We're not bringing this shit up again
it is so painful to have self reported for multi accounting (i had an older account that i abandoned and when i came back i made a new account but the paranoia and guilt ate away at me so i decided to just report myself lol) and not know when theyll actually respond to you. i wanna play with my pretty dress up dragons but theres no point! but i dont know when ill be free! so i cant play fr and im sad. its my own fault lol.
If you abandoned the account and never did anything with it nor interacted with your current one, why self-report? So long as you did literally nothing with it, they won't do anything to you UNLESS you self-report.
As I said, paranoia and guilt. Mostly paranoia, if they ever did figure out it was me bye bye account anyways
WHHHYYYYY if I post on the forums do you think people would report me and itd go faster ;; or maybe I could blatantly funnel between the two accounts aaaaa
You should definitely post on forums and pretend that you don't know you've been multiaccounting but make it clear in your post that you are. Enough people replying and reporting it will draw staff attention.
oh wow, it can take months? as someone who self reported due to similar reasons (guilt) they locked my old account/s in two weeks or so. maybe it was the contents of my email? either way, best of luck, OP
Wow, Gryphire really doesn't like a charity event for asian americans, huh?
yep. only out-done by Contaminate liking the charity familiar for the wrong reasons (they're glad it's retiring because they're a huge proponent of retired items and they hope this means more of them) and sticking their ass into every suggestion thread about it.
both of them missing the point in the most selfish way possible.

Jesus. FR really attracts some selfish and myopic players.
The rest of their posts ain't much better.
Definitely added to my block list.

The only reason it's retiring is they don't want to profit off it. And when everyone knows an item available this long is retiring, everyone will hoard it.
NGL, I did genuinely like learning about the Anemoi.
I think if we can reference Homer we can safely set “Wind = Horses” to be an understood reference by the time of the Odyssey. Now it’s likely Homer was including more modern interpretations of the gods, which might put this reference at the 800BC mark. However, Homer was continuing on an oral tradition, so it’s possibly even older. Scholars consider the Illiad to be a Greek interpretation of the Bronze Age collapse. That potentially dates it back further to 1050 or 1200 BC. And that’s just the Greeks!
In short, horses have been associated with wind for anywhere between 2800 and 3200 years. Making the original argument extra silly.
Also, I really strongly recommend everyone at some point in their life go and read at least a bit of the Illiad, and remember that Homer by all traditions was completely blind. The descriptions are stunning, and it’s a deeply cool bit of ancient literature.

the words "absolutely not" as the first part of their response saying we shouldn't have a spot for our dragons' pronouns sure was something I had to see with my own eyes
Am I missing something? They're just against the limited time nature of the familiar, not the charity itself. And the pronouns thing seems valid given all the points other people brought out. This person seems prickly and maybe a bit awkward rather than bigoted.
"Absolutely not unless it’s default was blank. I don’t want to be forced into this."
"Having ‘no pronouns’ implies something. Having anything at all in that box implies something. I don’t want anything implied. Pronouns is a uniquely human thing, often personal, with social expectations. Artwork positioning and clothes don’t carry social expectations."
no i think they're just being weird about pronouns

If you haven't done anything that'll give it away (like sending CRs to the other account), do that and it might speed up the process
Staff: we are running a fundraiser, historically an event with an end date, and have an item as a thank you for donating, a very common thing for fundraisers to do
Gryphire: this is manipulative and in bad faith and staff should never do this again and my primary concern is not that staff is donating to an asian-american charity after years of increasingly violent sinophobia in the world but that i think fundraiser rewards are bad faith and wrong

I fuckin snorted lol. Thank you, I needed the laugh
is this person one of those people who think that pronouns were invented by The Woke and didn't exist before 2015
