Star Wars Age of Alliances: Hadrix and Cujo

@Lemon-Fox You shouldn’t be discouraged for trying to make the best out of a challenging situation. Despite the odds being stacked against you, you had fun with your friends for a good period of time and that’s important. Being revealed the truth will only make it easier for you make that hard decision to leave and dedicate your energy elsewhere. Life is just a series of experiences and this was one of them, sounds like you made newfriends in this hobby which is a huge plus so that is definitely something worth celebrating.

Every single person here who has railed against AoA’s toxicity had the same experience you did. That toxicity doesn’t always make itself immediately known, even if it’s pervasive just beneath the surface. Some persisted for years, trying to wall off the bad in order to be creative with their friends. Some even staffed there. There is a cabal of absolutely shit people at the heart of that game, and that will never change. AoA is their game. It wasn’t yours. It wasn’t ours. It’s a hard-won lesson that still stings for more than a few people who left or were forced to leave when the tipping point was reached. Just remember the good times, the cool people you were able to meet, and the stories that you were able to tell. Those individually unique memories may be the only good thing about AoA, but they do have value.

I wish I was suprised as well, between that one toxic person that seems to have total control over Cujo, Discordia being… erratic and seemingly against any RP that she doesn’t like - a few days ago there was talk on the RP channel about droid repairs and parts, and she had a fit about “Don’t you talk about buying Droid parts on this channel!” even though they were talking about an RP between a droid repiar specialist and someone needing repairs. And that’s without the other issues with some of the other staff.
Seems all too often Discordia’s mantra on dealing with players is shoot, shoot, aim.
Why can’t we have a nice SW MUSH that is run by stable personalities, has a nice large-ish grid (As much as I think AoA’s grid is pretty expansive and nice, it’s a bit too much at times…), isn’t run by people cough Disc cough who are death on anything other than G rated stuff, while making sure that the place isn’t overrun by the Shang crowd.

Oh my god, I literally had this conversation with someone about an hour ago, when they asked why I hadn’t asked Discordia about X Imperial plot. “Because she’s about as friendly and easy to talk to as a buzz saw?” “She’s just brusque! I’m brusque!” And I’m just like, “No, it’s a little more than that.”
-
It is strange that Discordia is attempting to police item transactions, as she is the player who was caught cheating the item system before she was promoted to staff.

I’m starting to feel like the staff on this game are not to be trusted, you guys
he/him

Because everyone who isn’t me hates space code.
… okay, most people who aren’t me hate it, there are some folks who enjoy space trucking.

After talking to Cujo about what happened, he pointed out that he had no idea who Ruby was, and did not mean to intentionally lie to me. And that’s fairly plausible, to be honest. And while I’m still not happy with how everything went down, he did offer to show me the complete logs of when he confronted some friends over the ruling that caused the whole thing. So I don’t think he was trying to be duplicitous. It would be extremely easy to compare those logs to what my friends had.
A few recent comments have made it seem like all this has been an ‘Ah ha!’ moment that all the staff on AoA are bad, and that wasn’t my original take on things. I still like to believe the best in people, but actions do speak louder than words, and Cujo taking the time to talk to me rather than banning me speaks fairly well of him as a person.
I like to correct things as more information becomes available, and I try to be as fair as possible. There’s always more context to be had.
(Still sad my friends are gone though.)

The bar is so low it makes my dating standards seem excessive.
