boss is blowing up my phone, apparently this guy emailed Steve Ballmer (this should tell you what company it was) from my mailbox on his way out with a bunch of fuck yous and other insults that were definitely fourth-tier.

        My boss is laughing as he knows where I was at that exact time, and he was like – “Come on, if you were going to do that to Ballmer, I’d expect more creativity.” Long story short I just reply-alled Sweaty Steve and my boss, his boss, and her boss a “Sorry, my bad, this is an object lesson on securing one’s workstation.” It immediately blew over.

        A couple years later I went to buy somebody out of a lease on a car and it turns out she was married to the one of the people in the management chain referenced in the email reply thread above , I discovered this when I went to pick it up. His response: "Hey! You were the “‘Fuck you Steve’ guy!”

        I was later recognized and referenced in a job interview a year after that.

        Again, this is barely on-topic but the moral of the story here: Make it count. I guess?

        I woke up feeling so good, I think I’d better call in sick/ I need a personal trainer to help me hold my drink
        I plan to be spontaneous next time we meet/I’m putting off procrastinating until next week
        I’ll get onto it when I give a shit

                      "They delight in acting in bad faith, since they seek not to persuade by sound argument but to intimidate and disconcert. If you press them too closely, they will abruptly fall silent, loftily indicating by some phrase that the time for argument is past.”
                      ― Jean-Paul Sartre

                          @Hinotori The game has no discord server, on Sundance’s orders.

                              They don’t have one, to try and keep this sort of drama from happening. It worked for a while but then this kid just couldn’t resist kicking over a sandcastle.

                                The implication here seems to be I engaged in malicious compliance. But there was no way of extricating myself without some form of downtime, due to how hosting works.

                                  You shut it down in the middle of a conversation where you attempting to gaslight Public was being cleared up and addressed. There’s a huge difference between an hour of planned downtime and what you did.

                                  But please keep posting through it. This is fantastic.

                                    Oh, some may want to know: Sundance authorized Phantasmavore to authorize me to help him set up things on Digital Ocean.

                                      @SpaceKhomeini Go big enough to be annoying but not get sued? Depending on what someone does, it can have very serious, and expensive, legal repercussions. With back-ups and cloud these days its hard to really do much damage other than causing outages and delays. Though, depending on your business that can get expensive fast if a web site is down for even a few hours.

                                        @Hinotori We don’t have any official Discord. I’m hanging out here, and will post more meaningful updates when we have them. We still don’t have a timeframe for when the game will be up and running, but I promise to pop in here and let folks know when we do.

                                        If anyone has any questions, they can poke me in messages too.

                                          remember that time someone shared this 2018 discord log on MSB two years ago where polk freaked out about someone taking issue with a transphobic joke? i do. it was one of the many highlights of the liberation thread over there wherein many people warned sundance about working with polk.

                                          Yep, sure was. Maybe people won’t do that again, it’s not like there isn’t copious evidence of what comes of doing that.

                                          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

                                            that’s…literally what happened in front of tons of witnesses. you come off here like you’re having some sort of mental health crisis, man.
