I loved only what you once were

John_Oxford · Tue Jan 10, 2023 12:48 am

Nearly a decade has passed.

viewtopic.php?f=34&t=32447

I based an entire satirical persona around telling you what would happen, I wrote paragraph after paragraph, meticulously crafting such a lengthy and obfuscated web of nuanced interpersonal relationships in hopes that the collective group of you would become aware of the slow internal rot you were facing. The joy you felt that you feel no more, the high you're chasing of rounds played long ago, on stations long since abandoned, with features long since removed, all washed away to the blistering sandstorm of cultural degeneracy.

You have befallen a horrible fate, yet you are not responsible, I am.

I could have said more, perhaps even done more, perhaps even appealed to more masses, been slightly less derisive, giving me the ability to score the ever so slightly higher vote count necessary to secure the headminship.

I could have done more, and I failed you, and for that I am eternally sorry. I can only hope that the shell of what you once were can find its way back to the light.

the extreme you're commenting about is not helped by posting another extreme circumstance (your piece de resistance, the /tg/ constitution)

I'm not sure how you could have ever imagined people able to construct such a large web of commitments with each other

honestly as someone who has been here for a good while: the side that you're arguing for seems almost laughable

I was way too nice to respecting the opinions of people who are bigoted during my headminship, honestly we've improved as a server if you're using this appeal as an example.

A bit dramatic but not wrong. There has been a huge slow but steady culture shift. Mass forum bans are just a symptom of that.

I’m sorry I’m not reading that
thread be looking like the entirety of US law with starsector lore included

edit: nevermind I read it

All events that are created, must be ran through the council to be approved.

1984

Once a complaint is made, the affiliated admin is deadmin'd untill the complaint is resolved.

1984

Any sign of corruption determined by the council or players, will be investigated by the council.

sounds like 1984

If the decission is reached, in favor of the banned player, the player is unbanned, and compensated with a cool, non protective hat for one round.

oh cool free hat

there are consequences for saying the nword

sinfulbliss · Post by **sinfulbliss** » Thu Jan 19, 2023 7:15 pm #662341

First they came for the N-word, and I did not speak out - because I was not an N-word.
Then they came for the F-word, and I did not speak out - because I was not an F-word.
Then they came for autism, and I did not speak out - because I was not an autism.
Then they came for aspie, and I did not speak out - because I was not an aspie.
Then they came for me - and there was no one left to speak for me.

sinfulbliss · Post by **sinfulbliss** » Thu Jan 19, 2023 7:28 pm #662342

no one "wants to say the n-word," people want to be able to call someone an aspie when they deserve to be called an aspie

imagine walking up to a pharmacist IRL to ask for an aspirin and they immediately say,

Code: Select all

11:09:30	SAY	TheSmokealarm/(Nathan Lowestone) "WERE NOT ATTENDING"	(119, 108, 3)	Pharmacy
11:09:34	SAY	TheSmokealarm/(Nathan Lowestone) "GO FUCK YOURSELF"	(119, 108, 3)	Pharmacy
11:09:43	SAY	TheSmokealarm/(Nathan Lowestone) "LEAVE"	(119, 108, 3)	Pharmacy
11:09:55	SAY	TheSmokealarm/(Nathan Lowestone) "FUCKING LEAVE"	(120, 108, 3)	Pharmacy
11:10:00	SAY	TheSmokealarm/(Nathan Lowestone) "I DONT WANT YOU HERE"	(120, 108, 3)	Pharmacy
11:10:08	SAY	TheSmokealarm/(Nathan Lowestone) "FUCK OFF!!"	(120, 108, 3)	Pharmacy
11:10:31	SAY	TheSmokealarm/(Nathan Lowestone) "fucking cunt"

so you call them an aspie. checks out to me. our hero Nathan then went on to ICK OCK to rage at Crag:

Code: Select all

11:21:53	OOC	TheSmokealarm/(Nathan Lowestone) "im going thru a genuine mental breakdown, fuck me"	(117, 108, 3)	Pharmacy
11:22:06	OOC	TheSmokealarm/(Nathan Lowestone) "i get triggered easily"	(117, 108, 3)	Pharmacy
11:22:15	OOC	TheSmokealarm/(Nathan Lowestone) "i know this will be ic ooc"	(117, 108, 3)	Pharmacy
11:22:19	OOC	TheSmokealarm/(Nathan Lowestone) "fuck it"	(117, 108, 3)	Pharmacy
11:22:22	OOC	TheSmokealarm/(Nathan Lowestone) "i wont say it"	(117, 108, 3)	Pharmacy
11:22:31	OOC	TheSmokealarm/(Nathan Lowestone) "i need one"	(117, 108, 3)	Pharmacy
11:22:40	OOC	TheSmokealarm/(Nathan Lowestone) "fucking cunt called me a slur"	(117, 108, 3)	Pharmacy
11:22:49	OOC	TheSmokealarm/(Nathan Lowestone) "ive got fucking aspergers"	(117, 108, 3)	Pharmacy

11:23:10	OOC	TheSmokealarm/(Nathan Lowestone) "FUCK YOU"	(117, 108, 3)	Pharmacy
11:23:14	OOC	TheSmokealarm/(Nathan Lowestone) "FUCK YOU"	(117, 108, 3)	Pharmacy

but that ain't no big deal - gotta protect unrepentant socially inept shitters from hearing the no-no word! that comes first in administration.
tossing rule 1 in there for good measure for Crag "being too mean in OOC." at least this would only happen on manny

i don't call lowestone a sperg or an aspie anymore i just call him "mentally slowestone" whenever he does something stupid (every round) and he spends the rest of the round trying to round remove me because he is LITERALLY 12 YEARS OLD and the useless admin team won't do anything about it
