Livid, I say.
So, that stupid little bitch wasn't content with stealing my FAQ and my map (yes, yes, they finally fixed things so they weren't being plagiarists anymore, but that doesn't change the fact that they did it, and they have been completely unrepentant about it), she's trying to steal my players, too. crrowanwayland emailed me a copy of a private message she received just recently.

So . . . who's stalking whose journals and games, now?
Also, it isn't a forum. cougarridgegame doesn't have forums. Forum based games are something entirely different. Yes, I'm nitpicking. I'm livid.
And I'll have you all know, no matter how tempted I might have been, I never once sent private messages to any of their players (who weren't currently involved in cougarridgegame) to try to lure them away from That Other Stupid Fucking Game. I considered that to be beneath me, even with a player who was leaving their game and sounded discontent with the way they ran it.
Lastly, I realize that mathematics aren't everyone's strong suit, but last time I checked, "around twenty-eight weeks" is a lot closer to a little more than half a year (like by two weeks) than "a little shy of a year."
