@Runescryer Gaslighting? I am not attempting to gaslight anything.

Again, you are reading what you want into things to try and spin them into the direction you want them to be seen.

Congratulations.

For your information, a private scene, with one other person, is not starting a rumor unless that other person, in that private scene, goes about and starts /talking about it/ ICly to other people.

Please, share with the class, where that happened.

Just because you believe something happened in whatever delusional situation you're saying occurred, doesn't mean it actually occurred.

Accusing someone of being ultimate levels of toxic for saying something you don't agree with in a private 1 on 1 scene is actual gaslighting.

@Runescryer Outed me? Nobody, I defended myself against accusations way out of left field. Now that I know what's going on it's clear this is a hit piece. And since you offered, allow me to post up our private conversation

Tony says, "I just wanted to talk to you about the scene you had where you claimed Tonywas manufacturing anti-mutant weapons. That's not a part of the character history here or the arc I'm taking Tony in. So, I'm trying to work out a solution to that involving a minimal disruption to RP or to anyone's character interpretation."

Warren says, "It was an offhand comment about Tony being a weapons manufacturer and the anti-mutant atmosphere in general. Not a direct accusation. Like say, accusing the wrong gun manufacturer of making the AR-15."

Tony says, "Okay. Just checking. Because I don't want to push you into a bad look for the character here. If you're intentionally making a false claim and are aware, that's fine."

Warren says, "Huh? Bad look? It was a comment made in private, and not a public statement."

Tony says, "I was just trying to figure out how to salvage the situation with the minimal amount of conflict.

Sure, it was in private. But it's also starting a rumor that can spread or get back to Tony."

Warren says, "How is it starting a rumor?"

Tony says, "By claiming Tony manufactures anti-mutant weapons? At the Xaiver School? How is that not starting a rumor?"

Tony says, "Move-In Day. And it was a private scene with Jean. But it's still starting up a rumor that's going to impact RP for everyone. This isn't Tony confronting you ICly or finding ut what you said. This is an OOC conversation about how your claim can impact RP in the future. Do you think that X-folk are going to want to RP with a guy they think is making weapons specifically to hunt them down? It's going to affect how Betsy gets viewed in the Mansion because of her association with Tony. It's more than just a throw-away line, here. Do you think that Jean's not going to bring up in casual conversation that Tony's making anti-mutant weapons? Especially with Betsy around?"

Warren says, "No it will not. It was a private scene, and someone is blowing up your ass. You cannot accuse someone of something that will not happen, and you cannot accuse someone for something they have not yet done. You are fabricating a problem that does /not/ exist."

Tony says, "Just giving my view and opinion of the situation. How you play your character is entirely up to you. "

Warren says, "Noted. But quit with the rumor mongering. It hasn't happened. It won't happen. And Betsy doesn't have access to everyone's thoughts, past, and omniscience."

Yep. I am the evils.

@Runescryer Oh, you're that guy. That explains so much.

And yet again, I did not do the things you're accusing me of. Ok, now that I know who you are, and what your stake is in all of this...

Well.

That makes a lot more sense.

Trying to spread rumors that someone is a stalker and abuser though? That's low man.

Real low.

ETA: I didn't make any advances on Betsy, that's all in the logs too, anyone can read them. So... yeah, you've got it bad man... but seriously? This?

@Ghost I want to point out, that Jean approached me, ICly, and OOCly, about being more flirtatious in another scene. She and I are /friends/ OOCly, and that the storyline is supported if the other previous scenes of those characters are ready before hand.

Taken out of context, yes, it could look that way for sure, but, considering the (former) player of Jean (who left due to this nonsense, amongst other issues but not my place to say, that is hers), and I communicate regularly on discord and I am certain would speak up to me if something was wrong, and asked me to play Warren there...

Perhaps not all is as it seems.

Considering that I have been labeled with some highly gross and predatory behavior, of course I react negatively to such accusations.

If you are going to quote a log, then and try to use it out of context to support these accusations then there is nothing I, nor anyone else, can say to make you believe I am not what I am being accused of.

There are plenty of logs of my RP with Warren that do not conform to any such predatory behavior.

@GreenFlashlight If this is true, then I wish people would have informed me because nobody ever told me I was behaving in any way that made anyone uncomfortable. I've had quite a few scenes with a lot of people, and was not aware of anyone responding negatively to my RP with any of my characters.

I don't know who these '4 people' are on discord, I don't know what happened, in what situations, because it has never been brought to my attention. I cannot address situations I have not been told about, and am /always/ willing to work with people, adjust scenes, and RP, to make sure people are as comfortable as can be in RP of whatever nature.

I've been thanked for that, by multiple people.

To me, these claims are completely out of left field, and inconsistent with any information that I had prior. I don't know what I need to do to 'repair' my relationship with the community. I don't even know what I did that was wrong other than pursuing a pre-arranged storyline with Jeans player for our characters that is now being used against me.

There is no way to win here, I say I didn't do these things, others come up with unsupported accounts that I can't possibly defend against.

Even to the point that when others say I didn't do these things, they get attacked for saying I didn't do these things.

So, I am truly sorry that anyone felt they couldn't speak with me about any behavior or RP that was causing any issues. I am sorry that by obeying a do not contact from ZG about Macha's character is somehow gaslighting people. I don't really know what else to say except this, all of this, to me seems like an attack against me as a person and my character which I was not prepared for as it occurred without warning and was a sudden nuclear attack against me.

For whatever that is worth, that is the truth as I know it.

@tek At this point, I don't care about looking 'good'. I care about waking up, and logging on to find I had been banned without warning, and my characters given away already, and then finding out I am accused of gaslighting people, accused of being DWOPP of all things, and that playing a character as they're presented in a year 1 situation moderately accurately is somehow bannable behavior.

I requested staff involvement to a potential problem with a player being weird and aggressive OOCly to me, was told it was handled, and was asked to not respond if a different player contacted me so I didn't respond to that player. I RP'd with everyone, didn't gaslight anyone, and was promoting RP.

The idea that I would just lay down and take it for no good reason is laughable. I don't even know why I was caught in the backlash of someone else having a meltdown.

But honestly, having my IP supposedly 'linked' to DWOPP? I don't care how it looks, I'm /not/ that person, and to suggest it is insulting. Especially along with all the other baseless accusations.

@ZombieGenesis One, I am not DWOPP, and two, what problematic behavior was I banned for, without warning, three, thanks for the heads up and the conversation about any problematic behavior. (ETA: This is sarcasm, obvs, but just in case you think I was gaslighting someone? No clue how I was gaslighting anyone btw)

So I got banned, for reporting being harassed OOCly, I guess.

I don't even know what's going on anymore but this is a surprise.

@Runescryer Warren Worthington, aka Angel, has money. He backed many teams in the comics, and bankrolled many things. I didn't pay for anyones college tuition, I bought a dress for someone, let someone borrow a car, and was founding a comics team, like he had done many times in the comic books. Playing a wealthy character doesn't make someone DWOPP and thems fightin' words.

Enough to make me come back to this place just to say 'No, I am /not/ that person.'

That moment when you are worried you are losing a character in your head, and then they just click back into place and make them fun again.

I hate it when I lose grasp on a character, but you can't have 'ups' without 'downs' and this is a great 'up' for me.

@skew On a game I am playing, they allow macro's but there needs to be a 1 second delay in between the commands entered. While it is an old rule, and likely has no real bearing on the current day as the rule was written when there were hundreds of people there, I still want to follow it.

So I set a trigger where I do something, and it runs the macro (mainly a gear swap between flying and ground fighting gear and trading gear). I would like to put the 1 second pauses in just to be compliant.

Anyone know how to put a delay into a macro in Potato?

@ganymede Late to the conversation, for better or worse, if you remove the effects of social stats on PC's (Which I am neither four or against, personally), then you need to reduce the cost of them. Right now they are the same cost as punching someone in the face.

Punching someone in the face always works or not based on the roll.

Social stats in your game would not, so need to be less expensive comparatively.

At least my two cents.

Sorry if this was addressed already haven't read all 8 pages yet.

@surreality Yeah you don't want any part of that, all they're doing is feeding the well known troll.

@ganymede I want downvotes back just so I can downvote someone with a cool game idea fizzling

@ganymede said in Requiem 2e Bloodlines:

stuff stuff stuff I did a bunch for the Dark Ages game I was working on more stuff stuff stuff

Please tell me you are still working on this?

@auspice I am probably going to get dog piled for this, and maybe I should, but... other than the lack of the text crawl at the start of it... I actually enjoyed Solo a fair bit.

I watched it just to watch it, was expecting the worst, and... was rather pleasantly surprised. I laughed and enjoyed it. Was it excellent cinema? No not really, but I did enjoy it and was entertained.

I am looking forwards to Taika though too.

I have been working on coding up a game system that should be fairly adaptable for most any setting but it may no tbe flexible enough for /every/ setting. It is more a system designed where magic is good, but comparable to other types of attacks to not overshadow the rest of the people who aren't magic. You could scale up the numbers with a little editing to increase the power of course but, then balance would go quite out the window.

@puppybreath We lost a cat to this once, the cat just stopped eating, nothing we could do, turns out if they get any kind of mouth or tooth problem they will stop eating and starve themselves to death if you don't get it treated. We ended up having to put ours down so it didn't suffer. Was very hard.

This whole TTG thing is fucked up beyond all recognition.

Or it should be.

But it happens far to often.

NECRO FTW

I have a friend using duck client and some sites it just autodisconnects upon connecting. Others it works fine. Does anyone know why it might do this and how to fix?

There was another guy that got beaten to death, some Gold Dragon got in a fight with an eagle on the streets, just a fist fight, and combat code took him out. Caused a kerfluffle.

I liked DA:2 I haven't touched DA:I yet, need to do that still. I didn't agree with some of the design choices, such as the change to elven facial features but I got they were trying to make them more alien and inhuman. As for the story and the NPC's, I looked at it as backstory, it was good backstory, fleshing out the theme of the main universe, and I loved it for that.

ME:3 I just... I felt lied to. The endings were shitty yes, and I loved the game up to the last 20 minutes too like most people.

Making all my choices not matter though? That did me in. I can't even replay through ME:2 anymore because I then know I'll have to replay 3.
