>>119827He pulls his head back around the corner.
"We got company."
>>119830"Nothing particularly of note. Just wanted to let her know about your other companion." Silver takes a purposely deep breath through his nose. "Ahhh...what wonderful smell..."
>>119832She pulls back as well. Nothing comes this far
>>119833“.... No”
>>119833Iron glares at Silver, scruching his muzzle at his deep breathing in disgust.
"Why would you do that?"
>>119833Sands pulls in close, and says through her teeth
“
Not in front of the Kirin”
>>119835>>119836At Sands' request, Silver shuts up about it.
>>119832Skies pulls over to Dark Star, and whispers into his ear
“By the way, Dark Star? This might be a bad time... But I’ve been fucking Silver Sword, and I am breaking up with you”
>>119838Dark Star looks at her in shock.
"You what?"
>>119837>>119836Iron facehoofs at Silver for his imprudent timing.
(Is this stallion senile?) he thinks to himself.
>>119840“You heard me. Now look in front of you, there’s a griffin”
[1d20 = 17]>>119842Dark star walks around the corner and shoots at the griffion with no regard for his own saftey.
>>119846Argentina and Dark Star have been ceaselessly tormenting me about Blue Skies having sex with Silver Sword for 8 months now. They refuse to think of it as a mistake and leave it in the past, when I suggest just killing her off or removing her from the story, I meet resistance. They always say “just have her tell him and let them break up” which makes no fucking sense because every motivation the blue skies character has would lead her to stay with Dark Star and keep the other events a secret. But they won’t stop tormenting me about that character, they won’t get over it, and they won’t let me just remove her. So I am giving them what they demand. It doesn’t make sense in context, you say? Well it was never going to make sense in context, because it would never have happened except for them yelling at me to do it on Discord all the time
>>119853Dude, go fuck yourself. This has nothing to do with any “rape” and everything to do with you fucking harassing me on discord
>>119855It definitely is. Skies' rape is the main point that diminishes her character and hurts deeply the player controlling her coltfriend. Star is obviously upset about it because it broke his heart, and who could blame him? Who would chin up at the prospect of witnessing their loved one be assaulted and abused while they can't do anything about it? Of course it's going to have an impact, GM.
>>119856That was 9 fucking months ago, get over it and move on. Do I need to use my magical GM powers to remove it from history?
POOF!It is now erased from the timeline; it never happened.
Now for the love of God can you two just move on with your lives?
>>119857I assure you I am fully aware. Very few people have learned that lesson as completely and as fully as me.
>>119858As much as you want that deleted out of frustration of the ship you liked burning up in flames due to an unforseen consequence of having another PC interact with it so closely, you can't really do it.
It'll always be there, haunting behind the scenes in the back of both you and Star. No matter how much you erase it in the game time now, it is too late. The sting will always be there.
I already had you covered: Let Star let go of Skies and live their lives separately without conflict, yet for some reason, you jumped the shark impetously, hoping through that rash decision you could go back to the status quo ASAP. You only needed to wait after the mission, yet you escalated things up to leaking drama inthread.
Of course it was a mistake. A hurting, deep mistake that won't be remedied by simply killing her off either, as others have grown fond of her.
The only one tormenting you is yourself at this point through rash decisions that cost you your sanity and campaign. I had the solution, yet you refused.
>>119857Discord is alright. Drama occurs almost all the time, no matter which medium is chosen.
Everything that's gone wrong in the campaign is my fault. I'm sorry.
>>119861Not in the slightest. You shouldn’t have to constantly apologize for actions done in D&D almost a year ago. Just have fun and enjoy the game.
>>119861Tbh your character screwing
and possibly impregnating one of the major NPCs is one of the reasons why D&D is so great. Going off the rails is fun.
>>119860I'm trying to help you, GM. I want this to end as much as you do. You just had to wait a bit and let the thread between Star and Skies be cut off naturally through character interactions and changing interests.
>>119861Don't be too hard on yourself. You got caught up in the heat of the moment and followed your urges. As long as it doesn't happen again, which is unlikely something like this could happen again, you'll be alright.
>>119863Eh. I suppose that's true, but there needs to be a limit on how off the rails one can be, lest they ruin other players' fun.
>>119862>>119863None of this would have happened had it not been for me and my terrible decisions. Everything has been tearing apart since then. I never wanted to cause any of this, to hurt you guys. I just wanted to enjoy a fun game with fun people.
>>119865This group has broken and reformed so many times over far less. Don’t take it so personally. We are very autistic.
>>119865>>119866What Spark said.
It's a one time thing that hopefully won't happen again after this.
>>119867So what if it happens again? You shouldn’t take these events personally to begin with.
>>119868Stealing a woman from another man is wrong and shouldn't be done unless it was intended to be shared in the first place by all parties, no matter how real of fictional it is. Of course it's going to hurt the victim emotionally, which is why it shouldn't happen to begin with.
>>119869That's like saying you shouldn't kill another player in an online shooter. It's all for fun and just makes the gameplay more memorable. There are CK2 multiplayer sessions where one player tries to sleep with everyone else's wives.
>>119869You didn’t seem to have a problem bedding a different mare than that zebra you were drooling over. I don’t give a damn what happens for ERP on this thing because it is largely disconnected from the plot. Please stop pretending there are huge moral implications here.
>>119869This is a role playing game. Characters In roleplay gets games, especially D&D, often steal, lie, murder, pillage, and rape. One of the big draws of the roleplay is that because it isn’t real, you can do things in character that you wouldn’t, couldn’t, and shouldn’t do in real life. Your character, for example, is a polygamist murderer who talks to every creature he meets like they are his inferiors. I know you are smart enough to know that that is fantasy and not something you could get away with in real life. Please have enough self awareness to realize the same applies to my NPCs to a degree
>>119870The GM didn't exactly have fun witnessing her character be raped to begin with, so the fun factor is non existent to begin with aside from spectators.
>>119871So what? Iron never moved against Cauldron to begin with. If an NPC raped Skies and then Star could potentially get revenge for it then it'd make for a more compelling experience, but the fact that one PC rutted another PC's marefriend and the first PC can't do anything about it, then it's going to cause problems for the first PC's outlook on the game while pretending nothing happened.
>>119872I can see your point. Of course I wouldn't become a polygamist murderer in real life. The issue lies in how Star can never really hit back against Silver for what he did without metagaming to begin with. He's supposed to be a trusted friend, after all. Silver is supposed to be a paragon of good, supporter of Harmony. The rape doesn't really fit him as a character, neither does Skies, being a hardened police mare, letting it happen willy nilly, no matter how much she wants to bond with Silver.
Look. Do you know why the first instance of intercourse between Silver and Blue Skies happened? It happened for two very simple reasons. First, Blue Skies craves affection and affirmation, and so was going to mostly go along with Silver, because she, like so so many real human beings, wants some one to love her. This flaw is too serious serious and unrelatable for you to forgive, you say? Too bad, so sad, moving on.
But even with that I 100% intended for her to stop him at some point, and for the obvious reason that I figured Dark Star’s player wouldn’t like it. But here’s the thing you all really need to understand. Dark Star stopped posting for two whole weeks, in a game that went on literally daily. He dropped off the map. He didn’t post in thread, he never said anything in discord. I had no reason to believe he had not quit. I had no reason to stop a roleplay from happening on behalf of a player who wasn’t here and who didn’t stop it.
You keep saying “why didn’t she stop it?” Well why didn’t Dark Star’s player stop it? If I had known he would still be bitching about it nine fucking months later I would have spayed Skies and nuetured Silver. But I frankly wasn’t even sure he was still playing.
I did not do it to “punish” Star, I did it because Silver pressed it and Star was silent. I am not laughing at him. Nothing about any of this makes me laugh. It makes me frustrated and pisses me off.
>>119874I know. That’s why I am saying we should all just consider it a three party mistake, accept it, and move on rather than dwell on it like it’s the fucking Holocaust or Slavery
I have already heard whining about this shit hundreds of times. Star’s player has already stopped playing so he can brood about it for weeks. I’ve already had a dozen arguments on this subject in thread and in discord. I have already given Star’s player an ultimatum to either get over it or I’m getting rid of the character back in August, and I thought he accepted that. I’m done with this shit. So you’re mad about it? Boo fucking hoo, go whine about it with the Jews about the Holocaust and the Blacks about slavery. It didn’t even fucking happen to you.

>>119874>Silver is supposed to be a paragon of good, supporter of Harmony. The rape doesn't really fit him as a character, neither does Skies, being a hardened police mare, letting it happen willy nilly, no matter how much she wants to bond with Silver.Silver is generally good but not a "paragon" and he was horny especially after reminiscing about his late wife. You might expect loyalty from Skies but it's apparent that she uses ponies for her own means and she was horny particularly after eating crystallized love.
Also, while she's in a formal relationship with Star I get the impression that she respects him less than she does Silver who fits the warrior ethos of her culture more.>>119876This, I guess? I don't see the point in getting so attached to a character that something other than your character dying (which nearly happened several times particularly with Silver) would upset you. Maybe I need to get over my irl responsibilities and finally join the game officially.
>>119877I would like to see you play. What kind of character would you go for if you did?
>>119878Probably a bard-class mare who's just barely underage so if anyone tries lewding her I could call him a creep and appear justified.
>>119879Maybe you can team up with the wandering drunk bard that appears on rare occasions to confuse the party and his foes.
>>119877She doesn’t have less respect for Star, if anything she likes Star more because Star comes closer to sharing her politics while Silver does not. The problem is Star is cold and stand offish while Silver is extremely affectionate to everyone he meets.
>>119879Go on....
I sense the Golly in you

>>119876Oh I know he was absent for weeks on end due to problems outside his control which led him to skip on sessions regularly, but there is a need to communicate these kind of things before it happens.
Funnily enough, that could have been solved with Discord, but it's a drama magnet, amirite?In any case, we agreed on letting go of Skies and letting her live her life yesterday. You decided to escalate the situation to an absurd degree. You only had to wait until it got resolved by a breakup after the mission and move on with your life. Nothing more. Why did you have to submit to irrational impulses and flame up the thread for it?
>>119877Silver literally promised Star to his face he wouldn't abuse his trust with Skies at the bar scene at the third day. I don't know about you, but I figure Silver isn't the one to back away from his promises for some easy coochie.
It's understandable it doesn't affect you. I am simply helping out a fellow player get rid of his hurt feelings as best as I can through some planning to smoothly clear out this hurdle.
>>119881Maybe I'll join in a month after I write half a dozen reports. That'll probably be after the Equestria Rumble™ where everyone fights to the death over Skies.
>>119882I'm guessing from the same reason you are ruining this thread complaining about something that didn't effect you and happened so long ago that I was actually a character with potential. Your ranting is going no where. I suggest you drop it and move on.
>>119884>I was a character with potentialWhat?
It's no rant, I assure you. I simply wanted to help.
>>119885There is no way to help. The situation is long past. There is no way for it to be resolved except by dropping it and moving on. As for the character thing, pay it no mind.
>>119882No.
you agreed to letting go of Skies. In fact, I am pretty sure that if he wanted to do that, it was because you pressured him into doing that. I didn’t agree to any such thing, and you are projecting your own wishes onto me.
I have no obligation to PM anyone on discord for what I do with my own NPCs. At that time, we used discord almost not at all, it was more or less dead. If he wants to get in touch with me, he can post in the thread, and the same goes for all of you.
I didn’t escalate shit. (You) escalated shit by spending hours PMing Star’s player in discord telling him to drop her. Stop pretending like you haven’t and own up to your own actions in this situation.
I gave Star’s player an ultimatum on this same shit back in the beginning of August, when he interrupted my experience of the last Bronycon to complain about Blue Skies and what happened in February. I told him that he either needed to get over it and move on, or I get rid of the character, and there is no third option. He accepted the former. Stop trying to interfere with how I run the game by manipulating other players.
This is none of your business. You do not control Blue Skies. You do not control Silver Sword. You do not control Dark Star. Your character in fact, has no horse in the race. Interfering this much and so insistently out of character on Discord and in the thread is extremely disrespectful and disruptive, and is the kind of behavior that gets players banned.
After Silver rolled his nat 1 in March, you made 5 out of character posts using some combination of “slut” or “whore,” and many others to the sane effect. I understood your opinion then. I assure you it has been duly noted.
>>119883More grad school stuff?
>>119886It's not really. No one really left out satisfied with the results and the issue still prevails even with dropping it. It only passes it to later.
I want to end this nonsense that keeps propping up but never does for some reasons with a clean cut of the relationship that is believable and neutral.
>>119887What makes you believe he wanted to keep going? He's not having fun with her while being his marefriend but likes her character enough to keep her around. Silver is a good candidate for Skies, after all. No need to destroy something just because you don't want Skies to let go of Star. There are other options aside from killing her off.
This, of course, means that you, not wanting to let go, pressured Star into being in his state, not to mention stopping the thread because he doesn't want to keep going.
That is proper escalation. I simply wanted you and Star to bury the hatchet already and stop with this issue once and for all instead of propping up time and time again.
This thread stopping also means I have something to lose if this keeps happening. All of us are forced into a standstill because you can't stand what I'm trying to do out of some paranoid feeling that I want Skies gone forever and die in a ditch or something along those lines.
Let it go, man. Let Star be free of Skies but don't make her vanish. Make it believable and natural. It's a simple request that is easily achievable. She doesn't have to break the relationship. Star can. You don't have to force it.
Spark will continue his search of records to find out what is going on with the sabotage.

>>119939[floofy unicorn pony noises]
>>119940Floofs that unicorn pony.
But could Spark become floofy?
>>119949With proper grooming, sure.
>>119950But where do I go to get the best floof grooming?
>>119951Join the Sweetie Squad so you can be properly groomed into 12-year-old trolls.
Oh, you mean actual grooming?
>>119951Silver would be more than willing to help Spark in his floofy endeavor.
>>119954Interesting. He might take you up on that offer, if he ever gets out of changeling lands.
Spark continues his investigation. He will find those terrorists, whether they are the owners themselves or some other group.
[researching pony noises]
>>120507The answer becomes clear. The sabotage was done by the destructive power of meme faces.
Spark will continue to look for an answer as long as it takes.
We may explore continuing this weekend. It’s too early to tell
>>120517Maybe tomorrow. Still excited.

The day of giving thanks for ponies is almost here.
>>120853What would pony Thanksgiving be called?
>>120857Well, whatever it would be called, have a happy one.
Did everypony have a good Thanksgiving?
>>120928No, but thanks for asking.
>>120930I'm in the hardest stretch of uni currently, meaning I haven't had time to go out with friends or anything. It's not all bad, I much prefer a busy Thanksgiving over a busy Christmas. I hope everyone else has had a good time.
