@sao What stands out to me about him is that whenever I’d post a Grayson newsletter the only thing he ever had to say about it–and he did it almost every time–was to point out some typo or complain about something in it. And it really made me wonder why I bothered at all.
He did ask me to a threesome IC once and I was like lol no. I am not even slightly interested in that. And then he basically stopped RPing with me.

If it quacks like a duck, it should be reported is a good rule. Better safe than sorry.
-
…we also need to look out for ducks now? This hobby is getting harder every day.
-
@Solstice Yes. Ducks are evil and so are Geese.
-
Excuse me, the clements are nicknamed the ducks and they are FAR from evil.
-
@junipersky sounds like something an evil duck would say.
-
Now I have an idea for a game where evil ducks scheme to steal bread from humans, but through some long winded, Rube Goldberg-esque shenanigans, accidentally begin to conquer the world.

@junipersky I have it on very good authority that Norwood is an uncaught Bringer… of BEES.

I’d do it but no one would give two ducks about a game I’d make like that

@Apos Take that joke out behind the chemical shed and shoot it as a warning to the others.

RE: Last Ban
In my experience, Eddard/Michael/Phelan is a manipulative player. We’ve been on multiple games over time.
He can come across friendly and outgoing and generally knows who to push and not. He hides his RP and other RP partners through a variety of shady practices. At the same time telling people alternative stories OOC. He’s even careful how he emits in public, so he can deny what he’s doing and control the situation.
Where it gets more serious, is how he tries to shift the IC relationship to the OOC realm. Relationships are not the problem, but his actions are. He leverages RP to form a relationship under false pretenses and bombards with contact to build a rapport. He then asks for deeply sensitive stuff. If he doesn’t get what he wants, he starts to change and:
- Causes repeated distress
- Makes leading promises
- Uses intimate knowledge to shift blame
- Retreats and returns
- Pushes and breaks boundaries
When confronted about his behavior, he lies to cover it up and makes more promises. When he’s caught; he denies, guilts, deflects, and makes excuses. This pattern of behavior is harmful and can make it harder to report.
The player does this repeatedly, he’s unsafe.
