If you want me to be honest, the discord server is filled with a bunch of weird ass people in general. But I guess a game like this, that's bound to happen.I really like this game. It's actually been surprisingly good exposure therapy for me, though I won't go into the details on that since I don't want to make anyone uncomfortable.
I gotta say though, the Discord server for this game is... really weird. Like, they gave me the strangest reason for permabanning me with no warning.
"Dramamongering" and "being unkind to yourself."
They won't tell me how I did those things or what they mean.
Of note is that "dramamongering" doesn't appear to be against the listed rules. If it somehow fits into one of the existing rules, it's not entirely obvious, so I don't see how it's preventative, especially when "dramamongering" is such a subjective term.
Meanwhile, while there is a rule against "being unkind to yourself," they don't define it and they only added the rule after they permabanned me. Which means, somehow, the rule is enforced retroactively. And again, it's incredibly vague so I don't see how it's preventetive. Vrelnir even told me that that rule is meant to be vague and more of a guideline that a hardline rule, so I don't get how it could lead to a permaban, and retroactively at that.
And as far as I know, I was a semi-active and long-standing member of the Discord server who was well-liked for my chill behavior, cultured tastes, and willingness to help other members. I was permabanned so suddenly that several members noticed I was abruptly gone and were genuinely concerned for me, thinking that something bad might have happened to me since they couldn't recall me ever doing anything to rock the boat.
To this day, even though Vrelnir said he'd inquire with the mods just what these "dramamongering" and "being unkind to yourself" things are that led to my sudden and abrupt permaban (I didn't even have any prior strikes), he stopped returning my emails and hasn't replied in many months.
Still really love the game, but I was relying on the Discord server for quite a lot of guides and aid with the more esoteric content of the game.
When I first started, I just used the wiki, it's good enough. The game isn't really too in depth. It's got quite a few systems, but none of them are really delved into.
If you still wanna use the server, that's also easy. VPN, new discord account. Idk if you can get ip banned, but a VPN would handle that. There's free ones on PC.
