what actions is a person supposed to acknowledge when a rpt blog decided to be a jerk off and drag a group through the mud because they didn't ban a certain face claim fast enough to their likely? and even after they did ban the fc in question, this blog continued their harassment in posts with name calling that was far off kilter. seems nothing more than the pot calling the kettle black. this blog is everything that is wrong with the rpc. if a person did apologize you'd be first in line to pick it apart. just fuck off, already. this blog and your opinions are pointless.

What's up Ry? Guess since my anon isn't turned off you didn't have to send this from @get-a-life-and-sod-off. Good job on making it more obvious how much of an abusive person you are. I see it's hard for you to believe that more than one or two person see you for what you are, but I can assure you, there are plenty who knows how toxic and rotten you are, and they didn't have to hide behind fake accounts to tell me. You're just a coward who can't even assume his own opinions and actions. Keep sending anons, I'll only ignore them.

Ry deleted newyorkmafiahq and changed it to nysmhq!

Love how he says their group of writers are inclusives. Inclusives as long as you play white and cis characters.

It’s so strange to me that someone would go to such great lengths when they could just have acknowledged their actions, sincerely apologized and improved. Guess it’s to constantly change name and URL. Guess it’s easier to try and Catfish people.

newyorkmafiahq has the same problems as DoW. Every character is cis and only 2 are dark skinned.

And they don't have a diversity rule. Imagine saying everyone can play up to 12 characters and not encouraging these 12 characters to be diverse in any way.

ry's @fivefamiliesnyc has moved to @newyorkmafiahq .looked into it and it's all the same characters. it's also painful to watch some old dow members still there, either falling for ry's tricks or rooting for them

I can confirm this. The fivefamiliesnyc was deleted, like he did with DOW, and newyorkmafiahq is a closed group, invite only. It's very disappointing to see people following him through groups despite being aware of his abusive behaviour. At this point, they are complicit.

i was in DoW and never had a problem with G tbh. she was always easy to talk to and plot with and tried to accommodate me as a mun of an odd timezone to the rest. only problem i had was that the few times my characters tried interacting with ry's, he'd try to godmod them into "submission" to his and i wasn't into that as characters like people have rivalries etc. Other than that, only one person openly complained to me about the admins, the rest seemed to be a happy family till it all went boom

From what I gathered, it seems like G had been manipulated by Ry. I'm sorry you had this experience with Ry.

I was also in DoW. I did not leave right away and I regret not leaving sooner. Please do not categorize all the players who stayed in longer as supporting the admins. As the previous person stated, a lot of us were unsure of what to do and in shock of it all. Most of the players now who left would like to be left alone. Could you please respect that and let them move on. Thank you.

After talking with a few members of the group, it was clear that the admins hide a lot from the members. Some were even scared to leave because of Ry, since he often harass the people who break ties with him. The admins also didn’t post the unfollow of those who left as soon as they learn about their behaviour in an attempt to hide any bad publicity.

For now, the only criticism I have for past members is that they were complicit to the lack of diversity. Only 13% of the characters were played by faceclaims of color and while the admins should have done way more, most members also played exclusively white characters.

i was in DOW and when i mentioned the lack of diversity among the fcs there, i was told by one of the admins that they really wanted to see more diverse fcs but "didn't want to force people to take them up if they didn't want to." i'm really glad that place is gone tbh

That is something that I’ve seen so often in groups and it often comes from admins playing mostly white and cis characters. It’s such an easy excuse to say that you can’t force people to apply with diverse characters.

omg i know exactly who admin ry is now and in black trident they guilted their ship partner bc they had gotten a bf and weren't around as much, so much so that the ship partner left due to the emotional abuse and when they told fellow members/friends, the entire group had a max exodus while his co-admin sunshine was more than happy to keep supporting him and his behaviors and joined the narrative that ry did nothing wrong and the ship partner was the toxic one

It seems like Ry has a track record of abuse and manipulating people into believing he is the victim. I've been told by people who used to be in the same circle as him that this is frequent. I'm glad there was a mass exodus in blacktridenthq and another one in descendantofwar. Any information on people who have been abusive is helpful when calling them out and I want to thank everyone who comes forward.

Again, wishing that anyone who was victim of him now is in a better place and feel safer.

Regarding sunshine, please read this. I will not involve her in any of his doings.
