Please implement something to teach players how to play

Ya it was a pretty bad event. We had the GMs tell us sorry, and ban some people from the forum/and the stalker. It also was proof about how much of a nut job this community has, and it is coming to light more and more with these streamers sadly. Also, my husband was really cute defending me like that.

...You know what, I'm not even surprised you've turned the narrative on this one, but let's be clear: his post was the #gcbtw example.

I don't doubt that they gave harsh words, too; however tactless and seemingly ill-thought an angry post will be it usually has some trigger for that ugliness. But, there's a reason that "cute" post of his -- complete with its sexist slurs, intimidation, and diatribe -- stood out in memory far more than theirs, which were almost entirely civil by comparison even when accounting for implications.

and glad some people still remember it. We should all learn from it. I just find it funny the biggest troll in this thread, dug it up.

If he was able to post that and come out unscathed, then the only lesson to learn from the event would be a somewhat dystopian one. Nor does giving information that might provide an answer to the itching question of "Is this guy at all arguing in good faith, or have our past 30 pages been wasted?" make one a troll.

But, regardless, please do enjoy your experience. I'm sure you're a nice enough individual most of the time, which is about all that can be said of anyone.

If I've come off as being offended by you personally, I apologize; I merely dislike unfairness, and the rules of play you've described -- by which your individual "rights" trump those of your group despite their both equally being individuals and more numerous -- have struck me as painfully unfair. I would hate to see the game ever aim to cater to that sort of unfairness, just as I'd dislike for it to reduce the span of players capable of enjoying the game, at least from among those who historically have enjoyed it.

The person he attacked pretty much called me a S word, and people in that thread when i said I've had a bad time with the community. At the time I did. I was flamed, and I counter back like I do now. During that time in heavenward the CS support was not as good as it is now.

It was very sweet of him and I don't really care it was consider "sexist" when the woman at the time was flaming derailing and acting like I deserve the linkshell stalking me. and my husband is still around is proof that the GMS took his side on it, even though they told him he was in the wrong for getting that upset. They saw the logs, and saw what I was going through and understood why he was upset. That is the only reason we stayed with this game. His post was showing an example of the CS don't do anything to people who harass others. I mean it was a little over the top, the know your place made me roll eyes. But his heart was in the right place. and from what he was told. It help trigger some changes with reports. So more power to him.


I don't take anything people say personal. I just speak my mind, and understand people don't agree with my stance. And I don't hold it against anyone. So don't worry I have no hard feelings, and husband does not as well. We like to debate, and don't mind if people don't agree.
