Kimi i missed that but god bless your prayers were the only reason i survived

AND TYSM YOU GUYS 3: i'm glad people are understanding and i didn't blow my entire argument out by saying the FUckword 300 times holy hell i barely remember typing it that much i was too madIDKLNADSLKN SIGH Q>Q sry

THOUGH BECAUSE EVERN POINTED OUT, I DEF GOTTA SAY it wasn't just me they brought up in a negative light so i wasn't singled out SOLELY as a stain on the community. the judgement spans far i tell you what, and they had a lot of varying opinions about many people and tef in general
but the fact that i was called out by name again was the final sorta sTrAW in a few rounds that had me going so far as to say something

Some lil word of my personal

Some lil word of my personal supporting you Ka, because everything has already been said. You had enough courage to speak out about all shit that people were spreading about you, and it's right step from your side, it must be stopped because it's nothing but absurdity, we all know. But we all aren't really protected from such things like spreading false rumours about us, unfortunately, any society's got such individuals, even in our daily life. And it's really sad to realize that such themes are still arising within TEFc. Anyway, just stay strong no matter what Ka, because the truth is still on your side.

Wish you strength in overcoming this. <3

I'm so incredibly appalled. I

I'm so incredibly appalled.
I can't believe people are this hateful.

So much love for you, even if we don't really much anymore. ;;

Only those people matter..I hope those other bitter people will stop bothering you.

3: TY AGAIN EVERYONE SIGH.

3: TY AGAIN EVERYONE SIGH. TBH I EXPECTED THIS TO BE MOSTLY ILL RECEIVED if only because i just sort of blasted instead of coherently put anything down..

I'M NOT AN ANGEL, and sosososososo far from perfect. q>q i almost feel undeserving of the SUPPORT LKASNLDSNKA. no doubt i've definitely had my run ins with people face to face here, made my mistakes and kicked up a fuss when it wasn't necessary in the past. if anyone had spoken in some other chat and said 'qanat is a jerkward' I'D FEEL SAD BUT I WOULD ACCEPT THE OPINION ESPECIALLY IF IT WAS ABOUT OVERSENSITIVE ME FROM TWOTHREE YEARS AGO (warning new/potential/non players about some fake shit is a little different though that's nononothanks)
but i'd LIKE TO THINK I'VE CHILLED OUT A LOT and I've definitely made an effort to try and hit things head on if i feel things are going down
WHICH I THINK HAS ALSO MADE PEOPLE NERVOUS OR UNCOMFORTABLE BUT IDK I'M TRYING. SO I'M SORRY IF I'VE GIVEN OFF NEGATIVE IMPRESSIONS IN THE PAST BUT YEAH >:

SO TYVM FOR BEING NICE TO ME SIGH q>q i'll try to be deserving of it

yo what the hell man that's

yo what the hell man that's messed up. like I understand venting frustration to friends about a negative interaction with someone, but purposefully spreading lies that seriously hurts their image is worse than rude.
sorry you had to go through that, and if you ever want to chit chat just hmu

I'm not going to go over

I'm not going to go over every traumatic facet of my goddamn life to justify why I create characters
with these issues with the hopes of them getting a happy ending- I don't fucking need to.


this so much

you shouldn't have to explain yourself if the themes you portray with your characters are portrayed respectfully and with warnings. period.

also @the fucken nematodes spreading such a nasty rumour around in the first place--it costs zero dollars to discuss your issues at face value, rather than gossiping and being an instigator...

I'm so sorry that you've been

I'm so sorry that you've been accused of such a statement. Rape is a touchy subject and to be accused of finding pleasure in such an act is downright cruel. You build relatable well rounded characters because of the fact you don't shy away from taboo topics and that's what makes their lives so interesting to follow. It's a story, not a fetish and anyone who thinks otherwise is being narrow minded and blind to what character development is.

As much as I absolutely love this community, I've noticed that we as a whole can be so heartless at times. I feel that when we're on a computer we often forget that there is another person on the opposite side; someone that has the ability to feel and be hurt by the things that are written and said about them. So things said against us cut deeper. Which leads to a looootttt of drama and, understandably, hurt feelings. Hell, I took almost an entire year to myself because I just couldn't take the stress of constant OOC drama. It wore on me and made something I loved unenjoyable. It doesn't help that we are prone to assuming things based on what others say, which I myself am guilty of playing into. :/

CYDA TYVM FOR THE OFFER 3:

CYDA TYVM FOR THE OFFER 3:
and ofc many agreements ith your sentiments..

WENDI I CRY LOOKING BACK ON MY OWN LANGUAGE i am offended by my own anger in the past. i'm grounded. by my own self

BUT IN SERIOUSNESS YEAH.. i would understand if the themes spanned across all characters, the subject was handled horribly and taken lightly, ect- well i still wouldn't understand the accusation but.. I'D SEE MORE THE.. CONNECTION

i DON'T WANNA SOUND PREACHY but i think ultimately it comes down to people liking to bitch but having no genuine interest in educating people or making the community they think is growing sour, any better- just indulging others and spreading their own misery to fuck people over instead of idk, offering some education or telling people what they think they could do better, or just.. talkin it out
I MEAN if you don't feel it's your responsibility to help anything or be honest about your feelings to the person you're having issues with, then it's hardly your responsibility to warn people about them..
saying 'yes join me, i am good. avoid those gross people because of my opinion and also ignore my own flaws thx'. idk.. c'man..
like uhm.. screaming and protesting and then not working towards your cause. sLACKTIVISM i think is the word

BUT I'M GETTING INTO A WHOLE OTHER SCREEME SO I MUST CALM ALSKDNLKSADN

WHICH TIES IN TO NAZZARD'S SENTIMENTS. i don't think it's so much the 'community' that can be heartless, I THINK IT'S JUST PEOPLE BEING PEOPLE, everywhere you go! AT LEAST IN MY OPINION. the small amount of people can make the negative seem pretty overwhelming though
IT'S GOOD TO TAKE BREAKS. and it's good to come back with a refreshed POV. i noticed you just POOFED one day

I know this is out of the

I know this is out of the blue, but I just wanted to say that I stumbled in here and read your note about negative IC interactions and I really appreciate it!! I think calm, considerate communication between parties is something that this place needs more of considering how special many of our characters (and this game in general) are to our hearts as players. I know for me, personally, there's been a couple times where (spontaneous, IF) IC interactions between my characters and your characters weren't something I enjoyed or wanted to play out the way they did, but I never reached out to you personally. Instead, I made some passively defensive remarks on my character's bios and I sincerely apologize for reacting that way from an OOC standpoint. In retrospect, I know that communication during or after the interaction would've been so much better! And I don't hold any of what went on ICly against any of the players involved Smiling ♥ Just wanted to throw that out there and show some support for good, honest, open communication with folks!~ Best of luck!!

thIS has also been on my mind now for a few days, aND idfk what's been going on bUT the influx in players leaving is starting to get fkn worrying!! And it's been gradually increasing for a while!!

AND I JUST GOTTA SAY, I feel like we're reaching a point where we simply can't afford to get shitty with each other in this game. Whatever the issue is. We can't afford to be scaring players away.

I'm struggling to word anything past this without coming off as a total ass BUT JUST YEAH. I can't stress enough what Ka has been saying for the past...several months at this point.

It feels like more people are leaving tefc, than there are people joining. We're a niche af community so can we stop suffocating each other please.

I’m hands to the sky

I’m hands to the sky hallelujahing this! Like preach. I’ve had soooo many issues with my actions being taken ooc over the years that it started to really get to me and make the game unenjoyable. I literally took an entire year to regroup because it got that bad. Hell, I honestly didn’t intend to come back because the ooc drama was godawful.

Years ago when I was still in my beginning years of tef I had some moments where I got really salty and mean over IC things, but I grew out of it. Because this is a deer game, with pixel deer and I have a life outside of it that is far more stressful than any game and I don’t need the added stress worrying over stupid shit.

I like everyone. I do, I really do. I admire so many characters it’s not even funny and if someone is retaining some bad juju over something I did IC, hell even OOC,please, talk to me. Just like Ka pointed out it’s all about communication! And just as Lost said, if we keep up this track people are going to keep quitting. We’ve lost some amazing players over the years because of OOC drama and I hate seeing that trend continue.

I admit when I was younger

I admit when I was younger and extremely anxiety-ridden IC things would spiral out of control in my brain and I would think that maybe people hated me and were using their characters to take out negative feelings on me. Or were trying to get some message across to me that would be better served just being said out loud and OOCly. I've seen it happen back in the day, but I'm older and wiser and generally can tell if that's actually happening to me. Which it hasn't been. I'm also better at, like, talking things out.

A shame that all of this is

I'll be honest, I don't even

I'll be honest, I don't even go in-game anymore unless I'm going to meet another player and we've agreed we both want to be in game to interact. In-game interaction is incredibly confusing for me tbh and I'd much rather do text RP and save the forest for OOC fun.
