BLUE / WEEFOLK

[(Anonymous)]

okay anons clear it up: is this person actually a problem player or just a bad writer

Re: BLUE / WEEFOLK

[(Anonymous)]

they're both

they're also "that kroker" and "that ten", they are infamous for cosplaying as their characters for job interviews and being painfully socially awkward. their tags are almost unreadable and don't make sense

they're also the kind of player who asks mods stupid obvious questions all the time and need to have the most basic mechanics explained to them

"they are infamous for cosplaying as their characters for job interviews"

Re: BLUE / WEEFOLK

Re: BLUE / WEEFOLK

Yep. As an English teacher...

Re: BLUE / WEEFOLK

[(Anonymous)]

they're a mediocre-to-poor writer and they have limited social skills but they've never been willfully malicious about anything afaik

This is the person who was, for a while, famously known for giving Crocker from Fairly Oddparents an eating disorder headcanon. Simply because the character is skinny.

Take that how you will.

also for making him depressed and suicidal lol

Re: BLUE / WEEFOLK

both - i remember a bunch of deets were dropped when they were banned from apping to deer country early like the other deerington players. whenever they're namedropped the exact same "oh they're innocently harmless, never malicious" is brought up that makes me think that's blue posting here trying to control the narrative lol.

because they've just gotten better at covering their tracks. back when they added me i saw how they'd delete the more egregious things posted on plurk such as complaining about and/or mocking the people that opt out of playing with them, the games that ban them, their insensitive "jokes" and bigotry, ect. so they are self aware sometimes. people have said before that blue's harassed them and there's a reason mods dread seeing them on their game tdms.

it's definitely not blue posting here incognito to defend herself

you'd know if it was because you'd barely be able to read it

Re: BLUE / WEEFOLK

an anon above said this person is an English teacher but their comments are barely readable? what on earth

i was in deerington for some time when she was in the game and i heard that she had done this to at least one person in that game. she would make plurks to complain about people and even tag them in the plurk and then delete it very quickly. i'm not sure why nobody ever thought about getting screencaps but i think there is this attitude around her that she's "harmless" so everyone it happens to thinks they're probably the only person she's targeted and don't want to out themselves.

It's weird that commenters here are talking like she's some active problem to deal with, when she vanished from RP for months because she was injured and in the hospital.

Re: BLUE / WEEFOLK

[(Anonymous)]

OP here: posted this because of the comment about them being banned from every extant game except Labyrinthum. That did make it seem like a current issue, thx for added data.

Re: BLUE / WEEFOLK

[(Anonymous)]

what ayrt said is true but afaik she is back actively rping at lab now. recently saw her on a mutual's plurk encouraging them to join it. don't know how much of a problem she is there. my biggest problem with her when we shared a game was that her tags were sometimes borderline incoherent and i'd drop the thread because i'd have no idea what was meant to be happening

Re: BLUE / WEEFOLK

they prefer the term 'little people'

blue is... well, harmless but also an annoyance? there are players who get so passionate about a single character that it's their entire personality. blue is like that. currently she is very deeply involved with doctor who, as in she has seen everything ever aired, read/listened to every audio book or comic, and can tell you how many times a companion has been seen by the numbers. or can explain to you why the 14…(15+?) doctors are like this or that compared to cheesecake. she has met almost all the living actors for each of the doctors, spent money on signatures and props, and her home is decked out in “who” everything. she does in fact cosplay as 10/14, but also, his costumes were so simple that it's no big deal. her students seem to enjoy her antics. she goes out often with local friends to doctor who events, always dressed up, and posts fun looking pictures. socially awkward but out there.

in other words, she is a super fanatic, of the highest degree. a blackbelt stan, if you well.

she is mostly harmless... depending on who you are and how you handle people with a (possibly self proclaimed, possibly diagnosed?) slight mental illness/disability. she is apparently "on the spectrum" and her hyper focus tends to be on fictional things. she relates her own troubles through the characters she plays. and let's face it, most of us play for escapism, and there are a ton of rpers out there that turn their character depressed, or gay, or with scars, or overly happy, or just... whatever fits their needs. it's rp. it happens.

however.... she can get really fucking annoying over it. she will plurk post 4 to 12 times a day, pinging people for the smallest things. stuff most people post as private plurks, like "soandso ten really adored the flowers!" ... to which no one else has any context. at all. and then a minute later, because she did another tag to someone else... she posts another plurk with a cryptic open to the public reply. it gets really annoying. mix in two or three cryptic doctor who plurks, or a somewhat sweet post about a student who drew a picture of the doctor for her, and it gets really crowded. they have had to be told, many times, especially back with siren's port, mask or menace, high seas, deerington, and a few others that she did not need to "@" a person every single comment they made in her own plurk. she has gotten better about that, but she still plurk floods.

and of course there is the whole english teacher who has a hard time getting... a lot. or how poorly she writes replies. there are no long replies for anyone. she is a very short one or two sentence, no emotion, just convo or text kind of rper, which a lot of the generation of older rpers stepped away from. top it off with it being hard to understand some/most posts, and she makes for a very hard to rp with writing partner. (note: if you contact her asking her to explain a tag because you do not understand, she does try to make it clear? but even then you might be lost)

so while i personally do not have a problem with her, i also do not actually roleplay with her anymore. she can be sweet, and she is very knowledgeable with doctor who, even if her characterization can be lacking. but i wouldn't say she 'bad talks' people, at least not publicly as far as i can tell? it always feels more like soft whining that she doesn't understand why she's banned or why people are mean.

that said, i also might not see all the other things people are seeing. i want to be clear, i do not mean to discredit others' comments with all this. this is just the things i have seen over the last...forever of being on dwrp. i've also gotten really good at ignoring her plurks, so i miss things.

tl:dr - mostly harmless, but has her bad spots. not a good writer even for a english teacher, but honestly she doesn't seem malicious or mean. also i have noticed if she tags you and you ignore it with no comment, she doesn't seem to notice and carried on with life.

best to stay away if you have no patience, but if you don’t mind bad writing and crack? it doesn’t hurt.

as a heads up, i do believe she is playing as 14 (10 on repeat) now on a new journal, but I am unsure which it is.

sa

[(Anonymous)]

oh no, i meant to space that "@ soandso". i didn't realize dwrp had a shortcut now! haha, sorry to that journal, but i am glad its empty.

Re: BLUE / WEEFOLK

[(Anonymous)]

anon, "soft whining" about how people are just so mean and she doesn't understand when people have been explicitly telling her for a decade and a half that she violates boundaries isn't harmless. it's passive-aggressive at best.

Re: BLUE / WEEFOLK

[(Anonymous)]

i had her on my plurk list for a bit

and yeah she complained about other rpers plenty. then deleted the plurks.

would also @ people several times a *day* asking for a tag or a thread, including me. i ended up reporting it to the mods of our shared game because i had so many stupid plurk notif emails over blue asking for tags while i was on vacation and hiatus'd. and yes i told blue to their face to stop and that i would rp again after i got home.

all that did was slow it for like a day or two.

Re: BLUE / WEEFOLK

[(Anonymous)]

so she's a flawed human being in dwrp like everyone else is. got it.
