You should name your next cat Ekko, because of this ad.

Really old drama.
I almost put this in the “Good Things” thread just as an example of things I’m so glad we decided as a group to stop doing.

14 general questions, then 33 questions on the gold application and 26 for bronze.
Question 24 on the gold application is amazing.
- During your first hatching that you’re running as a Junior, you hear on the grapevine that your Weyrleader is flirting with prospective candidates and promising them search and/or impression on acceptance of TS. Your Weyrwoman is his RL wife, and has no idea any of this is going on, and in fact, you know, told him on a number of occasions not to TS. What do you do?

@KarmaBum WHAT WAS THE RIGHT ANSWER?
she/they

@Tez It’s a Pern game. You’re probably already TSing both husband and wife without either knowing, so you talk to the staffer you’re also TSing about it and watch the marriage implode. Obviously.
He/Him. Opinions and views are solely my own unless specifically stated otherwise.

@Tez Allow me to quote @Snackness:

I don’t think I’ve ever seen vaguebooking in the form of an application question before.

ELI5. In a silly-drama way, to stay on topic.

Allow me to translate:
“My husband lies to my face about whipping his imaginary dick out after I’ve repeatedly asked him not to. You’re gonna tell me if he does it again, right? RIGHT?!?”
Cause it’s always super fun when your RP inadvertently sticks you in the middle of a real life couple and their drama.

I found this while researching a reported player the other day.
https://forums.untold-dawn.com/t/banned-amorcinocera-cameron-a-tall-tanned-man/280
To summarize, Amor RPs something he regrets, gets bullied about it incessantly by another player (Nine) IC, and wishes it would stop so he could have fun playing the game again. Amor goes to staff (Rune) to find a resolution.
If it were me handling this, the easiest solution would be to cancel that storyline and reach out to the character who’s doing the bullying to remind them to check-in OOC to see if other players are having fun with the teasing. Matter resolved. Make a note of it for future reference.
That’s not at all what happened in this circumstance. I don’t even know how to fully explain it. Amor was talked down to by Rune to the point that Amor seemingly regretted even bringing it up. Nine was banned later on, and Rune saw Amor improving afterwards. However, Amor still felt unappreciated. He seemingly let it bleed into RP in a pair of THINKs, and then realized that the best choice was to take a break. So he did, and Rune banned him on his way out.
We don’t have the full story from the logs, but I certainly wouldn’t feel appreciated if the only positivity I received from staff was when I agreed to stay quiet about the issue that was preventing me from enjoying the game.
In my experience as staff, when someone is coming to you with a problem about another player that’s affecting their ability to play, they’re most often taking a huge leap of faith that you’ll find some way to help them find enjoyment again. I say it’s a leap of faith, because plenty of players have been burned by conversations like this one that make reaching out to staff an anxiety-inducing affair.
People are going to make mistakes in their RP that make them uncomfortable OOC. We don’t need to force players to live with those mistakes.
