"Vacate Chambers" without Estate Access

[heiligeharmonie]

This was all over my tumblr feed ALL last night and all this morning, and not only as a lover and player of this game, but as a leader of a FC myself, I am absolutely appalled and enraged by this person's behavior. Had I a character on Balmung, you can bet I would have been sitting on the front step with the other protesters. This person has abused a feature that the devs obviously never imaged could be used in such an abusive way, and it is unfortunately up to the devs to make sure no one else can do it again (and as much as I hate to say it, now that it is known that this is possible, there will be other people who will attempt it in the future). Thankfully, being able to lock people out of the house serves absolutely no purpose that other permissions options can't handle (such as preventing furniture theft by restricting furnishing access).

As disappointed as I am in the GMs who handled this situation, I know it does not reflect all the GMs, but I do hope that the GMs will take this as a lesson in how important it is to take your time and listen to the players' problems, particularly when more than one is coming forward with the same problem.
