    The game’s goal right now is to focus on the Time Jump in to the future, and that’s what we ultimately hope to keep the game’s direction entirely aimed toward.

    lol this absolute narcissist shit right here. Kind of had to expect it since we had an actual flying monkey show up in real-time in a thread about a missing stair. It’s got to be wild being on the inside of a cliche and imagining you’re going to gaslight an entire forum full of people with finely tuned bullshit detectors.

      Being on Staff is not a promotion

      Everyone knows how much bullshit this is. I mean, the whole post from Cujo is bullshit based on what’s been shared on this thread, but this part in particular.

      Is being Staff a lot of work? Absolutely. Is it a promotion? I mean, I guess that depends on your definition of a promotion, but it certainly increases your social capital on the game. Claiming that being added to Staff isn’t a promotion is mealy-mouthed gaslighting bullshit.

        All sexual harassment claims are taken seriously though, and if deemed valid, and actively a serious burden, then expect that player to get banned.

        I need to block this thread or something because it is going to turn me into a full-on misandrist. Jesus fucking Christ.

            I believe he gets himself overly excited, and is capable of acting out. I believe just about everyone is capable of that, some worse than others.

            sexually slanted harassment

            It’s just called sexual harassment.

              I mean, if I were you I would cut ties with this mess. Maybe you could help build something worthwhile with some of these players who are dedicated to making a better, more socially responsible game.

              When the people who will defend others leave a space, that space gets worse. People need to know there is someone they can report this stuff to.

              There’s no being a safe space collaborator when the person in charge is rotten. There’s only making the issues public and either ousting or leaving. If you think that you leaving the game would mean that no one else on staff would defend others, you’ve already lost. You can’t save a game from that situation. The fish rots from the head. You cannot have a functional staff wherein any staffers are fundamentally unsafe to report these sorts of issues to, much less the majority of staffers.

              Frankly, no one who has had to be given multiple warnings about inappropriate jerks that others reported as sexual harassment should ever really be considered for staff positions, IMO. The “I’ve been watching him for improvement” should be about him being able to remain as a player on the game, not be a fucking staffer with power over other players, including those he has harassed.

                    @GF First I would have to have any idea who made the complaints, and I think we all know why me suddenly asking for the names of accusers might have pretty bad optics.

                    Nobody is going to believe me if I suddenly show up on scene, telling everyone, “Hey guys! Banshee is here! You’re all safe now!” That would be hilariously dumb. I also can’t make that promise yet. I never said those things because I can’t deliver those things. I can’t provide restitution for the people who were hurt.

                    I cannot undo what has happened. I don’t think I can even provide some measure of comfort to people that were wronged. But someone in the community is here, putting themselves out there for the discussion. So if you want to discuss this, there you go. If you don’t, that’s fine too.

                    Also, I never promised that I was good at this. I never pretended to be an expert.

                        Word. Being sexually harassed is also very personal.

                          Hadrix and Sumi are both toxic as fuck, and them continuing to remain in positions of power dooms the game as long as it exists.

                          It shows that all Cujo cares about is scene numbers and activity. Not about all the people they bully and hurt.

                            @64bitjedi Not to double @ you, but you’re allowed to take a break from this conversation. It’s obvious you’re having trouble with some of the things that this group thinks may redeem you. At some point, you’re just being a punching bag for somebody else. And we keep punching, here.

                              I mean, unless you’re going to come in with proof that all of the stuff that’s been discussed is a pack of lies, then I’m afraid your options are: ignorant, incompetent, or actively malicious. Like, sorry, but even if you are a super upstanding dude yourself, if you’ve been a part of staff for years and have failed to notice the level of rottenness being described, then yeah, that’s incompetence. Or willful blindness.

                                No you don’t. You just have to know that complaints have been ignored and swept under the rug. You just have to know that harassment under Cujo’s watch has caused at least 8 players to leave the game due to discomfort with sex pests on the game. That’s a bare minimum, because 8 corroborated stories have come to light.

                                Imagine how many more reported things to Cujo which went ignored.

                                Imagine how many more left without saying a word.

                                Your game is dying because Cujo would rather keep 5 sex pests (including himself) than 30 non sex pests.

                                What are you going to do about that?

                                  @Roz So my line of thinking is this:

                                  Someone sends me a link to this thread, with a lot of information I didn’t know about. I can either ignore it, or, I can try and get in on the discussion and find out why I didn’t know.

                                  Don’t get me wrong: I knew showing my face would be putting blood in the water. I accept that. But that wasn’t going to change in time.

                                  I’m here trying to be part of the conversation. I’m not here to defend the actions of other people (though I am willing to defend mine), and I’m not here to call people liars. I’m just here.

                                    @64bitjedi You can’t just be here. Games don’t function without coders. You’re someone with influence on that game, and you are being presented with the opportunity to no longer support someone who is demonstratively not interested in changing their deeply troubling behavior. No amount of placating language is going to change that.

                                      (:Public:) Ax (A) is curious what Kasia/Zephyr did that was bad enough to have not only her, but those people associated with her get their alts destroyed and their primary characters (some of who were on vacation) sent to the Old Guard Lounge and @passworded? Is that the new standard of dealing with people who investigate claims of sexual harassment here? Burn them and their associates? I’m just curious

                                          You’ve provided a half-assed defense of your own involvement and some attempted back-and-forth about the code, which isn’t really what any of this was about in the first place. But you’re literally saying you won’t commit to help or even try to comfort the people involved, so it sounds like the first part is really all you came here to do – cover your own butt.
