Oh hey, this mess again! Hello there. Just to make this perfectly clear: this and ONLY this (unless another community owner starts blaming the Best Bois for something) is to remain on neutral grounds — no excuses.
Anyway, even though I ‘banned’ myself from Ashi and his server, I still can’t help but feel to hear him out. That is, until I see another instance (in the Hyena Discord server) of “Ashi left VRChat due to Kibble saying mean things to him”… which I know is a complete lie. “Ashi is still lying, why even bother talking to him (when he’ll just lie to you again)?” I have a reason for this.. there’s a bit of good in every human being out there, even terrorists, and people with a devil ritual symbol on their forehead.
No one was born evil. That’s what I’m trying to say. And so there has to be some good in Ashi as well. It’s all a matter of ‘prying it open’… but is it really worth the effort?
Today, during the meeting, it was announced that we are to no longer have any aggression to any community (even the ‘endangered species’ of the Ugandan Knuckles). Aka, no more raids, and no more Knuckles dropkick animation.
Simply put: no more drama shall be mentioned within the community. As much as I want to agree with this, my gut feeling knows this rule will not be enforced by all. But with that said, they’ll be at the receiving end of Bonnie’s banhammer.
Not to mention, it also feels a bit too strict. What about accidental skirmishes? The internet isn’t exactly puppies and candy, you know.
And with those words said by the mods, made me wonder if should try to convince Ashi to agree on neutral terms (aka.. no more bullshit “Kibble’s mean to me, I’m leaving!!”), and if I could freely go to his server again. Yet how in the fuck would I be able to phrase it (where it won’t come back to harshly bite me in the ass)?! I needed another way to get to Ashi.

Seeing Jero (one of Ashi’s inner friends) during the ‘let’s see what Kibble has done for the world this week’ party, I told Creepery that I have to talk to the guy. Yet even that, I wonder if it was worth it. What if it’ll cause more unnecessary drama (and myself getting banned -again-)? But it just kept eating at my mind, trying to come up with an answer.
Eventually, I came up with one. I would do it.. on Sunday (as tomorrow’s ‘ToL(Thunder over Louisville) Day’ in real life). I don’t want any possible drama to affect me during tomorrow (I’m not even going to use Discord). My eyes will be glued on my TV, watching the local broadcast.
But later that day, I just couldn’t take it anymore. Seeing Jero in his world, I went there. At first I wanted to play it cool, then eventually get him alone in order to discuss this. It went as planned, until the discussion came to me in the form of a small group of ….. refugees, from Ashi’s server? What!?
Hearing the stories of these refugees – former Hall Monitors and members of Ashi’s Discord server – are being blocked/banned (sometimes for no reason). Ashi turning against his own friends, was the theme here. I could only feel sorry for them, and told them what happened to me. Jero worried for him, fearing he might hurt himself (and I do as well).
Then I explained how I wanted to speak to Ashi, but only saw this thing about Kibble. Some of them are all “the Best Bois caused this!” Thankfully Jero (like myself) convinced them that the community is not at fault here. He also added that “a few of the admins started this”, which backs Covita’s claim 110%.
I then urged them to remain in a neutral stance at this. I’m not sure if they got the message, but I think they already know it would be stupid to rage war against the Best Bois. Plus, they saw how kind and understanding I was (and how I speak for the Best Boi community).

Three other things to discuss. BestBoi (now known as ‘BestDook’), overheard me telling Jero that I feel I was framed by Ashi (when I got banned for a week), and greatly apologized to me.. saying HE is the one who framed me. Yet it doesn’t make sense. Ashi told him these things (that were lies).. which would still prove he framed me.
But what the fuck ever. I don’t give a crap anymore. I just want to move on from that (but my brain keeps reminding me “this happened!!”).
—
Second thing of discussing, I told them how Ashi DMd me, and saying what I posted in here. Jero says “Ashi is always like this”.. proving even more, it’s nothing but fucking lies (glad I didn’t believe them). And what did I say would happen to his community.. that it would die out? It seems I was right. Well, ‘dying’, with the survivors being Ashi’s ‘elite’ (such as Lycan).

Final discussion.. as for joining Ashi’s server, one of them told me “as long as you got him blocked, feel free to join anytime you want. He can’t touch you.”, yet also warned me to “not be surprised if you get vote-kicked for no reason” by his true followers.
And so, that’s that. This was literally burning a hole through my cerebral cortex, until I finally got this written down and posted.
ARE YOU HAPPY NOW, BRAIN?! Geezus!
UPDATE: Ashi has been promoted to ‘Leader of the Pack’ (Admin) in Telephone’s fan club. This is very troubling to the future of this Discord server, but I will continue to stay (and monitor).
