251: back in my day wank meant something

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

oops in-game titles introduced in nov 2023, ignore the italicized text under jan 2024

also worth noting that any claims that op complained to mods on a player-to-player basis (rather than player to mod) is based on what jade wrote in the post. no evidence of that (as well as jade allegedly planning on eventually reaching out to mods formally) being clearly communicated was provided.

anyway, I discourage anyone waste their time reading the full post. it wasn't worth it
