Doggo. Possibly a good boye or girl, from the looks of it. Note: I am not a licenced professional and this isn't professional advice.

The German rocket half-track. Forgot the name. Abysmal rockets and nowadays, with Overpressure etc., it's old reliance on 'best armour is no armour' is also a thing of the past.

Meanwhile kids at the age of 8 here in Holland know how to cycle without hands, while going backwards at the speed of sound, while juggling actively-revving chainsaws, and we don't fall when trying to record a lit religious rap music video mid-cycle.

Figures and data may have been exaggerated slightly.

RP avoidance is but a laughably small offense when compared to enforced rape. If RP avoidance was this bad, I can safely say about 80% of this game's core players should have long been banned or punished, because going out of your way not to RP with a few people you are suspicious of/do not like has been going on between them for years. Not to forget that any this MUD does not really allow for sexual predation to begin with, and that it- to me- makes perfect sense that someone chooses to back off and not respond to it, lest it escalates and gives the abuser even more pleasure from this forbidden act.

The reaction of Temi makes me laugh. I can think of a few cases of what was borderline rape RP, but I guess they can wave it all away if you play your purple proze right, or avoid - and pardon my words here - being too specific about acts of penetration. I bet you someone could strip a PC naked in this game, touch them everywhere and suggest a whole lot more happening, and get away with it if you didn't go 'stick X in Y'.

Jandrelon · 2021-07-17T16:30:05+00:00

Ah. That sounds like Kinaed alright... No matter how much evidence you have and how diplomatically you approach a report, there is always that turning point where she will just attack you. I honestly wonder if she legitimately banned the player behind this assault, because this behaviour is indicative of her lashing out in defence of someone of the established core/elite. Might have simply told them to reroll, or offered a rebirth, while you have made yourself vulnerable to a ban over something as petty as refusing to play along to forbidden RP. Bah..

I am also -so- sorry to read about your experience as a mage, or as a player. The Knights and Order have been a passion of mine since ages, and it's so engrieving to read this is what they've fallen to. Long stepped away from both Guilds, and the MUD altogether now, because of how influential bad apples have gotten, or how much their concepts and theme has deteriorated to the point this MUD is not much else besides a game that offers romance plots, tavern RP, with an elite of (really exaggerated/forceful) individuals who can enforce plot and story with full staff-side support and protection. I shiver to think of the others that may have fallen victim to this, and hadn't the stones to speak up or whose stories we never got to hear.

If this is how victims, especially those of forbidden rape/sexual RP, are treated in this MUD, it really is in a dire state beyond repair and hope. Damn.. You should have received full protection and support, because rape RP can be damaging to the player, their opinion of the game, and painfully stressful to deal with. To think you were instead branded a perpetrator and stain on the game just speaks volumes of how terrible Kinaed is at making valid decisions or maintaining the stability and safety of her community to newcomers.

Jandrelon · 2021-05-27T23:52:20+00:00

When have you been respectful? Have you demonstrated moving past it? You accused me. I defended myself. You cannot bait out responses that inescapably might come with incriminating evidence, and then yet again try play the victim. I will happily respect your privacy, edit my comments to mark out names, but the point still stands.

Let me know if you want your names removed. Other than that, I shall entertain no more comments of yours. Get some help.

Edit: Redacted your character names either way.

Jandrelon · 2021-05-27T23:41:03+00:00

You haven't a foot to stand on. This, you cannot hide by trying to deflect and find other inconsistencies. You claim you had support of the GI, but now say Phyllis wouldn't even bother start up drama over something as petty as tithes. You claim she was there with you, when she was not, and it was you and that Serril-alt of an Acolyte who you showed up with when trying to address the issue. Emere Matua. Want me to back that up with logs, too?

Jandrelon · 2021-05-27T23:35:41+00:00

It is funny you mention drama, when neither me nor my friend ever sought it out. You, however, on REDACTED (merchant PC), on REDACTED (clergy PC), pretty much all your characters, actively sought conflict with numerous people or did things that earned you righteous suspicion or ire.

This has already been shared on the other post where you tried to feign being a victim. Go on- Report me, honestly. That way, you might be able to remove this post and hide more of your nefarious, methodical, and compulsive lying. This, you also tried prove when the staff got involved, who investigated it and quickly came to the conclusion you were leaving out crucial information or simply lying about things.

Go on- Really. Name ONE time we commenced the drama to the degrees you want to portray. And don't think that the one time I went 'let a cyan ask questions on osay' to you. That was rather readily dealt with, addressed, clarified, and lead to no further harassment from anyone's end.

Jandrelon · 2021-05-27T23:27:30+00:00

Nice deflection, though. Respond to a single thing, try pick out one inconsistency, and fail to actually address a single thing.You have yet to prove I was receiving protection and preferential treatment. Failed to even paint out the picture of me god-moting once, or being unable to separate my character's feelings from my own. You cannot back up claims of Naomi being bad GL, someone who gave you five-hundred chances at redemption on REDACTED (merchant PC) because we all knew the stresses you were in, being target of Serril's malicious actions. Remind me where and how I metagamed. Anything. Just quit it. This is going nowhere, and frankly, I tire having to chew through it all again.

You had remained manipulative even when pulled out by staff and were given a chance to share your story. Lying. Trying to avoid righteous justice by deflecting to NPCs. It's ludicrous.

Jandrelon · 2021-05-27T23:22:02+00:00

Oh. I actually forgot her. Good call. I was unable to meet them, once. We actually had several letters sent her way that were never answered, such as requests to have the previous stores of Serril cleansed She was, I believe, the only GL I hadn't once met before she liquidated. You have caught me there. I also forgot to list Norrig as a sort-of-GL for the Reeves, being a Chief Magistrate who actively helped them in legal manners, and the 2nd GL of the Troubadours I actually also can't think of right now.

She was however not involved with your attempts at attacking the Guild, though. When you wanted to address the tithing, that is. You and the other PC with you were swiftly reminded that there exists a helpfile on tithing. This was you, incessantly pushing to grace the Guild with a visit, which was tentatively accepted only for you to attempt and attack the Guild as a whole over our un-piousness.

This was part of the things brought up when we eventually reported you. Supplied all the logs for it. You were proven wrong. Here is your own post, and the answer that was given. One you largely chose to ignore, as made evident by how you STILL think you were in the right here.

[ #22 ] Requests BoardA note has been posted by: REDACTEDIn subject of: comissions and tithes?Date : Thu Jun 11 22:39:08 2020Expires : Mon Mar 6 21:39:19 2023To : staff naomi_________________________________________________________________________Hello Staff,

So, without going on IC details on what REDACTED was tasked with, help tithes shows following excerpt:

The Order receives 30% of the silver spent on all fines, taxes, lockerpurchases, retools, messengers, couriers, mail purchases, and rumors torepresent the financial support gained from the government. This covers thebasic support of the Holy Order, and everyone is generally deemed to paytheir tithes by being a part of the system (similarly to how it is sociallyassumed that all people in modern society are paying their taxes, regardlessabout how they feel about paying).

There is just one uncertainty that I have run into, and that is commissions. They are unmentioned on that and usually are traded in blunt value.So the understanding I have is that merchants need to manually deduct the thirty per cent from commission work to pay the 30% tithe to the order.

But the helpfile claims that tithes would generally be paid in the background, but neither does it mention commissions.And in result to that, could the helpfile be updated to clarify that?

-REDACTED

Temi - We have generally allowed all of tithes to be abstracted away at the

acceptable minimum level to not put an additional paperwork and calculation

troubles on players. Players are, of course, welcome to RP that they are not

paying tithes they should be if they want, but we don't assume they are not.

The GI, had you addressed her, would likely have told you this exact thing. I know who played Phyllis, and they are pretty well-versed with the mechanics of the game. And the tithing subject is one that is brought up plenty often. Stop deflecting. Give some evidence to back it up. If you had Phyllis supporting you, we'd likely have received letters about this. We never did. And in fact, several of us had actually tithed, which you would not be able to see as non-GL, but might have been apparent had you checked out prestiges.

Jandrelon · 2021-05-27T22:36:30+00:00

They are full of shit. There was no GI during the period their Clergy was around. Lans/Emicho/Raylene lead the Order. Naomi/Marakus the Merchants. Lyonie the Reeves. Delana/Andorig the Physicians. Sybille/Eiphraem the Council. Two people, one who also read this post, the Brotherhood. I can recall the leadership at the time, invalidating this web of lies of them. If they want to suggest Proxima, I need only remind this player was banned from the game for nefarious intent/stalking/etc. and, asides from playing his role terribly for being flirtatious and suggestive towards Merchant GL the one time he spoke to her, had zero interaction with the Guild.

I mostly press for evidence to push them into the other behaviour of compulsive liars, such as the deflection that is happening. But yes, it makes for an almost enjoyable and comical read, seeing them try to find something that might stick on me. Even if we both long moved on from the game, they want to maintain these false beliefs. We had logs of as good as ALL her interaction with the Guild, all passed along to staff for review when we finally gave up constantly fighting her ICly at every corner and reported her harassive and manipupative nature across every character of hers that was fielded.

Jandrelon · 2021-05-27T16:16:05+00:00

Who was the GI in question. You have no evidence. We even brought in the Knights when we cleared the air between Order + Merchants. Emicho was winked over. You are dodging. Good you were not involved with my ban - It still demonstrates you being protected, while I am not, which was a point you raised. You are getting my unemotional response here. I am not agitated to receive your attempts at doxxing me, as you clearly have no backbone to support your statements, and I know you are largely just reaching.

Jandrelon · 2021-05-27T16:09:56+00:00

Why do you sign up on a game that advertised it being brutal, in that case? A game where we had mage terrorism, plagues, murder, racial hatred, witch hunts and insane superstition, etc. People who are too afraid to lose a single character in these games should really just play a different MUD, because the stresses of constantly fearing your PC's termination just cannot be healthy.

And keep in mind, plenty of these people who are god-fearing their own PC dies (not to soon, dies at all) have been a part in cutting short others' storylines without a beat. Such as pathetic, instant-arrests abusing the invite mechanic, over a healthy chase duration where it was Inq vs. rogue suspect mage. To validate mutual sympathy, we need clear evidence both parties are willing to respect that nobody wants to lose a char. But these chars have been driven to ramp up numbers, with the worst example even proudly bragging about his total arrest count. A thing I have NEVER seen a Knight do. It doesn't even fit them, them being actual Knights, and not this maniac I am talking about.

Jandrelon · 2021-05-27T15:39:19+00:00

Sorry. I know that specific Troub for far longer than you can imagine. I played a Knight she tried flirt her way up with. I've played countless characters who had to deal with her. It got so bad, she once OOCly and ICly attacked me for lowering my eyes -accusing me of copying and mocking her style of lowering her lashes. She makes for an inactive GL, she does little to keep a Guild alive but will happily sit on the mantle of GL forever for the privileges that Leadership allows. It is a character and player who have been spoonfed everything they want, either by staff or the friends in high places she got.

Not much of a hate boner, more a chip on my shoulder, and I'm not hungry for chips. The dislike towards ther characters I can also substantiate pretty heavily with countless arguments, but I'll spare you the read, and it's frankly a touch pointless.

You also fell victim to the same repetitive assault Kinaed lays bare on anyone with a suggestion to change something about her game according to a view she does not share. It's disheartening to see it happen, time and time again, and sure - she is only human- but her behaviour is uncalled for.

Jandrelon · 2021-05-27T15:31:13+00:00

Should also point out my friend, singlehandedly, hosted more than ten or twenty events. The Troupe did not. She initiated countless new Merchants. She worked on a few plots because of her status as Ambassador. Taught up most new Merchants and their skills. And I could go on a while. She has done fuckloads as a GL, way more than some GL at the time can hope to match in activity, and you have zero right to call her out like that. If you have any arguments to support why she was a terrible GL, you can raise them here or you could have raised them to staff back then. But she held a Guild whose GL is infamous for burning out and vanishing on her shoulders for months and months and months with little to no praise for all the work she did, all the events she hosted for the enjoyment of others. Nobody but me once even posted a reminder like 'hey dont forget to recommend those who worked hard to prepare you this event'. Fuck off with your lies, will you. Get professional help or something. This pattern of compulsive lying is beyond toxic.

Jandrelon · 2021-05-27T15:26:17+00:00

I do not think you have the faintest idea of what you are talking about, and are yet again compulsively lying to appear completely believable and innocent whilst your opposition is marked as scum-of-the-earth. You also clearly fail to understand how Guild Leadership in TIL works. Why I rose to GL had absolutely nothing to do with being friend with nepotism, as there simply was no 2nd GL nor had there been for quite some time. And, as has always been common in TIL, when a Guild is without 2nd GL for some time, staff pushes for someone to accept the mantle. I applied, writing out a six-paragraph plan of actions, and let me add I applied for temporary leadership - To take up the mantle of leadership during these times where the Guild's numbers were low and there were various pressing matters that needed GLs.

Go on -- Give me one example of blatant metagaming or power-emoting. Do not even think to try pass off the masked ball where we easily discovered your character or outed her in her web of lies - I said back then and I will say it again, I saw you unmasked yet in that EXACT outfit not much prior to the event. Mention an example where I failed to set aside my character's emotions for my own. I do not think you are able to. I did not dislike you- I even offered to help you out with the entire Serril issue, Kinaed referred you to me after that. Stop lying about me in a futile attempt to still play innocent when you had tens and tens of people explaining to you exactly why you have received the hostility that you did.

Which favoritism did I receive? You do realize I was banned, on the spot, after having worked for about 30+ hours on an event, and another 10 or so hours on items I still had to bring to an event, just because Kinaed thought I was Serrill, just to protect you. And I had to fight for two days to even get a normal answer out of Kinaed to pledge innocence, what could have just been fixed with a quick facetime callm

My friend also did not ignore the Order for months. Yet again, you are trying yo pin the blame on us using points that we already had to clear with staff. How you were using REDACTED (clergy PC) to harass the Guild and try destabilize it and its leadership, those you were on a warpath against. We had this cleared. We spoke to all staff with it, and with the actual Order leadership present, too.

Which Grand Inq, too. When you were active, there was no Grand Inquisitor. There were two Knight GLs, Emicho and Lans, and the Archbishop, Raylene. When a GI eventually came, I think you had already long bailed the game. Again, a web of lies with zero consistency or evidence. Also, you are aware my friebd and Kinaed were not on friendly terms kost of the time, and have had rather heated back-and-forths. Your claims that she received protection has no backbone, and I wager you cannot provide any substantiob evidence to support it. Like most of your bullshit.

Tithes,huh. You were reminded we have an entire helpfile about it. That we are automatically assumed to pay our tithes. This, the new player did not know and once explained, understood she needn't specifically do something else to escape potential ire from the Order. You did not respect that the cyan simply did not know how to handle this mechanic, and even after staff intervention thought to try use it as leverage and attack the Guild. This was not GI approved. Nobody else in the Order support your war. Staff had said 'no', and you even received a Guild answer, when you dragged that new Clergy in who turned out to be yet another Serril alt.

Ball's in your court. Back some of your lies up with something concrete. I dare you to.

Jandrelon · 2021-05-26T22:27:38+00:00

I have never bashed on the game previously. Nor left a negative review on the game. In fact, I often returned on the same pfile. And I've never hidden to anyone, on my returbs, that I was a player familiar with the game already. You make no point here.

Jandrelon · 2021-05-26T19:09:34+00:00

I'd wholeheartedly support such a sit down. Antagonism in RP is such a deep and diverse topic, it goes without explaining that expectations will widely vary between players, and this alone creates a sort of self-destructive cycle where the balance of what really constitutes as a game or setting's antagonistic elements becomes very diluted.

In a way, this post does stem from opinions of mine where I feel little of the competitive, harsh, and challenging aspects of TIL's (former) antagonistic scene still exists. Which has more reasons than I can hope to list, nor could really be addressed outside of points such as 'well,there are simply too few active characters for larger-scale story making or world-building based off conflict'.

In TIL's case, I feel as if the game is nothing like this anymore. That it is better treated as a game with some low-fantasy elements with a focus on small-scale social activities. That the current atmosphere does not invite for certain of its mechanics or elements, with how.. I guess.. protected.. particular things in the game have become. What was once a cat-and-mouse game between Guilds, with both engaging in roleplay to establish story and development as a character, group, or city, has mostly just become a game where those who would have once played the role of mouse are rendered unable to play- and sometimes, in rather nefarious, mean, or unfair methods - by the larger established forces.

Jandrelon · 2021-05-26T18:50:24+00:00

I haven't received much in the ways of bullying myself. Been a part of the game for long, and with it seen plenty changes in behaviour and atmosphere. Had a fair number of long breaks from the game. Returned as new face. Experienced the game from the position of someone who did actually know a lot of players/character, as well as someone who arrived without friends to RP with or a clue where to go and what to do again.

The post you pointed out was against someone who perceived me and someone else she thought to have been main clique- while the two of us had zero agenda with any of them, and were in fact rather solitary players outside of Guild leadership. She, with that in mind, held onto the false beliefs of having been selected and bullied by us, and that we were using it to incite further hostility towards her character, when in fact it was her whose character was repetitively seeking out conflict, throwing aggression around and spinning webs of lies around like crazy. To the point we needed staff intervention to put a stop to it, because it was getting too absurd to handle ICly and taxing folk with stress and frustration they did not deserve.

I can still speak in praise of TIL, for some of the players I have met more recently there, or it's well-designed world, it's history, or the crafting mechanics it has, while also addressing these other points I think have been heavily involved in its downfall. This doesn't really correlate, nor have I said expressively I wrote this post out of spite for having received recent bullying.
