problems at the old guard

i'm not even really sure how to start this one. i'm just trying to get things out of my head before my headache gets worse. there are things i want to say, but experience tells me that doing so will get my ass fired in a heartbeat unless i quit right after doing so. so i've turned to my blog, because the owner doesn't know it exists and i can vent safely.

i've made no secret to my friends that i didn't like it when tajah was released from her dominant. that i felt she deserved her chance at redemption, which wasn't given. but that is now just old news, though relevant to this post. because now there's a new girl, angel.

and angel just made a lot of enemies.

for someone who claims they have zero power, they sure are pretty mouthy when it comes to decor that nobody liked, and while everyone holds their silence on it now (when she's around anyways, we're still human and gonna gripe while agreeing with each other), she brings it up like a child waving a flag.

i'm getting a little ahead of myself, though. i need to rewind to the start of last night, trivia night at og. normally my trivia ball is used, but since it had been returned to me, i assumed a new one had been bought to replace it so i didn't put it back out. i have since learned that was not the case, and i intend to put it back where it was by the chandelier for the next round of trivia.

everything was going well, until suddenly it wasn't. since my ball was not on the sim, bryan and wanda were using google for trivia so people could play the game. one of the questions was "Sienna law forbids women of what name from prostitution?" and eternatee guessed first, with maria. she was right, but since chat was busy other people were still guessing.

cherokee guessed "angel, or angelina" quite innocently. tammy thought that angelina might have been the correct answer, so she made a joke about it while also wondering why that would be a law.

and all hell broke loose.

angel decided that tammy was making a direct comment about one of the members of the old guard named angelina, and threatened her. tammy was understandably confused and a bit irate, explaining that no, it was not a personal dig at anyone, it was just one of the guesses for the trivia question.

but angel didn't back down. bryan asked her why she went after tammy when cherokee was the one who had made the guess, and angel went off on him. bryan talked to cherokee to see whether or not he meant anything malicious or was just playing the trivia game. cherokee lost his shit and told bryan he and eternatee were not coming back.

eternatee then imed bryan saying that if cherokee wasn't coming back, she quit. she was irate thinking bryan had been making digs at him, which wasn't true but based on the way bryan had phrased a few things realized his error and fucked up. he apologized profusely over and over, but the night wasn't over. oh no. there was still more to come.

not only was angel pissed that bryan had talked to other people even though "she had apologized to tammy for making an assumption" because she was unaware that he often finds everyone's point of view on an issue so that no erroneous conclusions are made (like the one she made), she also got the owner, and her dominant involved.

and that dominant sided with her, and reamed bryan a new asshole for doing his job and trying to mediate before the explosion got any worse.

so now i am left knowing these things: out of spite, tammy and horace will likely be banned. roo and i are on thin ice because we don't agree with the decor (i have yet to mention this around angel and her man, but i have pissed him off before so i know i'm on my way out the door), and kingston is just tired of angel and her shit in general.

if eternatee doesn't come back, that makes three employees that have walked away because of the owner's actions.

i already told bryan that all he has to do is say the word, and i will quit the old guard and leave with him. my loyalty is to him, not the castle. he told me he won't be quitting over angel's behavior, but i have a feeling the future does not bode well for us.

roo, kingston, and i may be out of a job. bryan too. and what then, cooper? when the old guard has nothing left, what will you have won aside from the contempt from the employees you fired for unprofessional reasons?

angel's mouth just showed us that she's dangerous. and that she thinks somehow by giving us "...ALL of you including Tammy a position here on the sim to make everyone feel like they are needed and included" something purely symbolic will help, it won't.

we all saw your true colors angel, and it's not pretty. you are clearly a venomous woman who doesn't like the fact that people have opinions that dissent to yours. we are allowed to dislike decor. we are allowed to not like gor. we are allowed to make silly jokes that might be a bit non-pc, but we know we are not trying to be malicious and generally have fun.

the only person who has a problem with us, is you. and you will destroy old guard to get your way. i don't have to do a thing.
