The name of the Elysium chatroom also comes from this same RPG, for reference.) If you weren’t a Toreador did you really Masquerade???

It’s classless, it’s disgusting, and that info needs to be replaced by someone else. There’s probably not even gonna be a eve thread after this bullshit if we’re being honest after this one dies, but I’m sure someone else will pick up the mantle. Or maybe not.

She's also 13 now so starting to slow down, finally. A good girl

Yeaaaaah if the op isn't going to edit the first post himself, it needs to be done for him. No one should be funneled into this meatgrinder with its leadership in the state that it's in. if mods saw fit to ban the guild leader, they ought to see fit to close that gateway until such a time that said guild leader is (very unlikely) deposed.

Gwyneth Palpate posted:IIRC, Mittani kept him around because he thought he had an ability to psychoanalyze people in a way that no one else could. I'm mildly shocked so much of this is news to people. Alex's pa-in-law played and hung out with Theta frequently, he was really a great guy to talk with - one time he was actually logged into Mumble as the Mittani and we managed to confuse the hell out of DBRB. That was before the divorce, and Ark and others tried to help his ex-wife (which sealed her exit from GSOL permanently). I didn't know about the dog and cats but around that point I basically had Alex mentally binned as a person based on the info I knew about the poo poo that had gone down. Xenuria was always on my poo poo list in Jabber, I never once thought of him as anything but a weirdo. I also have never understood how the hell he hadn't been airlocked a dozen times. I did accept the story how the ED pages had been looked into and Digi or whoever found no supporting evidence. ED is pretty skeevy in my experience so the idea it was just made-up attacks was not that incredible. I did meet Alex at IceSwarm as a new-minted CD member along with Sion, who was pretty decent, but I'm not the sort of party boy that ended up hanging out with Alex and Co. so I didn't really say more than a few words to him. More time watching the Rick and Morty marathon, frankly. And eating cheese curds. I'm still unclear what new evidence came up about Xenuria beyond the ED stuff, but really it's icing on the wierdness cake to me. I stayed in Goonswarm after the the divorce drama that led to Ark going because of friends in Theta, and the people I immediately interacted with like Tuzy and so on, Alex has been basically irrelevant to me - you can play day-to-day and he basically doesn't exist. Plus Toronto Goonmeets were fun at the Granite. I finally unsubbed a couple month ago, Rust was created June 2003 so at 19 he's in alpha now. Side notes: thanks to Atrum for helping avoid being purged a couple times for inactivity ("Rust fix your poo poo or I will press the button myself goddamnit"). Powers and Warr for 2011-2012 era MiniLuv - it was insane. Spacedad Ted and everyone for Theta's Golden age in JU- when we fielded more titans than most alliances. Zungen for baiting stuff we *usually* killed except that one time we don't talk about *cough*. Holding the ratlines out of Dek for the last JFs out of JU-. Sending money to Carusio. (Oops.) Killing that incursion in JU- in like 10 hours when GSOL asked Theta to do so. Blopsing for months with Zungen, General Disturbed, and co. None of that involved Mittens, thankfully.

It's worth spelling this out explicitly: Right now, the imperium is a more dangerous environment for sexual harassment victims than it was at this time last week. The only changes that have taken place involve policies that more completely silence victims and clampi down on the ability for their social groups to bring the matter forward. The guild leader, who has been clarified to be a sexual harasser himself and the kind of person who financially rugpulled his wife utilizing a high-trust power of attorney authority while she was abroad, has clarified that his public positions on sexual harassment and change are pure PR, and that he will continue to see victims as "mentally ill...wounded bird...Amber Heards...who can't find the block button." Edit the OP. This is an ongoing safety issue. It is not resolved. Action should be taken to seal the door until it seems that the root cause--the guild leader--has been dealt with. Which, in all likelihood, means never. Potato Salad fucked around with this message at 21:13 on Jul 14, 2022 |

Yeah no, you don’t get to suggest a goddamn thing to me anymore. First, I’m glad you appear to be doing better and are in a good enough place you felt comfortable sharing the Rydis story. Sorry that happened to you and I didn’t really like carrying that around. However, that doesn’t excuse the other what… 2-5 times either Endie or myself went to bat to get you another chance only to have you… what… forget to take your meds, revert to old habits, get mad about a girl or just get mad at spaceships and say “gently caress it I’m burning it all down,” and proceed to goonfuck your way out? I spent too much time and personal capital trying to get you back in. I’m done with that. There’s nothing to forgive, but I’m not forgetting. Keep on stepping homie, we aren’t bros.

Guy, when asked to offer words and thoughts: "yeah sure, yep, yeah the stuff kind of sucks, drat" Guy, when asked to offer action: "can't do it, it's too important to fail" It isn't a very tall ask. According to the strategic geniuses on gf.com right now, removing recruiting from SA would mean absolutely nothing at all.

Who cares about your stupid grudge against him when he's just saying "Hey nix the Goonfleet recruitment ads in the OP when advertising for Goonfleet is the LAST thing we should do"? If your grudge prevents you from doing the right thing, then maybe set it aside for a moment, and do the right thing.

Lived experience isn't a grudge. Mandozer is a serial abuser of trust. Going "I'm not listening to you again" is just like, a good thing everyone should do. You don't have to defend him to make the point that the OP should get nuked.
