Dear Nostalgists

[GD roleplay blog]

[gdstal]

Hello (Geometry Dash) World!

[ooc: this is a blog for my personification of the Geometry Dash level Dear Nostalgists by TriAxis. square brackets or green text = out of character]

Recently Arty gave me access to the internet, and apparently set up functionality with Tumblr in my code without me knowing.

So, hello! I'm Dear Nostalgists, or just Stal for short. I was made as a level by TriAxis, but Arty (Artificial Ascent) programmed my identity and stuff somehow.

I'm not sure how much I'll use this platform, but I imagine it'll be fun nonetheless!

They/she pronouns! :]

Please be careful, anyone in the server. The "Lobotomy virus" from early 2.2 seems to be making a return, from what I've heard.

The symptoms include extreme dizziness, sudden fainting, hallucinations and delirium, but it's very rarely if ever fatal. It's also highly contagious.

It is also known to affect robots as well, and seems to cause slower processing as well as affecting various sensors.

please

please be careful

To all who are on this site and the Discord sever, I request help. I am currently being coerced by a powerful entity and she is threatening me to do labour for her. I am currently in my own room, but do not be surprised if I can be found in Overnight's room. I am requesting help as fast as possible.

[gdstal]

??

How could I help exactly?

[ask-gd-ad-honorem]

Having read what @gdstal has said about the anonymous asks me and many other people received, I am extremely worried of this "cult" she suggested. I also fear what could happen if this supposed leader comes into our residence. I believe we need to have at least some kind of background screening for people coming on, perhaps even a simple check of a criminal record could suffice? At the very least, we need to be able to weaponize the possibility of exile.

I need some second opinions to weigh in on this though; nobody gets things right on the first try.

[gdstal]

I'm not entirely sure background screening for new joiners is the best idea.

Take Dragon Force for example. (And I will admit, this info is all second-hand. I've never had much chance to talk to him.) He used to be known as one of the most annoying levels to talk to, and to some people he still is, but ever since joining the Discord he's been one of the least problematic members, aside from an admittedly rough entrance.

I do agree with you that there needs to be some form of regulation, especially if people are mailing each other pipe bombs and whatnot, but people can and often do change. I'd hate for someone with genuinely good intentions to be banned from the server outright just because of past actions.

[ask-gd-ad-honorem]

Thank you for conversing about this issue with me, however, I think that you are misunderstanding what I attempt to say.

When I say that we need to screen somebody's background, I do not mean that we should ban somebody who is "annoying" or "weird" or any other minor inconvenience. What I am referring to is somebody who is a convicted murderer, or other extreme warning signs such as that.

If however, that is what your last statement refers to, allow me to offer a counter: an interview with the person themselves. Have them talk about what they have done, and attempt to evaluate whether they are being truthful or not

[gdstal]

Yeah, that's fair.

I think that last idea you had is really the best of both worlds actually! As long as there's someone willing to actually do these interviews, that should definitely at least lower the odds that someone malicious joins the server.

Still probably not a perfect solution, but I kinda doubt there even is one.

Dear Decode,

Hello, I have heard that you are having difficulties relating to your position on the demon list. I believe I have methods that will be able to help you. Just go into my profile and read my website for more information

@the-angel-from-above

i was never on the demonlist >?

quite a strange ask; if not a little ominous_

[gdstal]

I don't want to throw out strong accusations without having much evidence, but this so-called "angel" and her "community" definitely seem to show signs of being a cult.

To any other levels who might be reading this, you probably shouldn't try and join in on whatever this is.

opinion ob 2.2 levels

There's a big variety of 2.2 levels out there, so I can't really give a general opinion on all of them.

Plus, I'm not sure I've actually spoken to any yet. I was only given the ability to talk and stuff very recently.

[gdstal]

😁

You terrify me.

(/silly)

[gdstal]

I think my CPU's clock skipped a tick from this jumpscare.
