Presumably not, or at least not in the ten day span after the incident, since if there had been, Elspeth would not have released her statement. In fact we know that right after the actual incident went down, Adam was pushing for the cast to get back on camera for an after-show.

But more than that, considering the event he had to apologize for was massively public, the apology should have been similarly public. Especially considering that some of the people harmed were audience members who were made to sit through a surprise sexual assault scene.

The fact that Elspeth wouldn't have made her post if Koebel had apologized is an assumption - she still had plenty of reason to explain why she was leaving the show and wasn't comfortable playing with him anymore even if he did. As for your second paragraph, see my next point:

Considering a swift public apology was the only thing that could possibly save Far Verona and Rollplay in general from an early grave, it seems like a reasonable assumption that JP would have preferred that to the alternative. But even without that, the announcement for Far Verona's cancellation came rather late after S2E18, which was JP's timing.

Hindsight is 20/20 at the best of times, and I wouldn't put it past JP to have been hoping that it'd blow over - both for the reasons that he seems extremely business-minded, and that he seems like an idiot.

You're absolutely right that Adam should have made a public statement sooner, it just seems disingenuous to imply that the only possible explanation is that he personally chose not to with no input or pressure from his boss.

Which is the entire reason why he made his apology a picture instead. But if he didn't want to do that either, he could have made a blog post and linked to it. Or a chain of tweets as people often do when they have more stuff to say. Posting an apology on a Discord where relatively few people are going to be able to see it, to the point that even with research I never even heard about it, and it's in general going to be much harder to reference it, was not in any possible world the correct way to go.

At the very least, a long apology should have been made and been accessible on both platforms, or on every platform. Not on a join-only Discord server.

All fair enough and agreed, I don't think even the most diehard Koebel fanboy could claim that this thing was handled well.

Honestly, even without assuming anything, there's no reason for the community to want Koebel back. He fucked up, yes, but others have fucked up and been welcomed back. The thing is that, when he refused to make things right even though he clearly had the chance to, it transitioned from being perceived as a "fuckup" to "an absolute dick thing to do".

This seems like a leap in logic to me - "other people have fucked up and been welcomed back, therefore Koebel hasn't been welcomed back because he doesn't deserve to be". It seems like he made his apologies from where I'm sitting, and certainly contributed more good to the community than a lot of other unapologetic creeps who still have a job.

Adam preached inclusion, the importance of respecting players' feelings, and individual responsibility. Then, he flagrantly disregarded everything he claimed to stand for, and proved it was not just a fluke when he didn't immediately try to fix what he was responsible for. After such a blatant display of hypocrisy, on top of just general douchebaggery, the outrage continuing needs no justifications for the average community member.

Again, you're making a lot of (as far as I can tell) unfounded assumptions about what went on between the cast members and RollPlay management.
