That feeling when some simple little thing occurs to you about a character you are playing or a setting you are building that seems small and innocuous but that has potential to taint/deepen everything else they touch or have done in the past and... and you get that mental frisson... unf.
@Ghost Man I would love to do RL GHOSTFACERS bullshit. But not join a cult.
After 12.5 years of marriage i have found that my wife keeps a file on me...
...but at least I now know where my birth certificate is!
(This is a good thing because I am about as organized as a tornado in a henhouse)

He would regularly assume the worst of minor inactions and then go on the aggressive because of it. ('You didn't respond to my page or react to my joke on the channel within 5 minutes, therefore xyz'.)
So a lot of what you wrote resonated with me but this line alone just brought back memories... of myself. Before i was aware of my own issues (anxiety, self esteem, depression, etc) I have totally flipped out on people for... little things, and in a similar way. Especially if it was with someone who's Rp i was invested in for what reason or another. (OMG i wanted to RP with you today but i see you are already in a scenes with someone else... DO YOU HATE ME?! cringe) I dont know if i was ever this bad, but it rang some bells, and I genuinely feel shitty for how unaware/cringy I was. Not to defend this person, but that struck home.
I have a few people on my own list that i would be SUUUPER wary about joining a game they were on, so i feel ya.
And you are correct, the presence of anti creepoing policy does not stop creepers. I feel that instead the policies should be there as an aid and starting point for those that are creeped upon, rather than strictly to warn people. A 'Here is what you do if someone is harassing you oocly/trying to force you into rp you dont want/etc. Here is how we can help, and here is how you can help us help you.
Does that sound right? Or at least as a start?
The modern tech that lets me watch my delivery driver drive to my house with food. Thats right bitch, make that right turn onto my street, i see you coming... nom.
@Dreampipe You make me feel old. I don't like it. I got married in 2006, I was 26....
Edit: (also welcome to the community)
@Too-Old-For-This 'I am at the main office is this right?' is coide for 'i didn't even try to read the delivery instruction s and instead of the no hassle delivery I wan'ted i now have to put on some fucking shoes and come after you like i was god damned Balto.
@Sunny So you don't think that having a sexual relationship with a person in power over the community that you are invested in is a detriment to the rest of the community? That it doesn't undermine trust as an impartial staffer?
Edit: I mean 'the GM's girlfriend' is a fucking thing for a reason.
@SG @Auspice Half way through and i am in love. Good Omens has been a favorite book of mine since high school and... and this is magnificent, more than I could have asked so far.
@faraday Jane probably poses in past tense! That <redacted> person!
@Macha I start Therapy in 8 days. Wheee! And I know plenty that do therapy, no shame, all the awesome.
People that give you shit for taking care of your mental health are morons, it'd be like making fun of someone going to the doctor for burns or a broken leg or because they were stabbed. Oh you need a prosthetic? You need bandaids? You need help? What a loser! It's the same idiots who will make fun of a fat person at the fucking gym. Flip em off, and continue doing what is good for you.
@surreality Well that person seems like a genuine piece of shit and I am sorry.
I dont remember what thread people were mentioning POC PB's and i ran across Her
@littlelizard said in The Worst Thing You Have Done in this Hobby Thread:
Lost my shit and forgot there was a person behind the screen. Doesn't matter why..or whatever was happening at the time..
I hurt someone. Absolutely the worst thing I've done in this hobby.
Can i just copy this answer?
@JinShei You should also try cheering up. Maybe smile more? Cant you just get over it? It's all in your head after all. Just eat less.
I'm really enjoying Aesthetic Perfections new album 'Into The Black'.
First song, Gods and Gold
