Seems it's going that way and I wouldn't be surprised in Part 4 that happened!

OP is the sad guy in the corner trying and warning in vain to point out the issues the idiots are ignoring because they can "safely ignore it" when the "cancer" first shows up, but are shocked once it full on becomes cancer. Then their "shocked" (and I'm sure blamed OP for it because it's their go to! They'll keep that miindset to their graves or till the consequences shock commons sense into their skull! Or BOTH) Sometimes as you said, better to "lose the battle to win the war!" OP was the only one to see the bad end! Time to get on your life raft with like minded others and leave the fools "to their fate" I view Bravo as the real villain because Siera and Delta's "nerdy mean girls" act only got this far because Bravo doesn't get his GF under control (or better to say he should have kept his private and professional life separate as an Admin! He deserves what he gets! Hope Siera dumped his simp ass when it all collapsed and she had nothing more to gain from him! Would devastate that moron in that he lost so much for a "FUCKING WOMAN" Guy/Girl no "Lover" is worth losing relationships that are tight over! A "Lover/PARTNER" like a Wife/husband is one thing, especially if their worth it! But if the sex is the only good thing in the relationship! Their just your "Manwhore/whore" at that point and not worth losing friendships and respect over! But it's the only way his type LEARN I suppose!)

I once did that. The site admin had a serious case of main character syndrome. The last straw was when he made everyone start over because he felt like he wasn't getting enough spotlight.

[@caosisaac]

Unfortunately as op describes in his original post and critcrab alludes to as well thats not really an option in this scenario. The events of this tale took place in '07-'08. They had all been developing the world for 5 years and you are absolutely correct that the few months of bad times before the end gives off major sunk cost fallacy. But this was the early days of social media and the internet was more the wild west back then. What you had was what you had. There werent reddit groups or forums where people could help each other with these issues, dnd was still very much a game by nerds for nerds and not the more socially acceptable activity it is today, and any communities you were a part of were much more tightly knit and closed off from other places. There was a real fear that "no dnd is better than bad dnd" would be no dnd period. With no wide shared communities finding a new group was much harder back then; and even harder to get accepted into if you were a stranger. Op at the time would have run the possibility of never playing something he truly enjoyed ever again, or at least for an extremely long time, that he dedicated his life to for over 5 years just because 2 people were being awful human beings the past couple months. Its hard to just brrak away from that. Sorry for the wordy ramble; i tend to do that haha. I agree with your sentiment 100% but understand why op didn't/couldn't at the time leave.

[@reginarainer9740]

What annoys me the most about Delta is that generally speaking, if you ask somebody about something they're interested and knowledgeable about they will generally trip over themselves to explain it. It's one of my favorite things about 'intellectuals', they're genuinely excited to talk about what they've spent years and years learning about themselves. If Delta hadn't been so determined to be the antagonistic know it all she might have actually learned something.

Honestly people who do that seem to just want an excuse to be angry and hurtful towards others while hiding behind the excuse of being the one who was wronged to begin with from my experience. It puts them in the position of the victim and makes the other person the bad guy without having to actually be victimized in any way. It's hard to deal with sometimes, especially if they can convince others to be yes men to them.

[@lary6420]

Basically if they tell me to "Figure it out" that means even they don't know why. They're just angry and they want you to find a reason for them to be angry you. I've seen it enough times to know this it usually the case and should not be played into.

OP did say that he played the character since he started five years before this point of the story. For questions 3 and 4, Delta had already been introduced since part one. CritCrab deliberately waited to introduced her because OP had introduced the entire cast (10 people) in detail all at once and CC broke the introductions up for brevity sake, introducing the players as they became relevant. Delta had already been apart of the group and was now becoming important. And even if the story wasn't real, so what? It's an entertaining story with any one of this party's woes could actually happen (DM's SO going on an ego trip, DMPC Mary Sue's, blatant favoritism and targeting, Cheating, DM Toxicity, GENERAL Toxicity, bullying, victim mentality, dog piling, group think, and more).

Could make for a great arc where she is basically forced to admit she doesn't or can't know everything.

I have ADD. I usually tell new people about it and tell them that if I say/do something, let me know. They don’t need to make a huge deal as it could just be a “hey, you accidentally unplugged something of mine”. I don’t make a huge deal of it and do try and handle it myself. I mainly give a heads up so if something does occur, people are a bit more understanding and don’t jump to anger too quickly if it’s just a matter of getting me be aware of things that I might miss cuz I don’t always understand some social ques.

[@jaimeXDgo]

I think that the hidden guilty here is Bravo. Or whoever was that started dating Sierra and consenting to all of her superhuman level of stupidity and bullshit. He could have been the voice of reason within the group, but was lost in lust, or something. Truly pathetic.

[@ZedMazaus480]

Yeah... This if nothing else would have been the final straw, and perminently left this dumpster fire. They pulled the bad over emotional girlfriend sterio type that never says what's bothering them and expects the boyfriend to just figure it on their own. This spoiled stunt is not only wrong to do to anyone, but shows a serious level of immaturity and no grounds of any real argument. I'm not surprized they're practically single handedly destroying this gaming group. Their over enflated egos won't let them see that they're burning it to the ground.

[@thaloblue]

1. DND can be your therapy IF AND ONLY WHEN you play it with your therapist. 2. “If they can’t handle a little bit of hazing” is the death rattle of a bullying cult. No one feels like they can leave. New people can’t stay because it’s like staring directly at the sun with your eyes held open. The group becomes a massive source of stress in everyone’s lives and begins to fuck with how each member interacts with work and friends/family outside of DND. But people think that they like each other too much and they don’t want to be the one who “couldn’t handle it.” NONE OF THEM CAN HANDLE IT. NO HUMAN BRAIN CAN “HANDLE” BULLYING LONG-TERM.

[@briangronberg6507]

I played with a Delta. “I poke; you wiggle” sounds exactly like something she’d say. Thankfully was given the opportunity to leave before things got too serious.

[@TezcatsGhost]

this was actually quite awkward for specifically me... i go by delta in my group cause thats the name of my character in the first campaign of my group i know im not the delta of this story but its still kinda awkward to hear the name that i often get called by in a dnd horror story like that...

"Bravo and the other adminis reaction had been over all dismissive." I haven't the foggiest idea how they didn't just leave right then and there. 'But then delta and sierra win' sure, then let them have their little meltdown paradise until they chase everyone away and are sad and alone.

[@Gendo.]

"we got Ameila Airheart so we can take the living embodiment of the nerd emoji" xD You really drop some good lines in these videos

[@pwnorbepwned]

I expressed a suspicion that this is a made up story last video. Now OP has committed the classic blunder of storytellers who are unfamiliar with DnD. Forgetting the DM’s role in the game and the player’s own supposed actions. How is he researching and successfully developing special items without DM input? Bravo and Sierra didn’t allow him to do that R&D and then give him the anti-magic sword. If they did, OP would not have missed on pointing out that the DMs were okay with the sword when they gave it to him, only to now be changing their minds. It’s framed as OP doing this all on his own, without DM input, and them telling him to stop. He’s so far been dodging this sort of thing by having two DMs in the story running separate adventures sometimes so things could happen in one adventure without the other DM knowing right away, enhancing the drama. Here, there is no third DM, and the whole anti-magic sword part of the story makes no sense.

[@Doomwolf82002]

It's not made clear in the story but there are other DMs besides Bravo & Sierra which are most likely the other board admins; hence why Bravo is referred to as "DM Prime" as well as how they were able to run Sierra's massive Event Campaign smoothly.

[@willwallinger5932]

If you're going to set boundaries, you have to enforce them immediately and completely. Anything else will result in them thinking they can get away with it. Tell them to stop. If they don't. Kick them from the group or leave yourself. Don't be limp-wristed about your boundaries or people will cross them.

[@jasper265]

The OP here sounds like they also had main character syndrome. They're continuously being targeted, becoming de facto leaders of factions, going on side quests, inventing new weapons and being the central focus of major battles. It makes me wonder how reliable they are as a narrator and whether hearing the other side would change how this entire situation looks.

[@Xunkiira]

I use rp as a way of therapy for myself, at least in a sense. I was raised in a family who was physically, emotionally, and psychologically abusive towards me. I have no connection with my own emotions, at all, I literally do not understand them within myself. I've gotten really good at reading other people, but I can't read myself. I use my characters in rp to basically explore myself, each character being a mix of emotions/personality traits, and as the characters are fleshed out it allows me explore my own emotions and understand myself better, but I don't force my problems on others, and basically only do so through in character conversations that others initiate. This process over the last 6 years has gotten me to a much better place, but I've still got a ways to go, and I don't force it on anyone else anyway

[@zixserro1]

Delta sounds like someone who has a very specific idea about how characters in this world are supposed to be, and if you don't fit a mold she understands, you need to change yourself for her, rather than her trying to understand your character. Also, the "closure" and "trauma" stuff with her interactions with players makes me think she was trying to play therapist, thinking that the issues of the characters reflected their real-life issues, and she was trying to help them work through those things. It also could've been to force closure to character arcs so she could then work towards them becoming more of what she envisioned the characters as. As for the list, Sierra's demands are wild, and I'm willing to bet she only wanted OP to stop developing and destroy his research on anti-magic weapons so she could eventually challenge and kill his character without any sort of risk to herself. Unless OP was openly hostile towards Sierra and omitted that from his telling of the story, her fears of him creating those weapons specifically to use against her, rather than the new super-magical enemies that were appearing in the world who he and other martials would have no chance against otherwise, are completely unjustified. She just wanted to make herself the strongest without question, to make this world her world; at that point, write a book or start your own RP site with your own world.

[@fireballfilms]

there's a phrase i like that goes "mental disabilities explain behaviors they do not excuse them"

[@Mariewolf_94]

i dont remember the OP's gender, or if it was mentioned for that matter, but i see whats happening here. in the case of Sierra, it's clear shes just a spoiled brat that loves being the center of attention. anyone who speaks up against her are seen as a threat and she will meta-game or break rules to quash the "rebellion" and get her way. as for Delta, the OP said she was always a pain in the ass, but it wasnt until Sierra became the main DM and began rewarding ppl who kissed up to her (Delta no doubt being one of them) that she seemingly got much bolder and assertive. since Bravo allowed Sierra to do whatever she wanted (to a certain extent), and by extension Sierra allowed her "camp" to do whatever THEY wanted, Delta probably felt like she had validation to be as mean as she wanted without consequences. she likely got even closer to Sierra to further grant herself immunity to do whatever the hell she felt like. as for why the two ladies dislike the OP so much, going back to the gender thing: if the OP is another girl, then they probably feel threatened by them. in recent years, though shit really hit the fan this past summer, i personally was a victim to a situation like that (non-DnD related situation). if the OP is a guy, then these two girls probably are just being feminazi twats and hating on them just to hate on them. whether mental issues and/or trauma is involved, i guess we'll never know since even the OP doesnt know, it still doesnt excuse their obnoxious behavior and abuse on the group (at least anyone in the group that is "against" Sierra). the OP shouldve just stuck to their guns and left the group like they initially wanted to. this group went from fun and games to full-on toxicity and cyberbullying. this is only going to get worse before it gets better, and we can already see that unfolding. i do however find it amusing how Bravo and other members of the group are so quick to point fingers at Delta and blame her for everything coming to a head. naturally Bravo isnt going to blame his gf, but this is all clearly Sierra's fault. SHE is the one that drew the line in the sand and declared "You're either on my side or you're against me", SHES the one who forced a rift between two opposing groups and caused tension/animosity between them, and SHE is the one who fostered and encouraged this toxic, mean behavior towards those in AND outside the DnD group. though, if we're to be perfectly honest and technical, all of this started because Bravo couldnt grow some balls and put his foot down w/ his gf, enabling her to do all this bs

[@olivinemage4233]

Delta sounds like such a Mean Girl. She could straight up be replaced by Regina George and nobody would notice any change to her personality.

It's kind of ironic she tried to lecture someone about morality but she is such a source of poison within the group who seems to enjoy bullying.

[@PJ92586]

Can't wait until next because "no way in hell!" is my attitude to this nonsense. First off your allowed to do that kind of research depending on the class and backstory of the character, second to just demand someone to not prepare and use their character in response in-game events like I would do the same with all the cheating especially when I know a war is coming the character's we are fighting are DOUBLE my level despite starting at the same time.

I stop trying when it becomes clear all they want is attention for how much life sucks and brings down the rp because of it. This coming from a person that makes characters that hate the existence of reality itself. But will give his all to protect them at the same time.

[@rynowatcher]

This one makes me a bit less sympathetic towards the op. He is having issues with multiple players now. He is not getting along with seira because he did not want to min max and delta because he did not want to role play. The rules are really vague, like all the stories in this series, so things like "a sword that can drain the magic from a target," get really hard to judge if that is game breaking. This is not a d&d game, and the players seem to have semi-dm levels of abilities to create plot points, magic items, or new tech. This might just be too many cooks spoiling the broth, but it is hard to say anyone is cheating or being showed favoritism if everyone is doing this. This gets into a slap fight half way through. The group is not attracting new people because no one wants to get involved in this weird game of mean girls they got going on here. Frankly, this seems just both sides being hostile to each other. It seems the sides are not split between op's group and seira's group as op cannot get along with his own group either.

[@APerson-ws4cw]

Idk if he's telling the truth, multiple people have trouble with the duo

[@rynowatcher]

@@APerson-ws4cw I am getting a made up story vibe from this, but going down the rabbit hole of assuming it is somewhat reliable... OP is not really naming names or giving concrete examples of many offenses with other players. IE, there is a refrance to Delta arguing about astronomy that ended the game, but op never says who else was involved besides the two of them. It makes it hard to know the scope of offenders and I have a hard time believing an argument about something unrelated to a game by 3 people would derail a planned game when the server at this time is already divided into two groups who do not associate with each other. If op is to be believed, a group of people spontaneously canceled a game and sulked about not being able to win a pointless argument with someone they all agreed was wrong but the mere fact she was existing ruined their fun. Generally, that seems like a problem on both sides at best. People largely have a problem with Seira because they lost, and only people that lost do. There are vague refrances to cheating, but they seemed to let a player who designed the dungeons/challenges compete against everyone and act as gm. What did they expect? Lastly, I think if you find a foe everywhere you go, the problem is most likely not external. He fights with delta when seira will not contact op. Just seems like wherever he goes he cannot get along with people he is supposedly friends with. The entire group seems dysfunctional and immature so it is hard for me to throw stones.
