I grew up. I was a troll years ago when I was a kid and I don't think I was a bully even then except to you. Honestly your attitude here seems so hateful I don't know why I'm responding but I don't know what multiple mails you're referring to or what I wanted/needed from them, I've sent you one I think? I sent you and one other person an apology because you two were pretty much the two people I felt I had mistreated over the years. Also Isavij but they aren't around anymore. The fact that you're referring to an apology and humbling myself in the attempt to make amends as simpering is honestly a little baffling and I think you might be a little caught up in weird power dynamics or something.

Hey I'll even post the mail publicly since you're going to try to misrepresent me.
Hi,

Will keep this short because I know you don't have any particularly good feelings towards me, and well, maybe you don't care anyway..

I'd just like to apologize for some of the things I've said to you in the past. Not to TMI you, but I was angry and resentful and depressed and other messy things, for a lot of reasons that had nothing to do with the MUD. I was immature so I poured those feelings into the MUD in certain ways. I was often rude to you and behaved annoyingly just to aggravate you.. I don't think it's right to treat anyone that way and I'm sorry that I did.

Hope you're well,
Krul

Big reason why this place is dung. The whole "it's only 10 people" thing is bullshit, wotmud is full of trolls and there are less and less nice people around. There's absolutely no reason why I should play this game over literally any other game including tetris or firetrucking frogger when logging on to wotmud means that I might get randomly called a a small bundle of twigs, commonly used for fuel and mocked for being offended by the slur, or when you have posts like Masaj trolling Alaina with a fake apology, regardless of who Alaina is, and there is no one to step in and stop the bullying.
Checking these forums means you still care, or have aspirations for the general situations or problems that cause you not to want to play to improve (to what degree of care I'm uncertain, but you do), but then only to discover that nothing has changed nor possibly ever will. :lol:

P.S. Miss you, Krul.

Masaj wrote:Oh man, Krul is a moral authority on not bullying and trolling now. That's great. Why is it always the biggest a small cat called Nigel who end up having the most righteous indignation? It's like clockwork. Like, do you even recall the simpering little mails you sent me apologizing when your years of trolling blew up in your face when you eventually wanted/needed something? Good thing I wasn't playing much at the time, I'm sure you wouldn't have liked my response there either.

Also - someone did step in. Alaina had a real issue seeing the "'c-word!!!!" spelled out (even when it was not referring to her as that -- literally just the word and mocking her use of "c-word") and someone made a pretty hilarious forum filter for it. I don't know anyone else who has gotten such direct attention to their need to be babied about a certain word that strikes the perfect balance of being extremely offensive but does not have a historically hateful connotation.
It was someone directly relating that C word to Alaina which upset her. The repercussions weren't known to the offender of such word, likely washed over by now. I had someone swear at me years and years ago, although I doubt they personally thought me a bad person. Sometimes its a bad day etc, but I have learnt the hard way to leave that crap away from the game. It isn't always easy to do, especially with some people riling others up and wanting to see reactionary comments.
You just have to know the other person must be having it bad, and your life is much better than insulting each other in game. People have tempers and also get pushed too far then all #hellmud breaks loose.

I commend Krul for admitting his faults, wasn't aware of them. So why should you ridicule him now? This thread is , about rebuilding the game or whatnot. Sometimes flames aren't needed to feel good about yourself.

Yea I've been here most of my life, I care a lot, I love the world and some of my best memories here are actually new ones just enjoying the roleplay of it, but I don't think I can really participate anymore. I can log on and just rent if anyone who I know will create problems is online or put them on ignore but why go through the mental and emotional gymnastics for it all and go into a hostile game space when there are a bunch of other worlds I'm also interested in that don't carry that?

If I knew who you were I would probably say miss you too :P

Lol. I can potentially host a mafia if people want me to and tell me what type of mafia they want and don't mind if I'm a firetrucking slacker about it.

Any mafia you want! It doesn't have to be complicated. We can do a basic mafia to get back into the swing of things :D

Well I was thinking along the lines of WoT themed, which is the route we normally go, but I'm not married to the idea so if everyone else is cool with a different theme or just a vanilla mafia, I'm perfectly happy with that too :)
