I agree but keep in mind that those who intend to capitalize on justified anger over an RL issue to make CN gains are just as deplorable if not worse than those at fault for an RL issue in the first place.

Both sides are at fault if they do that. As I said, political alliance affiliation should not matter, leave RL where it belongs.

The main concern here, I think, is to address folks whipping up IC conflict into justifying RL potshots at folks for concerns. The intent seems more just 'step back and have some sympathy when it happens'--basically, the reverse of what you're talking about.

The other thing is that using RL issues as a reason to attack is already frowned on; that argument's closed, as far as I can tell. This is just reminding folks to respect that barrier going the other way.

I remember outpouring of support for a girl who had cancer 2 years ago, people flooded the alliance's forums, regardless of political alliance affiliation. She was struggling to live and was only 14 and played CN to keep ongoing.

I remember her, I really hope she's okay.

There were people on IRC, while I was at work, the day the Egyptian protests kicked off and the government shut down internet hoping I was amidst the rioting in Egypt so they wouldn't have to deal with my postings on here. Why would you wish anyone harm outside the confines of the game? I don't get it. Stuff like that really does make wonder if it's even worth it anymore harming someone's integrity and dignity.

Good blog Mia.

This Legion nation is a memorial, heh.

I don't play a persona, leave role-play to the furries.

I don't think things have really changed all that much actually; look at all the sympathy for Moo's situation, even from his IC opponents.

writing a blog about it won't change anything. I dunno what set off this particular post lamenting the death of a sense of decency that has never existed, but it's part of the game.

That's not to say it should be, but to pretend CN has been a snow white community up until recently is a joke.

Quite a lot of the lack of support is probably because a lot of people don't know what you're talking about. I guess this was one of those IRC only things that most people never saw.
