they do, plus a lot of people notoriously tdm in places they never plan to app to voice test or just for a good time. so there's nothing wrong with allowing people to tdm, as long as the expectations are clear.

i just don't see what's in it for shari, since if only people she knows can join anyway, having to mod over (take tdm and app questions) randos who will never be allowed in seems a bit inefficient. but maybe she doesn't care or knows her existing playerbase is so slow, the only way for newbies to get a decent taste of things on the test drive is to have strangers participate.

half the characters on memes all read the same even when they're supposed to be different characters from different canons, anon. what makes this one particularly offensive?

only on wankgate could you post a mild opinion like "sometimes it's fun to write and rp no matter where it is" and get anons arguing with it

the posters here really are getting more sensitive as the years go by, huh

I guess they're afraid of being called problematic on twitter?

from the sounds of it in that article it wasn't their decision. probably some executive worried about offending the crowd that still thinks the harry potter books promote satanism

it would be nice to continue if it works out, but not continuing doesn't negate the fun i had doing the initial thread. also continuing can look like a lot of different things to me. it doesn't have to be in that exact game with that exact setting.

this makes perfect sense to me, even though i still think it's stupid to replurk a tdm for a game to your friends who can't join it

we can't pretend youngsters aren't becoming these people lbr

true but kids on twitter are rarely in charge of multi million dollar video game franchises

sa

wait i just got what you actually said. i shouldn't wankgate so early in the morning fml

in reply to your actual point: yes. there are kids on twitter already frothing over the idea of it being related to "blood libel"

"numbnuts".........................................

How you know that nobody in this thread is actually in saltburnt: there's an activity reward allowing players an invite. Plus Shari has proven willing to plurk add (and thus invite) new people her friends are excited about.

never really played a blood mage before anyway so this is whatever

blood libel isn't a satanism thing it's an antisemitic trope

the kids are still stupid either way though

Jade can be aggressive in the way she types, but from what I've known of her all this time she's just very enthusiastic about shipping too and that's why she and alisa get along so well because they're both ride or die when it comes to shipping.

Alisa is one of those people who you'd probably enjoy hanging around with if you like the same things as she does because she will make you feel really special and give you all the attention. If she isn't interested in you, she just drops you but is still civil. If she wants to ship with you and you don't want to give it, that's when she becomes a huge problem. I don't know about others, but I avoid Jade just because I don't want to get Alisa's ire since she can definitely hold a grudge and attack you for daring to get in the way of her shipping.

anon you weren't supposed to tell wg that (stuff they can find on public game pages)

then unfollow your friend's replurks or block the mod plurk which is what the rest of us do for games we won't join

you can start ignoring wankgate comments first actually

I don't really agree with the fact that deer country closing was entirely about milk. drama hit the fan around the same they stepped down which saw a large exodus in the game. Simcha did bring a breath of fresh air into the game when she stepped up as head mod, but within a few months she was hardly around because of irl priorities. You could tell months before that something was up when the games new metaplot abruptly ended just as it started to roll.

Simcha wanted to close the game and let it end on a high note but no one could accept that and everyone started showing their assholes.

The game slowly died a death of a thousand cuts and it was embarrassing to watch.

sounds legit, but from what the thread is saying, it's a bit worse than "aggressive typing"... bullying is a more hardcore allegation and clearly they're the dream team when it comes to that.

leading a campaign in DMs to fuck up the old mods and bullying players out of game through their team-up isn't cute behavior.

Jade bullies people by talking smack about them in DMs. She acts all innocent "poor me, I'm Jade," but truth is, she can't handle not getting her way and is smart enough to keep toxic crap on the dl. She keeps on bullying and harassing until she gets what she wants. It's no surprise folks are scared to speak out, especially cause she's tight with the mods. That's how she gets away with all this crap.

you know, whenever someone screeches about the 'twitter mobs,' i usually dismiss it out of hand and think that it's just some right wing nutjob being mad about being ratioed after a bad hot take or something

but then shit i read like this and think that maybe they have a point

to me it's more the idea that it's 'too evil'

bioware was a game company that basically pioneered the option to have an evil route in video games going back all the way to the KOTOR series, and made romance options in rpgs popular. then they started moralizing in their games. i guess it was only a matter of time before they got rid of the 'evil option' altogether.
