Somehow, Kissinger is still alive…

BUT!

BRB making a few alt accounts to upvote all my own posts, since all you cowards refuse to give me enough microdoses of dopamine.

(: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
(:Public:) Cujo says, “Ax, you don’t care about any of those things.”
(:Public:) Cujo says, “If you did, you’d put in a request to talk privately.”
(:Public:) Cujo says, “But you didn’t do that, you posted it publicly because you want to make a huge show of things.”
(:Public:) Cujo sayz, “So now you’re banned from this channel, well done.”

DO NOT SPEAK OUT, OR YOU WILL BE SILENCED, etc etc. Shocker.

The staff just imperiously announced ‘We’re skipping ahead fifteen years so that Rey and Ben Solo can have lots of babies! If you don’t like it, leave!’

Actually, it’s Rey and Poe’s babies on Age of Kora. Poe, played by Sumi’s player.

Still a better match IMHO.

POE IS MARRIED TO FINN, AND NOTHING JJ OR DISNEY SAYS WILL CONVINCE ME OTHERWISE.

Since Derp and Ghost keep bringing it up, I’ll repeat a point I’ve made before:

People are going to keep talking about the community being hijacked, because at the end of the day, before any of this happened, any of YOU who feel the need to talk about bullies being mean - YOU could have made your own board, and made it however you wanted.

Instead, you decided to change the rules of the board we were all on and throw anyone who disagreed out. Which is the root of it all. And you know it. Because you keep bringing up how we went somewhere else and made the rules we wanted.

And it’s pretty fucked up how you keep rewriting history to justify the decision.

Another person banned for person attacks, despite making fewer personal attacks than Ghost. Maybe it was the big words?

Of course, they had to ban @Kestrel. You showed up with receipts about their hypocrisy. 12/10. Would also upvote if I could.

@kalakh said in Bannings:

The new argument that this is merely the result of wanting more moderation and people are just mad that they are being moderated (because they’re super hypocrites and are now getting theirs), sure is a take.

People wanted moderation to fork threads or move them to different boards, and to ban the rapists or that one guy who sprouts up every couple months and tries to set everything on fire. So technically yes, more moderation was wanted.

But it is an extremely bad faith reading that the logical conclusion is ‘ban everyone who dares to speak out’. Pretty against the spirit of the job that was asked to be done, you might say.

@hobos said in Bannings:

I do care that VulgarKitten lied to those people, and I feel for them, particularly one who I personally admire who was really hurt by the lies. More importantly, she is sorry about it.

If she is actually sorry about it, perhaps she should admit that and apologize, and not pretend to be a totally different, literally new person, which fits the profile of the issues in the first place?

VK/Hella

I didn’t know who Hella was. lmaoooooo

Yeah, she literally changed her username and started pretending to be a new person right after the banning- spree, and nobody has called her out on it.

@farfalla Ares logs are system-created and (to my knowledge) can’t be edited. I would probably take a regular log too, but that would mean I was playing on a non-Ares game, and ain’t nobody got time to go technologically backwards.

Yeah, they can’t be edited unless you’re a coder, because they come straight from the database and not a player’s computer.

THAT JUST PROVES THE CODER IS IN ON THE CHEMTRAIL FLOURIDE CONSPIRACY TO MAKE PEOPLE LOOK BAD BECAUSE THEY ARE AN ENEMY OF THE CLIQUE!!!111!!1!ONE!!!111ELEVEN!

@Roz Meh, updates/clarification were promised to @Popes and @Juniper, and so updates/clarification were delivered.

Back to planning Iceteroid base.

So despite knowing better, I still glance in on the Soapbox every now and then. Three months.

It took three months for a bot ban and people finding out about Curseborne/WoD 3.875, to breath the smollest bit of life back into the Soapbox. Pretty dead before that, too.

And that was what I was vaguebooking about, because I knew the moment I pointed it out, lurkers would spring to activity just to prove that they didn’t kill the community, doing a Weekend at Bernie’s to prove the corpse is still alive, actually.

Anyways, have that small bit of funny during these trying times.

I am not talking about it because I am too busy playing Space Engineers.

@Meg said in Your Latest Batch of (Silly) Drama:

@dvoraen I’m not saying I am RPing or not RPing, but I’m definitely not RPing, because I’m too cool and busy for RP, having a real life.

(Actually, I just play CS2 instead.)

At least it’s not CoD

Speaking of, OPP is kickstarting their own knockoff Legally Distinct Version of WoD. Given how slow their projects tend to run, it’ll be 2026 before the hardcopies are mailed out, but it is definitely a thing!

@Popes When the clock resets, or when we hit 6mo, I will drop more hints!

@Gashlycrumb said in Realism:

That deal where, of all the people who are involved in a situation, the one expected to do something is the one who is least empowered to be effective? Too realistic.

That PC who is rude as fuck, but also extremely touchy (eg. “How are you doing?” “How DARE you! Suggesting that I might be doing anything other than brilliantly is unforgivable insult!”) is also too damn realistic.

First of all, how dare you suggest I am extremely touchy.

I am paranoid about posting about a specific piece of drama, because posting about it may reset a clock that has been running since July 30th.

But it is extremely funny to me.

And this is AFTER an influx of new players over the last few weeks, at least a few of which were returning players.

I’m curious what prompted this. No shade to people who want to circle back to this…experience…for whatever reason…but I’m curious

Generally, any time there is new Star wars media, it re-sparks interest. But the Acolyte was too long ago for anything just a few weeks back, so shrug

@Tori said in MU Peeves Thread:

Random and all, but man. I miss crafting stuff. Crafting for like actual players. Ironically, maybe, I absolutely abhor crafting in video games.

FEAR my latest brain distraction squirrel idea. OR be excited. Maybe both
