Spoiler

15 votes is plenty, and since people were questioning whether my next thread would be another "are you sure i should?" thread, it's time to show you all the shots that caused this whole mess.

Spoiler: photographic evidence

and the fourth one is super low quality on a phone so i'm just putting the whole thing up so you can all appreciate it fully

and the story of what happened is as follows:
So everything was fine on Saturday, until about 5:00 PM. At that point, a public thread was made in the staff section with these screenshots attached demanding an explanation and saying that "this was the last straw but I'll give you both the chance to explain yourselves."

Now, the chat that these screens are from was a private chat that involved quite a few staff members, but not Blaine. It was, to me at least, a safe space to vent about any problems that a lack of communication or an odd quirk (like calling yourself "Lord" a lot) might cause. It was a private chat, and there was a breach of trust in sending these screenshots to the person who is being discussed in them.

Before anyone asks, I did not reply to that thread. I could not compose myself enough on Saturday to do so. I was in tears from the stress and drama that the thought of a mole in our group brought. It's no secret that I'd wanted this position for a long time prior to getting it in 2014, and it's also not a secret that I have thoroughly enjoyed my time on staff and I have loved helping to serve the community that I've been a part of for so many years. I have tried my best to get along with everyone in the community, and in general I avoid being rude to people who do not deserve it.


However, this lack of communication between our new site owner and the staff, in my eyes, was the first in a long line of problems that lead to our "dishonorable discharge," as it were. Tale was originally the only one under fire, but as a friend of his as well as a teammate, I could not stand for it. I tried to have them resolve the situation in a calm discussion over discord, and was immediately told that there was an unwritten "three strikes rule" that was never disclosed to any of us, and certainly not disclosed to the member that these strikes were against.
Somehow, things had calmed down, but immediately after tensions all but disappeared these shots were sent to Blaine, essentially ensuring that we were screwed and that there was no hope no matter what we said. Hell, he even confirmed that nothing we said could've changed his mind in a private message to the both of us, and then had the gall to say that because we acknowledged the hopelessness of our own situation instead of "apologizing" for information that was sent in a private chat we were just proving him right.

I'd also like to include a quote from the end of that justification, straight from the mouth of our dear "Lord and Owner" Blaine himself.

When I heard these words, I was speechless. I don't think that I have ever been so upset at such a blatant lie before in my life, and that's saying something.

He claimed that tale and I had "bullied" him, and he used a private chat that he was not included in as justification for that claim. But as someone who has actually been bullied in their lifetime, and as someone who would not intentionally try to hurt anyone with comments like this (as proved by the fact that all this was said in a private chat, without any intention to EVER bring it up to him), his above statement, along with others that have been sent to tale and I, threats to use his power as admin against us, and justification that he "could've banned all of us when he first got the site, but didn't want to start off like that" and essentially say that he wasn't as big of a dick as he could've been, speak for themselves. Yes, there was bullying. Yes, it was between the two aforementioned parties. But as to who was bullying who, you can decide that for yourselves.



It hurts to be told that people are "sick of your ****" and that you only have yourself to blame for this kind of betrayal. It hurts to think that someone you've worked with for over two years and potentially known for longer would so easily stab you in the back for what seems like a position of power in the "new world order."

However, I have put that aside to state the facts to you from my point of view. Yes, I may be a bit biased and yes my emotions may shine through this long wall of text, but I am trying to back up my claims with as much evidence as I can (with the screenshots and the quote).

Also, when I said that I couldn't reply to the thread in the staff section on Saturday, it was true. But I did write up a reply. A strongly worded one, in fact. But I kept it to myself more as a way to "vent" about the issues than seem confrontational and upset our fickle owner even further. If this seems emotional, let's just say that the word doc is going to open the floodgates (quite literally, as I was in tears for a good 10 hours on Saturday following the betrayal). Here it is for anyone interested: https://mega.nz/#!AIERCQAC!-18ojAq9bIlo2tEv0iqDepY5P0RVTXdjE5jicuqL-OY




odds are this will be deleted and i'll be banned, but should that be the case please just remember all of this

please remember that i love you all and that anyone who's willing to play traitor for power like this is not trustworthy

please remember that KHV has been my home for going on 7 years now, and i do not want to see it fall into disarray over this drama

i only want to show you all the truth. from my pov at least.

take care all~



PS only three people could've sent the screens since EE is a UK cell provider
Enzy and CLaw have no motive (and i trust enzy with my goddamn life)
i trust that you guys can do the math there since only one other person on staff rn is in the UK for any reason at all, even, potentially, a vacation
