Greetings, Without so much as an explanation or warning, Sauna had a pantytwist, and banned me from his Discord Lounge. Ath mentioned that the reason was "your political view", but no one has bothered to explain further. As a matter of fact, the last time Sauna and I discussed a political issue (corporate fascism sucks), we agreed on it. No one in the Lounge has ever told me they had a particular problem with me, except for the very open arguments between Freddy and I. When it is requested we change subjects, do I not change subject, and often heartily so? So, what gives, Loungers? Does Sauna's fuckery speak for you all? Is that the kind of environment you want to spend time in? I don't care who does it, doesn't have to be me, but unless you want to lounge in Sauna's little dictatorship, it's time to #walkaway and 2.0 the discord Lounge. And if you don't like the subject matter, fucking say something. WTF. Rather amusing that it was due to arbitrary, asshole mod behavior that we started the Discord Lounge in the first place, and you will all recall that Sauna had the biggest hard-on of outrage over Dragonsfoot in the first place. If you happen to agree with Sauna's behavior, do get fucked, and peace out.

Peaceout

Because it's the only way to take away Sauna's ban power.
I'm only talking about one fucking mouse click to another Discord room. Anyone who disagrees with Sauna banning people for no reason can start another Lounge in 15 seconds.

I don't think anyone wants to take away Sauna's ban power. There's only been three bans in a whole year. He's been super fair so far.

No complaints given, no warnings, no process that I could see. What a bunch of passive-aggressives. Yourself excluded, and a few others. You just make shitty arguments. It happens. Tell Etts I said "hey", and "fuck the Lounge, always - DP" I am still using Discord for gaming, perhaps we will all reconnoiter in suchlike fashion -

Where's the Sauna-free version?
Also, if ya'll don't want me back (which I understand), can someone try to help me get in touch with Ettin? I want to play Magic with him and can't find him.

The only surprise is that it took that long for the Lounges to further sunder.

In all honesty, I fully recall the issues past in Dragonsfoot lounge with MR. Reaper, Sauna, etc. I remember the Discord being made, and joining it. I was even well surprised at how VERY many people joined it. Fascinated me wholly. But I ended up passing it by because (at least early on) it felt just as empty as DF, in that there were only at most 5 people talking. It was more an idle corkboard for notes than an active chat of gamers, IMO at least. So what, if we could see who was "online"? If they weren't talking, it was meaningless fluff to see the member list. And few users were open to voice-chatting, which is a distinct and prime feature of Discord (and well over DF Lounge capabilities at that). It may have been a Phase 2 chatroom to shift power away from one person to the next, but bottom line? Mods are human. Give a human godlike absolute power? And shit happens. Truth be told, I mean no offense to anyone and I take no sides, but making a "2.0" or alternate chatroom will only once again put someone in power that can and will fuck up. If that person is already an angry human, why make him an angry god? Who would follow him?
More to specifics, there is no happy medium solution here. A Sauna-free chat will be drama-borne and draw more lines in the community. A "non-Sauna-mod" chat would be impossible without having a new discord channel, owned by and managed by a knowledgeable neutral party. It cant be Sauna or DP. And even then, picking any of the other lounge regulars is moot because they all are biased and will rub elbows eventually. There is no happy solution.
My best thought? Reconcile. Talk it out with the goal of forgiving eachother and making peace, not blaming and finding faults. Be adults. Use a mediator friend if need be. If not, be salty old-ass grognards. But when that stick up your asses gives you hemorrhoids in a couple months, you'd be wishing for the company of friends past instead of drinking alone on the couch, wiping crumbs off your beards.
Tough love. -Ry

ok just to amend my previous post which I made in the error of thinking that I didn't have the power to invite anyone to Ettin's channel discord.gg/xnqfmbAThat should get you in. Naturally you'll need to be a discord member
