Star Wars Age of Alliances: Hadrix and Cujo

Speaking of 15 years in appearance. Cujo is completely okay, on a sex pest and TS-ridden game such as AoA, with allowing underage Characters to exist.
Huh. Been a while since I was actually, literally nauseated by a game. Think I might go make a nice mug of tea or something.

Removed skeevy pic

@CuriousGamer I would be grateful if we could avoid joking about it. I’m having a visceral enough reaction already.
-
Thank you.
-
I’m not sure if anything has actually hit the game in terms of consequences, but it looks like 5-10 less chars are connected at most times.
Seems like Cujo is just very much This is done, move on. What consequences could actually be levied, if any? Obviously people are spreading the word. But are there really that many people that don’t know? Like - what’s the mood on the game? I don’t play there, so I don’t know the playerbase’s thoughts.

@CuriousGamer I don’t think the picture was skeevy–it was very obvious from context what was going on–but thank you for removing the joke.

@GF I’m watching things out of morbid curiosity. It’s like poking a dead thing with a stick.

@Pax Well said. Not least because newbies have to grind a LOOOOOOOOOOONG time to get a halfway decent character (mostly due to the whole clique let’s-all-nom-each-other tactics). This AoA DSS shit is even worse than D20 Star Wars.
Can confirm. I had help from friends whoinvited me to build my character, and loan me some half decent gear until I could buy my own. I saw a brand new player show up to one of my early scenes with only the starter gear you could get in chargen. Did not have a single successful attack roll the whole scene. Was never seen again.

Let’s not do this one.

Sounds like one of them potential TOS violations with the host server. Not that I am a lawyer or have ever seen a contract for hosting a mu server. Since someone was asking what could be done.

You shouldn’t expect any massive consequences. Life is incredibly unfair and the cycle of abuse is extremely difficult to break. Should the game wither away, it will likely happen over a lengthy period of time. Immediate repercussions are unlikely to occur.
I haven’t been on in a few days, but if I had to guess, the majority of the RP that is happening on the grid is driven by/related to those mentioned in this post and their sycophant followers. It’s been this way for a little while now.
Those that choose to play there without being part of the primary cliques may be able to continue to ignore the transgressions of the administration for some time. It’s hard to let go if you’ve been playing there for years. That said, with Cujo’s frequent attempts to quell the situation with on-grid announcements, it’s going to be very hard to keep turning a blind eye to the division.

It’s true.
Some of the players there are stuck in the mindset of ‘But we’re about to get 500 XP for free! We can’t leave now!’
Little do they know they can get 600 XP by playing Duolingo for like an hour, and they can learn Mandarin.
-
@DarthSmegma For a second there you had me thinking that Cujo had some kind of ad revenue system!

You can’t use the Duolingo XP to upgrade Charm: Seduce to 100 and force other players into extremely uncomfortable situations.

@TooManyCharacter Maybe if you learn French?

Hi everyone,
Wow, this is hard to write. I’ve probably written and deleted about five of these posts by now, and who knows if I’ll be brave enough to click send on this one. Anyway, way back up at the top there, I actually made a brief cameo in this thread as the girl who got a notoriously bad harasser banned for sending her porn. Not sure that’s ever something I had on my list of things to be known as, but here we are.
This might sound pretty ridiculous to you guys, but I actually cried when he got banned. Not because I regretted it, but because I hate causing people pain. Surely, I thought, it must’ve been something I said that made him do it. I led him on, or made him think it was something I’d find funny or hot. Surely, I thought, it was my fault.
I know, I know. But I reported him knowing that, if I didn’t, he’d do it to someone else. And it was dealt with swiftly.
I’ve spoken to Zephyr about this recently, and while I didn’t want to weigh in on this discourse in the slightest (who needs that chaos in their life lol), I felt it was necessary to say, in no uncertain terms, that I believe her, and I believe it was her that had my back in that moment. Furthermore, I believe everyone who’s shared their experiences. It all breaks my heart, at the end of the day. It breaks my heart because I’ve had good experiences with just about everybody on Age of Alliances. I’ve told good stories with people. Had a lot of laughs, too.
I find myself wishing for a lot of things. I wish, maybe, I’d had tougher conversations with people around me. I wish this all had been handled differently. I wish I could still play the stupid Star Wars game without being reminded of all this, but I’m not sure if that’s possible any more. I’m not sure what I want to do. But I am sure that I’m disappointed.
For those of you who have shared your experiences, just know that you have all of my love and support.

No, thank you. Everyone is responsible for their own actions. No one makes anyone else do anything. It is everyone’s personal responsibility to move forward in any interactions/relationship without offending the other person. There are many ways to progress with someone without jumping to something offensive.
But I appreciate your sharing, especially since it was obviously difficult for you, and I’m sure others do too.

Not at all. I’ve never cried over my actions leading to an abuser being punished, but I have felt miserably guilty each time. In hindsight, I think that was intentional on my abusers’ part: they deliberately made me feel an emotional connection to them so I’d be conflicted, feel disloyal, feel guilty, about causing them distress. That doesn’t sound like exactly what you’re going through and I don’t mean to suggest that your empathy is a contrivance on your abuser’s part; I just mean, I know how you feel even if I got there from a different direction.

A pretty decent number of players seem to be in the process of leaving, just doing it on their own terms. Star Wars MUSH appears to be where they’re going, it’s had a huge spike in logins.
