This reply is full of wierd takes and is just generally very dishonest. It looks as if youâve just cherrypicked a few points from what happened in an attempt to make what you did seem justifyable. But honestly even reading the stuff you picked it looks pretty bad.
That alone shouldâve made you think that this was a bad idea.
Iâll humor this, but there is literally nothing stopping you from just going. Nobody forced you to stay.
This part is literally just you admitting to fostering a community of people within the guild that knew about your secret identity & kept it hidden from the GM. Iâm not even sure how you donât see this as an issue.
This entire post lacks the even basic self awareness to just admit fault. At no point did you say âSorry for this.â at most you just say it was a bad idea, but only in a manner that it was bad for you. Youâve not put any consideration to how the affected parties might feel and instead just used it as a front to paint others as the bad guys. The only thing you are sorry for, I believe, is that you got caught.
And it tells a lot that a person who is âGone for goodâ still feels the need to post after saying âIâm goingâ.
All the vagueposters start crawling out of the walls claiming this, that and the other and then you wonder why people get defensive about it after 4 years of dealing with the same schtick repeatedly
Considering I mentioned some of the issues that I had at the time, it wasnât insults. So now I made my post and some people who feel that indulging in that same kind of abrasive attitude is exactly the way to prove that theyâre not abrasive. Seems pretty legit to me.
I wonder if it ever crossed the mind of those people go say that âtheyre too bigâ about the PCU etc that maybe the reason for it being that people like the roleplay?
And if it bothers you that so many people do compared to your own, maybe try to make roleplay that more people are interested in?
Iâm not defending it, Iâm saying that itâs all wrapped up in the weird little microcosm of AD being a bit of a hellhole to exist in if you want to do anything larger than a tight knit insular guild due to weirdly constrictive elitism from some groups of people, and that there is nothing good about lying or concealing identity, but the claims from that same person that the server is a bit of a nest of a small group of bullies that have exerted themselves on others while most would prefer to just get on with it without dealing with that sort of thing arenât wrong because of that.
I donât think theyâre trying to pretend not to be abrasive. Theyâre just doing what people do man, theyâre reacting aggressively when you start trying to pick a fight with them.
I know itâs hard, my friend, but sometimes if you donât want confrontation, you just have to step away from the keyboard and leave things be⌠you canât expect to start calling communities âlittle bulliesâ and âunpleasantâ and have people just smile politely back at you in returnâŚ
Try and imagine saying these things to a person in real life, and imagine how theyâd react.
I never mentioned occult evil or some web of lies or that the PCU is too large and has too much influence.
The issues I have with the group are exactly the sort of things you and a few others have been demonstrating in this thread as problems. If this is how you operate in the face of criticism, Iâd sure hate to see what you say behind closed doors. If you werenât what I say you are, you wouldnât be doing what youâre doing. Apparently that goes over your head though.
