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.

@Roadspike said in Bannings:

@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!

Unplanned embarassment is fine, I love botching rolls and coming up with BIG OH NO things that happen from them.

… But that’s still me having some kind of say in the failure, so circles back to the control of it all. Meep morp.

@somasatori said in Bad Stuff Happening IC:

No one wants your death pose to be delivered by someone who can’t put together a decent goddamn sentence

I feel attacked, having horri-bad pretendful words filling up my sentences with swollen, purple girthy prose. Luckily, I try not to kill people, instead trying to drag them to the fun dark side, so probably safe.

So I am the ‘if I have control over it’ but of course, there are caveats! Sometimes bad stuff that I do not have control over can be fine. Sometimes it is a sudden curve ball and I have to figure out the response to it and that is too much work, which is why I lean towards the ‘have control over it’.

I am happy to make the character’s life a disaster. Preferably with advance notice, so in the moment, the character who is supposed to be smarter and wittier than I can respond faster than my Tuba brain can process.

… also because maybe we can negotiate a more entertaining Bad Stuff to happen.

@Ashkuri Sending Cujo nudes?

Best I can do is cheer for his hockey team.

@Zephyr said in Star Wars Age of Alliances: Hadrix and Cujo:

Rey’s player

I was worried for a moment you meant a previous player of Rey, who I haven’t been able to talk to since THE GREAT MIGRATION, and since CatLawyer appears to have stopped paying the bill, has vanished into the aether.

Alas, woe, etc and so on.

@Cobalt said in MU Peeves Thread:

Oh, now I remember why I don’t go to new games. The overwhelming feeling that I am not welcome anywhere. (This is nothing anyone has done or said to me, this is my own brain being an asshole to me.)

scribbles note Write… specific characters… for Cobalt… got it.

@Pavel said in Warma-Sheen:

I would be punished for things that the imaginary friend did.

Suddenly, the imaginary friend disappeared.

So she not only punished you for what your friend did, but she killed them, too? Kinda fucked up.

@Cobalt There are some graphic novels that are pretty good. You could also just make a highly skilled mortal and go that way, or a newbie supernatural and learn as you go. The TV show that aired on SciFi… god, almost 20 years ago now, arent horrible, but also not great.

@Tez said in Prove Tez Wrong:

WHY DID THIS TURN INTO A BURN TEZ THREAD.

Because Mean Girls was formative to everyone’s love languages, bully=flirting, I don’t make the rules.

@Pavel said in Banning Bad, Actually?:

We’re like this close > < to prescribing general behavioural standards, again.

Is it going to be ‘respect the lawyer cat gavel’?
