>really enjoying all the $20 words
Really? Are you enjoying the .20c excuses? Are you enjoying where some players bombard GM with shite and then fuck off when theyve had their fun? Cuz thats what just happened. One player got all the attention, pissed off GM and fucked off leaving everyone with their thumb up their asses.

While I have y'all's undivided attention, anyone care to take a guess what the operating issue here is? Anyone? You? No?
Addiction.
The game - especially for GM - is EXTREMELY dopamine-generating. Its Dope addiction.

You're fine, just working out some kinks.

No, not really. Besides the comment about my exceptional faggotry. Duh, have you seen stallions? Especially that Thunderlane fella.

We were playing last night? I said I couldn't stay up late. I thought I gave permission to RP without me. I'm sick, sicker than usual.

Sadly, no. I gave an explanation last night after you went to bed, and since then it's just been the usual.

I would put Lacey/Lucky as pure sex appeal,... but the idea is the daughter, the woman, the mother
I would put Lacey/Lucky as pure sex appeal,... but the idea is the daughter, the woman, the mother
So then, to start things off, let me describe what it APPEARED happened last night. I'll be assessing my perspective and what I intuit to be GM's.
Friday, we didnt play. Why? By his admission, because Posey got distracted until another player had to leave.
Saturday is entirely on me with one exception: when the group cant play, its kinda fucked up to play with your side characters, cuz that only delays when we can play. I fell asleep waiting for initiative, and better believe Id have gotten a shot of adrenaline if it had happened.
In any case, in the aftermath of combat GM prompts me to do a search and I get a nat 20.
Gm says "Ill go over this tomorrow".
Now, I wont say I didnt post plenty; it would be inconsistent of me to NOT at this point. But in the early afternoon when all players declarrd availablility except for Posey, it was determined that since Posey couldnt play later that they could rp and do stuff during the afternoon. And so he and Silver got catered to for hours, virtually without interruption, while everyone else waited for GM to finish with you and then continue.
After all. it was fine playing without me, right? Right!
But then, at the end, the ONE time GM says "no" specific to the camera and potential loot, Posey decides to cop an ungreatful and contemptible posture about not getting enough, what GM has struggled to present is whatever and disposable, and basically sour GM's experience sp that no one got to play.
Now, from MY perspective, its ALMOST like Posey was okay with me not playing, but wouldnt suffer NOT playing.
Meanwhile, GM who has dealt with the most incredible group of autistic assholes ever, bending over backwards and inside and out to try and be both reasonable but also firm. As I said, DnD is a hell of a drug. Theres so much neuro chemistey going on, its incomparable really. But its an intensive labor. To do that WHILE tard wrangling for the last month (that Ive been party to) while juggling real life and everything and then have the player youre trying expressly to please for hours basically spit in your face,... yeah. I think he held it together better than I would.

In conclusion:
Was it malice? Honestly, probably not. I want to think so sure, but no its probable that it was just blatant disregard and a lack of consideration for GM, and the other players. After all, if it was important for GM to at LEAST feel validated, then one might think he would be if so minimally as to not shit in his cereal after he has just presented you with bowl after bowl after bowl.
P.S. Why isnt Stix playing?

Now, Im omitting a whole lot of past data that paints a MUCH less appetizing picture, and which removes any question of a pattern,... but we dont need to go there do we?
I was being honest about not being able to doxx, but dont forget how long Ive been paying attention, and how many behaviors a ive seen some of you display. Its still archived in all these threads. ^,_,~

>What does Vir look like by the way?
One day I might be able to draw her for you but as of right now I can only describe her. I might do that later. In short Didn't get short anyway. ^^ she's a bigger than average mare with concentrated muscles on her body. Big trunk. *blush* White fur and wine-gummy (at least I think it was) mane and tail which had golden metal bars used as hairbands for many small bums. Wears tan cloak with two depictions of Celestia's cutie mark, one on the hood and one on the back.

Pointing fingers and causing drama is the LAST thing anypony needs, especially the GM Pone.
Unfortunately he is the only one who should be digging into all of this, but it slows the game down more than anything (much more than sudden naps and playing with side characters!)
>Meanwhile, GM who has dealt with the most incredible group of autistic assholes ever, bending over backwards and inside and out to try and be both reasonable but also firm.
Frankly, I don't know how he does it.
>>185438
Very cute! Is her cutie mark a human nun on fire?
If you want to visualize her easily you can look up GeneralZhoi's pony creator. It was used to make references for Amber Sunset and Dark Star.

Lets see,... the green haired gunslinger (name escapes) and Sonata Deline (So Not Adeline), a preliminary monk build with Addy's developing personality (still 'new') and Arizona's visuals.
I liked the Eberron campaign, and I observed an inherent desire to extend a,... not fatherly or brotherly,... but idk uncle-y (not the creepy uncle) way to the alchemist girl. I was sad when B3w8 decided to fuck the party fighting a brass dragon cuz there might have been loot. Huh, sounds familiar.

The same you're doing now. Insisting that a player was a miserable pile of it and they were why I didn't want to continue the campaign. No, I had legitimate scheduling issues at the time, but you wanted to assume malice and assume Ash's player had made me want to not run. I ended the game cause I got sick of this story and game I wanted to experience with my friends turning into a dramafest, cause that seems to be all DnD ever ends up being when I play.
Good night sir

That's not what happened and you and I both know it. That player made a reasonable decision based on my descriptions and you quit the game on the spot over it.

Oh, thats very much what happened. The player who spent all the game bitching about challenges and wanting to build make and do all the things, when we were facing the boss said "nah,... maybe theres loot down this hallway".
>>185445
I didnt say they were the reason you didnt want to continue, I said thats when they ruined it for me as a player, with 0 fucks to give cuz why should he? Its not like roleplaying is a shared story or anything.

Your grudges are old enough to be in kindergarten. Please leave them behind you and try to take MLP's friendship lessons to heart. Give each other the benefit of the doubt instead of accusing each other of ruining the game.

If you really think it was deliberately sabotaged, you should privately tell GM Pone about it and never publicly accuse other players. This goes for meatworld games and online games. I personally don't think it was sabotaged; instead it's autistic miscommunications and longstanding grudges causing actual damage.

You guys really only give the benefit of the doubt to one person in this thing, despite years' worth of counter examples. It is pretty frustrating.

I thought you all preferred anonymity here. Regardless, I wasn't cryptic. I am very clear. You are only showing the player Posey benefit of the doubt despite years' worth of examples that this is an actual problem. This isn't the first time this has happened, and you are pretending it is.

The main problem is a failure of communication. We need to learn as a group to give everyone the benefit of the doubt and not jump to the immediate worst conclusion, or this will keep happening over and over again.

I do not care about this feigned neutrality you have going on. There is no giving everyone the benefit when there is clearly someone you are saying is innocent and one person that is going too far. Just directly say it. You think Posey is doing things fine and Brie is not. This is retarded but at least state it.

There's nothing feigned about it, it's a fact. We are all autistic here to some degree, we need to remember that and realize that sometimes how something appears isn't how it actually is in reality.

1) This is a game and bringing in outside drama is undesirable. Speaking from my own opinion, I don't think players should be barred or lambasted for outside behavior problems as long as they genuinely try to keep them under control here. Haven't we extended this courtesy to Brie's player too?
2) I for one don't know about said examples despite being an oldfag from 2017, and I don't think you should expect others to know either. I looked up Sonata Deline and Adeline and they're characters from Ancap's campaign and Mixed Nuts, neither of which I read through. You keep bringing up tidbits of the deepest lore from those games but I don't know anything about them and I don't think GM Pone does either.
3) These games ended years ago back when Occupied Equestria was still young. I am a very different person from what I was back then and it's fair to give someone a chance to demonstrate character growth. Holding onto grudges is the opposite of that.

No, that is not the implication. GM Pone has made it clear that he doesn't want drama in his thread and if you have any concerns you should reach out to him privately. Is Posey's player doing things perfectly fine? I don't want to make that claim. Is Brie's player causing trouble now by dredging up drama? Yes, and I want it to stop.
It's not about sides. It's about keeping a healthy atmosphere around this game so new and existing players aren't scared away by all the infighting. If they're scared away we don't have a game anymore. Simple as.

It is feigned because you are pretending things are equal in a situation where it isn't. Posey has repeatedly done these exact things that piss people off and here you are saying that it is a failure to communicate. No. It is direct action that is causing this. You saying that it is actually everyone's fault is not correct. Yes, independent of this situation people have each done things wrong. That is irrelevant to this problem.

This isn't just some drama. It is game ending behavior coming from Posey that will eventually crash and burn this whole thing just as it has been known to happen before. If you can't be willing to hear this out, you deserve what is coming because this is not some shit that doesn't impact you. This will directly ruin your game, and you will be personally effected.

A particular favorite, and very cliche. Andrew Tate is slinging this one after hundreds of millions in casinos and wecam whores. Everyone wants to have changed after they did the deed.
But they did! And Diddy did. But, the point here is that youre never a different person from then. You may want to think it, you can argue its not true on a cellular-regenerative level, but you're always a later version.
>but that version is different
Yours may be, his doesnt appear so

Then why don't you write up a list of specific and documented examples to send to GM Pone by private means, instead of playing Town of Salem in the OOC thread? My argument (and presumably Silver's player's) has never been "stick your head in the sand" but instead "don't muddy up our game with public accusations and attacks."
We probably won't get any more progress on the game tonight because of this unfortunately, because having to deal with a thread full of drama usually gets GM Pone out of the mood. What you're doing is personally affecting me too, so don't expect me to be sympathetic. I also can't help but suspect you of being Brie's player with a VPN, considering >>185464 is his post with a different ID.
>>185472
>WHY it persists is because the potentiating behaviors persist. Like last night
Last night had several players complaining, including yourself, with Posey's player's post just being the most grating. I don't consider it a malicious or manipulative post because Posey's player has always been open about favoring loot and fast progression over atmosphere, which is at odds with the GM Pone's view of the campaign. The way it was worded just made it seem dismissive which was a disappointment to him.
>Brie's player is on record with GM as to what he has going on. Do u wanna know?
No because I don't want this information to be public.
>That was me while at walmart
That answers that.
>Oh, no dredging, its just been underfoot where people have kept it
Yes, it's better underfoot than overt because nothing good can come of these arguments. Your assumption of malice and citing of grudges against Posey's player won't end because it's apparent your end goal is to get him kicked from the game. GM Pone clearly doesn't want that and if you're in private correspondence with him then your evidence isn't strong enough to convince him. By starting public drama you're either trying to force Posey's player into defending himself (which makes the drama worse) or to manipulate the other players against him. I oppose what you're doing.
I will leave it at that because this entire argument will be deleted which is the best thing GM Pone could do in these circumstances. I was looking forward to a possible session but I hope you're happy with yourself for ruining that chance.

Yes, it's better underfoot than overt because nothing good can come of these arguments. Your assumption of malice and citing of grudges against Posey's player won't end because it's apparent your end goal is to get him kicked from the game. GM Pone clearly doesn't want that and if you're in private correspondence with him then your evidence isn't strong enough to convince him. By starting public drama you're either trying to force Posey's player into defending himself (which makes the drama worse) or to manipulate the other players against him. I oppose what you're doing.
I will leave it at that because this entire argument will be deleted which is the best thing GM Pone could do in these circumstances. I was looking forward to a possible session but I hope you're happy with yourself for ruining that chance.

>better underfoot
Thats been the problem the whole time. Unaddressed shit, and pretending to be nice and all so all could keep playing. Would that it could have, but Posey picked the wrong nigger. Here we are

This last weekend was only ever likely to have one encounter. I had one planned, and then from that point would look and see to what the Players did or chose to do. There were/are after battle actions that require downtime, and that would have prevented a second encounter.
Scheduling issues are and have been a consistent issue. Every time it looks like we have everyone together, oh no, Garv is out. Or Dust is out. Or floof is out. Or Posey is out. Or you are out. This is besides me having family matters and a job. It's not uncommon for us to not be able to play because of scheduling issues.
Also, three out of five players in the Mended Horn group were/are physically ill over the weekend. That's not a small matter.
To be honest, I don't think you managed your time perfectly either. On Friday, you were the one who called it early. On Saturday, while I think the hold up was that we were waiting on floof, you had like six hours to declare an action on the surprise round and I never got a clear and firm answer. And then on Sunday, I don't know if we've ever had a full encounter on a Sunday. I go to church, go to eat with my parents for lunch, and do other things. I had to work today and most people here either had to work today or were too sick to work today. So very little happened on Sunday. Yes, Posey's player offended me on Sunday, and because of it I stepped away and played Stellaris while watching Dragon Age: Veilguard hate reviews, and the same thing on Thursday.
But could you like... Not make 50 posts talking about how much you hate Posey? Can we leave the drama behind, step away for however long, and get on with things?

I already have made a list and told him. Last I checked, I never came out and told you guys this until you all are deciding to team up against the one guy that is trying to tell you, and you are pretending he is insane for stating the obvious.
>talking for someone else
>don't muddy
Then don't further fling mud by pretending you are not getting involved by directly getting involved here. For fuck sake, you are not being neutral by saying one person is directly wrong and to shut up about it.
>What you are doing is personally affecting me too
How is me saying you are heading towards a cliff affect you? Do you want the joy of experiencing that freefall without the foreknowledge? I really hate that you have clearly deluded yourself by thinking anyone that points out a problem is your enemy in this.
>don't expect me to be sympathetic
I didn't because I can tell you have none from how you are handling this. Neither do I want whatever brand of sympathy you have to offer if this is how you behave.
>I must be Brie with a VPN
Clearly when I am faced with information that disagrees with me, I must be facing the one person I already have written off. How about you ask someone on staff to confirm I am not Brie because of my post history. Lotus can directly back that up, or Elway if you want someone completely non-biased.

No shit. I waited to be available for a game that pops off at random. It seemed about to.pop off any moment. Maybe if a greater degree of limitation were placed on other players trying to nudge their characters forward, such that players who try to wait patiently get neglected and discarded, ask Stix, can NOT feel neglected and discarded,....

You are really doubling down on this. First of all, I trust the GM to have a handle on it. Clearly you do not, because you expect us all to suddenly yell at him to kick Posey from the game and accept nothing less. I find your behavior unhinged and founded upon personal grudges which makes me less inclined to believe anything you say. Maybe I should backread all the Mixed Nuts threads to unentangle years-old personal beef, but is it really worth my time to do that? I would much rather make character sheets for when my characters level up, or roleplay as one of my two characters in the game. I don't like it when anypony keeps me from doing that.

You are right. It doesn't have to do with it. I did something that Brie can't do to prove I am not the same person. Anyone can use two different names and still be a samefag. I just blew the allegations out of the water before they got worse.

Clearly, he didn't. He wanted to discredit me to at least himself if not others reading the thread, thinking that no one else knew either.
Like I already said, I have made these things clear to the GM. He is free to do or not do whatever. However, I am free to all you all retards for ganging up on someone that is in the right, despite coming across as rude to you. Posey has ruined the games I have been in before and if that offends you, sorry. I would have stayed quiet, but it is maddening to see all of you unite behind the wrong person in this fight, because it will not end well for the game and it will do everything you are accusing Brie of doing, kicking someone from the game because of a disagreement.

I don't blame you for doing that. However this is an OOC thread for a DnD game, not a courtroom. Backing up a player's allegations against another player for something that happened years ago is helpful if it were a private conversation with the GM. It's not, it's public airing of grudges to accuse a player of "sabotaging" an ongoing game. Could we just not do that?

>My argument (and presumably Silver's player's) has never been "stick your head in the sand" but instead "don't muddy up our game with public accusations and attacks."
You might be completely right on everything you say about Posey, past and present. GM Pone has put his hoof down on that he doesn't want this game to be filled with drama and fighting, and (presumably) instead you should just give him all this information in private. I happen to agree with him on that. Would my inner gossipmonger enjoy reading all the juicy details that some internet autists have on each other? Sure, I guess. But I'd rather have one place on this website where I don't have to worry about politics or drama and where I can just play tabletop with cute ponies.
tl;dr if you're worried about a player or another ruining the game then tell GM Pone about it, if you're right and he does nothing then that's on him but otherwise just play the game

At first yes. GM pone was upset when you agreed with the mission being shortened (though he seems to be doing better, at least on the outside), didn't want to continue after that, and Brie's player is mad that he stayed up to play and nothing came of it.
Something tells me you don't actually want the mission shortened, you just want to be able to level up and get money for a cool necromancer level.

Your post last night >>185320 obviously disappointed the GM Pone and discouraged him from participating the rest of the night, but as far as I can gather the accusation is that you deliberately worded it to ruin the game for him. This is singled out among a number of posts by other players expressing some measure of dissatisfaction, and is one of two posts quoted directly by the GM Pone when he was evidently upset.

I was considering telling you at the time to not drink the energy posts and I should have. Saying goodnight is something most of us neglect anyway, and there have been multiple times where I played late into the night and stayed up an extra half hour awaiting another post from the GM.

I don't care if the mission is shortened or not. Killing things is fun. Getting paid is fun. I just want to advance my character and the story.
I saw someone, I think it was GM, suggest shortening it, so I said I was fine with it if it happened. PbP sometimes get streamlined for scheduling reasons; no harm in that if it's necessary. I'm pretty sure we only have a more encounters left in the XP budget for this adventuring day anyway though, so we might as well just do it all. Either is fine for me. Squash some xenos. I could do it all day.
>>185521
I am sick. I passed out last night. I slept most of today. As soon as I am better, I am going to have to do overtime every single day this week.
You can go ahead and play without me if you wish. Posey can't even talk to the NPCs, so she's basically just an attack turret for combat.
I don't even care if she's severely wounded, but I would prefer it if she doesn't die.

Exactly what I thought, it was all a matter of misunderstandings and communication failures. Again, I hope you get better soon, Posey! Same goes for everyone else who's sick right now.

Anypony would be cranky in those circumstances. I can see why you would blame Posey but you could blame Floofernoodle just as much for what happened.
>>185528
I don't think you picked up on it, but it was a rhetorical question along the lines of "I worked hard on this mission, the encounters, and the setting, do you really want me to rush through it?" and your response was "Yes." It doesn't surprise me that you responded with such since you are focused on different aspects of the campaign, but that answer still took the wind out of his sails because it felt like his hard work was unappreciated.
