I like the spicy typing and getting weird.
For this sentence alone you have my respect.

@Anony-Mouse friendship bad

@Anony-Mouse Hi. I’m Chani. I started on AoA some time ago and I’m the person responsible for bringing Sumi Kora/Poe Dameron/Aryn Cortess to the game. I’m also responsible for the presence of Nora Frayus/Fae Renta/Luna Tokani and Colo Nell. The latter are a pair of RP friends I knew from a different game. I used to know Sumi IRL, and did for years. After learning of their interest in RP, I decided to invite them to try out MUSHing. To say that I regret that is an understatement.
To start, I did not know about the kind of toxic individual they are, and when I did discover it, our friendship ended. As you can imagine, it ended the way things typically end with Sumi: by being blocked in every format they can think to block someone in, while they go around saying, “I don’t know why, but that person won’t talk to me anymore,” which is typical attention-garnering behavior for someone who abuses people and wants to establish themselves as the victim first.
I played Jessika Pava on AoA for a number of years, and she was my most active character. After the war factions started to receive a little less attendance (I wasn’t sure of the reason at the time, though in retrospect Poe’s presence probably had a lot to do with it), I was speaking with Cujo about potential ways to get some more interest and that’s one of the things that was landed on. It had nothing to do with helping Poe farm +noms.
I also didn’t have a character in every organization Poe is apart of. I had Jessika Pava and then I tried out the Jedi Order a few times until landing on Chani, a character concept that I enjoyed versus all the others I’d trialed. For a brief time, I tried out a news reporter bit named Raina Tanassi, I think. I thought it was fun to write news stories about things that were going on, but was unfortunately not able to keep up with it. I have never had a Mandalorian character, a bounty hunter, a spice runner, Alderaanian, or any other affiliation/organization related to Sumi/Poe/Aryn. And, yes, it’s true, I attended a lot of Poe/Sumi/Aryn’s events. We were RL friends at the time.
I’ve never had an HRD in the Koras that downloaded itself to numerous HRD bodies. I wasn’t involved with the Koras in any dedicated fashion. I had an engineer character on Nar Shaddaa who would repair their ships and participated in none of their events or their general RP. I was never part of the +group in any sense.
I was also not in the habit of ignoring people in scenes. I did my best to acknowledge other characters, their dialogue, and what they were doing in a scene, save for people who made it clear to me OOC that they wanted no sort of contact with me.
I’m not a perfect person. I’m sure there were a few people who disliked me. I didn’t like everyone, but I tried to never let it interfere IC, because at the end of the day, I was there to enjoy a hobby and a game, not marry IRL drama with IC drama. I took a few breaks from the game for that very reason. I’ve been following this thread since it came out and also decided to leave AoA when the depth of the issues became apparent. I have my own anecdotes about going to Cujo over player behavior and being told, “Just don’t talk to that person,” and, “If I banned everyone that was a problem, no one would be here playing.” To be honest, I thought it was just me. Then he removed Kasia and Hex, the two people who went out of their way to meet and play with me the very first time I played a character there, and the evidence against what Cujo was covering up really started to come to light.
To anyone who had a negative interaction with me, I can only offer an apology, but I’m not guilty of some of the things I’m being accused of and being associated with Sumi in that way makes me nauseous, because their behavior and the behavior of those they’re associated with is disgusting.

@Krautistanian Speaking of Banshee, he’s gotten his Sithy Force twink bit back. After the Reliquary faction that he ran (largely into the ground) disappeared, so did Kuolo. Now he’s back under the name Darth Kuolo, and probably affiliated with the Sith Empire somehow.
Banshee/Kuolo was the original Kylo Ren on the game, the guy who got put in charge of the First Order faction, only to have it die for the first of many times due to lack of activity, largely due to Banshee’s own lack of interest in doing anything to run his own faction. The only thing he put effort into is trying to whine/wheedle/cajole/browbeat FO PCs into doing all the work of running the faction, and finding ways to punish them if they didn’t. He eventually got ousted from the Kylo Ren bit, though Cujo instantly gave him another powerful Dark Side Force-user alt. Given that Banshee is one of Cujo’s best friends on the game, this was to be expected. Anony Mouse knows more about this than me, so I’ll leave the details to them.
It should be noted that Banshee’s number one goal on the game is to have the most powerful Force-using character, PERIOD. And given that he writes and plays like a 13-year-old edgelord trying to out-edge 15-year-old edgelords, it should surprise no one that he plays nothing but Dark Side users.
In short, he is a player to avoid. At all costs.

Very heavily makes me think of this scene over and over in my mind at this point.

I guess one way to pad the WHO list might be the testdummy user?

@CuriousGamer The TestDummy has been a thing for a long time.

oh, hey look, it’s Merek, the least surprising thing about all this.

literally one of the worst attitudes a game staffer can have about player discipline, holy shit

@Istus Oh really? I’ve never seen one. Well. You learn something new every day.

@CuriousGamer Let’s kick this pig! Is he referring to himself or someone else…
-
That is Yeti’s testing bit to test out code on.

@CuriousGamer I don’t mean this as praise but… at least the game isn’t running on HSpace.
I don't know what I'm doing. Poke at Seven Nations sevennations.aresmush.com port 2021

Used to be, and should still be. I broke TSpace two different ways without even trying, and pointed out another bug over a decade ago that probably still hasn’t been looked at.

I am now seriously trying to recall if I ever saw a MU* without him. Is he like crabs? Every MU has to have him?

@kalakh Can you imagine that sentence ever going over well amongst our staff? It boggles the fucking mind.
lol lmao
