I've got some old grudges against Lynn that aren't worth airing out here, but I'm glad that I'm not the only person that thought that she was a toxic asshole. If she does app, I plan on telling the mods what she did to me, and I hope enough people will do the same to keep her out.

I kind of want to say 'don't do anything until a complaint/request is brought to you', but with how horrible players can be with actually bringing things to the mods, preemptive can sometimes be better. In which case, I'd do two things. 1- Have a private talk/PM with the old mod saying stuff that you don't appreciate the shit stirring over something you weren't given. Remind them of what was handed off to you, and that if they'd had things they'd wanted to add to it, they could have at any point. Let them know this is a first 'strike', since it can be taken as trying to turn the game against the new modship. 2- make an ooc post that states that while the new mods appreciate the time and effort the old mods put into it, you can only work with what you were given, and with the information that had been passed on, you took a route that is clearly different from how the old mods would have liked. This doesn't make it better or worse, but maybe add that if people have a problem with the current plot or any suggestions, there are places to do that, like the contact page or pming the mods. Don't mention anything about the old mods or any strikes given. If they want to keep trying to stir shit because of their previous attempts and getting called out for it, boot them.

waiting until they fuck up enough to boot isn't alway the best action. maybe let them know they're making it difficult to work with and while it's not an official strike or anything, you would like to see them change their gameplay.

old mods "left game completely", so there's no strikes to be given. A civil private talk with the old mod is still a good idea, I just wouldn't hold any expectations since there's nothing that can be done about old mod if they continue their behavior.

Either go immediately to step two, or simply talk directly with those players that are getting upset, since this sounds like the problem is really just with the players who still are friends with the old mod on plurk.

ugh, i missed that part. and yeah, i think you're right, then.

inb4 "but there have always been people who hated incest ships!" yeah, and those people would express their distaste and move on

You obviously played in a very nice corner of the internet, because people have been stuck on not moving on from something they hate way before tumblr.

Probably also before internet.

symmetra is an autistic woman

since when

why is tumblr's first reaction to a character who had a warped upbringing that left them emotionally stunted (or basically, an explanation for why they're so socially awkward and don't "get" certain things) is that they're autistic? symmetra was taken from her family as a child and was raised by a corporation, i mean, THAT couldn't have anything to do with how she turned out, could it?

that's so disappointing considering how rare it is to find people who actually play from twd.

that's actually even more embarrassing. as an autistic i sure do love being boiled down to a ~socially awkward~ stereotype.

Maybe this is just me but do the mods here stress anyone else out? I've only had them on my plurk for a few months now since I joined, but every time any big game change happens, the steve player spends a lot of time vagueplurking about how upset she is.

"cliquey" and "insular" are bullshit accusations and i automatically raise eyebrows at anyone who uses them in all seriousness, because 99% of the time this boils down to "they're not tagging me, personally, fast enough"

as long as someone's passing ac and they aren't tagging literally one or two other people at the exclusion of everyone else, i don't care what they do and i don't see why this is a big deal at all
