≫ WHAT'S UP WITH GATEWAY ROLEPLAY? ≪

  • We've been radio silent for a long time now. We posted an announcement in our Discord server back in April of 2025, but never updated the forums. So what's up with Gateway Roleplay?

    After 5 long years, we've decided to place the development of Ties That Bind on an indefinite hold.

    This doesn't mean it's cancelled. We fully intend to run Ties That Bind: What Lies Beneath and Ties That Bind: City of Angels eventually. But to do so, we need to take a step back. In the meantime, we'll be working on smaller, invite-only projects.

    Thank you to everyone who has stuck with us this long! MindGate and I (Pika) have been working on this server for over a decade now. It truly is a passion project for us.

Title: Bleeding & powergaming from JoeCoolXD
Character Name: Alyssa Burke

Here's a screenshot.

JoeCoolXD, playing Corey Jackson, has never actually had a negative encounter with Alyssa Burke. In fact, they've only interacted once or twice. Despite that, Corey seems to despise Alyssa. I have secondhand accounts that JoeCoolXD has been antagonizing me to other players in voice chat over an in-character issue, and in that screenshot they are clearly just making up the fact that they see Alyssa at the bar more than the clinic. This is genuinely untrue, and because of the OOC shit talking in VC, I have to assume it's JoeCoolXD lying, not their character. Powergaming my character into positions she's not, as well as bleeding to make Corey despise Alyssa because they have some OOC problem with me.

If the player was just talking about me one-on-one in DMs or something, I might not be so bothered, but actively bitching about me to who knows how many people in voice chat is a bit much. This player is creating a hostile, toxic environment for me both IC and OOC and it very seriously neuters any desire I have to log on.

Hey I talked to JoeCoolXD and told him to take it easy in discord after I got his side. I think he understands now and he's agreed to not talk negatively oocly about a character or position ICly. Let us know if anything else pops up on this from him. Thanks!
