da here, it was technically optional but it wasn't handled well. the mods did warn heavily for a surprise consequence that would involve body horror if characters chose to have sex with the game's main NPC. the problem was that there was no mention of pregnancy or eggs in that CW. a good handful of players have pregnancy on their hard no list

a lot of people complained once the consequences were revealed and the mods apologized. the mods were responsive to crit afaik

what i did think was strange is that there's a noncon/dubcon heavy event coming up that some players are concerned about, and in the mod plurk, they said: "We're always willing to explicitly spoil things privately for anyone who reaches out with concerns that a CW treads close to a personal trigger. So if something feels vague to you, and you're not sure how to respond, please just hit us up on mod contact or in DM and we'll talk it through with you. There's no reason to sit there in uncertainty and stress about it when you can just ask for more information because it's adjacent to something that upsets you!"

a great policy but that has not "always" been the case as players did publicly ask for more information on the pregnancy adjacent themes as that was unfolding and they were turned away to avoid spoilers

this reminds me of an old game where the mods thought it was a good idea to noncon everyone in-game because their character's pet dragon let out a horny screech

i agree, that definitely hasn't always been the case. pregnancy is a severe trigger for me and i had my suspicions about the "body horror surprise", but was turned away when i repeatedly tried asking for more information. when transparency was most crucial for me personally, the mods proved themselves to be untrustworthy, so i dropped. no rp is worth risking my mental health for.

Er isn’t it generally considered very dumb to drop info that can connect you with shit talking on wg

Re: da

[(Anonymous)]

it's generally considered very dumb for mods not to give transparency to their players who might have triggers for certain plot points

hth

...also is it really 'shit talking' if the former player is giving us factual evidence that the mods are shit

Re: da

[(Anonymous)]

and that totally justifies harassing someone. victim blaming is always a good look.

do you even hear yourself? the brain rot is real.

Uhhh I’m just commenting in passing, calm down Cujo

backpedal harder. moron.

[(Anonymous)]

my comment was meant to say nobody dropped who fit the bill of the anon above

the anon is just trying to rile you all up

[(Anonymous)]

that's how I read it

because the other way would make it unhinged. but I can see how people got there

[(Anonymous)]

Tbh every defensive comment you make here just further proves how legit that anon's experience and criticism is.

Re: da

[(Anonymous)]

Lol feeling called out, aren't you.

Re: da

What a weird threat to make over someone stating their experience in a game of mods not always behaving consistently.

Re: da

[(Anonymous)]

Anon dropped because your incompetence posed a real risk to their mental health, now you're making thinly veiled harassment threats? Jfc this mod team is a fucking joke.

Re: da

[(Anonymous)]

you're out here advocating that people drop if they don't like the mods but also calling the people who drop shit stirring

[(Anonymous)]

this is respectfully phrased, reasonable, and actionable criticism that is speaking about an unfortunate experience in an honestly pretty restrained way.

reacting like it constitutes some kind of nasty rumor-mongering worthy of being outed and shamed for sharing it…
not a good look for you, anon.

Re: nayrt

[(Anonymous)]

none of you are actually in the game, huh

you'd know nobody who's dropped in the last 3 months has acted like the anon above

Re: nayrt

[(Anonymous)]

Don't you have a playerbase to go bully and harass?

Re: nayrt

[(Anonymous)]

lol seriously. this is how you know it's legitimate criticism, the mods are frothing and desperately trying to cover their asses.

Re: nayrt

my vote is on the bad mod practices meets wanky angry weirdo combo platter

people forget everyone can be a shit

Re: da

[(Anonymous)]

nice to know this game is run by a bunch of fucking bullies

Re: da

[(Anonymous)]

If not run, at least played in by a bunch of overly defensive bullies which can be just as miserable of an experience

Re: da

[(Anonymous)]

yeah i definitely don't regret dropping.
