Previously rejected for this reason:
October 28, 2024, the Untold Dawn staff denied the invitation code for a player after a proven track record of uninvited improper sexual content in other communities. Untold Dawn reached out to the administrator of another community, who banned them, and explained that they were unable to stop with this kind of behavior despite being warned and temporarily kicked. This information was also confirmed by one other community member.
This time, he came here to reapply once more despite the short timeframe and proceeded to make reference to how they have a pile of empty tissues after ERP, pretty much making the same thing that he accused of doing before in other communities. At first I took him seriously, but then noticed that he was potentially trolling and ended banning him.
The player’s vibe in general is pretty alarming to say the least.

Heyyy it's me again, requesting to play.
Sooo, I've gone a full 2 months without being smutty aaaaanywhere, not even on Balmung, and I'll continue to keep a squeaky-clean profile if accepted.
Thanks for helping me go g-rated!

Hello, @ferretzucchini. Have you played any roleplay required environments?
ferretzucchini — Today at 1:40 AM
Yeah, Armageddon, Harshlands, pretty much everywhere at some point.
Rune — Today at 1:44 AM
I mean recently, in the 2 months.
Do you have anyone that can speak as to your transformation?
ferretzucchini — Today at 1:47 AM
No, I quit everything I was doing because I realized how much of a weird guy I had become, so I went cold turkey and touched grass instead. Your initial rejection was what really turned me around, so I figured it'd be nice to repay that favor by applying to show my improvement.
Rune — Today at 1:48 AM
I understand and I'm very happy to hear that it helped, but in this case I really need something other than your word to be able to trust you that you would be safe for the community after all the warnings we've received on the matter.
ferretzucchini — Today at 1:49 AM
I could go 4 months if that'd help?
Rune — Today at 1:51 AM
Heh you know what i mean
I hope.
ferretzucchini — Today at 1:53 AM
Go to a different game first, you mean? Hmm, well are there any other new games in the past 2 years? I've been pretty much everywhere already, so I'd have to find something else. There's a chance I'd get hooked somewhere else, so I figured I'd give you first dibs since you started me on this path.
Rune — Today at 1:54 AM
I prioritize the safety of my community over numbers, we're working really hard on the community and on keeping it safe.
ferretzucchini — Today at 1:54 AM
Yeah, that's a reason I like your style.
Rune — Today at 1:56 AM
Thank you, do you have any suggestions on a path going forward in our case? I wish it wasn't that way, but I don't really see another way.
ferretzucchini — Today at 1:57 AM
Do you wanna do an RP with me to get a feel for me? Otherwise I'm down with playing at another game of your recommendation to earn trust.
I saw that you were in need of hydroponic specialists, and I know nothing about that, so I'd insert zero real-world expertise into it, which I noticed was something that was a problem recently.
Rune — Today at 2:00 AM
I can imagine
I would focus on playing other games and building a good track record and reputation, and coming back with credible recommendations if you still feel up to it after playing those games. In this case, you've a track record of uninvited improper sexual content, so it's a little bit tough on my end to just take you on your word for it. And while I think it's been trollish (I frankly can't tell if this conversation is trollish or not since it is a little bit goofy), I think focusing on reapplying is just going to be frustrating.
ferretzucchini — Today at 2:03 AM
I can assure you I'm being entirely sincere. I even read through all the recent announcements before re-applying, in order to get acquainted with what's new and what's of particular interest. That's why I spoke up about the need for hydroponics specialists, and the problems with players metagaming real-world experience into their RP.
Rune — Today at 2:04 AM
Thank you for your interest in the project
ferretzucchini — Today at 2:04 AM
You got me to cancel my FF14 subscription, even.
Alright, where would you recommend I play in the meantime?
Rune — Today at 2:05 AM
Triggering content?
ferretzucchini — Today at 2:05 AM
Sorry for that. I didn't know it was triggering.
I'm not kidding when I say I'm taking your advice, I'll play at whatever other game you recommend.
Rune — Today at 2:06 AM
No I was asking what is the reason you mention cancelling your FF14 subscription and why it's relevant here
ferretzucchini — Today at 2:07 AM
Because all I was doing on FF14 was ERP, and I realized that life can't be counted by the number of empty tissue boxes piling up by the trash can.
It wasn't who I wanted to be, and you were the catalyst who set that in motion 2 months ago.
Rune — Today at 2:08 AM
Maybe you could try picking up a sport, it's a good stress relief and I believe I've heard it helps with addictions.
I do tennis personally
ferretzucchini — Today at 2:09 AM
I've taken up jogging, actually!
Not really a sport, I guess.
But it is outdoor activity!
Rune — Today at 2:09 AM
It's a sport, it's technically running
Very good for health!
ferretzucchini — Today at 2:09 AM
I guess so! I do feeeeel better.
I also have an itch to do collaborative writing again.
So lay it on me, your best game recommendation. I'll do it.
Rune — Today at 2:13 AM
I don't really think you should focus on playing games just to get your application here approved, because if I have to be honest with you it's going to be difficult. It would be irresponsible of me in general to accept you into this community without ample evidence that you've changed.
I have no clue what other games are around. I'm pretty disinspired in Sindome in general after my experience with it.
ferretzucchini — Today at 2:16 AM
I absolutely wouldn't be going back to Sindome, heh. It was futile just to try to do a radio show there.
So the goal is to establish that trust, with the ample evidence that I've changed, to be accepted into your game. The best way would be to play another game and build a reputation there, right? Or is there a better way?
Rune — Today at 2:17 AM
Again, I don't think it's a good idea to focus on being accepted into my game because it's very likely we won't be accepting you for the foreseeable future with and your historic relationship with these games as of at least 30 days ago.
ferretzucchini — Today at 2:18 AM
What happened 30 days ago?
Rune — Today at 2:18 AM
That's when you were rejected
ferretzucchini — Today at 2:19 AM
I thought I applied over 2 months ago.
Rune — Today at 2:19 AM
We've been permanently open for like a month and a week
Actually no you're right
we're inching on two months
ferretzucchini — Today at 2:19 AM
Ah! I applied before your opening.
Rune — Today at 2:19 AM
Ah I see
regardless, my statement stands man
ferretzucchini — Today at 2:20 AM
Yeah, I'm going to build up that reputation for you!
Rune — Today at 2:20 AM
Again, I don't think you should do that
ferretzucchini — Today at 2:20 AM
But you laid out the path to being accepted?
Get the track record, prove my trust, then reapply and play, right?
Rune — Today at 2:22 AM
I've been talking to you for 40 minutes because I don't like to just say 'Nope', but I ask you that you're respectful of my time. I don't think you should go to other communities just with the goal to prove me anything because I just don't trust you to be a safe member of these games for the foreseeable future. If you do a verifiable 360, maybe, yeah, but I wouldn't focus on it.
ferretzucchini — Today at 2:23 AM
I'm willing to do it, though!
Nobody's unredeemable, right?
Rune — Today at 2:24 AM
It's not my job to be the jury of that
It's my job to define who I trust to be safe and not
ferretzucchini — Today at 2:25 AM
I've been talking to you for 40 minutes, that shows my commitment as well. I won't let you down.
Rune — Today at 2:26 AM
I think it shows your commitment to having fun at my expense
ferretzucchini — Today at 2:26 AM
I suppose you see it that way because we haven't established trust.
Rune — Today at 2:26 AM
But it's fine, I had a vacant spot this night
ferretzucchini — Today at 2:26 AM
Recommend a game to me. I promise I won't let you down.
Any game. I'm committed to this, man.
Rune — Today at 2:27 AM
I don't know that there are any new games as you say. It's way too tough to create a new game with the community that this genre packs.
ferretzucchini — Today at 2:28 AM
Alright, then one in the past that would serve the same goal.
Rune — Today at 2:28 AM
are you a time traveler
ferretzucchini — Today at 2:29 AM
No, I mean, what's your favorite other game in this genre? I'll play that.
Rune — Today at 2:30 AM
I don't have any. I used to play Armageddon Seasons but it shut down. Before that, Harshlands and Sindome.
ferretzucchini — Today at 2:30 AM
The RP in Harshlands is so sparse. I'd be willing to do it, though.
Rune — Today at 2:31 AM
It's very unlikely that I will approve your applications, ferret.
It would be an epic tale of redemption of the likes which I've never seen in 10 years of mudding
ferretzucchini — Today at 2:32 AM
Let's focus on what can change that from very unlikely to slightly unlikely.
Rune — Today at 2:32 AM
I think I expressed myself incorrectly
ferretzucchini — Today at 2:32 AM
You deserve an epic tale of redemption.
Rune — Today at 2:32 AM
it's significantly unlikely
ferretzucchini — Today at 2:33 AM
Wherever the needle is at, let's focus on ways to push it towards the green.
Harshlands. 2 months.
Sounds good?
Rune — Today at 2:34 AM
No, Harshlands is a game that almost runs itself
lol
How would that prove to me that you're not going to come here and do stuff that makes my players uncomfortable?
Even in this conversation you've had colorful phrasing which is reminiscent of what got you banned from r/MUD
ferretzucchini — Today at 2:39 AM
On average, it takes 6 weeks for someone to show their true colors. That's a long time to trust someone and I don't want you to have to add any additional work by monitoring me. So, I propose putting me in a position that's the least likely to do harm.
It's possible for doctors to do their entire job by only being in 2 or 3 rooms? Perfect. Contain me to just that for over 6 weeks. Make it 8 weeks, and only give the slightest bit of extra allowance after that. If I have my character step out of line even once, insta-ban.
Rune — Today at 2:39 AM
-.-
ferretzucchini — Today at 2:40 AM
Zero ERP, zero suggestive phrasing, nothing. For the whole time, and beyond.
Rune — Today at 2:40 AM
You've described the residue of your FF14 ERP in the last 40 minutes
ferretzucchini — Today at 2:41 AM
That was to show how I changed and I wrote it that way purposefully to show you what I'm abandoning.
Rune — Today at 2:41 AM
Okay my friend, time for me to sleep. You can send me an email to rune@untold-dawn.com. I suspect you're here to troll, I did find it moderately funny XD But I don't trust you around this community.
ferretzucchini — Today at 2:41 AM
Alright, have a good night!
