Good evening everyone, Aedwen/Lepus here. FC lead of Gold and Glory.
Please allow me to make one thing clear. Every ban decision from gold and glory, is done by me, and me alone. No one else has authority to ban. Aegir. Is. Not. An. Officer. He is an event coordinator. That means, he coordinates events, and if he needs an officer he goes to me.
Now. Second. I believe in respecting an individuals privacy. Anyone who has been in a discord where I banned someone, knows I do not go around throwing the details to the wind to get others rallied against them. If I remove someone, I move on. I recognize, people may have their distastes in being kicked, or removed from a group. It can cause them to be upset. This is a valid feeling to have.
However, there is a limit involved. So I apologize, that today, we are not posting an event info or piece of art. Today, I will be going over some allegations that individuals whom were removed are trying to use against us, and having to provide names and context.
This. Is factually incorrect. The individual in question, is Ashe, leader of the Roses’ FC. Ashe was not banned for not banning Ciri. Ashe was removed from G&G events due to two reasons.
1. Accusations of pedophilic reddit moderation.
2. Her FC failing to abide by the rules set forth when I ruled on the above.
For context.
This was the ruling I gave, following those accusations against Ashe which could not be -proven- sufficiently for my liking, or dismissed either. Their FCs participation in any G&G event, was contingent upon the other co-hosts comfort.
We did not need to wait long for this to become an issue. Not long after, I was informed of the repeated actions of one cirina malqir. From the simple observation of the logs, and the talk with ashe, it was determined Cerina was above all else, not healthy to be present in blitzball and she was removed for the safety of other blitzball members.
At this same time, Ashe’s FC was told they could attend an event, but not bring Ashe with. To this, they declared and argued they would bring them anyways. For this reason, I decided G&G would not be doing any events with roses. For that reason, I removed Ashe temporarily to not provide the appearance of us coordinating, and because their accusations were still, again. Not proven without a doubt, or disproven without a doubt.
Ashe was not removed for not kicking Ciri. At the time, Ciri was not in Ashe’s FC. This narrative, is false.
After this, I had assumed, Ashe would wait until after the next season before speaking to me. I was wrong. Amidst busy lives, messages were not responded to where Ashe asked for entrance. When told they would not be allowed in for the season, they chose to sneak in.
You knew this Cagi. You yourself, said there was proper reason given for their removal.
Yes Cagi. You knew someone whom had been banned, and was evading our ban, was in blitzball. You knew what character they were, and you said nothing. As a referee, someone who helped make blitzball happen, you kept quiet.
You knowingly went behind our back and betrayed our trust. That is more than enough reason to remove you.
Again. This is false. No one has ever been banned just because their ‘teams didn’t like them’.
Don Coconero is based off Don Corneo from ff7. We thought the name was not too subtle for it to be missed. Secondly. You are discussing monetarist RP in Ul’dah. No one, is at any time, forced into any RP by G&G. If someone does not like RPing goofy monetarists who fall on their face and take bribes, you are not being forced to do so.
When I remove someone and ban them, I am not required to respond to their every whim Cagi. I work third shift. I work ten hour nights. If I miss and forget something, it happens. But no one is -owed- my time. I make it available out of a belief it is important to communicate. But if you have shown to me, a duplicitous nature, petty dealings, and assholery, I am not required to waste my time.
G&G is not the community. We do not go around demanding people remove others from their events. You were banned from our events. Please stop making it out like we’re trying to witch hunt you.
We chose to grow from that incident, to become pro-active. We terminated that individuals membership when it was clear who they really were. I assumed responsibility for the FC, and have been leading it since. Ashe was removed over concerns, and their behavior. Cirina was removed for her behavior. You were removed for your behavior.
You chose to try to take part in cancel culture, without logs, only words, because you knew the logs are not on your side. You know, your behavior was inappropriate. You willingly knew, you misrepresented events in your post. You waited until blitzball started, to try and cause the most issue within our community.
Please move on with your time in ff14, and find joy in a different group or community. But you are not welcome at anything gold and glory hosts.
- Edit. I was told some logs were squashed. Here is a doc. https://docs.google.com/document/d/1yfqjcfqJE5SncQs9bCyg0fXxC-EnRUQQUuf7kwTqidE/edit?usp=sharing
I recommend 150% for reading. They are in the order they appear.
