This is a side tangent but related, when people ask you for OOC information and you say something like "find out IC" they say something to the effect of "but I don't wanna know IC, I wanna know OOC." Like tough shit, then? Then, uh, get used to disappointment? Don't try and guilt people into giving you information they don't wanna give you by doing some sort of weird negotiation after being told no.

If you need to get both sides of the story, do so IC. If you have no reason to do so IC, walk away and let IC RP play out without attempting to influence it in such a transparent way.

For the frequency that this happens, at this point. Names get named.
If I am asked to not post names by the administration I will obviously respect it, but enough OOC messages like this, and you get over it.

Idk if we're allowed to post who the characters are or if that pushes against the rules. But it's been figured out and I'mma say this: this is not appropriate. This is not "feedback." This is, at best, an inappropriate attempt to glean IC information through OOC means, shows poor separation, and is overall just not the kind of behavior our community, one that wants to be a safe and encouraging place for roleplay and overall play, wants. At worst this is a blatant attempt at metagaming and borderline harassment of someone OOC.

Just had to block someone on discord because of this kind of interaction. STOP THIS NOW.

I think part of the problem with this type of behavior is that you are treating the game like an IRL chatroom and not like an rp game. There needs to be a layer of separation. I feel like this mindset has gotten more prevalent the last couple years across IREs that I play.

This is a roleplay game, and honestly playing into people IRL lives over RP and things characters do is ridiculous and immature.

I'll be honest, my post and this one were both originally bait, but it's becoming increasingly clear that there is 0 awareness going on.

I would appreciate it if some people from spirit could take a few moments and reflect on their actions, their arguments, their reasons, and excuses over the past few days (months?) and genuinely consider what it is that is making you all so upset about conflict in Aetolia.

Your discords and webs are about as private as ours. Your public face is not lining up with the ones you wear when you're free to be however you want to be.

It feels as if the only way you can all be happy is if Shadow gives up and quits the game. We can't even lose and admit defeat right without you all complaining about how we didn't do it exactly how you wanted.

Holy Wars are dumb no matter how you try to spin it.
