251: back in my day wank meant something

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.

i'm looking at the rewards page right now and i don't see which of these replies is supposed to be an issue

lmfao same anon i went to check and it looks pretty normal........jade's cronies working overtime so she isn't drop dropped

same here. not seeing what’s the problem.

regardless if you’re not happy with a game (which is totally okay and normal) you drop and make your own if you have so many opinions, you don’t go around talking shit unless you’re a total asshole.

You know where you are right

I do LOL which is fair to say. But ok we wank and poop but to do it on main at everyone in game is extra

This comment is one of the exact things Jade used to say to get everyone riled up against the original mods, complaining about the game being slow, disorganized, and badly managed. None of which were actually true.

jade or one of her bros has been on this thread so hard lmfaoooooo

Well yeah Alisa dropped and deleted within an hour, all their noses are pressed to the screen

all of ours too

couldn't she have picked a better lie?

if she'd stuck to the "the mods were mean to me and my friends behind the scenes" story, that might have maybe been believable, but literally anyone can glance back at the old mod posts and see that the mods were incredibly on top of things

yeah, i have a couple of friends who dropped due to issues with the previous mods. and these are friends i've played with in multiple games where they've never once butted heads with mods or other players so i'm 99% sure they weren't the problem.

the stench of jade is strong here

stop hi x-ing, it's annoying

then stop being so obvious, it's the most annoying.

Go touch some grass instead of obsessively stalking wg threads, Jade and/or Alisa.

lol feeling called out huh

i can't believe three people are this braindead

nah, i've never even been in expi. i expressed interest in it once and those friends advised me against it because of the problems they'd run into with the old mods.

haven't heard anything but positive stuff about the new mods, though. that's why it's weird to me that everyone is trying to make excuses about why they won't go to the mods if these people are really as bad as everyone is claiming they are because from everything i've heard, these mods are actually reasonable.

Because Jade is tight with them, and Alisa by extension. When you know the mods are good friends with the wankers, while they should be impartial for player’s sake, we all know that’s unlikely to happen.

People aren’t willing to end up targeted by Alisa’s unhinged behavior.

fwiw the mods remained friendly and receptive when i messaged them with screenshots. they would've addressed the Alisa issue if she didn't drop so incredibly fast after i posted here

I don’t get this. Mods aren’t AI or corporate trained customer service drones. Unless the mods were really mean or something, sometimes people don’t click. It’s normal. Just because a few people didn’t vibe doesn’t mean Jade’s behavior was right.

i was in the game when it first opened. i ended up dropping because i didn't quite find the way i interpreted the premise lined up with the gameplay, and i didn't really want to wait a few months to find out if it'd still be that way once the advertised premise came into play.

that said, the original mod(s) were - in my experience - reasonable to talk to, receptive, and friendly with the player base. not in all cases, but i've generally found "difficult and uncooperative" is a complaint thrown around when people don't get their own way in a conversation or interaction, which, like... having interacted with some of the people being spoken about here (mostly jade, my interactions with alisa have been minimal), is something i'd level at them rather than the original mods.

+1 the original mods were some of the friendliest mods i'd seen. the accusation that they were disorganized and slow is especially baffling to me because these were mods that conducted polls on what each character did during events so that they could consider each action when writing out event aftermaths.

the only thing i can recall about them that might lead to people describing them as "uncooperative and difficult" is that they were very insistent that special powers only be available in specific circumstances. (though i guess jade specifically might also be miffed that the original communication devices didn't let her character type like a homestuck no matter how she rephrased the question to the mods)

if they were really so difficult, surely it's not difficult to pull up actual instances of them being unfriendly or unfair. the mods were the most public figures in the game, and most of their interactions with the players publicly available.

it's hard to believe any of this when the most we've gotten is a completely normal rewards page that's somehow supposed to be proof the mods hated some of the players that were granted rewards

Given that Jade and Alisa hold grudges like it’s their career, yeah, im not surprised that they or their friends would be billing the original mods as unreasonable and rude because they were told no.
