Aww, how cute.

She's trying to get her own world up and about! Here's hoping nothing... awful... happens to it. I noticed most(see: all) of the players are newly-joined. Poor bastards. And they're all pretty much from World Serpent Inn. I wonder why they're defecting here?

Also, it's come to my attention that there seems to be a male sdragonblood, who actually uses punctuation correctly. I'm suspecting they're two different people, so if the male shows up, well, let me be clear, we aren't talking about you. Just the slut.

One of our gracious readers was nice enough to email this to me.
Guess who.

Also, did it strike anyone else that 'Cherry' is a stripper name?

PostPosted: Sat Jan 23, 2010 3:48 am Post subject: Saying Goodbye to PaladinofSune, Sage, & Ravenof

I didn't want to do this, nor did the DMs. We had hoped the team could split in a mature fashion, lacking drama or unethical actions. Unfortunatly, as often happens in our NWN communities, this was not the case.

We were recently told of a server the three had been working on while still with our team. We also recently discovered that Sage has been openly recruiting WSI players for this other server. This is not the standards we held her to as a DM ,or a player, or a forum user. I feel that if she is bringing this issue to light to our players, the team should have a chance to let our playerbase in on what happened, instead of sweeping it under the rug and leaving it to general gossip.

I'll attempt to summarize the recent split with the following: After some questionable behavior on the part of PaladinofSune, his direct server access was removed temporarily. In disagreement with this action, Paladin, Sage, and Ravenof spent several weeks 'on break' as was posted, but actually started working on a new server. The trio returned to us with the following PM, informing us that they would be using our work.

Hello,

As Raven, Sage and I are longer able to work on WSI on this server, we've decided the best option for us is to produce our own server using the current module as a starting point. As such, we're using the latest version of the module I have, while re-evaulating some key decisions we've made; such as removing Sigil and the World Serpent Inn itself to focus more on The Vast. Eventually, it should bare little resemblance to this server and this is our current focus before it goes live.

As we've all contributed towards the module in our own way, I feel that it's only fair that I claim part ownership of it. However, if there's any particular areas, items, and so forth you feel you would like removed (within reason), then we'll certainly see what we can do. As Jayna is not returning to The Vast, Sage would like her clothing store and all associated items removed. I'm not too concerned about my own work; do what you like with it.

PaladinofSune, having made one dungeon himself and the rest of his additions being script based, claims the authority to use two year's worth of work from myself and Overmind ... without giving us the respect to ask permission. We were told outright that they made the choice to steal it regardless of our wishes. Having to ask them to remove our work (within reason?) is not respectful to our time, it's just theft. And this will be the third server he's stolen from. Check the login PaladinofSune on Arelith and Amia, where he was also a Developer. We just expected a friend of four years would never do this.

Sage's contribution to starting the "new" server has been to privately advertise on WSI as seen below...

Hello folks!

I apologise in advance for using PMs for this, but I have no other way of contacting most of you, sadly.

Given recent unpleasant events, and since a lot of our own work has gone into making this module, a few of the staff are relocating to our own version of the module that is focused on the Vast alone. I’m sending you this PM because I’ve enjoyed playing with you and would like to extend an invite to you. Currently we’re working hard to edit the module enough to be comfortable hosting it, without being a direct copy of World Serpent Inn, and adding a ton of new content over time.

Looking forward to playing with you all again, and if not, I wish you all the best here; it was a pleasure spending time with you.

Sage

----------

This claim that Sage and Paladin put alot of work into the server comes up again and again. While we appreciate the work that was contributed, it does not add up to any sort of ethical claim to use our areas and simply edit them to look slightly different. Adding a few new placables does not make it their work. In addition, I offered to let them use some of my work with my blessing if they asked specifically about those areas and I agreed or disagreed on each area. No such list or request has been made...

So there it is. I apologize for having to bring drama to the community and exposing everyone to the dirty laundry. If our community is being thrust into this nonsense, we'd at least like to trust you guys with the details of the issue instead of ignoring it.

----------------------------------

Hot damn! There's going to be another, less idiotic WSI. I'll drink to that. Now! To my favorite part of my blog, the ripping apart of everything you have the audacity to post in your public forums.

1. If the DMs didn't want you to post it, why did you. Man, and I thought Liz was the vindictive one.
2. At least they told you. If it were me, I'd have kept
quiet about it, because, after being your friend for four years (Kudos to PaladinOfSune for doing that, even if I have no clue why you would do it), I think I'd have an inkling as to how you'd react.
3. General gossip? Weren't you the one who started ranting at anyone and everyone? Even me!
4. Questionable behavior? Way to go for vague. For all I know, Brett could have high-fived the wrong person and irritated you to the point where you and Liz smacked him with the ban hammer. And from the bigger focus on how they 'went behind your back and started a new server' leads me to believe that he must have defied you in some way, or you felt that he was straying away from you, etc.
5. THEY TOLD YOU ABOUT IT AND YOU FREAKED OUT. They did a good thing and you responded with what can only be summarized as:

http://images.nexisonline.net/bawwwww.jpg
Seriously. It is, first of all, only a video game, and second of all, THEY TOLD YOU ABOUT IT.
5. Anyway, doesn't WSI only have one focus at a time, unless there's a DM quest? And if they're changing up the areas, so what? They got rid of Sigil, they got rid of the Inn that your server is based on (Which I would like to point out, is copyrighted material, anyway, so honestly, it wasn't your original idea to begin with. Examples: http://www.nwnthevast.com/
http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/InnBetweenTheWorlds
http://www.wizards.com/dnd/files/World_Serpent.pdf), so why are you continuing to yell stealing? Honestly.
6. Weren't you also a DM at Arelith and Amia, or some such thing? Hypocrite. How do you even know he stole anything, he could have just gone along with what you did, because he was your friend. Let's have a look-see...
O. Look.
7. Scripting. Hmm. Let's see. Doesn't that take hours? Not to mention that I'm sure you use several of his nifty scripts to keep your pretty, little inn running smoothly. He also had the graciousness to let you keep his scripts (Even though I have the feeling you'd have kept them anyway).
8. Invitations! Who doesn't love invitations.

...Okay, then! Come on, people--if you like a person, you're going to let them join you in something, or let them know what you're doing. How is that any different than that stupid 'HAY GUISE LOOK AT THIS SERVER I'M PLAYING NOW IT'S SO AWESOME' thread in the General Discussion by someone, I forget their name now...
9. And 'trust you with the details'? This isn't details. This is propaganda. Has no one else but me noticed that Sage and PaladinOfSune were banned after they told them this? That's like... Trying to reconcile with someone over a minor thing like a papercut and getting thrown out of the house for CLEARLY being an in-the-closet-homosexual-sex-crazed-fiend, and the whole thing was an ELABORATE PLAN to get to kiss your finger.

Not to mention some of the things you've said... But I'll let that go for now. I'm sure you have such a good reason to be driving your friend of four years away. Enjoy your relationship destroying, Jen.

A Reply

Having gotten a reply from the World Serpent Inn, it seems, from our own audaciously charming sdragonblood, I feel I must put it here to indulge myself in some gloating.

Post subject: Now, this was uncalled for .. and VERY upsetting...

I might get into trouble for posting this publically here...

but I am... very upset, that this sort of , under-handed, petty, childish, and MOST cowardly thing that someone could do...

this was posted on the Wiki, which HAS been removed by the Admin here...

Quote:

Any idea who would have done the following on our wiki page? I'm checking ip addresses for a match.

* Overmind: One of the admins and DMs of this server, she is highly vindictive, petty, and will often insult many of the players there. Sometimes scripts. Finds portals stupid.

* Jen: In love with Overmind. Does not do much else.

* sdragonblood: Plays a superhot tiefling barbarian, superhot asian mage (Who talk like this. Is very annoying.), and superhot blonde paladin(who fell within two days). Also thinks the NWN original campaign's paladin falling was cheesy. Puts bust, waist, and hip size in description. Quits temporarily on a regular basis, and will try and drive you from the server with memorable quotes such as: "..." That's right, ladies and gentlemen, she abuses ellipses. 'Lesbian lover' of xXCrystalRoseXx.

* xXCrystalRoseXx: Plays a superhot tiefling assassin, superhot red dragon disciple (that lacks scales, seemingly). 'Lesbian lover' of sdragonblood.

* -Nyara-: Got between xXCrystalRoseXx and sdragonblood. No longer plays, for obvious reasons (Sdragonblood aggro'd her.)

Now... this REALLY shows the world, that the poster... was a idiot, who .. obviously really did not pay attention, nor... even knew what in the hell he/she was talking about.

So, I'm going to pick this attack apart, and set a few things straight.

FIRST- Overmind... is a SWEETY! Vindictive? Petty? .. Ha!... She has put together this gorgeous, wonderful server to play on for FREE... for, any who desire to play ( and co-exist by the rules and guidelines with OTHER people. ) <<<>

It IS a thankless job, for the most part. No one twisted Overmind's arm to provide YOU entertainment... , no one pays here to do this....

To me, and many others... she's a very wonderful and caring person, a great player and administrator.

SECONDLY- What ever relationship Jen has with Overmind.. is HER business! What bearing does that even have, or have a place on our Wiki to begin with? <<>

And I can tell you, and so can many others... Jen does ALOT for the server and community. This website here.. even has her name on it... who do you think takes care of the forums? She loggs in DMside, and helps with issues, and runs quest.

Always, always, ALWAYS... even if Jen has an issue or problem with someone or something they say or do, she uses the UPPER-MOST level of professionalism ... and is very very fair in what she does say and do.

THIRDLY... * Rolls eyes* OMG... can we get a life here? Seriously! Attacking me... jeesh, that narrows down who the hell posted it , doesn't it?

Well, let me explain a few things to you "bucko" ...

Not every character I play is " Super-hot" ... , to be honest, most of that is a matter of perception.

My barbarian.. is very sculpted and beautiful, for a being with heavy demonic lineage. My asian.... is actually small, thinner... and very average ( forgettable) looking. The blonde paladin... is my only real "knock-out". If you even bothered to pay attention, read my descriptions, ... these aspects you would know.

My "lingo" typing with my asian character... thats annoying is it? >>> Oh, pardon me for disturbing you with my typing , trying to set her a bit different from the norm. Jack-ass.

Again.. what bearing does my PERSONAL OPINION have on how I veiw the OC content ... have anything to do with WSI? <<<>

My paladin who fell.. took WAY longer than two days to "fall".

She was out of game for months... to reflect this change in her... it didn't happen in two days.

Again, this shows everyone just how ignorant you are. Obviously.. you don't really pay attention to IMPORTANT matters.

What I put in my descriptions... is also my prerogative, UNLESS it was breaking a rule... , but.. at least you know what Rissa's measurements are at first glance. She's supposed be "barbie-perfect" in looks and appearance.

At least.. I give descriptions, and something for people to work with, use a bit of imagination and creativity.. that goes beyond continuous, and dull RP over a stupid silly HAT! I put reall effort into my characters....

And they all aren't gorgeous... obviously you've not met my Ogirillion druid. Or my few other characters... one of which is very hideously UGLY!

My "quitting" is .. also my own right.. I was having some REAL issues, and problems, needed a few breaks... , how is that a bad thing? So, I should keep playing when I'm upset, and upset others around me.. drag everyone I care about and like playing with into the dark oblivion along with me?

What I do with my time, is MY business.... , you insensitive jerk!

I have maybe used the " ...." TWICE the entire time I've played on WSI. I do use the "...", to span a break in the words I type , or to indicate a "trailing off" of the topic being spoke.

Ralain.. uses a flat out " ... " way more than anyone... , and in both our cases.. if it used, means, we really didn't have anything to say back to you, or good to say to you, that we wanted you to know IC anyways.

What are you, a frikken English major, and authority on good language? Get a life!

And .. *rolls eyes* .. why is my sexual preference.. an issue here? What bearing did that have for WSI on it's wiki? What place is there in NWN at all, that says.. " everyone must be mindful of Homophobic retards?"

Thats.. being a bit to harsh, judging me like that....

If you MUST know, I'm actually Bi-Sexual. I'm not just saying that either. I find women and men on EQUAL attractive basis. I've been that way ALL my life...

But..., again.. there is no place for such things... my sexual orientation doesn't effect WSI , it's operation, or have ANYTHING to do with the server... who runs it, any quest, items, adventures, ... ect, ect... ect!

Pointing out... that I'm a " lesbian lover" of Crystal Rose.. Hahahaha..., again, it shows your ignorance. First off, it's my CHARACTER that has a relationship with Rose's CHARACTER. Rose actually lives on some Island somewhere... I'm smack dab in the middle of the USA... , wow.. I didn't know I could get lesbian with someone I've never met in RL... wow, damn I must be good!

But if you must know.. I have characters romantically involved with OTHER player's characters too! So.. how am I classified now? Rolling Eyes

FOURTHLY- ... I'm going to let CrystalRose defend herself her, but see above. You are stupid for posting anything like this at all.

and LASTLY-

I did NOT run off Nyara...

We had a MISUNDERSTANDING..., yes I might have aggravated her a bit, but that was a MUTUAL aggravation. She left on her OWN terms, fo rher own reasons. True.. I most likely didn't ~help~ it any, because I was trying to HELP her , ... not make it worse. However .. SHE made the CHOICE to .. let it bother her, and STUBBORNLY refused to listen to perfectly good and sound rationale thought.

I have NOTHING against the girl... , and lament her not playing here .. cause she is creative, and a good role-player.

Nyara.. did not come "between" Rose and I .. at all. If you must know... those two had problems between each other, ... and had NOTHING to do with Me what-so-ever! I felt like they needed to work it out, and said simply I'd step out of the way.. so everyone was happy...

Now if she was Jealous... I have no idea..., but I really didn't do anything to the girl, towards her, or anything cept for a post on our forums... responding to her attitude she bestowed on me, cause she was mad at Rose to begin with. As far as I can understand it, or have knowledge of... because, I eventually just let it drop.. and moved on.

What-ever deal, or inner-workings that Nyara and Rose share.. is their business...

But.. Bucko... she left on her own terms, for her own reasons... no one drove her off, and I was the ONE person begging her to stay.

So, I think I've covered all those little petty aspects that seem to bother you, as a the coward that you are ...

I would hope that you grow up, get a life... and get educated before posting, hurtful, and demeaning things on our public GAME pages.

I know you are getting banned from the Wiki, and our forums here.

++++++++++++

To anyone else.. if I do, say, post, act... or generally annoy you in any way, form or fashion... , please.. come to me first. PM me, send me a tell... I'm sure we will be able to talk like adults, and work things out.

I'm human. I'm not perfect. I make mistakes.

Just don't be like this jack-ass, and start posting stupid things about me, or my friends , or.. the server ... elsewhere. Please.

++++++++++++

So, who-ever you are... I wish you luck in what-ever you do..., and I hope to never cross paths with you ever again.


How absolutely adorable! I posted about ten sentences, and she absolutely blow up and rants for all this material to put here.

A few points I would like to make:
  • Shortly after my posting, I was told(as it seems I've been banned from the forums, heh), that she put up a post saying 'I'm leaving, because I am attracting bad attention for the server, pity me!', then insisted, after several suck-up "Don't leave!!!" posts that she was not leaving.
  • True enough, I shouldn't have posted this on the NWN wiki. But, I am fixing that, now. I do love free speech.
  • "My barbarian.. is very sculpted and beautiful, for a being with heavy demonic lineage. My asian.... is actually small, thinner... and very average ( forgettable) looking. The blonde paladin... is my only real "knock-out". If you even bothered to pay attention, read my descriptions, ... these aspects you would know.

    My "lingo" typing with my asian character... thats annoying is it? >>> Oh, pardon me for disturbing you with my typing , trying to set her a bit different from the norm. Jack-ass."

  • The poor dear doesn't even know what she is talking about! A being with heavy demonic heritage is not a tiefling, it is a cambion. A tiefling is an ugly freak. Playing one as very sculpted and beautiful just proves my point. Her asian 'lingo' is actually very racist and stereotypical, not different from the norm at all. Her "blonde paladin..." being a 'knockout' is vexing because she describes her as being like Barbie.
    The idea behind paladins is to make them have a likeable personality. There is a reason Aribeth has a fan following and none of your characters do. While pretty, and a lesbian(oh my god, so liberal!), I have not seen you ever, once, spend time on Charissa or anyone's personality.
  • If you must know, she is bi. Otherwise known as: 'I would date only guys if it would piss my parents off as much as women do.'
  • She has absolutely nothing to do with Nyara leaving, ignoring her yelling at her, and her subsequent deletion of her posts after Nyara left. Methinks the lady doth protest too much. The 'one person begging her to stay' bit does not convince me whatsoever.
All in all, sdragonblood, you are an awful role player. I have seen your type before. You will fly off the handle at any accusation at your proposed 'perfection'. You have a number of friends merely because you elbow your way in. You are gaudy, blatant, vulgar. You scream desperation.

If she continues her drama(which I am sure she does, whoopee), you'll have me to deal with. Hello, sdragonblood. I'm Blue, and I'll be your personal poltergeist.

The World Serpent Inn Truth

World Serpent Inn is a role play/action persistent world set across several campaigns, using the Forgotten Realms primarily. The planar enigma of the World Serpent Inn is an ever-changing festhall and flophouse unfettered by reality.

The World Serpent Inn is both a place and a nonplace, existing in multiple planes simultaneously and nowhere at all. It also is a reason and nonreason, having multiple ideas that have yet to come to fruition, existing with multiple ideas up and running and also not at all. It is a gathering place for dead races, unborn powers, forgotten heroes, restless ghosts, and the engineers of worlds as yet uncreated, as well as tiefling lesbians, red dragon disciple lesbians, elf lesbians, Eilistraeean drow lesbians, Sharessian lesbians, badly played evil characters, Mary Sues, butterfly-winged women, super paladins, shadowdancers, and awful Dungeon Masters. Almost all the inhabitants of the Inn are travelers, either by design or by chance(though, many of these inhabitants are all somehow incredibly beautiful. Many have simply stopped here during journeys to other places, while others came to the Inn accidentally, then realized they could not get home.
