PernWank, v. 2.0
On the PernMu Discussion Forums, there is a user called tEhtWinK, who is now going to be called 'Twink' so that I don't have to type that monstrosity over again.

She Impresses a gold dragon on a game called PernWorld, known for its amazingly awful and wanktastic wizard, Mynti. Forum admin Neva starts a thread called What the hell were they thinking? about putting her on gold.

The best observation is made by Neva in response to user Carise, who comes to Twink's defense:
Casiella/tEhtWink, in the period she was applying or shortly before:

1. Got kicked off SC on another game for breaking confidentiality on the Xanadu knot to talk about one of the metallic applications from the other game. (Great behavior for a future SC lead!)
2. Threw a tantrum for nobody offering to puppet her for the Igen Hatching, and solved that problem by actually quitting her job. (How responsible!)
3. Her Igen Weyrling sent her dragon into hysterics ICly by trying to reject her. (Wonderfully canon.) Quote from the log:

Timorell pauses as she is slapped, her eyes going wide. Her face gets even redder, as if this is possible, and she screams. "I AM NOT SPOILED!" She screeches at him, whirling and stabbing a finger accusingly at Navi. "AND YOU TOLD ME TO LEAVE IN THE FIRST PLACE! Don't you tell me how to live me life! You don't know ANYTHING! NONE OF YOU KNOW ANYTHING! Morieth's FINE. She doesn't need ME! One of YOU adopt her under your wing if your care about her so much! I was going to take her with me. But you won't let her leave. So now /I'M/ going. WITH OR WITHOUT HER!" Somebody is seriously, seriously unhinged. Morieth lets out a wail of anguish and pain.

If one knows Pern canon at all, one ought to know that rejecting a dragon? Is a big no.

Wank does not explode, just simple shitflinging conversation, like is usual on these forums.

... that is, until conversation about Twink's game, Timor Rising, goes ballistic.

KarmaBum points out that just recently, Twink had been acting like a suckup toward Mynti (I believe this was previously featured at F_W) and we should have all seen this coming. Carise and Lyna still defend her. Bets are made: what goes first, Twink's game or the PW gold?

Then the game's ad returns, and Schmitt observes, Even if it wasn't run by TehTwink, I'd never play on a Pern game where they have warnings that your commands may be logged by the wizards at any time so watch out! I like being an adult, thanks.

Apparently, Timor Rising claims that they will log EVERY SINGLE THING EVERY PLAYER ENTERS OMG onto their own private files, including private pages, mails, and scenes.

And, along with J'han's observation of
The big problem with the logging thing, Tehanu, is that there is another rule on TR that says NO OOC DISRESPECT. So put these two policies together and it reads like "I'm going to log everything and go through everyone's pages to make sure my peons aren't talking shit about me," which is... not good.


... wank not only breaks out, but all the shit hits all the fans. For five pages.

O NOES!!!! We have ALL lost our BIG CHANCE to Impress Gold at Xanadu on PernWorld. QUICK everyone! We must APOLOGIZE and PROMISE to MEND OUR WAYS and perhaps ONE DAY after many many years of brownnosing we will be BACK IN C'IAN'S GOOD GRACES and then we can Impress the Gold that is OUR RIGHT AS PERN PLAYERS BECAUSE WE ARE TEH AWESOME!!!!!1

Between this and his sig file, which I suspect is a riff on "Who's the greatest pilot you ever saw?" from The Right Stuff, I don't know who BrownieBoy is but I want to have his internet babies.

Pern wank? Holy crap. I had no idea there was enough online fandom to produce wank, and I've been reading these books since I was in 7th grade. Jeez, I really need to stay inside more. ~ shallow_kid

There are scores of RPGs. Some are good. Many are crap.

Oh god, Pern wank has been around for AAAAAAAAGES. Read through the history on that board. Lord, eight or nine years ago, when I first put my toe into the water at the Harper's Tale MOO, wank was everywhere, and I didn't even know it. Mostly because I was a naive 13 year old, but what can you do?

I don't post on the BBoard often, largely because I haven't done PernMu*ing in... years, but Twink's whole arc has been hilarious. From her initial "I'm LEAVING! FOREVER!" under her original SN, to coming back under this one and trying to be the baddest ass ever, to the transparent gold-grabbing Mynti about-face, to the utter shock that she thinks advertising her game, repeatedly, on that board is a good idea... Good laughs.

And yet still, somehow I miss it.

What they apparently don't know is that basically all MUSHes/MUCKS/MU-anythings log your every command.

It's called a command log, and I'm pretty sure all games have them -- if there's a way to not have one I don't know about it -- but most of them don't tell you about it. So, uh, Schmitt had better turn off the computer and go sit in the corner with tinfoil on his head or something. *cough*

(What they OBVIOUSLY don't know is that command logs are massive and disorganized and unless you 1. know EXACTLY when something was entered, 2. know what was entered in some fairly accurate detail, enough to use grep to hunt it down, or 3. want to slog through a meg of raw text, you can't find a damn thing in a command log.)

Carise is the person who gave Twink the gold. Hence the protection. She's still sore that nobody wants to trust her with anything sharper than a crayon anymore...and that's pretty sad considering that it's PernWorld.

See, the real thing about this is, this new game of hers? She started it before the gold-on-PernWorld thing. She posted to announce an opening date, ask for help, etc. And then... nothing. Then we find she's Impressed on PW.

And then, suddenly, *very* quickly after I mention that her so-called game is a wasteland that looks nothing like open, there's a big kick to finish everything and get open Right Now. Except that even after their pushed-back opening date, the game is only half-finished.

If abandoning a project for a very Mary Sue sort of character and a Shiny Special Dragon wasn't bad enough, launching the project again just because somebody on a forum noticed it had died... is a pretty sure way to get people to start snarking at you. :)

I would not, however, call it all shit hitting the fans. Where was this community when the girl threatened to sue me for allowing someone else to reveal her first real name... which just happened to constitute the username (along with her real surname) of her publicly-used email address? Claiming that her business and her family were in jeopardy because of discussion about her fandom twinkery? All shit hasn't hit until I've had to start banning people!
