Best Of

the reason people are reluctant to post is because making the cool kids mad, has and will be bad for them IG see basically the entire History of IRE. going back to IRC chat rooms. At some point understanding that nothing you say, will have any effect on the opinion of the "cool kids", it's like speaking to religious zealots. their faith in their correctness isn't worth the hassle.

trying to point out bad behavior by your friends and I'm speaking broadly because enough of you are tight with them. as being bad yet no one wants to have that conversation. see the Tiur talk with rijetta, callidora ect


Alot of what you people have taken issue with planning things IG on discord I've not seen. I'm in the dominion disco(for now) but I typically try to avoid discord servers because in my experience they all breed toxic.

I understand you see -this- as an issue. but it's a damned if you do damn if you don't. for example as Empress I took a hard nosed stand point and booted people who were openly disrespectful. Who attacked guild leaders as in pvp. and that was seen as -abuse of power- at the time. on the same token the dominion is accused of being to soft for the goals of the admin theme wise. Which is it?

It's miss leading to take screen shots of people venting and then saying actions were planned. engagement with -you- all isn't really worth it to many of the people you openly attack. because no matter the point they raise you will :

o deflect calling it a derail
o call it what about ism
o go full character attack not character but the content of their person...
o over look everything Tetchta did because "valid IC reasons" sure we can call em that
o carnifex attacking, threats to kill any who call out tetchta for trying to divide bloodloch
o the shadow web for weeks dogging dominion members OOC

Mac might be the oldest current IG char to hold the Preanomen class that is still around. making him from an IG stand point go through gr1 tasks, gr2 tasks and gr3 tasks would just be an insult to the history Mac has within the conanguine community. taking a joke on discord, then say -oh this is sus hur hur it's a problem- instead of taking the time to raise the concerns ic (if you did I'm not aware) if you did but didn't like the answer because your world view is it was planned OOC it wasn't. I've joked about getting cured and moving to enorian a few times if or when I do will you attack me for planning it on disco?

The list goes on. so basically we are mad that people are being OOC mad and it bleeding into IC while doing it ourselves? my original point of everyone is guilty after having time to catch up is spot on accurate.

The issue is everyone is trying to get back at those bad people that made them sad/mad mentality. Someone needs to be the first to say thats just about enough. Someone needs to be the bigger person. if I had it my way all OOC disco servers not dealing with mudlet/system support would be closed because they are CANCER across the board. some are just better at hiding their dirty laundry.

The dominion does have an issue, being told by the Admin to "fix it" then getting little to no direction on how. abhorash char logged in refuses to respond to questions IC or OOC. the admin not just coming out and saying what they want.

Lets be honest this all stems from an OOC dislike of callidora, who by all metrics isn't perfect. but neither are any of us.

the problem with muds is and always will be the people who play them

yes I expect to get numerous disagrees, and covering for your bad actors responses. lets just continue ignoring that maybe the things you are raising here are responses to perceived slights perpetrated by your bad actors who I whole heartedly believe acted in bad faith. but I can't slight them for it why? because people in the dominion acted in bad faith too. it's all cyclical.

in closing I still have respect for everyone because taking up for your friends, the show of loyalty there's honor in that. praise in public punish in private. it's time we sit our people down and really talk to em, I've got a list of issues I'll be laying out for Callidora and the rest of dominion leadership. and they can do with it what they will. but I'll do that IG.

As for the hold a grudge train I'm getting off at the next station, I hold no ill will for any of you, happy mudding

I don't want to be dismissive, but if you don't play, and when you do play it's not even in the orgs at issue, and it's also kind of clear that you didn't read the multitude of posts and screenshots leading up to this page, maybe your two cents isn't actually valuable enough to be dropped here. Context matters, experiences matter. It's possible I could have done a better job packing the information for consumption, but I'm not sure you understand the situation well enough to be commenting on it.

It does bother me that more people who have experienced the things I've described (I'm not doing another repeat summary post, I'm sorry) aren't posting here, but I also know that not a small number of them are concerned about tanking their in-game experience over it. I mean, I've already been put on ignore by at least two guild leaders over this post, so I kinda get where they're coming from.

I'd really rather see a reply that isn't some version of "confrontation makes me uncomfortable, therefore it is bad."
