Twice now I’ve seen someone ragequit on ares via… attempting to blank their profile. Like delete all photos and then try to leave the fields empty. Then individually leave channels.
I guess on a web-based platform you can’t really slam the door as easily.
ETA: I’ve also heard stories of folk going in to edit other peoples’ wiki pages to scrub their character OUT. Which reminds me of another story about a banned person Old Transformers Game threatening to send some kind of DMCA over their own uploads.

That reminds me of the person on a Cyberpunk themed game around 2003-2004 who demanded that the staff retcon all of the stuff they did that affected the main plot.

Honestly the tableflip flounce is always comedic.

One of the earliest like spin-offs of wora was just for bad descs and this complete lunatic who worked with George RR Martin kept sending legal threats to their hosts for violating her trademarks by making fun of her desc

@Prototart Careful, you’ll summon her. Like a Ghost of MUing Past.

I use to write these five paragraph purple prose descs to try and get on that page. I was successful once. Now I’m like: It’s a tree or It’s a costume - yay.
Free time has changed.

@Prototart Didn’t she run a game? I vaguely remember all that. She’d post on WORA, pitching a fit at anyone that posted her description making fun of her.

@RedJellyBean If it’s the person I’m thinking of, I believe so. The so-called “only officially sanctioned A Song of Ice and Fire MU.” I’m likely paraphrasing, but you get the gist of the smugness.

I am reminded of a similar crash out back on… NOLA 2?
A player posted a NSFW log (it was this player and their IRL partner) on the wiki without tagging it. The head staff/game runner asked said person to either remove it or at least tag it.
The player then proceeds to crash out, tearing down everything about them and their partner’s characters from the wiki. Apparently also threw a tantrum at staff about the whole situation before leaving. Their partner seemed genuinely apologetic (and embarrassed) about it all, said sorrys for their partner and them, then quietly left as well.

The only game I’m really on right now has an average desc length of like three sentences and mine are all still five paragraphs even tho nobody reads them. I refuse to learn lessons of any kind.

My reminder of that incident reminds me of another thing.
Anyone remember the infamous Digichat game Shadows on the Bay? With the super incest magic family? And a bunch of other terrible things?
The gamerunner/head admin was all about WLW. Their supposed WLW partner helped them run the site. And there was a random dude that did the coding work.
Turns out the ‘random dude’ was actually the partner and the gamerunner had a jealous streak so bad they didn’t even want anyone touching their partner as their actual male self…
It was weird.

You know, if I had a dollar for every time there was a super incest magic family in our RP spaces…

I miss Passions, too.

I always enjoyed people trying to destroy other players wiki pages as part of a flounce out. Like they don’t realise you can just restore a previous version of the page? idk. Happened a few times over the years at Haunted Memories as I recall.
