@howyadoin Yeah and now it’s coming off as super weird and at least a little bit shady without at least some further context. Best of luck, though.

I’m dying out here. What’s the policy?
ETA: Okay, okay, okay. A good and wise friend has pointed out to me that perhaps it makes sense to not want to say in all cases. Obviously lying to get TS is really fucking bad tho, okay?
-
@Tez GDPR compliance. TS can only be between EU member states.
-
@Rathenhope Wanna break some laws?
-
@Tez it’s okay I’m not in the EU anymore
-
@howyadoin You right. My bad. Maintain your privacy on this one, peace. The compliance stuff set off my alarm bells.

Outside of the EU it’s just sparkling cybersex.

To be honest I feel like TS is probably the #1 thing MU*ers lie OOCly to get, I don’t know why this peeve would strain credulity.
-
@Kestrel lol I assure you, credulity remains unstrained indubitably. The second response just had the whiff of there being some kind of new and interesting sex rule
that was being broken ??? instead of like… a normal ass rule like not creeping on someone with an undisclosed alt. That’s all. -
@helvetica Aye, my read of it was similar and so was my reaction. It was less “I don’t believe you” and more “… more details please, spill all of the tea.”

Alright alright alright.
I just didn’t want this to turn into a discussion about policy when it’s not a matter of the policy involved but of obtaining consent under false pretenses.
There is a prohibition on relationship roleplay with characters that have been in the game for less than two weeks. The rule applies even to returning players playing a new character.
“Pat” violated this policy multiple times. Fine. But in at least two of those times, “Pat” also provably lied about how long their character had been in game (when directly asked by the other players involved) in order to obtain their consent. In both, “Pat” significantly exaggerated their character’s time in the game.
“Pat” knew the rule. A character’s creation date as well as their number of days in the game are spelled out on their sheet, which “Pat” knows. It wasn’t a matter of forgetfulness or plain uncertainty.
“Pat” was caught and removed from the game.

You’re right. That sucks.
I just had the same reaction as @helvetica and was leaning back in my chair thinking about the the wild world of policies. Thinking about comic games making unfortunate rules about character gender and sexuality. IDK.
Our hobby sure is a place sometimes.
