      Hold on, I really like those uniforms. Who are those dudes? I don’t remember that from TNG

      It’s from a TNG episode called “Cause and Effect” where the Enterprise encounters a Starfleet ship from the recent-to-them past (the ‘movie’ era where they had the red uniforms like this, you saw them in most of the TOS movie).

      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

                nothing in that log is new or exciting. fun that you shared! definitely puts me firmly in the camp of ‘guy was bad vibes’. but man, it’s so tiring all these gross guys behave the same way.

                I shared largely because I feel like reading their script has value. If you know the sort of keys to look for, you can deconstruct this behavior easily. You can watch him trying to gaslight me like he’s following a textbook on how to gaslight people.

                And it’s very much of interest to me to show people that they are not alone when it comes to being targeted by creepers. He targeted me, and that was a poor choice on his part, and I cut his career at City of Glass quite short with my casual indifference towards his emotional manipulations. Because creepers aren’t targeting just you. They’re casting a wide net as they look for potential victims.

                Also, it’s valuable to report things to staff when things are just starting to get weird. One of the first things I did with this guy was ask @Roz if he was being creepy or if it was just me. She then advised me to use Ares’ pm/report Royal=###/Being creepy. so that staff would have it on record.

                  @Tributary you are definitely right. sorry, i didn’t mean it to come off like-- idk, you shouldn’t have shared or that it was just fun gossip to read. i do think seeing the patterns is good for the hobby!

                  i was just very /tired/ of players like that when i posted.

                    @Meg I’m not sure you came off that way, but I wanted to write that stuff out explicitly. Sort of to confirm how right you are. Like, this is what they do, this is their script, but there are options and there will be repercussions for them.

                      @Tributary I was actually the one that had been paging him right around when the rave started and asked him to show up, completely unaware that all this other stuff was happening in the background.

                      He told me that his date had ditched him and I assumed he meant Lucene, because RL had eaten her. Mind you, he never mentioned any of this other stuff to me. I’d only just started talking to the guy a few days before.

                      I will admit, after hearing what happened and him talking to me about his char, I had vague suspicions that he was that mage player that used to use Mind on female chars all the time. I think I might be wrong, though.

                        @RedJellyBean Ah, interesting! So that part wasn’t a lie. And yeah, Lucene was originally his date, and she “ditched him” by blocking him on Discord and fleeing.

                        He did use Mind to read Aubrey’s thoughts, yes. Does that sound about right?

                          @Tributary The guy I’m thinking of used to use Mind to coerce female chars to sleep with him. He played on Haunted Memories, if that helps. I cannot remember his name. I’m thinking it’s not the same person, but just coincidental with them being Mage and leaning heavily into Mind for stuff.

                          Honestly, I didn’t get any red flags from him when talking to him, but, like I said, I had only started talking to him a few days ago and only did one scene with him.

                          I only wondered about the possibility of him being this other person after I’d heard what had happened.

                            @RedJellyBean I think you’re thinking of Jeurg (Juerg? I can’t remember the spelling) from Haunted Memories who I think got a reputation for that kinda weirdness. No idea if it’s the same player though.

                            Mastigos and Mind Magic seems to be one of the common IC creeper covers. They’re meant to be confrontational and do awful things to make you think! Which can be a fine concept if handled properly oocly but I feel like a lot of weird folk have hidden behind it over the years.

                                @Tez Hee.

                                All the CoD stuff have spaces for creepy folks to hide behind ‘I’m just acting IC!’ unfortunately. I’m sure a lot of game systems might. I don’t think I saw it in Mage more than anywhere else, but it’s been ages since Mage was allowed in a lot of these games.

                                            Ah, Shamash, yes. We had that experience briefly as well. Didn’t ban him – he got into a fight with another player and they both left.
