tired of the mods getting namedrops while we tiptoe around the actual problem: jade. it's jade. the mods can do absolutely nothing right in her eyes. she has spent the entire year complaining to her close cr and friends that she invited in, and then those people are the ones who carry her complaints forward to the mod team, or who repeat them in their plurks.

not to say people can't have their own criticisms or that the game is perfect, but we've all seen before how having little pockets of space for disgruntled venting can turn a few normal problems into a group of players who feel actively angry and persecuted.

jade continually gets rapped on the knuckles publicly by the mods (eg her plot submissions around wanda's powers, her event questions, her plot coin submissions). jade has actively removed mods and canonmates because she wanted to be able to vent about the game without them seeing it. she has grudges against multiple people brought up here. jade has also been bitter about nikolai because he wouldn't ship with her zoya, and complained she can't get traction with the npcs in this game the way he does. a whole lot of this thread feels like jade or people who have been lovebombed by jade into taking her constant discontent as the gospel truth.

why is she getting rapped on the knuckles by the mods?

Re: sa

(Anonymous) 2024-08-25 02:04 pm (UTC)(link)
because she wants wanda to be the main character of the game

(Anonymous) 2024-08-25 02:29 pm (UTC)(link)
She'd actually have to be active for that

(Anonymous) 2024-08-25 02:53 pm (UTC)(link)
clearly not, given the above conversation about nikolai holding so much ic influence

I have no close cr with Nikolai but have threaded with him a couple times without getting dropped or plot gatekept or what have you, and he looks fairly active in game. Are we sure this isn't more weird grudgewank about the player?

i could say the same about jade, meanwhile i've had only negative experiences with eppy. this may just be a case of both players having friends duke it out on anon.

Would be both extremely funny and stupid if neither player has anything to do with any of this shit and it's just their toxic pals arguing over what's ultimately shipping wank.

not sure everyone is tiptoeing around it, i didn’t know about any of this because i have zero cr with jade’s characters and don’t have her on plurk or discord. maybe because my characters aren’t fuckable enough to hers, idk. but if it’s true then yeah, it does explain a lot of the wildly bad faith interpretations on display in this thread.

It still sounds more like a pel grudge wanker or someone who has dropped

(Anonymous) 2024-08-25 06:53 pm (UTC)(link)
pel doesn't have grudgewankers, people just think he's irritating to deal with because he is. he's come up before here and that's all anyone says, but now he's a mod at a game that's been on thin ice with its playerbase for a while so everyone is saying it at the same time.

i'm so glad to see this comment. i don't understand how jade gets away with half the shit she does on plurk and in the game. she has ship pushed multiple people into opting out of her characters and complaining to the mods. if you want evidence you need to do is watch her lovebomb someone in public until they get sick of her or refuse to give her the ship she wants and then she drops them like a hot potato. at this point she's done it with practically every eligible male la character in the game.

pretty sure that the game developers went with this aspect:

In South American folklore, the carbuncle is a small elusive animal containing a mirror, shining gemstone or riches like gold.[4][5] The description of the carbuncle vary, some saying it looks like a firefly in the night, or like having a bivalve-like shell and maize ear shape.[4] According to the Book of Imaginary Beings "nobody ever saw it well enough to know whether it was a bird or a mammal, whether it had feathers or fur."[5] A Chilean man known as Gaspar Huerta is said to have encountered a carbuncle while digging an irrigation canal, but reportedly he could not see what its shape was because he killed it on the spot to recover its riches.[4] In Chilote mythology it is variously described as green-red shining animal such as a dog, cat, bivalve or simply a flame that is the "guardian of the metals".[4][6]

which is why it's a red-gemmed little cat fox creature. very meta for final fantasy.

ngl i raised an eyebrow at the weirdly hostile and accusatory tone she took with some of her inquiries toward the mods. it did make me wonder if she's one of the people grudging hard here

tbh it makes me wonder if it's the same person who goes uses jade as an alias on another server that drove many people away from rp
