≫ 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.

Closed Metagaming.

Title: Metagaming.
Character Name: Zed

It has come to my attraction OOC that the character Zed has been using the death of my character Octavia from WWB to run Don’s name through the mud. Normally, I would be fine with this but there is no ACTUAL way Zed would know how Octavia died.

Octavia’s death was moved in complete secret. Most people not even knowing she’d returned to Valley Station. Octavia’s body was also dumped with no way of identifying her.

When she entered the mall upon returning, I as a character only spoke to Miles and Don before being put in a tent and logging out. Piggs was not online - like he never was.

When Octavia was moved again, I had to get back online for it where NO ONE SAW ME AGAIN, and go with Miles and Don.

The biggest part of this is that NO ONE ICLY KNEW OCTAVIA WAS PREGNANT EXCEPT FOR THE THREE PEOPLE WHO SAW HER.

Sam, Miles and Don. - all of which I’m certain would not tell Pigg’s character.

There is quite literally no way for him to know. ESPECIALLY the fact Octavia was pregnant. Octavia’s pregnancy was why Shepard and Octavia left. They had already abandoned the storage lots.

I really do not appreciate my characters death because used to condemn another character regardless or not if it’s the truth when I know the information was not obtained naturally.

Most of Don’s kills were kept hidden from the mall quite literally until now. Zed was not around enough to know about most of them. And I’m positive no one would have told him.

Zed has IC reason to go after Don from their shared past together and his backstory and thus, this situation is not ruled Metagaming as it does not involve Octavia.
