@Ghost Sure, that's exactly what I'm saying right now. I'm acknowledging that this is what's happening and maybe we should ALL try and reframe. I'm working on it myself.

Welcome to Hogtown, where the brain worms are not metaphorical.

A band of survivors trying to eke out an existence in a city shut off from the rest of the world, contending with formerly-human worm-infested husks, other bands of survivors, supply shortages, and the elements. Will you be one of the few who remains?

6ix Remains is a story of community-building and survival. It is a story of difficult decisions, ingenuity, and finding strength and resilience in the face of overwhelming odds. A story about ordinary people who become extraordinary in extraordinary circumstances.

Just don’t piss off the librarians. They’re armed.

Right now, we are in the leadup to the official Alpha opening. We're open for CG, RP, low-key events (both staff- and player-run), and testing out ideas, themes, and implementation, with the official plot launch planned in about a month. Feel free to reach out to me with any questions!

@Ghost Yeah. It's all fraught and weird and I certainly am not qualified to come up with a solution for it other than making a reminder to myself that the person on the other side of my computer screen is real and has feelings and exists beyond my need for cheap dopamine and a flaming dunk when I'm pissed at them.

I get that a lot of us have issues and I guarantee that all of us nerds have been bullied, and I know that we all have some degree of trauma from MU-related interactions. I think that we are all verging on middle age now and accountability needs to look different than it did twenty years ago. I wish I was smart enough to propose a better model, but things as they stand are not healthy.

@Ghost I was being reactive and I wasn't being kind.

Having dysfunctional behaviors doesn't make someone a bad person, anyway. We all have them. They can be unlearned.

@Macha You weren't pre-banned due to anyone's accusations. You were banned because you were using my game as a chat service to contact my players and bring your bullshit drama onto the game I pay for. When I decided to ban you for that, you used a VPN to contact one of the same people again, who had already told you in no uncertain terms that they were not going to engage with you on this topic.

DARVO all you want, darlin'. I've been DARVOed by far better.

Also, "alphabet mafia" is some real homophobic bullshit.
