summary? because I'm not reading all of that

Re: RUBIKYKSKOYE

[(Anonymous)]

me before clicking the link: damn man just fucking read it

me after: ok yeah i ain't reading all that. happy for u tho. or sorry that happened

Re: RUBIKYKSKOYE

[(Anonymous)]

I've tried to keep this as concise as possible
first stupid thing, I'm loving this already. I'll provide a dumbass summary. I don't know anything about this game, the mods, or the player. I'm just greasing my hands with popcorn and wish to share

op aka peaked is a player named jade who plays wanda (mcu) & zoya (grishaverse)

namedrops: Tifa, Mal, and Prox
• why: mods used their power to intimidate and sought feedback they felt entitled to. assigned blame for others' feelings and attacked op's character. op also believes mods were stonewalling and alienating from their CR

november 2023
in-game titles introduced
• op felt rubi was turning into a faction game, complained to Mal as a friend with concerns about favoritism, halting progression, and game balance being affected
• noticed negative consequences for wanda while other players' (including a mod) characters received softer consequences. believed the change would discourage players who were already not gaining

• rubimods pm'd op to invite an open discussion, which op didn't appreciate since mal took the complaint to speak for op without permission
• op replied, noted bad experiences with discouragement at a prev faction game, asked for clarification on recent wanda punishment*
• mod said rubi isn't a faction game, characters and players aren't in a competition, and wanda's fallout is all done-zo
• op thanked for clarifying in pm screenshot, but left a note in the post itself that rubi p much became a faction game in march 2024

• op wanted to go to the mods about new titles eventually but took too long

*wanda punishment
taking it back to oct 2023 for a sec
context: Back in October, I held the game's first player plot, Wandaween. (...) the surprise consequence that was dropped on me for Wandaween: Wanda had killed NPCs by holding the townspeople outside of the town via a magical barrier.

[op posted screenshot of plotting with mods where no consequences were mentioned]

• there was no follow up on consequences
• op received a mod pm oct 30th stating wanda will have to stand trial for displacing townspeople and spooking the town
• op went to plotting page nov 4 to follow up on consequences, still wasn't told wanda will be responsible for npc deaths

• op finally found out about npc deaths icly in a thread between wanda and an npc
• op rolled with it, just wanted to move on

january 2024
in-game titles introduced
• op used their plurk to bitch about a player plot [the slender plot, with proxy subplot if I'm inderstanding correctly]
• op told a mod as a player they weren't interested in the direction of their potential thread
• op wrote this in the post: I think favouritism came into play, and the mods wanted to control me.

[the provided screenshot of an ass kissing thread for the slender plot is blurred out other than two comment timestamps, one from op]

• op received a two-part mod pm 13 minutes after commenting in the compliment thread
• mods said there were complaints against op regarding slender plot and op not knowing how to plot with wanda's powers without interfering with other players; implied op's ooc knowledge was spilling into ic knowledge for wanda which shifted the intended tone of the plot; and noted op's apparent crappy communication throughout the pm

• op seems to express doubt in the post about the claim that multiple players complained
• op did not respond to mods via pm and instead uses the post to respond I guess, I didn't read it

[screenshot of mod checking in 1 week later to confirm op received their last two-part message]

op says this in the post: I have refused to go to their screened mod contact post after January 2024 and chose to keep everything public because of how uncomfortable their treatment and lack of accountability in PMs made me. I personally believe they were looking for a reason to ban me, so I refused to give them one.

I stopped reading here. this got so lame lmao

"I originally wrote this draft on 24 January 2024 and completed it in August 2024."

i'm not reading the rest of this but shit like this is why more people should listen to anons when they tell them to just drop the game.

bitch you spent 8 months writing an entire burn book on these mods, why the fuck were you still in this shitty game? talk about a waste of time better spent touching grass or doing anything else loooool

Re: RUBIKYKSKOYE

She mentions several times that she should have dropped earlier though and acknowledged that error in not doing it

Re: RUBIKYKSKOYE

[(Anonymous)]

So in other words Jade got mad her attempts to shitstir on anon led to people deciding both sides needed to improve on things like adults so now she’s just going to put all her mutuals in an awkward position with exchanges that could easily be edited to cut out her behavior because she can’t just leave the game it has to be ruined because she wasn’t the main character

Re: RUBIKYKSKOYE

[(Anonymous)]

it makes me fucking laugh because all that word vomit is when you can tell it is mal writing it. "obfuscate" and all that shit? mods, your messages don't need to be a scrabble competition. the pretentiousness is ridiculous. and i know you go here and just love bitching about people behind their backs.

i am glad they're all in their own contained place because everyone there sucks, mods included.

Re: RUBIKYKSKOYE

[(Anonymous)]

Soooo she's salty and decided it was favoritism that another player's plot went better than hers, and that means she was bullied. Ok then.

Re: RUBIKYKSKOYE

[(Anonymous)]

Ok I had to stop reading at the part she got offended (?) annoyed (?) by the fact that she bitched about game mechanics to a mod and the mod actually did something about it? If I'm reading this right? Like I'm sorry, you can be friends with mods of games but like don't be surprised Pikachu when you bitch at them about their game and they do something about it???

Re: RUBIKYKSKOYE

[(Anonymous)]

damn so it's fucking true. as soon as jade got called out all the weird baseless/gross misinterpretation bitching about the game* ground to a halt. who wants to bet that'll be the case again?

*i aint saying nobody has valid complaints bc lol that's not true. i'm here to complain too. but there was one particular anon who just went around lying about what game events entailed in a way that was pretty clear they either had an axe to grind or had the reading comprehension of a walnut

Re: RUBIKYKSKOYE

[(Anonymous)]

the rubi mods suck, we all know this, but this isn't the first time jade's had problems

no-one here looks good

Re: RUBIKYKSKOYE

[(Anonymous)]

i read it

sorry that happened to you but it's not a big deal

Re: RUBIKYKSKOYE

[(Anonymous)]

the mods suddenly tacking on character consequences that they didn't at any time warn jade about is a terrible look, but a lot of the rest of this feels too petty to care about

Re: RUBIKYKSKOYE

[(Anonymous)]

esh

jade probably should have dropped way earlier (i would have after getting the first pm lecturing me on how to rp better)
the mods seem difficult to deal with and high on their own farts

Re: RUBIKYKSKOYE

[(Anonymous)]

jesus that's long and whiny.

admittedly i skimmed a bunch because it's just so fucking much, but most of it sounds to me like throwing a huge temper tantrum that people were trying to work with her while not being able to perfectly read her mind and interpret her intent. zero opinions from me on mod conduct because i can't actually discern from any of that nonsense how the mods actually acted apart from not doing exactly what whiny here wanted them to do in the exact way she wanted them to do it.

fyi this is the same jade from this old wank (tldr she stole an app and copied it to get into a different game):

https://wankgate.dreamwidth.org/22872.html?thread=76374872#cmt76374872

this is how long she has been feuding with tifa and she still joined her game and expected something different to happen

Re: RUBIKYKSKOYE

jesus christ i don't have even remotely anywhere near enough popcorn for this wank

Re: RUBIKYKSKOYE

[(Anonymous)]

Sweet, thanks, anon. I've been a useless piece of shit all day long. I am just not feeling it today. This will give me something non-productive to do.

Re: RUBIKYKSKOYE

[(Anonymous)]

the stripped down and chronological version because i also am a useless piece of shit:

1. planning wandaween (sept/oct)
https://boofhead.dreamwidth.org/file/11481.png

2. pm about wanda's trial (early nov)
https://boofhead.dreamwidth.org/file/12994.png

3. planning consequences (early nov)
https://boofhead.dreamwidth.org/file/5912.png

4. NPC post (late nov, not linking because it's technically a locked dw post) informing Jade IC and OOC that NPCs died

5. Jade talks to Mal about frustration about IC titles and becoming a faction game around this time.

6. The November mod PMs referencing a tough time:

https://boofhead.dreamwidth.org/file/11235.png
https://boofhead.dreamwidth.org/file/2035.png
https://boofhead.dreamwidth.org/file/503.png

7. Koke's January plot, Jade complains on her plurk about the plot and declines to thread something out with a mod:
https://boofhead.dreamwidth.org/file/14901.png

8. The January PMs
https://boofhead.dreamwidth.org/file/1210.png
https://boofhead.dreamwidth.org/file/857.png

9. I think this is when Jade started feeling particularly iced out by the Shadow & Bone cast/Tifa/Mal?? Tifa nukes CR with her characters officially in Feb

There's some other stuff about feeling iced out about plot engagement and feeling but idc about that and she already put them in chronological order so you can look at them if you want, the mod responses seem PA in the plotting post but so do all the mod responses to me

was this meltdown prompted by this wankgate comment? if so let's keep in mind she definitely goes here.

Re: RUBIKYKSKOYE

[(Anonymous)]

something that stuck out to me was her rant about player NPCs because it seemed out of place and more about a specific player than just the player npc management

I had her create her smithy as I felt uncomfortable by player-driven developments in this NPC setting that were not communicated to me. I was uncomfortable that an NPC I had no involvement in creating (and had created, but was not asked if I had created to fill the position of Head Blacksmith, despite being the only player character who stayed consistently under the blacksmith heading) and was thus under the full control of that player had an opinion on my character. (How much of that NPC's opinion was the player's when the mods made it blatantly clear that player-driven NPCs were under the control of the player who created them?)

And then when you look who created the head blacksmith npc, it turns out it's Eppy/Nikolai's player, so there really does seem like there's been cast issues forever now

don't go here and will never go here but i always marvel at how some people can actually sit down meticulously screenshotting and sorting salty peanuts into semantic clusters for literal months and months like this

like how the fuck do they have the energy for this. where can i obtain this kind of power. i'd be using it for so many things that aren't lukewarm whining tldr callout posts gdi

Re: RUBIKYKSKOYE

[(Anonymous)]

of all the stuff in here, pointing to the fact that a mod chose "kill" for their character in response to an IC fuck/marry/kill game as evidence of bullying is really wild
