It feels like more a false stereotype of fantasy settings used to justify idle hands than anything else, if I'm being honest. The good guys can always go out and make sure their protectorates have what they need, they can always try to indoctrinate …

Not only should people be willing to QQ if they're willing to be this toxic/vitriolic over game conflict, but they should also be willing to quit their orgs to preserve their play experience if they can't function within a conflict-based g…

While I commend the idea of thinking of everyone, I also want to push back against this idea. This thinking, in my opinion, is part of how we got where Aetolia is today, where orgs are intensely diluted versions of their past selves…
The reason for making them the same is so that they're future-proofed, making it easier to make changes to both the base class and the mirror without needing to account for things like what you're suggesting. They're intended to be thematically diff…
Mildly annoyed that I engaged with a character and started the cure for them only for them to log out immediately after I started, and I haven't seen them since.
I'm honestly tired of being accused of being "guilty" for something that cannot be defined and now being accused of this stemming from an OOC hatred of Callidora. The only thing I'm "guilty" of is caring about the player experience and being transpa…
The Aetolian community's insistence on "handling things privately". Not only does it embolden toxic behaviour, it allows abusive people to control the narrative and flourish and thrive within the community.
The thread has been pretty well burnt by bad faith actors at this point, so I feel a need to add that it's telling to me that no one posting these derails/attacks (or quietly reacting positively to said derails/attacks) will actually address any of …

We're very outspoken people with our finger on the pulse of Shadow's intrinsic issues and willing to call them out. Like the Teradrim, this thread touches on something that has been an ongoing and unspoken (except through the grapevine) is…

Re: the meeting with Iosyne: that was not only under a different producer who was extremely conflict averse (and not doing their job), but it had specifically been handed off to a volunteer. I don't want to say whether Iosyne was equipped …

I don't particularly want to take the bait and feed into what is honestly an attempt at a derail, but trying to "both sides" an actual problem while ignoring all the evidence on the table is a very poor look.
This thread was brought about because the same screenshot Nhahlar posted made its way into my view, along with a few others from those same Dominion players blaming their inability to PK on /me/.
I realize that while I've made a general statement, I've not shared my own experiences with the Dominion (whose leadership is largely unchanged from that period). This list is by no means exhaustive or in any particular order. I'll be referring to t…
I could be wrong, but I believe it's been suggested to them as a possible option. There is a strange sense of entitlement among them, however, which rears its head whenever their control of the org is "threatened" (see: the lead up to the Thronekeep…
This has been a recurring problem for at least four years, with several mass exoduses to show for it. It's also an issue that both players and administration keep attempting to solve IC through RP, and I don't believe it's going to ultimately change…
Alts (or even long-dormant mains) getting revived during a period of intense org drama and only existing to further and/or sustain said drama, make trouble for others, and try to get others in trouble.
I love returning to Iazamat and helping win a war. Props to all of Bloodloch (except @Bulrok) for all the fun over the last few days. Y'all know who you are.

I'm not convinced a whole lot of that is actually happening, but regardless it's a difficult distinction to make because, for instance, I agree with people I agree with, regardless of if they're my friends or not. I'm not going to stop agr…
Are we really going to defend 15+ people ganging up on an order of 3 to 5 people? Especially after the side eye Ivoln's order (5 people, give or take?) got for declaring war on Dhar when they didn't know he didn't have an order anymore? Seriously? H…

Because you're making a lot of assumptions and are seemingly refusing to acknowledge that stopping us from doing the mechanic that we've been handed is easier than actually doing the mechanic, which requires us to split up to do in any tim…
