Wankgate anons, does anyone with stronger google-fu than me remember this incident that took place several years back?

The incident itself: a Handsome Jack player encouraged the Rhys player sharing a game with them to lock some player plot posts the Rhys player had unlocked in their personal journal. The Rhys player agreed to do it, and then the Handsome Jack player complained to the mods about the fact that the Rhys player had locked those posts and eventually managed to finagle the situation into getting the Rhys player banned?

The game itself had sort of western post-apocalyptic vibes but I cannot for the life of me remember the comm names, just the characters involved.

I remember the handsome jack player logged in on wg or rpa and made a fool of themselves.

Was the game boomtown? I think that was western.

I remember that incident lmfao (is that just a wanky character?). In the case I'm thinking of the Handsome Jack player definitely didn't log in.

'funny asshole' characters seem to appeal to people who want an excuse to be a """""funny""""" asshole in real life

they either don't realize or don't care that this is funny or indeed entertaining for nobody else

its also a classic case of "the failure mode of clever is asshole."

being clever, especially jerk clever, takes a level of skill most of these clowns don't have. and if you fail at clever, you usually land in asshole

i think maybe you're muddling two incidents? a handsome jack logged onto wg after making people in lagunbiru chat uncomfortable after... they and the ygo weevil player, i think, talked about jacking off to threads?
