textbook ST response to anyone saying anything about lore. "this is completely wrong lmao what an idiot" while providing no criticism, explanation, or feedback. i'm sure he is wrong but would it kill you to take an approach other than mocking condescension?

Old Mara sat in her cushioned chair sucking lungfuls of smoke and smiled while she chewed at the briar root between her lips. She chewed and smiled and read the missive and smiled some more and saw it fit to remark to the dark, empty room, her words laced with venom. "Pray that the emperor culls every last one of these dogs, and the macecatchers next. I pray that he does." Bony hands folded the parchment with, placed it on the table beside her and drew up the blanket which sat on her lap. She closed her eyes and laid her pipe beside her, drifted away to a life that once was.

i am both gay and trans irl. The rule is obviously well-intentioned, and some types of this rp (for instance using rp as an outlet for OOC bigotry, or saying slurs) should be banned. But I don't think that transphobia and homophobia should be outright banned irp. I personally enjoy rping in socially conservative places: most of my characters are gay in a society that is not openly tolerant of homosexuality, and that's part of their story and what makes them interesting to me. I think people should be allowed to roleplay characters who are prejudiced, as long as they are doing so maturely and understanding that the prejudice makes their character a villain. I welcome this as a rule banning irp prejudice as a mouthpiece for ooc prejudice, but I am a little sad to see more limits on the types of stories that can be told on this medium.

Your opening words to Unwillingly are "I have an update/proposal I hope you'll be agreeable to so that we can just focus on the roleplay when determining an outcome." You made an entirely OOC proposal and you made it clear that your RP response to the negotiations would be dependent on Unwillingly's OOC answer to your proposal. When Unwillingly says "I'd prefer to just navigate this irp" you reply with "I will not be able to clearly consider this in RP without an answer to the mechanical outcome." You later attempt to guilt-trip Unwillingly by suggesting that if they does not consider your proposal, they will appear to be perceived as "wanting to **** over and destroy a community." It's completely audacious of you to tell me "I was just trying to gain clarity" when that's directly contradicted by the screenshots included in your own post. You were not "just trying to gain clarity." You were lobbying over discord for a specific, mechanical outcome that would have a benefit to your nation, and we all know that if a regular player did this they would be banned for metaplay in a heartbeat.

metaplay enforcement is a complete and utter joke when the admins are acting as nation leaders and messaging other NLs OOCly and pushing "proposals." This is the exact kind of behavior you all specifically outlined as metaplay! What kind of message does it send to the community when admins are freely engaging in what they ban players for, only acknowledging it once they've been caught? You all praised hogo for stepping down when he found out he was in proximity to metaplay, where's that energy for the admin actively committing it?

A specter's wail carried through the land on a cold northern wind. It wept for butchering of its Way. It wept for the ignorant, for the blind. It wept for the mortals, who would be banished to malefic realms by these so-called "Darkreavers." It wept bitterly for its failure, for it's powerlessness to stop the usurpers of its creed.

the thing that is most displeasing to me about this situation is that I've been given a broad ban for "metaplay" with no communication of what the SPECIFIC acts of metaplay committed were. Players were given between 2 weeks and 3 months ban, while other players didn't get banned at all- so clearly, each case has its own individual factors that contributed to the ban and ban length. We should know what the rationale was for these decisions! I personally am still guessing at why I've been banned at all, and especially why I've been banned for 3 months. If admins are serious about wanting to stop metaplay on the server, they need to start being transparent about what counts as metaplay so that people can learn from it.
