I was not trying to dissuade the newbie, I was trying to help them. I offered them background information regarding their PC and how they had interacted with mine. And what the two scenes involved. I even had asked for a scene with them and offered to help them get settled. I did not mean to in any way dissuade her from taking the character. If she thought I was doing so, apologies for that, it wasn't my intention.

I have not intentionally tried to block anyone from story lines. And I don't think I complained loudly and often on channels about not having enough meta plot attention. I think maybe once, early on when I didn't understand the significance of my PC's secret, yes, because I had been struggling to get involved in things as a commoner, but often? Hardly. I spent a lot of time on channels helping people, I sang the praises of the staff and the awesome job they do often. And I asked a lot of questions.

I don't think I've had any special staff attention, no GM'd scenes, I think I submitted one story action request. The character secret had only just recently started to come into play and it was really helpful when it came to getting involved, so I was grateful for that.

Clearly many, many people do not view your actions that way. I would be the first person to sympathize with being in a situation where you are limited to the subjectivity of your own intent, but if so many people are saying this is how you came off, and if staff was willing to ban you for it, you owe it to yourself as someone who is part of a community hobby to ask yourself why and how you gave that impression, try to view it objectively, and take what you can from that.

I've shown several people the log of the conversation, including a couple of independent people who have never played Arx, and pretty much everyone agreed with the fact that they didn't feel I had been trying to dissuade her. But as mentioned before, if she at all felt like I was, as I posted earlier, I apologise. I never wanted to do that. I was just trying to help.

What'd Julea do? Has anyone else been banned yet?

I do know some eyes were turned toward her direction regarding blocking other people out of rp, and likewise some regard as getting an overt amount of attention and shinies plotwise. I could not speak as to the veracity of it all, but the former would be more likely a reason for ban than the latter.

Neither are correct.

Went out of my way to involve people who were struggling to get involved in story and plot, but my play times sometimes made it tricky to catch up with everyone I wanted to.

I'm sure you were very inclusive of people who you didn't feel were direct competition to your personal story.

Julea was territorial of what she felt were her storylines and worked to block others from being involved and actively tried to dissuade a brand new player from their character because they were written in as a potential rival. She complained loudly and often on channel about not having adequate metaplot attention while her character had more secrets, hooks, and special abilities than several other characters combined. As a largely uninvolved observer, I can honestly say that she is actively misrepresenting herself and staff above. Guess what finger I’m holding up.

@Meg I was a very new addition to the Thrax, and didn't know about or attend the funeral. I can't speak for anyone else's experiences but my own was really good. Everyone on an OOC level was great.

I do not think I got an overt amount of attention from staff, I hadn't been involved in any GM'd scenes. Only 1 story request. I was given a really good secret though, and that was crucial in helping me integrate and get involved, particularly towards the end of my play time.

Player of Victus in particular was very inclusive and welcoming when my PC joined Thrax on an OOC level.

Been playing a long time, but the list is small. I've never been able to alt, much less play more than one game at a time.

@WanderingMU He was exactly the same with me from the moment my character joined Thrax, often going out of his way to do so.

@lordbelh Found you to be really inclusive on an OOC level, going out of your way to involve my PC (Julea) and others in things and set up scenes.

This makes little sense. Very much a WTF.
