I had an issue in a game I was in very recently. Obviously the problem was with me, and of course I don't personally agree with the end result, but I wish to know others' opinions

if you want my opinion on the matter, I think it was just horrible communication on the other mun's part. if something about the thread was making him uncomfortable, then it's always talk to the player first before sounding the alarm like that.
if I were you, I'd jump ship and keep my dignity. that's a pretty poisonous environment to be in, and as someone who was considering playing a villainous-type there, that really turns me off from trying. also, while I don't entirely understand it, I'm sure that the anonymous nature of the game doesn't help people get over whatever irrational fears they have about approaching people OOCly. there really is no reason to be "shy" about talking to someone about a thread you're in.

'torment' can go either physical/emotional/etc, so physical approaches is legit. i read the log and okay, it seems that o-mun's character can fight on their own. while they're not looking for a fight based on their one-liner request (which is still not adequate enough!), your
