@Lemon-Fox Hey Lemon-Fox, I’m glad you’re having fun on a game. Enjoy yourself tell the stories you want for the people you want to tell. Remember it’s better to ask for forgiveness with Cujo than permission. Have thick skin and no cares you will be fine.

Just be ready for the first time you cross Banshee, Hadrix, or Aryn. The 'not earned it’s for your admiral bit was just a taste.

Banshee once changed the rules for a force power mid scene cause he couldn’t one shot my very powerful dino Jedi. It was infuriating and funny at the same time.

Oh and yes, I talked to Cujo several times. It was hardly ever a directly bad experience. But years of lip service with no real support coupled with finally seeing the light is why I walked.

Oh if you’re a female player or female presenting player, try getting away with being bossy. He’s afraid of you. You really have the same power as Aryn especially if you can generate rp.

The times Cujo got onto me was my ic love interest was not playing well with others. Cujo would talk to me to get her to behave cause he was scared of her.

@Jumpscare Is these stats for unique connections or total connections? It’s common on Aoa for players to have multiple alts. It might be there was a rush of alts.

There was an Exodus of around 20+ players a few years back started by this thread. So we’ll a lot of us are remembering our old days vs what’s there now.

@Warlander Yeah… I would ignored this completely after a month, especially after giving it a try and it accomplished nothing. All I would have won was a headache from sad Banshee/Aryn/Hadrix noises and extra steps.

This sounds like a want to be table top war game and not a RPG.

That being said it’s all fine and maybe worked. Did they ever address the sex pest issues?

@SqeakyClean Taking Jax? Go for it. I want logs.

@Anony-Mouse

Sometimes we forget that the start of this post was bringing to light the sexual harassment by some of the staff and allowed to happen by Cujo (or perhaps silently encouraged and observed by him if the accusations either in this thread or another location are true.)

I think the events you reference show it’s shows the disfunction and playing players/factions that Cujo and Banshee liked. It made people feel insecure and unsupported on all sides. Which allowed a breeding ground for the deeper problem to spread.

I’m quite sure if you were to talk to Kylo’s player and Oran’s player they would have similar feelings about the event. I’m just guessing but as people were oocly played against one another never knowing their standings with staff. I once encountered a player on another mush that mentioned they didn’t stay on AoA cause Merek was hot shit and how could they compare to him? I think the player had issued with him on another game.

It’s almost like we (the player base) was their own little Sith Academy. They ignored us, until they didn’t to hand out random brutal punishment, or to randomly favor one us for no reason at all. It breed competition, It isolated, and left us to fend for ourselves. If that’s not how you get Sith, then I don’t know what else would do it.

@Pacha said in Numetal/Retromux:

Whoever this supposedly “fine” head staffer is, it seems like they are fine hiring some pretty questionable staff, as long as the leopards aren’t (yet) eating their face.

Right! The head staffer/owner of the game sets the culture of the game. If they’re a sex pest than chances are they will hire staffers that are sex pests or let sex pests get away with stuff on their games.

@Warlander Ha, ha,ha, ha!

For anyone who wants it, Jax’s password is jedi. His +sheet was super good. I salted the Earth and burnt bridges on the way out, So good luck with that. If anybody tries I want logs. I’ll be watching cat videos.

@Warlander Cujo going to Cujo. Banshee got to Banshee. Hadrix is sexual harassing a couch. Aryn got to be the prettiest and most special. Everyone else are just NPCs.

Gawd @ashkuri and @Hobbie could build and run a better sw game if they it built out of the old Elendor database. Then for theme only read an issue of a Star Wars comic, saw half of Acolyte, and @Zephyr explain the Ewok movies to them with sock puppets.

"Note* Nothing wrong with Elendor, It’s just was Lord of the Rings.

@Zephyr That explains why I never found anything good on a vendor.

@ThisGuy Aoa was kinda like one of those places on Tiger King. It was Shoddy and Shady as hell. The owner and a chunk of the staff was nuts but everyone one was having a good time or so it seemed. Then you start peeling everything back you find sexual harassment and abuse.

@Warlander Don’t waste your time, find a better place to rp.

@Aria It’s the gift that keeps on giving.

Macha or not, I hope you’re friend takes steps to keep themselves safe, mentally and emotionally.

@Warlander It was always a hard balance when I tried to run +events for the Irregulars and Saber Squadron in the end. I was always trying to run things where the newbies and non force sensitive pc mattered. Everyone did something epic and half the party nearly died. I probably failed most the time but I hope my players had fun.

@Zephyr They’re going to have bad actors show up whatever they do. What they’re doing now is enabling/empower them. So when things go bad they will be in a weak spot.

I wonder if this is a case of ‘the road to hell is paved with good intentions’ or if it’s a case of ‘the call is coming from inside the staff lounge.’

@GF obi-wan and Anakin weren’t exactly underage Padawans in the movie.

Please, Please, please listen to Zephyr and all the others. (Especially the Public Defender.) I went from interested in the game to hard pass over the under age thing. It will save yourself and your staff lots of problems.

If you’re on the fence please go read some of the threads in rough and ready. There are some very well written accounts and testimony from site members explaining why it shouldn’t be done.

Let’s not add another generation of mushers to those testimonies.

@Pavel Oh yeah for sure. Lol so that just slightly changes how that story goes

@Pavel You’re shitting me right?

@somasatori Not the Paul Chen katanas?! Those crit on 7s and do triple damage.

Once had a friend that was obsessed with mall swords. He had a Umbrella holder full.

He went to the mall with another buddy one time, and after ten minutes of salesman Bs about how some guy named Paul Chen was the second coming of one of ancient Japanese sword masters. He had to have a Paul Chen Katana for the low low price of $250.00. Then wouldn’t shut up about it. Never heard about Mr. Chen again from another source.

Note: I am no sword except. If Mr. Chen is everything the salesman says. I am sorry.

*Edited to spell Chen properly. I’m a Jackass but try not to be

@OnceWas The question would be what would a personification of a mush look like?

Would a Star Wars mu be some dude in a terry cloth robe, some docker’s with a fx saber making sound effects?

A vampire mu would be some lady that raided a Spirit Halloween Store and a Hot Topic?
