I have gone about sending a message to all of the village leaders about a movement that I, alongside a majority of Konohagakure, are starting in an attempt to make the site a better place.
This is the message:
Hello, my name is Rusaku and I would like to discuss something the whole community is aware of. There is a player on this site who, in my humble opinion, is causing a grotesque amount of toxicity in the realm of SL and I would like to discuss a way to put it to an end to it.
Bocchiere: a name that has stuck out in our minds for the duration of the time we have devoted to this site that unfortunately brings a negative connotation.
Words like toxic, nuisance, headache, and the occasional jerk have been attributed to his image. I think a majority of players agree that even before his time as the Kyuubi's Jinchuriki, he has plagued this domain with arrogance and self-appointed entitlement, which has gotten him Perma-banned by the site owner, Neji, once before.
Now, he has returned from something I like to call, “The Calm”. To all of the Final Fantasy X fans out there, we will compare Bocchiere to Sin (not to be confused with Satan himself), and SL as Spira. He continuously comes, does as he pleases without regard to anyone but himself and now has let the Kyuubi go straight to his head. Now, he thinks he is above judgment and the rules that apply to the rest of us. This simply cannot be.
Today, we begin the campaign to end the misery and the plagued reign of Bocchiere; removing him from his self-appointed throne and to take this place back to somewhere that logic dictates decisions. A place where complaining about something in the forums won't result in a favorable outcome for just one person/party. A place where we can all Rp in peace without the playground bully taking our toys and kicking sand in our faces. Today is the day, the day to be rid of Bocchiere once and for all.
As you all may know, Bocc has been gaining quite the reputation for making Rp unenjoyable for a large portion of the players on this site. Without any second thought he will kill off your character in a questionable way. The moment you attempt to give a counter argument, you are met with insults to your intelligence and constant undermining, sarcastic comments. To add insult to injury, he will give you the “I RP what I want, so I am going to RP you dead” excuse. Now as I am sure you are aware, this utterly ruins RP for a massive amount of people. Because of the two worlds created from that one decision, everyone must choose what world they want to RP in. That decision in and of itself conflicts with interactions regarding all parties involved.
Not only does he ruin RP, he is, as previously mentioned “a schoolyard bully kicking sand in our faces” the moment he realizes you have something he wants. While there is nothing wrong with being a “go getter”, Bocc does it in a matter where it is unpleasant and volatile for all parties involved. This is proven time and time again when he gets into an altercation with someone with an opposing opinion. A prime example can be the Kirigakure incident, with its 6 month long arguments that lead to nothing but a voided battle and a lot of salt.
Here is a quote from a player preferring to remain anonymous, who is particularly fed up with his behavior:
“Bocchiere's innate tendency to take RP way too seriously leads to more out of character fights than necessary. I was in a fight with him over a claimed technique for goodness sake, and it was all because I neglected to message him and ask him to put my name on there; that was the only reason he wouldn't allow me to claim it as well despite my having it before him. So, not only does he tend to ruin [a] perfectly good zone or roleplay by becoming unbelievably intolerable, he also ruins the off-site wiki. [H]is hubris attitude is what gets him in the most attitude.”
I, backed by the entire village of Konohagakure and a plethora of other players, believe that in order to end the injustice that is plaguing this site, we need to band together and void Bocc from every aspect of RP. A simple countermeasure that would require little to no effort on our parts. With enough following, his Bijuu would be stripped from him and he would be cast out. This would be incredibly beneficial to the entire site, as we would finally be able to get into a zone fight without fear of those crimson letters appearing in our message box or in the zone with hateful messages and actions.
Other sites do not allow such actions to go without reprimand, why should we?
Now, some may think this is a start of a hate campaign, and it is not. I am simply informing others of the situation I, and others, feel needs to be addressed and the way we feel it can be solved.
If you agree with this, then in my eyes you are taking a step in the right direction to making this site a better place. If you do not agree with me, I will not judge you or hate you all of a sudden. We are each allowed our own opinions even if others disagree with it.
