You bark...I BITE!: May 2010

Who is Grace Loudon?
She is the owner of the Everwind Realm and estates…
To some she is an angel…
To most she is the devil in disguise…

It all started when Grace announced that she would rebuild Everwind and she was recruiting leaders for her sims. She ‘hired’ many people and let them do their thing without giving them any feed-back about what her idea for HER roleplay sim. Many raceleaders DID their thing and the group was growing. Many events were held. People were enjoying themselves.

At that time I had my own Information&Events group for the medieval/Fantasy roleplay. It was growing fast and had about 500 active members. Grace had a group as well but was not active. So I offered to merge both groups cuz most it would be useless to have 2 of the same groups. She agreed and I merged my group with hers and I became a co-owner.

WHAT A STUPID MISTAKE WAS THAT! Grace started to use the group for her own personal wars… Some sims weren’t allowed to post notices and members were ejected because she has a personal problem with them.

Tswei: “Everwind and Medi-Fantasy Events & Information are Two seperate groups , One is a roleplay sim and the other is for ALL Roleplay sims of Medievl Fantasy Events.
in neither of these groups was a rule broken by Tsewi Erien , the owner became hostle and upset because it was brought to her attatition about her OWN rules of being nice to others and NOT resort to the level of name calling which she did with someone. All Tsewi did was point this out and for this the owner of the sim Everwind and co owner of Medi-Fantasy Events & Information banned Tsewi Erien from both groups. Upon this Banning her Second life partner Imed Tsewi and said she was Banned from Everwind where Tsewi told him that Grace Loudon had already Banned her , he then called her an Idiot” .
[20:13] Grace Loudon: You have been ejected from 'Medi-Fantasy Events & Information' by Grace Loudon.
[20:17] Tsewi Eiren: you can eject me from the sim but you CAN NOT eject me from Medi-Fantasy Events & information
[20:17] Tsewi Eiren: I have NOt BROKEN Any Rules
[20:17] Tsewi Eiren: nor Have I broken a Rule in Everwind.

[21:15] Sean Devin: You have been ejected from 'Everwind' by Sean Devin.
[21:17] Tsewi Eiren: your a little too late on that one Grace has already done that
[21:17] Tsewi Eiren: but that is ok , I did NOT break any rules
[21:18] Sean Devin: Muted.. Idiot.. Bye!

This is what happened in the EW groupchat… and please tell me where Tsewi did something wrong…
[19:45] Talen Braumley: is esme, graces other avatar online?
[19:46] Janet Rothmanay: Given that Grace herself is DJing, I'd imagine not.
[19:46] Sean Devin: No Esme is a fraud all the way around

[20:03] Talen Braumley: esme i dont know her last name said she was grace
[20:03] Tsewi Eiren: well what ever is going on , Shouldnt resort to name calling
[20:04] Grace Loudon laughs - uh...yeah
[20:04] Tsewi Eiren: and if someone falsely said they were Grace then , That log should be given to Grace in privite IM
[20:05] Grace Loudon: Tsewi - the idiot responsible for it did it
[20:05] Tsewi Eiren: and should not be brought to Group Chat
[20:06] Grace Loudon: Oh I see - well thank you chat cop.
[20:06] Grace Loudon: Being as it's my sim - I'll say what I like in chat.
[20:06] Tsewi Eiren: someone wanting to cause Trouble , teheh did you make someone mad
[20:07] Tsewi Eiren: just because one is above normal shouldnt they also heed to the same codes that they enforce on their players ?
[20:07] Grace Loudon: I'm about to make you mad
[20:07] Tsewi Eiren: no you cant make me mad
[20:07] Sean Devin: No but I will
[20:07] Dyisi Oppewall holds up the big "Quite while you're ahead" sign and flails.
[20:07] Tsewi Eiren: the truth is the truth
[20:08] Grace Loudon: buh bye
[20:08] Tsewi Eiren: bye

Meanwhile, Grace suddenly stepped in and started to replace race-/guild leaders… She wasn’t happy with the vision of the chosen path of the leaders: “It does not fit the Everwind vision”. While at an earlier point, in many conversations she said she was very pleased with about how smoothly things were running. And really, those raceleaders were VERY ACTIVE.

Android Nakajima: when she spoke with my husband through IM's, she threatened to take his role as wild elf leader if he did not let someone into the group that was bad news. she specifically said that anyone is allowed to join a race group of their choice as long as "the leader of the group accepts them". she said nothing about you HAVE to accept them or else you get depromoted. She even told him she was giving him a certain amount of time to add him to the group, and if he didnt when his time was up, she was taking his role and rights away. Shes power hungry and manipulative in my eyes. Anyone who doesnt do what she wants, she threatend to eliminate. And this is not just said by over hearing, I have seen this for myself.

Magda was forced to leave and Dream (best friend of Grace) was put in her place
[9:30] Grace Loudon: Talk to me about this rp last night or whenever it took place - with the "husband" trying to "murder" the old Tari
[9:31] Magdalenamarie Morrisey: you want the rp
[9:31] Grace Loudon: No - I would like to know the idea behind it. I'm curious to know why he would even choose to go in that direction.
[9:34] Magdalenamarie Morrisey: From what i have read he is not happy with the unrest and discontent she is starting in the realm. She is clearly here to berate and belittle my rule. Every chanse she gets she is insulting to me. IC wise ofcourse. I think he sees this and thinks her to be posessed.
[9:35] Magdalenamarie Morrisey: i think he is angered and going that direction cause of her attitude towards me. More people are going against her now than before its causing a huge rift in the people
[9:35] Grace Loudon: Okay here's what we need to remember.
[9:35] Grace Loudon: And you need to make sure he is clear on this.
[9:36] Grace Loudon: I *want* Dream here. Any efforts to make it difficult for her to do what I have asked her to do will result in you being removed from the role.
[9:36] Magdalenamarie Morrisey: Grace I am not gdoing this its his rp i cant control his rp
[9:36] Grace Loudon: Everwind is my sim. You are playing a role in it. If I had wanted her to take over, I would have asked you to step down alreayd.
[9:37] Grace Loudon: Yes you can - tell him to knock it off. Or I will.
[9:37] Magdalenamarie Morrisey: yes but he doesnt know ths ic
[9:37] Grace Loudon: I am not talking IC at the moment Magda.
[9:38] Magdalenamarie Morrisey: yes but i am telling you his reasoning clearly she can not be killed and when he gets in again I will talk tohim on it
[9:39] Grace Loudon: Dream is here to help - to advise - to get the elven groups in the right frame of mind. Right now, there is a great deal of animosity, unhappy people and the role is not taking hold like I had hoped. She is knowledgeable - she is experienced. Roleplay is roleplay, but you and I both know that you are being resentful out of character. I've seen the roleplay - I've seen the comments - I know the difference.
[9:39] Magdalenamarie Morrisey: Me no way
[9:39] Grace Loudon: Oh yes indeed you
[9:39] Magdalenamarie Morrisey: i am still going on she is going to help me
[9:40] Magdalenamarie Morrisey: I am just giving her it back as she doe me
[9:40] Grace Loudon: What is the "if they don't like the job I'm doing..." comment about then?
[9:40] Grace Loudon: Who is "they?
[9:40] Magdalenamarie Morrisey: i said that ic
[9:40] Magdalenamarie Morrisey: to soa in rp
[9:40] Grace Loudon: Who is they?
[9:40] Magdalenamarie Morrisey: what they
[9:40] Grace Loudon: Magda.
[9:40] Magdalenamarie Morrisey: where did i say that
[9:40] Grace Loudon: I am not stupid./
[9:41] Magdalenamarie Morrisey: no i honestly dont knwo where i saud they
[9:41] Grace Loudon: You said that, more than once, in the first night roleplay. Then I saw it again in the second night rp
[9:41] Magdalenamarie Morrisey: ohhhh
[9:41] Magdalenamarie Morrisey: yeah yeah
[9:41] Magdalenamarie Morrisey: i put dyisi and her togther
[9:41] Magdalenamarie Morrisey: them 2 have been after me the most
[9:41] Grace Loudon sighs
[9:42] Grace Loudon: Just stop
[9:42] Magdalenamarie Morrisey: I am trying to think of a way to shut him down ic
[9:43] Grace Loudon: I can read, I know how defensive you are over this. I know, and you know, that you are crossing the line a bit. It doesn't have to be stressful - Dream is trying to stick to the rp - she was a hardass before, she's a hardass now - I told you she doesn't mince words and she's direct
[9:43] Magdalenamarie Morrisey: i dont what to tell him ooc
[9:43] Magdalenamarie Morrisey: but grace even in ic you dont think mags would be defensive
[9:44] Magdalenamarie Morrisey: if you seen the rp iot seems that everything mags does isnt good enough
[9:44] Grace Loudon: Ultimately, I want the elven group in Everwind to be haughty, protective of The Magic, revered and to "rule" the sim. She's going to help you make that happen. In roleplay - she was sent by the elven goddess...that should be something held in awe - not fought
[9:44] Magdalenamarie Morrisey: I think i am acting my role accordingly
[9:44] Grace Loudon: I disagree
[9:44] Magdalenamarie Morrisey: yes i get that
[9:44] Magdalenamarie Morrisey: then how am I to act towards her you tell me
[9:45] Grace Loudon: Cooperate
[9:45] Magdalenamarie Morrisey: i have done nothing but that
[9:45] Magdalenamarie Morrisey: i offer my hand and she bites it
[9:45] Magdalenamarie Morrisey: i have the rp
[9:45] Magdalenamarie Morrisey: i tell her i will listen
[9:45] Magdalenamarie Morrisey: that i want t meet
[9:45] Magdalenamarie Morrisey: that i am open to hear her
[9:46] Grace Loudon: Yeah I do too - that's not what's coming across.
[9:46] Magdalenamarie Morrisey: but she is still insulting
[9:47] Grace Loudon: Listen, if Dream wants to insult you, she will insult you and you will know it. You are taking it far too personally - yet you claim you're good about keeping IC and OOC separate. You're not, actually. Stop taking it personally. Start cooperating. Let her help you organize and refocus the elven groups - all of them - so you can enjoy your role more without the drama
[9:48] Magdalenamarie Morrisey: If i am doing that i dont even know it.
[9:48] Magdalenamarie Morrisey: cause i thought i was acting accordingly
[9:48] Magdalenamarie Morrisey: grace she si being insulting i am not the only one that sees it
[9:49] Grace Loudon: So?
[9:49] Magdalenamarie Morrisey: So she can be insulting to me and I have to take it
[9:49] Magdalenamarie Morrisey: i mean i need to rp this correctly the way you want it
[9:51] Grace Loudon: Here's what I am saying to you: You know the ultimate goal for the group on the sims. Dream is not sugary - she is abrupt and can be hard - play against that. Be respectful but be the ruler. Don't gripe about it behind the scenes so the new hubby feels the need to try to off her. Make it reasonable rp - be cooperative - work with her - stop fighting her
[9:52] Magdalenamarie Morrisey: ok how do i do this rp wise
[9:54] Grace Loudon: Were it me she was roleplaying with, I would say things like "Thank you, Dream. I am grateful to Illustree for sending you to us. We trust and welcome your advisement. Please, let us go to a more private place to talk more about what the problems are and what we must do, together, to solve them." When the people you spend time with see that you are working with it, they will to.
[9:54] Grace Loudon: It's going to create a ton of roleplay for you and all the prople in the group
[9:54] Grace Loudon: More responsibiliies, more interest in the realms...it will pay off
[9:55] Magdalenamarie Morrisey: ok i thought i was doing that but mags in charcter is not a push over. i am not taking this ooc she is acting in charcter
[9:55] Magdalenamarie Morrisey: I did try that
[9:55] Magdalenamarie Morrisey: numerous times
[9:55] Grace Loudon: You don't need to be a pushover - perhaps if you keep in mind that being smart doesn't mean being weak.
[9:55] Grace Loudon: You are the Queen of Everwind
[9:56] Grace Loudon: You love your home and its people
[9:56] Grace Loudon: You have a duty to protect it
[9:56] Grace Loudon: Here is help, sent by the goddess herself
[9:56] Grace Loudon: To help you accomplish that
[9:57] Magdalenamarie Morrisey: I will try again with her and save the rp for you. As far as Vogonic is concerned i would rather stop him ic wise then make this an ooc issue
[9:58] Magdalenamarie Morrisey: Now how would i do that short of throwing him in jail
[9:58] Grace Loudon: That's fine but he's your partner so make sure he understands the goals of this

Magda and some others made a new RP realm, far away from all EW/Grace drama… and she suddenly gets an IM from Grace…
[18:15] Grace Loudon: Really?
[18:16] Grace Loudon: You are trying to recruit from Everwind?
[18:16] Grace Loudon: Tell me, is your sim open?
[18:16] Grace Loudon: I'm sending an alt to recruit for Everwind.
[18:17] Magdalenamarie Morrisey: huh
[18:17] Grace Loudon: Don't play dumb
[18:17] Magdalenamarie Morrisey: are you nuts
[18:17] Magdalenamarie Morrisey: i have not once set foot in ew since i oopened
[18:17] Grace Loudon: I have IM after Im and NCs out my ass of people complaining about people from Grym coming to EW to get players
[18:18] Grace Loudon: yes you have - on your alt
[18:18] Magdalenamarie Morrisey: thats them not me nope not even nce
[18:19] Magdalenamarie Morrisey: Im claw cause he is talking to ellie about the exact same thing
[18:19] Magdalenamarie Morrisey: i havent done a damned thing so stop harassing me and acting a fool
[18:19] Magdalenamarie Morrisey: bye grace

And this is some more bullshit from Grace:
[18:54] Grace Loudon‧: Yes, yes you are
[18:54] Grace Loudon‧: Really - to have people go to another sim?
[18:54] Grace Loudon‧: I would have helped you all - that's the cruncher
[18:54] Grace Loudon‧: You are sore losers.
[18:57] Grace Loudon‧: Oh bite me - you don't know me and you never will. i don't tolerate your BS or your drama - just go play on your sim and leave mine alone. Who do you think you're kidding with your holier than thou attitude
[18:57] Grace Loudon‧: I'm not impress

Grym was opened and recruiting new players via a notice I sent in the Events&Information group…
Then I got this IM from Grace… and remember, I was co-owner of that group at that time!
[5:37] Grace Loudon: (Saved Thu May 27 14:28:54 2010) Hey Essie - please do not post any more notices for the Grym roleplay sim - thank you:)
[5:37] Essie Radford: Why not?
[5:38] Essie Radford: every sim is entitled to present themselves
[5:38] Grace Loudon: Because it is my group. And because they have poached for players in my sim.
[5:38] Essie Radford: you should put yourself above that Grace
[5:39] Grace Loudon: If they seek out players using those methods, they are not entitled to anything
[5:39] Grace Loudon: Essie - don't think for a moment I'll be lectured.
[5:39] Essie Radford: It is a group for all public announcements....
[5:39] Grace Loudon: It is *my* group.
[5:39] Essie Radford: and lets keep the simfights out of it
[5:40] Grace Loudon: I will determine what it's used for.
[5:40] Essie Radford: it is *our* group, since you agreed to join
[5:40] Essie Radford: I am not taking sides in anything, but we should stay nutral
[5:41] Grace Loudon: No it is my group.
[5:41] Grace Loudon: Thank you, Essie.

After that convo, I found myself being removed as owner via a ticket to LL.

People that were playing in Grymm were removed from the Everwind sims…
Vog: “If you have been banned from EW for rping with us, I would like to offer you my apologies because I respect your RP and your feelings as human beings and no one should be treated that way. Let your heart lead you to the sim where you feel most at home and welcome. If you choose to stay with us I appreciate hearing any of your suggestions for the sim or RP story lines. We'll do our best to ensure your RP here is satisfying. I would love to rant about this idea of "Poaching", but I won't.”

And this is what was send in the EW groups….
*In Everwind, I need to make it clear to all of our leaders that it is my preference that that leaders of Everwind *not* have leadership/administrator/gamemaster roles at other roleplay sims. If you find you are in that position, then I will require you choose which sim you wish to commit that time to and step down from your role in Everwind, if that's your choice. it doesn't mean you can't play in Everwind by any means.
*Part of the success of Everwind is the attentiveness of its leaders. The requirements are still in place for all who step up to the responsibility and in my opinion, when your time is shared with more than one sim, the requirements of EW cannot be met. Feel free to IM me if you have questions, concerns, etc. Thank you! As always, for your help in making Everwind such a great place to play!
*Please remove the following from any groups you operate within Everwind: Randy Magnifico, Essie Radford, Mark Scofield.

Ermmm very childish don’t you think… Not that I was in any of her groups anymore. I left when the drama started. But banning an sl partner…lolll… how LOW can you get.

I think she is scared…. Cuz she sent me this:
[21:43] Grace Loudon: (Saved Fri May 28 02:42:20 2010) I'm sure they're lined up to join your group with that drama-laden introduction. It's a shame, really. You have *no clue* who I am, what I do or why i do it. I could very well stoop to your level and post my own little "whoa is me" notecard...but i won't. I'll just let you wallow down there in the mud by yourself. Have a good one, Essie.
[21:45] Essie Radford: I think YOU have *NO CLUE* who I am, what I do or WHY i do it.... Shame that ppl were right about you...... MUTED, oww and I muted the Banhammer too

I made a new group for Events/Info/Help for medieval/fantasy roleplay… and a friend of mine announced it in the ‘old’ Events group.
“A NEW RP GROUP: A group where people can find information and events from all over the medieval/fantasy roleplay grid... and also a group where people help people. We all started somewhere....
A few months ago, THIS group was bleeding to death, and it later emerged with another ACTIVE group. There was DRAMA that involved the founder, several rp-ers, realmowners and myself... SAD, yes i know! And we are now forced to SPLIT from this group... a new and IMPROVED RP group. Sign up:)”
And this was Graces reply: “Please forgive the drama folks...nothing more than a disgruntled former member who had a hard time keepinjg up with the rules.”

Very professional, don’t you think?

And here is a lil message for Grace….
“Enjoy your SL, your Realm… Enjoy that little Island you are on… and please enjoy your power-tripping. YOU ARE NOTHING. NOTHING cuz YOU don’t consider ppl’s feelings and you only care about yourself and your sl playground. You want ppl to lay at your feet… to jump around and obey like dogs! YOU ARE DEALING WITH PEOPLE WHO HAVE REAL FEELINGS!!!!”
