drug abuse is a trigger for many people. that's a given (and ooc in this case). we're waiting for alisa/jade deets though, agreed.

[(Anonymous)]

ok i will wait for something that isn't "oh no the anime character whose trope is a suicide quirk is quirky about suicide" and the player's drug kink

[(Anonymous)]

Ok, anon. I'll check back here at the end of the day since you're so sure it's coming. If there are still no deets, then this entire "bully" claim is fake.

[(Anonymous)]

idk if it's fake since so many ppl are saying it but it sure is slow

[(Anonymous)]

And I can say a married player is cheating on them with their rp partner and then reply to myself over and over again to put up the illusion it's more than just one person.

Just because so many people say shit, doesn't always mean it's happening 100%. Hence, deets. So again, I will continue to wait but if there's still nothing by tomorrow, this is just chickens clucking.

yall don't get paid enough to defend jade actually it should be a per word comp

[(Anonymous)]

Da.

Jade is the current fun dispenser and cock-giver so Alisa treats her well. It doesn’t mean Jade is also on Alisa’s level, necessarily (cannot confirm or deny as I have no deets on Jade).

I expect this happy duo will end when Jade finds someone else she enjoys tagging more than Alisa and Alisa becomes rabidly unhinged at Jade and the new person. That’s Alisa’s MO.

I don't give a shit about jade, I just want deets if you're going to make claims. I want something good to actually read when I'm flatviewing.

can we get the actual deets on jade... alisa too actually. so far it's bullying accusations and it's giving mean girls, but deets would be awesome.

[(Anonymous)]

Jade wasn’t the main interest point here. Alisa’s the one who has been causing problems. It sounds like someone has beef with Jade enough to namedrop and plenty of people don’t enjoy her character interpretation but I don’t expect deets beyond that.

Could be wrong, though! Now’s the time to speak y’all.

Deets are going to be hard to come by because of Jade's MO. She's a mean girl and a bully, and covers her tracks well. She will test the waters by trying to be fake casual and then go all in if she sees an opening. In the past she has iced out players who she doesn't like, and shit-talked the original mod of expiation to everyone around. However, since she does this one-on-one anyone who drops caps is at risk of her unhinged behavior.

Alisa was banned from one game for player harassment. In previous games she was notorious for this and I know several players who brought these issues to the mods and were told to suck it up, more or less. She can be perfectly normal but once she’s shipping with someone, her behavior escalates. Timing people’s tags, policing who they tag, getting angry at anyone “stepping in” on her ships, throwing people who politely decline a ship under the grudge tractor, insane ex-GF blowing up of discord…

It’s difficult to share caps without throwing people who didn’t deserve the harassment under the bus. Which is precisely why she’s flown under the radar for so long.

She’s no firebenderjess. You could even tag her without shipping and be okay … but she’d drop you anyway because she only cares about ships. Ultimately not worth the headache to engage.

As for Jade, Alisa’s current shiny. That’s all I know.

[(Anonymous)]

yikes... ok that's definitely kind of scary, definitely no need to provide caps bc that kind of crazy shit can pull good people into unnecessary drama. one to avoid.

yea, all alisa's bad behavior is from one-on-one stuff, so it's difficult to share deets without immediately outing yourself. it's also almost all ship-related, so most players will probably have the impression that she's totally harmless, just slow and flaky.

a big factor too is because she gives off such otherwise friendly and enthusiastic energy, she has a lot of friends who are very ride-or-die with her. so once she's turned on someone, she expects all her friends to follow suit and ice that person out.

which is pretty normal toxic friend group behavior, but it does complicate matters and is probably why people haven't brought her up before, since they can't provide proof without outing themselves.

alisa sounds pretty toxic, but why does jade keep coming up? it seems that when a name is the common denominator, they might be the real issue. or a mean girl squad honestly. curious if there's anyone else affected by those two...

[(Anonymous)]

the way things went down with the original head mod never sat right with me

i hope they're doing ok

[(Anonymous)]

what happened? again... i hope their grudge gossiping didn't cause any serious issues for the previous mod and if they did then i hope no one write with those two ever again.

[(Anonymous)]

why on earth would anyone want to do this. what do they get out of it. why bother with text based rp at all

publicly? there was some sort of disagreement on expiation's pacing and overall direction. the game was fairly slow-paced at the time, but note that it was also always billed as a game with bimonthly events

after one event, jade and a few other players got frustrated and left feedback that there was too little for the characters to do and that they didn't feel that the event reflected the premise of the game. (for context, expiation's premise was that characters were accused of a crime and sent to expiation to await their sentencing. the first event involved dealing with a food shortage in the town, with characters dividing up into different groups to try to solve the issue their own way. there were people who stole food from the neighboring town, some who tried to hunt for their own food, etc.)

the head mod responded that they wanted more time to build up to the themes of the game and that the initial months were meant to help the characters get settled, asking for more patience, but added that they would consider changing the event format to better accommodate the playerbase. a sotg went up subsequently, then another event that was a bit meatier, so it seemed like everything was fine.

then the mod put up an announcement for people to be kind to each other and emphasized that no harassment or bullying would be tolerated, stepping down and leaving the game entirely shortly after. i am not privy to what exactly transpired, and i think only the parties involved would be, but the whole thing seemed very off given how much effort the mod put into the game up to that point and how they were always stressing how grateful they felt to the players who gave the game a chance. the identities of the other mods who were helping the head mod were never made public as far as i'm aware, but they also did not stick around. what resulted was a complete mod changeover, with big overhauls to the game as a result

it was alarming at the time, and i recall a lot of people being worried for the head mod. talking shit about them behind their back to other players is a really shitty move on jade's part

twitter is just dedicated to boosting shit that will make you angry and it's gotten worse since muskrat took over

[(Anonymous)]

plurks deleted too it seems

[(Anonymous)]

it's f-list, they were probably jerking off to the other player's writing and using AI so they wouldn't need to put in effort.

[(Anonymous)]

Wonder if there was something they didn't want binned

[(Anonymous)]

Likely. People don’t usually immediately drop and delete their Plurk if they’re innocent of what gets mentioned here.

i’ll be fair here. as someone who used to be in game and left, the former mods weren’t amiable. a lot of players had issues with how they were treated and spoken to. if you look through former rewards pages for example you can see how curt and charged some of those interactions were. i understand where you’re coming from but there’s more nuance here than you think and a lot of people were driven away by the former mods’ behavior for a reason. they were difficult and uncooperative at worst.
