Avalon Stuff

[inner_salvation]

I thought I would never get a Facebook, but I did, and now I never post stuff here.  I think it is customary to bitch about stuff that happens on FB on LJ.

So, I friended a bunch of people that I don't really talk to on a regular basis on FB: old classmates, former thespians, family members, family friends, and a shit-ton of Avalonians.

I got a

what happened the last time you were at avalon? I told you what happened to me, right? SIGH The disintegration of that game post-mikey was and is really saddening to me.

No, you didn't tell me, what happened

i'm annoyed how long it tooke me to write this out.

The last time I was in VA on a visit, which was a staggeringly long time ago, actually…2007, I think? I saw you there! Yay. Anyway, I ended up staying an extra week, and on a whim, going to Avalon. Originally, Mikey had requested to come along; it was going to be this big peace-making reunion thing-but after some discussion, Christie informed me that while I could certainly come and play, Mikey was not welcome. This in-and-of-itself is hardline fucked up. I’m sure you know that when Mikey left Avalon, he didn’t do anything bridge-burny as far as the game was concerned. He didn’t out administrative secrets or give out classified game info to anyone, as far as I know. Certainly, if this were the issue, then I would be one of the FIRST players they would forbid reentry to. And even though there were a lot of uh, complicated personal relationships in that triangle of people (which I won’t get into here but of which I’m sure you’re aware), I don’t think that was the real cause of enmity

no seriously, this is a fucking novel.

Anyway, I’d say overall that discomfort/wariness aside, I was treated pretty well on a personal level-sure, Jesse Wells was really weird and rude to me, but otherwise, I didn’t really feel disrespected, certainly not anything matching the level that you experienced. They seriously docked a lot of my powers and they didn’t give me any kind of stat help the way I thought they might-but they let me keep inate cauterizes after I asked nicely and explained how important they were to my playing of the character. I think what made the whole thing suck so hard was just the level of hypocrisy that I experienced. I remember when I first came to Avalon, my character had amnesia, and Tim laughed and told me, as kindly as he could, that amnesia was a really wack plot idea-and then he suggested/gifted to me a much cooler plot. For the entire weekend in 2007, I had…drumroll…amnesia. This was mostly just laziness-a lot of plot had been retroactively changed since my time as a player and they didn’t want me to spill the wrong info, at least, that

Facebook was the death of my LJ as well. Sorry about all the Avalon stuff, man. Apparently it was a blessing in disguise that I moved down south when I did and couldn't play anymore.
