Let’s address it.

Yes, I did in fact e-mail Ouroboros. Gave him a fair warning that I was considering contacting my bank and requesting a transaction gets reverted, for failure to reestablish channels part of a donation plan of his that every person paying what I paid gets access to. We can argue it is okay that those get revoked, which wouldn’t classify it as a breach of contract, but you’d need some solid Terms of Service describing that first. And, perhaps more importantly, you’d have to communicate the fact this channel is revoked first.

And there we have the core of the issue. That which lead to this sudden deletion of mine in the first place. Failure of communication.

I have never once been contacted by administration about their shadowbans, or about their perceived misuse of Newbie. I cannot know that our invisible, and mostly-quiet, moderator decided to just yoink channels from me. And it isn’t the OOC channel I was most worried about seeing function again, I’ve kept it mostly off the entire iteration.

It’s the Newbie channel. This new iteration comes with many topics of confusion, many new mechanics that aren’t clearly explained. So I had questions building up over the months of being unable to access Newbie. And petitions to see this fixed just didn’t seem to work, either. Am I in the wrong for being put in a corner, without knowing why or where, and then trying out of desperation to put a shred of pressure on the team working on this game? Can you expect someone not to build up a plethora of questions over months of play, and not feel pressured to try and do anything to get those questions aired?

I’m quite frankly upset he didn’t warn me, that he didn’t contact me, and proceeds to delete my account/character, and just paint me out in bad light in a post I couldn’t even access myself. I didn’t want to revoke those payments, I’d have been happy with getting an e-mail in reply with clarifications, with a promise it was being looked at, or even a comment that I was shadowbanned on the channel by him. That would have given me something to reflect on, or even something to contemplate on and eventually make a petition out of, to plead for reinstating those channel rights.

I apologize to those I’ve wrongly informed on Newbie. I can pin the blame on many things other than myself, but that leads us nowhere.

I apologize to Ouroboros, for what he assumed was bullying or unfair pressuring. It was a move out of desperation to get a semblance of communication established after exhausting attempts to do so prior.

And I move on. Wish it didn’t have to end this way. Wish I could continue playing, creating, and sharing stories. So long, all.
