I'd say no, do not let B in. As a mod, you should protect the current players and make sure your game is a safe environment for them. That's why most games have checks with casts if they're okay with a player/new cast member joining.
That said, it'd also depend on A's behavior. Is A active? Does A play nice with other players? Is A someone you wanna keep around?
Overall, I'd say letting B in would be a very high price to pay for the rest of the players, because it'd make them feel unsafe in your game. Unless they all hate A and want A gone, then that's an opportunity for you.

if the problem wasn't obviously one party's fault over the other, or was super crusty, i'd let them in and just watch the situation. i've successfully avoided cr in much tighter environments than you'll ever find on dreamwidth. it sucks for a, but it sets a bad precedent to start doing this. if a needs assistance in making sure they have no contact with b, mods will step in.

i've actually run in to this a couple times, and a has always been a gigantic tittybaby. the story would be completely different if there were some kind of deets of actual harm being done, but there never has been in the cases i've personally handled. it's always been a calling b abusive because they didn't give them the attention they wanted or a ship didn't work out or they were internet dating and broke up 3 years ago. i'm not going to punish b because a is an infant with a grudge

You're rolling for plot spaces in an event. Characters A, B, C, and D are RNG'd.
You know from past experience that B's player opted out of being tagged by C. Do you reroll either of them? Does it matter what the reason for the opt out was (ex: discomfort with an aspect of the canon/character vs. an issue with C's OOC behavior?)

I'm fairly certain they've been trying to get in touch with Kiss and she is completely unresponsive to them, so it's not that they're not trying to get things back in shape.
And I wouldn't be surprised if they know nothing but the very very basics about what was actually planned for end game so they can't execute it without her there.

looks like caletara was the ringleader then
though from the general tone of it not everyone sounds totally comfortable with the hostile takeover idea

Wait, since when do 'most games have checks with casts'? I have had mods check with me exactly once before letting someone in, and that was years ago when someone was apping a character that was arguably just an older version of mine. No one checks with casts before letting in a new character.
And saying that letting B in would make 'the rest of the players' feel unsafe instead of just making A uncomfortable is projecting a lot on this hypothetical situation. For all you know, B and A just had a falling out over which of their dogs were cuter. Their disagreement doesn't necessarily have any bearing on the rest of the game and their sense of safety.

I didn't mean to start an argument about the merits of Ryslig's mod team. I like Pix and I think considering the size of the game and the playerbase she's doing a great job as a mod, she's just stretched incredibly thin and doesn't have enough time to actually rp. That's saddening as someone who _would_ like to rp with her.
Where has Lynsey been PA? I'm not doubting you I just haven't personally seen it.

so caletara, gen, and kippur.

If it's a roll to see which characters get information or a chance to interact with an NPC or something like that where they may not have to interact with each other, I don't reroll. Assuming that for this event the characters will HAVE to interact:
If B opted out because they're uncomfortable with C's canon/character, I reroll B.
If B opted out because C is a wanker or has personally harassed them, I reroll C.
If B opted out because of an issue they had with C that was neither player's fault, I reroll whichever player was rolled last.

he did talk about dropping the game/taking a break on his plurk before but as i recall there was nothing in the ooc comm about it
pastebin anon: my friend has told me it was murgy and kippur who were the two mods who agreed to post the post and gen wrote it, and their source on that was unsurprisingly gen.
caletara is not a mod and hasn't even volunteered to be a mod.

>since when do 'most games have checks with casts'?
yeah, this. i've NEVER had a mod team check with me about letting someone in, and i've never had anyone contact me about apping in to my cast or as a close canonmate
i've been around since the dark days of embarrassingly ooc lj crack rp, and even i've only contacted one person about apping as their castmate. and that was only because i wanted to know how they felt about my character knowing/possibly spilling the beans on some important spoilers about their character

sa: oops, I was wrong, they have volunteered to mod.
>That's why most games have checks with casts if they're okay with a player/new cast member joining.
i beg your pardon? most games do not have this. if people want to, that's on them, but there's no rule about it and no one gets wanked over not getting approval from preexisting cast members.
and sorry, i know you're trying to mean well, but 'unsafe' is a pretty bad term to use for someone that just doesn't want to play with someone else. they don't like them, they're not hurt by them. wrong term, man.

I contact B to explain the situation, and let them choose whether to participate in this plot alongside C, or be guaranteed a slot in the next one.
I've seen people talking about how they have to be very very careful when apping in OP characters to a multifandom game (such as Saitama from One Punch Man, Lucifer from Supernatural or Bill from Gravity Falls).
HOW does one be careful while playing these characters? Is there a lot of discussion that goes on OOC on plurk? Is there a "compare & contrast" chart for when another OP character has to stop an OP villain or vice versa to see how & who wins?
How much work goes into it? I'm assuming a lot, but I've never rped an OP character or rped with one, so I was just wondering.

(replied to your wrong post with this and it goes here and still applies, more so now that it's not about ship pushing.)

i think this works best. it gives b a chance to play along or not while still giving them a shot at plot in either case. they don't get penalized for not wanting to play with c, but c doesn't get penalized for having someone opt out of playing with them.
i read this entire comment thinking OP meant One Piece
Those also have the bonus factor as the minute you announce endgame, people start looking for new ones and check out mentally.
i can't see something that doesn't exist anon
honestly, unless a game has significant power nerfing going on, i wouldn't app a god-tier character to it. just speaking for myself, but the headache doesn't feel like it's worth finding out if Aizen could beat Goku or whatever.
