==> Avispa: Make an announcement

[apiarycryptonaut]

--apiaryCryptonaut [AC] started memo stop it stop it stop it stop it--

You open the memo with determination. There are a lot of things wrong and you have a few you want to address. It has to be you.

Um, everyone, your 4ttention!
Ple4se, I think, yes?
Just um, re4d this!
You need to re4d... this, it's import4nt, yes!

Um so, Zur4he, yes!
You 4ll need to... know something, you do!
Remember um, qu4dr4nts, yes?
They're very very very... very import4nt to h4ve!
4nd you don't w4nt... to lose them, no.

Zur4he lost her qu4dr4nts.
More th4n one, too.

Think 4bout how she... feels bec4use of th4t!
She doesn't need to... be more 4lone, no!
Th4t's not how we... win this g4me, no!
4ll of you, stop!

You pause, staring at the memo before you send it. That's what you wanted to say! A certain other memo with talk of losing a quadrant had made you aware of just how important this was. And now everyone would know.

oh my god
someone in this session
and by someone i mean anyone but me
needs to make schoolfeeding you their full time job
cause this shit is bananas
these are super simple concepts and youre acting like theyre complex puzzles that need solVing
rather than flat statements of fact you should just fucking parse into your pan

lets try this again
FROM THE TOP
cause god fucking dammit i refuse to belieVe you cannot be taught
first of all
what facts about someone else should or should not be priVate
is determined by THEM
not by YOU
if it was zurahe saying 'i approVe these facts for public consumption' then i would haVe no issue with that
cause its her business
and how much of it she does or doesnt want public is also her business
but YOU
a third party
do not get to decide FOR HER
what other people should be told ABOUT HER
in fact
you dont get to decide that for ANYONE
except yourself
you know what is actually your business
and can be shared in whateVer manner you deem appropriate?
YOUR OWN BUSINESS
as in things directly related to and affecting you
do whateVer you like with that shit
but when it comes to other people and their business
you need THEIR PERMISSION to share things about them with other people

and do you know whats gonna happen if you dont seem to care about peoples priVacy aVispa
if you just share eVerything you know about eVeryone WITH eVeryone regardless of whether or not people want you to
people are just gonna cut you out of the loop
no ones gonna tell you shit cause they wont be able to trust you with it
so for your own fucking sake
LEARN DISCRETION
cause the other option inVolves no one trusting you with anything discrete

also
re hatepails
you know thats a completely dumb argument youre making there right
like
you could say 'zurahe and i are kismeses now'
which would preclude any unwelcome quadrant adVances in that respect without oVersharing shit about whether and how youVe filled any pails whatsoeVer
i mean people would figure youre filling hatepails as a direct result of the quadrant
but thats not the same as announcing it
that shit should stay in the respite block
dear sweet galloping god how the fuck do you not haVe ANY nuances of social interaction down
i haVe literally neVer met or talked to another troll face to face in my LIFE and iVe got a better handle on this shit

You stare at Lyn's reply, and stare more, and probably stare at it for four increments of four minutes each before you respond. You think you've figured out exactly what Lyn is suggesting, and it's really helpful!

So I just h4ve... to m4ke everything into... my business, I think!
Then it's ok4y for... me to sh4re, y4y!
Th4t's 4n e4sy solution!
Th4nk you, Lyn, y4y!
Th4t's very very very... very helpful, it is!

I'll be in the... loop where everyone c4n... trust me, y4y, yes!

You're so certain that he's being helpful that you're sure to remember his great suggestion. This is wonderful!

i
what
NO
you cant make other peoples business your business
that isnt how it WORKS
there is no process by which you can eVer be giVen carte fucking blanche to share whateVer the fuck you want to about eVeryone else
THAT IS NOT A THING THAT CAN HAPPEN
like for instance
after this conVersation i am pretty much neVer eVer telling you anything priVate about myself
eVer
so this harebrained scheme is already off the rails

also
the key factor
in eVeryone trusting you
is that you DONT spew their personal shit eVerywhere like a broken sewage pipe
so what the hell would your plan eVen inVolVe
like
would you learn eVeryones secrets and then expose them to the entire fucking session
cause honestly
that goes beyond innocent ignorance
thats practically superVillain treachery territory
like
thats meaner than anything id do at my most pissed
and youVe seen how mean i get when im pissed
do you want to actually do something WORSE than that
i dont think you do
so nip this idea RIGHT in the goddamn bud cause its fucking terrible in eVery respect

besides
eVen if you didnt giVe a shit about being a supreme asshole
and thought that somehow sharing all these secrets with eVeryone was SO CRITICAL that youd take that moral bullet for the team
great
you spill eVeryones secrets for them
now what
now no one trusts you again
and they neVer will
and eVen if youd learned eVeryones secrets up to that point
theyre gonna haVe more critical information down the line
which theyll neVer share with you again
so the 'solution' doesnt eVen SOLVE anything
its just an elaborate dick moVe with no real payoff for anyone

the ACTUAL solution here aVispa
is to just
fucking
ask people
whats okay for you to make public knowledge about them
its so fucking simple
i am literally handing it to you
HOW ARE YOU NOT GETTING IT

You really should have walked away a few replies ago, back when you'd initially resolved to. But - ironically, given that you yourself aspire to be a huge internet troll - you are incredibly juicy trollbait, and you can never walk away from an argument.

You aren't sure how the conversation got to this point, but you're probably going to have some sort of pan hemorrhage any minute.

[apiarycryptonaut]

This time, you have a reply particularly quickly! Unfortunately, almost everything that Lyn said went in one of your ears and out the other. Except for one thing.

Oh, so, um, 4sking!
Bec4use this is still... this convers4tion, I think!
Wh4t c4n I m4ke... public knowledge 4bout you?
I'm 4sking, yes, Lyn!

[artful_transgressor]

NOTHING
EVER
FULL STOP

--AT ceased responding to memo.--

You nope right the fuck out of there, in an entirely dignified manner.
