My thoughts are pretty much what Alothia said. The 'stealing our ideas' thing is equally ridiculous, because I seriously doubt many people even know what their 'stories' are.
They do not seem to be able to distinguish between ic and ooc, and Arturia herself stated that they do not need any form of ooc pearl or interaction, because all of their members are always in character. The worst I could see being stated as a 'gang up' was when we tried to explain to them that we're not always in character, nor is Endricane's pearl. Alothia was trying to explain the purpose of the Intermission pearl, essentially explaining how it's an 'rp hookup' ls, that's completely ooc.
Saber: "I can rp by myself... I don't need someone else to suck a story off of."
Alothia: "No, not to suck a story off of. Like Alothia wanders around and will run into people and talk to them."
S: "That is fine. That is Alothia's choice."
A: "If there isn't anyone that she sees in the city, sometimes I'll use it to find out where people are. So she can "wander" to where they are to talk to them."
S: "But would Alothia, if Alothia were real, use the ls in that way?"
A: "No. Because it's not a LS she'd have. Because it's not an IC shell."
S: "Of course. So heavy rpers have no use for it because they do not go out of character."
Diyne: "It's not healthy to stay ic 100%. But that's just me."
Saber: "I am an actress irl. I can handle it lol."
If that's a slight, I don't even know. And then Endricane just tried to negotiate with the person, in a calm manner. Which, they took as some kind of attack.
They did not seem to care, nor simply understand the basic idea and difference between ic and ooc. Nor have a desire to do so. The were just absolutely serious, and looking for a reason to create conflict. A game of pretend should be a game of pretend, but this is being taken far, far too seriously, and does not keep in mind the difference between other players, and their 'pretend' characters. (Because that's really all we're doing, in the end. And that's supposed to be FUN.)
I kinda feel like they're super trolling, considering half of their members (including their 'empress') are named after anime characters. (Arturia Saber being a character from Fate/Stay Night, an H Game and later anime.) Their behaviour is almost cult-like in its presentation. I'm going to just step back, and walk away, shake my head, and not give these people anymore thought, personally. I've dealt with similar behaviour from "cults" in other games, and there will likely be no reasoning with them, nor will they come to an understanding. Especially if they're just super trolls. I don't even understand why they originally took Endricane's invitation as a slight.
TLDR: It's like a trainwreck full of cult weeaboos, and I think I threw up a little in my mouth. Disturbingly overdone and ridiculous.
