🍀LUCKY’S 4th ANNIVERSARY, show #74 🍀

Lucky Sparrow’s show this month is in celebration of four great years on the stage! Which could not fit better with our Four leaf Goldclover Sound stage theme!

Our first show was in April of 2017 and it’s been a wonderful journey with each and every one of you out there in our community. Thank you for the humbling experience of performing for you and with you! Please come join us for our 4th anniversary this month on Sunday, April 25th! Doors open at 6PM EST. Show starts at 6:30PM EST! Support the troupe in your Golds and Greens at our house located on Balmung Server, Lavender Beds, Ward 16, Plot 36.

**For those with older computers, we suggest you seat yourselves in the front as to lower the chance of items despawning in the show space.**
There is no OOC entrance fee, we only roleplay out the ticket fee in character. We do not require any real in-game gil for admission. Donations are much appreciated and put towards renovating our venue and future shows, but not obligated. We most enjoy sharing a night of excitement and music with everyone!

We hope to see you there!

🍀Stay Lucky!🍀

Khuja’sae Fashonti ( @khujasae ) was the daring dreamer to imagine Lucky Sparrow into reality and continues to be the owner of the Goldclover Sound stage!  On this month’s poster we’ve included some of the past posters we’ve had. ♥

remember when you were a kid and whenever your parents came into the room while you were doing something for pleasure like looking at something on the computer or watching tv and you’d immediately close the thing like you’d just been caught watching porn when you were actually doing nothing wrong this post was made by strict parents with no boundaries gang

my dad: walks into the room while i’m playing club penguin the family computer

me:

I still have these habits

I still can’t use my computer with my back to the room if I’m not doing schoolwork

I get reaaaaaalllll nervous if people come up behind me or next to me or near me and I’m at my computer or on my phone or doing anything on a screen because of this.

Also, did anyone else set most of their social media accounts to private and, if possible, require passwords for people to access them? Or have secret email accounts to use to sign up for websites with secret accounts while using the first ones as the dummy accounts to make it seem like everything was squeaky clean to parents? I had about 5 email accounts when I was in 8th grade to keep a lot of stuff hidden.

esports is so powerful they will agree to use a sponsored player’s fursona in place of the actual player’s photo for promotional material

a lot of people are reblogging this and making fun of sonicfox but he’s one of the youngest most successful fighting game players alive like he’s earned over $300,000 through tournament winnings and he was instilling fear into adult competitors as early as 13 years old just by sitting next to them and pluggin his controller in like the kid’s a god 

I can also say he’s one of the best people to ever commission me ever. Payed me extra, checked on me periodically not for art progress but because he saw I was going through some stuff and gave me tips on my FANG in SFV. Dude’s an angel and a friend

Call me when he makes top 3 in a real game lmfao 

S C O R C H E D

I’d like you to know that Sonicfox is currently the number one ranked player in both Mortal Kombat X and Injustice: Gods Among Us, not to mention he is the second most ranked player in Skullgirls.

So yeah, HE’S MADE IT INTO THE TOP 3 ALRIGHT

The God of Videogames is a fucking furry and I’m SO DAMN PROUD.

I would also like to note that he looks like this

And before you ask, no. The hat was not a one time thing. 

He wears it in pretty almost every match he plays. And to my memory, he has only took it off ONCE during a match.

His hat is the equivalent of to Jason Voorhees’s mask. Because you know you’re FUCKED when he takes it off

So About The Crimson Halls

Good afternoon, Valythra Bloodmoon here, fresh off the Onyx Rose bandwagon. Pretty much directly after I left the Onyx Rose Order, roughly an hour, I receive some interesting news.

My girlfriend was removed from The Crimson Halls Discord. I was banned for good measure. A friend of mine who was not even in the Crimsons Halls but still associated with me was also banned. So far any inquiries on their banning have gone ignored.

Now, if this was just the Onyx Rose’s little thing, then the guild master would be perfectly in the right. Both my girlfriend and I had left the Onyx Rose by this point, so what point would we have to be in an Onyx Rose server? None.

But this is not an Onyx Rose server, now is it?

For those who do not know what The Crimson Halls server is, it is a public server for any and all San’layn roleplayers to come in and connect, and have a good time playing vampyr. Allegedly, this being public and not officially tied to the Onyx Rose would mean that it should be treated as separate, yes? The admins even expressed interest in wanting to expand beyond just consisting of Onyx Rose members.

So it boggles my mind when I leave the guild and send my reasoning as to why to the guild master, and find myself banned from the server where I had done absolutely nothing wrong. I left preemptively, of course, but it feels strange for something so separate from the Onyx Rose to become absolutely barred to me for reasons strictly confined to the Onyx Rose.

But the real issue is that my girlfriend was removed from the server, after doing… hm, nothing. Literally nothing. She was not talking in there, unless it was to help someone, and she did nothing wrong. Well, nothing beyond being directly associated with me. Me, who sent the guild master three lengthy posts explaining why I could not stomach his behavior any further.

This is not the objective move of someone who is thinking in the interests of a community he wants to lead. This is a petty move against someone who has slighted him, completely uncalled for and completely unjustified. This is a roundabout attempt to get back at me by hurting someone I love. This is someone who wants to continue to cement his hold on his monopoly.

When asked where people suddenly went, this was the answer:

I guarantee you this is untrue in the case of my girlfriend. It is absolutely true in my case, as I left of my own volition. But my girlfriend was simply sitting in that server, like most of the quiet people in there. She did nothing, yet she was removed and falls under the claim that we’re all just going our separate ways.

This is not the first time the Onyx Rose’s standards or affairs muddied the judgment of the admins of The Crimson Halls.

The two admins of The Crimson halls are the same people who run the Onyx Rose Order as guild masters and, despite this supposedly not being the Onyx Rose, they treat it as such. They enforce the rules of their guild, not the rules of the server (and even mention an application they do not even have, that’s cute). It’s as if they know that, in reality, the server is literally just a part of their guild, and an attempt to rake in any San’layn roleplayers they can to file under their monopoly on San’layn roleplay.

It is these standards that forced four people to leave the server in a single given moment, one of them quitting WoW entirely because of Tyrinade’s abuse. Any meeting this server has is literally just a union of the Onyx Rose’s San’layn, and I can tell you right now that this project is dead in the water if they keep on like this. 

There are guilds out there with little pockets of San’layn who I already know are going to get on the admins’ bad side and start receiving all the lectures on how to “properly” roleplay San’layn. This community is not going to fly if they continue stepping on anyone who does not conform to their “standards” of San’layn roleplay, even when it has literally nothing to do with them or their server.

Just for good measure, I think I am going to include the actual harassment someone had to go through over their San’layn RP, and what it really looks like to RP a San’layn with Tyrinade.

Here’s an album of screenshots of what it looks like to have your idea crushed by Tyrinade. For good measure, I was asked to share screenshots of the DM that followed, with permission from Vix herself. https://imgur.com/a/ZdRbTbH

It does not matter who was correct in the debate, or even how “lore-friendly” any of it is, only that people see that this is how Tyrinade handles RP. Anything he thinks does not conform to his interpretation of lore is crushed and the people involved are bullied into a corner until they change it. 

People need to realize that their vague concept of lore adherence, which is ultimately just an interpretation, is not an excuse to bully and harass someone until they think their way. If you disagree with someone that much, leave it alone. No one has any right nor authority to get in someone’s face to this extent over roleplay that has nothing to do with them and does not even include them.

This is the Crimson Halls roleplay server alone. I’m not even describing what the Onyx Rose itself involves. I am hoping at least that someone sees what is transpiring here for what it is, an attempt to monopolize roleplay and control people with the abuse of administrative power.

This sort of behavior is what turns the Moon Guard roleplay community from being a safe place for people to create and express themselves, into a toxic cesspool. It is my hope that those in the community who see this post, carefully look at the associations that they have with this guild, this discord and it’s officers.  This is not the first, nor will it be the last, incident of them using their position of power to force change, belittle, and ban people from their discords. Didn’t the Co-GM just recently show support for the DK discord where Berenal, the GM of Blades of Greymane,’s life was threatened (at least, someone said they hoped that he would get shot in the crotch/forehead and pushed in front of a train)? In her post, she mentions that she doesn’t understand people trying to force their own headcanons on others–quite interesting, given this information on her own GM.

Welp. Honestly had issues with this back before I left (over a year ago). The current gm and assorted managed to run off the previous gm (and most of the officers - me included- and a good chunk of the active roleplayers). They harassed and bullied a few members before and after a rise in power, and even gave a friend of mine one hell of a crappy time (to the point where she almost left the game for good). Not everyone in the guild is/was bad, but there are definitely some bad ones in there. I knew Tyrinade back when he went by Gobbo, he seemed much chiller as an officer. 

Because it has to be seen.
