I'm not saying it's a conspiracy. Just saying why someone may not buy it without more definitive proof

What are they doing looking for definitive proof in a hatememe.

If we're going to bully someone out of the game, I'd like to be sure they deserve it.

Oh I wouldn't worry too much, anon. I'm sure the mods will make sure to protect her somehow and vilify whoever they need to in the game to do it.

I've never seen the mods in this game vilify anyone. And all the hint-dropping about how corrupt the mods are is just making me think this is another roundabout attempt to give them a bad rep.

Got your campfire right here anon, all ready for you to sit around singing kumbaya.

And I have some spare torches for you to light on your way to the castle gates.

new player here. Not heads over heels in love with the mods, but I'd like more proof before I ditch a game I just apped into.

>call anons naive for not believing stories about the mods
>expect them to believe it without solid proof

...right...

Actually, I'm calling anon naive for not believing that Devon could ever be anything but a perfect little princess in spite of what so many people in this thread are saying.

I don't think she's a pretty princess, but I think it's kinda horseshit that everyone expects us to take their stories at face value without any solid proof

This. It didn't work with the mod wank and it's not going to work here.

You're on an anonymous community, brosis. You're never going to know for sure who's saying what or what their motives are. People have given specifics, but you're still calling slander and saying you don't believe them. That's up to you, but on the flip side, why should anyone believe that you're not just trying blow smoke and distract people with mirrors?

You could be one of the mods for all anyone knows! You could be Devon!

No one's ever going to have complete certainty about anything here, and if that's what you're wanting you should probably go converse elsewhere.

Saying there's no elephant in the room doesn't change the fact that a lot of other people in this thread apparently do see an elephant.

Putting "Devon was mean to me, so I left the game" and the words "selfish" and "two-faced" in four different remixes isn't specifics. That's my issue here. If I should be ditching her, I want to know exactly why, but nobody has been able to show me that this isn't just OTT grudgewank.

So far, people in the last few anoncomm posts have:

> Posted information from her personal timeline and RL for wank material
> Exaggerated what happened in the app anoncomm post
> Ignored the fact that there were other members of the app team in that post saying the exact same things, all of which were clarified as mod-approved in the SC OOC post about the apps
> Keep repeating "the mods are corrupt" about various things but offering no proof
> Started bringing up wank from five years ago as "proof" that Devon is hateworthy

And none of that sits well with me. At all. I've been in SC for a long time and I have never seen anything to justify this kind of wank. She welcomes every new player, and buys (used to buy? I don't know if she does it anymore.) random players paid time, is on the app team, and never drops threads. If you have to dig up wank from years ago to get dirt on someone, then I don't think you have a solid case.

If that's smoke and mirrors, then fine. But this started being trashy and mudslinging when people began posting about her RL on here, and just got worse when people decided they were too good for an apology from her. I've only seen evidence on her side that she's trying to make amends, and getting nothing but resistance from the vicious people who are bullying her for something that happened five months ago.

whiteknight harder

This shit all started because people talked about Devon's long history of shitty behavior to them and others.

You're here trying to say that since you haven't seen it or been given "proof" then those people's experiences aren't legit and don't exist.

When people say that it's impossible to crit anyone in this game and have it taken seriously this shit is what they're talking about. YOU and what you're doing right now.

You are your own proof. You just can't see it because you're whiteknighting so goddamn hard that nothing else matters to you.

Keep thinking you're the noble one anon. But really, you're exactly the problem that people keep trying to talk about and you keep trying to deny exists.

So she's a good person because she buys things for people?? Srsly?

You're totally ignoring all the things that have been said about how she plays all sweet until someone dares to cross her and then goes on the warpath against them.

>this started being trashy and mudslinging when people began posting about her RL on here

But no one has posted anything about her RL. The only things that anyone has posted are things that she constantly brings up and brags about herself, and they've only done it to compare behavior she's proud of in one area to her behavior in another area.

>people decided they were too good for an apology from her

Since when does someone simply saying "I'm sorry" count as them really meaning it or demonstrating a change in their ways? Why should anyone who's been wronged by someone accept that and not be skeptical of it?

You're talking about things that don't sit well with you, but it doesn't sit well with me how one-sided you're being, disregarding people's concerns about someone's conduct out of hand. Anyone can say they're sorry. That's not proof at all that they mean it or intend to change.

Also, for the record, I don't remember seeing anything about Devon on the last few anoncomm or anticirclejerk posts before this one.

I don't care about the mods. Literally, they could all be replaced tomorrow, or stay on forever, but either way, I do. Not. Care.

My problem is 100% with Devon.

Related - if I give details about my personal Devon experiences, I'd out myself instantly. What would you do?

Uh. Believe this isn't a bunch of grudgewank and horseshit?

Because so far, all you have given us is vague stories and references to supposed wank that happened years ago. With Andrei.

I've never seen this chick be meaner than those anoncomm app posts, so I'm having a hard time buying this. Like the anon up the page said: The big problem happened in October, and it's March now. That's really fucking suspicious.

Good job thinking for yourself! Do you want a medal?

..... did you just try and turn Devon into the victim of bullying here? woooooow that's speshul

Unless you're talking about a different meme, then yeah. This is bullying, justifiable or not.

>Player gets named as a long term bully
>Lots of people speak up to share experiences that they've felt bullied into keeping quiet for a long time
>They're accused of bullying the person who bullied them

Speaking up about someone having bullied you =/= bullying that person, and if you can't see the difference then you've got big problems.

> Kid is bullied at school
> Kid goes to school and beats his bully with a baseball bat
> Kid has done no wrong?

There's a difference between standing up for yourself/speaking up and bullying someone in retaliation. Calling someone names and exaggerating what happened in the main incident isn't 'speaking up'.

This comparison.

What's actually happening here.
