I am dissapointed in the TG for several reasons. One I met Xoriet when I was new to the game and she has been an excellent mentor and friend. Of all the things she could have tried to manipulate me into doing, she's done none of them. So the baseless accusation is bewildering. I remember very well those who have tried to use me and those that have not and believe me that list of actual manipulators will be forever etched in memory.
Halo Rahl has been nothing but the kindest person to me and others. In an OOC way I have great respect for Neenee and have talked to her in the past about stressful RL stuff and appreciated her voice. The others on the TG I have not interacted with as much but feel are also respectable players of the game. So I continue to be highly surprised at the TG because I don't understand the motivations behind it or why it was worded that way. Or like why players don't communicate better with each other.
We as a community are trying to get better about the lines we sometimes cross. Lines that blur between IC and OOC, lines that cross good taste and judgement. Whether you look at that TG personally and think, "irony is strong here," or look at it on a political level and think, "what a waste of capital and potential" it continues to be mind-boggling.
Please TWP, you're better than this. Every day I look at the server avatar change and learn something new. This was just a low blow and uncouth.
