    @shit-piss-love said in Macha Awareness (And Unappreciation) thread:

    Is there a reason these call-out posts don’t include a list of the characters/games these people have played on?

    There are two factors complicating this. First, we don’t necessarily know instances of this particular person being a player vs some random person who made someone uncomfortable that one time. Second, we have a memory for repeated behaviour far more robust than the transient names attached to said behaviour.

    Nonetheless, it might be a good idea for someone to compile a list.

      @Testament I, too, having run into a similar person, and am getting the same vibes, AND I’m wondering if I’m just reading too much into it. I’m glad that people at least post stuff to look out for.

        @shit-piss-love She played Brielle, Alessia, and Kate on X-Men Movieverse MOO (originally X-Men MUCK) during my days on the game (2009-2011). That’s the “XMM” that some of us have mentioned.

          @Pax And there’s been a shortage of spoons the past 3-4 years. Something something supply chain issues.

            My history with Macha that I posted in the other thread and then removed because I was like, maybe this isn’t a dump on Macha thread. But if given the opportunity to share my experience:

            You could have a log of her character saying the sky is green, and both IC and OOC, she would vehemently disagree and say she never said it, that you’re making stuff up, etc. I honestly already suffer from some neurodivergency and she made me feel like I was going crazy at some points.

            Macha is pre-banned on any game I ever run. If I ever come back to the hobby. Or ever run a game, though history has proven that will never happen.

              I very much encourage people who get a ‘vibe’ off someone to listen to their gut and maybe do a check in with someone trusted. I regularly gut check with @KarmaBum because I don’t know if I’m overreacting, and I always appreciate her insights into things.

              That being said, Macha isn’t the only person out here like this and I think it just goes back to a general problem that people tend to default to the idea that women in MUs that harass male characters aren’t “harassing” them at all. But that’s a separate problem in and of itself and probably deserves its own thread.

                Well, she definitely used to have a handle on Ares. She must have nuked it.

                Almost like she’s hiding.

                I knew her on Horror 2 as Drea.

                I can’t remember her name on SR. She only put in enough RP to confirm no one wanted to hump her PC.

                        @CuriousGamer would you mind editing your post to add the names / games?

                          I didn’t find a playlist for Macha unsurprisingly. I did however find this little bit that feels like irony.

                            Nothing like deciding on the physical attributes of other make believe people because you are big mad. Jesus.

                              Macha played Betsy Braddock and Bobbi Morse on Infinite Adventures, and I honestly believe that post was about Infinite Adventures because it was closing down around the time that was posted.

                              The headwiz of the game was a friend of hers, and I guess she figured that they would have her back no matter what kind of shit went down, obviously she was very wrong about that.

                                @Lucidmoon She also played the initial Betsy Braddock on Heroes Assembled and she became enraged because Alex Summers wouldn’t sleep with her. Then she tried to bang my character and I was like thanks but no thanks and then she never spoke with me again.

                                  @KarmaBum Macha used to be handled on Ares yes. I thought I remembered somebody mentioning a Betsy though. There is a CinnamonGirl who’s only character is Betsy from an Infinite Adventures.

                                    I didn’t have direct experience there, but I have heard from more than one person that she was apparently the gamerunner of Marvel 80s. Not sure if anyone else has more detail there.

                                      @Tez I wouldn’t mind. Here’s what I have.

                                      • Heroes Assemble Mush - First Betsy Braddock
                                      • United Heroes (pre Ruby Rogue) - asked to step down
                                      • Santa Rosalia - Delilah (banned)

                                      • Infinite Adventures - Betsy (banned)
                                      • Marvel: The 80’s (forget who, but she was the headwiz)
                                      • Empire State Heroes (unknown characters)
                                      • Horror 2 - Drea
                                      • Thunder Gultch (I’m not sure who she was, but I’ve heard she was there)
                                      • XMM - Xmen Movieverse - Brielle, Alessia, Kate

                                      Anyone have names to add, or games/places?

                                          @CuriousGamer X-Men Movieverse - Brielle, Alessia, Kate.

                                          @TNP could probably ID the characters she had on ESH.
