"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
@nobody Can I get Liberations discord server info?
@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.

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.
@Wizz Nah, this is his m.o. every time. It’s a lifestyle.
i’m pretty sure the medical term for this is a “tantrum.”

Also, it sounds like something led to this that isn’t being talked about. The catalyst that made Sundance want to gently let Polk go to be a player without being involved as staff.

Yeah to all of this.
It took me a bit to figure out exactly what was physically done here upon reading this thread – Polk’s sort of assuring everyone that his stake in this ensures he’s 100% redundant, but that doesn’t seem to be the case?
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
@SpaceKhomeini Apparently Sundance never made the backups I told her to make, of the website.
And nobody can reach Ambrosia.
So Phan asked Sundance to let me help him set up on Digital Ocean. So I’m pulling my own backups and helping him.
@Polk In fact I’m now an admin on Phan’s DO, so I’m just copying over all the backups I have from this morning, just to make sure.
@Roz Honestly, I’m not at all surprised. Similar things have happened frequently for as long as I’ve been on the game. Although… Never to this “flip over the table in a childish rage” extent.
