It's hard for me to see why certain game staff think their behavior is justifiable.
In regards to an incident with an immortal on May 30th, 9pm EST with a character named Arapaho.
I made a char with a borderline name, they telled me in regard to changing it, I was reluctant to do so and argued in favor of keeping it, they argued back. They made some minor personal attacks on me. Then I asked if I could change it to be similar, and they abruptly changed it without input into a name with a letter removed that was of a completely different cultural influence, thus ruining it's RP. I then brought this to their attention and they seemed to be considering leaving the name as is, but then gave me this option... You have 5 minutes to think of a new name. I took 10. This was purely due to the difficulty of coming up with a good name, and not due to any lack of regard for her request. I sent up numerous prays to no answer. Eventually as I took my entreatment to the newbie channel, she revoked and told me she wasn't going to change it to the name I came up with and that I would have to abandon the character of several hours and significant attachment I had if I wanted a name that was appropriate for my RP. The reason for this was to "teach me a lesson". What was this lesson? To not argue with game admins? If that were truly this imm's intent, they would have simply said "shut up or delete", though a slightly reprehensible approach, problem solved. Instead of that being the case, they decided to ruin my character in punishment for debating with them, which their very engagement in deemed okay. I thought it particularly messed up how this person said "Good luck!" And "I wish you well!" after ruining my character/denying me. It's pretty obviously a vindictive power trip and it seems to have it's root in a profoundly antisocial attitude within this individual, which I suspect has strong influence on other admins. The well that is the continuance of CF is tainted by people like this, and is the reason CF is withering.
It's hard to see the group which this person belongs to not supporting her, but maybe deep down you'll see, perhaps when CF is empty.
Dick suckers and trolls will also nominally support her, but maybe deep down they will see even if they don't admit it.
Farewell, CF- you'll be all but empty by next year with the way things are going.
