An Arx Peeve Thread

@junipersky I literally had a dream the other night wherein I was on the phone with someone that my brain had decided was @IoleRae, upset at me for not RPing enough.
Brains are fkn weird.
let it be a challenge to you

Gosh. It’s hard to resist the urge to apologize. Agreed, brains ARE weird.

You should primarily apologise for being on the phone.
It’s 2023, who does that?

@imstillhere this is the perfect place to employ the playing dumb tactic. Take it at face value: they are looking for RP! They have not specified who or what in any way. If they start being weird about it, ignore everything that isn’t a statement you can actually respond to and keep RPing unless/until it’s not fun. If they get weird-weird, report to staff! If they only wanted a cute girl and you show up instead, they’re fully capable of exiting the scene.

@IoleRae I have zero idea why my brain did this, lol. Sorry to single you out, I mostly posted because ???

Hahaha, oh, please don’t apologize, I was tickled by it. Brains are so weird!

Somebody asked me to RP on a particular RP hook/behavior of theirs, then when I showed up to RP about it, they freaked out at me IC for invading their privacy. Mean stuff was said. Then at the end they were like “nah I’m not mad you just need to learn boundaries.”
WTF

@imstillhere i don’t understand.
Is it like…Sally told you oocly she wanted you to come rp about her bubble pipe collection and then when you showed up (at her invitation and knowledge oocly) with your bubble solution and bubble pipe so you could blow bubbles together she had a shitfit ICly and started icly accusing your pc of being some weirdo because how dare anyone even suspect she liked to blow bubbles in the first place?
I have definitely RPed with people both on Arx and elsewhere that loved to set traps so they could flounce off (usually to other people icly) or sharpen their claws on me but if someone does any kind of weird ooc thing like that that’s a hard pass for any rp after that.
-
@mietze Yeah basically. They came in another rp I was having, acted weird, paged me about how them acting weird was a hook. Then when I showed up next day like “why were you acting weird are you ok” it was all this drama of “how dare you pry into my business for your own personal curiosity.”
like what, lol
I figured it’s probably not worth reporting because it was all IC except the weird “it’s a hook!” page. But I definitely don’t want to reach out to them again.
-
@imstillhere Honestly, I find that a little weird and I’m being really generous here.
-
@imstillhere I would still drop staff a line so that the uncomfortable social-PvP trap is on record.
-
@imstillhere i think its worth reporting tbh. Its very weird and you probably aren’t the only person that has been targeted but I do understand that its uncomfortable to report too.
-
@imstillhere
No, that’s definitely behavior that I would want to see reported to me were I running a game. None of that was “IC”, all of the poor behavior was OOC. The player made the choice to invite you to a scene to which her character was going to react like this, knowing it in advance, and did not tell you.
It was an OOC PVP trap. You were baited into PVP OOCly. That’s not OK. She’s graveyard farming. Report it.

I think this person either got banned or quit actually, as of like right now, lol
It is honestly a bit of a relief.
ETA: banned. Thank goodness

@IoleRae What’s graveyard farming??
