On this PbP site I'm active on my character had been developing an IC relationship with another character. As a member of the Spring Court -- and one who had been questioning her purpose within it -- this was a Good Thing. My character had come out of the shell she had been in for six months and was actually showing an interest in getting out and doing stuff. Things were going along well until.....
......the other player got caught stealing the coding for the site features and also creatively "borrowing" other peoples' character concepts to be used as NPCs for the site he was building. He was also spamming members with invitations to join the other site. He was banned, and for once I agree with the site owner. It was the very least he deserved for plagiarizing the ideas of other players -- and having found a link to that site some of them were pretty blatant as to their ripped-off nature.
So now, since the characters belonging to this guy have been pulled, my own character is sort of caught in a limbo. She has no IC knowledge of her friend's departure so I can't post any reactions to it. She was making progress in social activity. So much for that, I guess. The only logical thing I can come up with is that she decides to leave the Court and move on to another one, or I retire the character. It's not what I really wanted to do -- I wanted her to have a chance to regain some of the passion which made her a Spring courtier and to enjoy the process via good RP.
I'm totally stumped as to what to do next for her. Thanks a lot, jerk.
