Event: Harry Potter and the Festival of Friendship

[Ballpit]

Really enjoyed the event, even if I couldn’t be too active in it! I brought in one of my IRL nerd friends who doesn’t play NS, but he was telling me how much he genuinely enjoyed the event, especially the trivia.

"Tim's cosplay"

More like memorabilia/emergency Halloween costume

What a great festival, though! Huge congrats to Escade for making it happen, seemingly near single-handedly!

(hai Tim)

I do want to highlight how much behind the scenes work went into this, while I hosted the majority of events, I had a team of planners from each of our host regions provide inestimable help such as the over 100 trivia questions from easy to hard mode that were all put together by this team, or each region providing the time turner quest information\links\access as well as a ton of ideas from this team and those from last year's team.

Plus the artists and writers who helped with a ton of other things and the admin team on this who helped deal with behind the scenes issues as they cropped up (from small things like trivia question quibbles, to points allocations, to the tougher things).

Really enjoyed the event, even if I couldn’t be too active in it! I brought in one of my IRL nerd friends who doesn’t play NS, but he was telling me how much he genuinely enjoyed the event, especially the trivia.

Glad to hear (and rearding timing last year's survey had players suggest this time as ideal and this year we had summer being suggested lol so we shall see) and it was interesting there were a few players from non GP circles and I'm glad they had fun too!

You have been politely asked in a Discord DM to stay away and yet this nonsense continues unabated. You, and others of your ilk, are not and will never be welcome in any project that I am working on. Please cease and desist from any forms of contact or communication on any venue or platform immediately.

Saint Block:

Both Tim and Escade have made it clear that you are not welcome to speak to them in any forum, to include the NS forums. It would be advisable for you to cease this behavior, at once.

Excuse me? Where did she do that besides the post above? And was I even speaking to her directly? Pretty sure I wasn’t. How is this trolling? Pretty sure I was on topic. Any forum? Do you have jurdistiction on every forum that I share with them? What? Where does Tim play into all this? I’m completely taken off guard here. No clue what brought this on. Sounds like mods as weapons.

It's become really impossible to even deal with these sort of issues. I, like the majority of the NSGP community (on Discord ) have made it clear that we do not wish to associate with you. Several players on this site have asked you to cease and desist and yet you continue to post.

This saddens me for two reasons. First I had recently been contemplating something someone said to me over Discord, about a different player, which was "If he had committed this crime in real life his sentence would already be over," and trying to think through redemption for players who made mistake that were not OOC heinous. Your behavior though consistently proves those that say there should be no second chances given are proven to be correct.

If the message above isn't clear, you or anyone of your ilk, is not welcome in any projects or threads I am running. If you continue to post it is out of contempt which is all some people have sadly.
