I am vaguely familiar with the new york trip
I'm not!
Here's my side of the story.
It was a two-week-long trip, and I was only going to be there the second week, because school. On the first week of the trip, however, I would Skype GalacticPenguin regularly. He told me that everyone in the group was mad at Tarosan for being "too weird", and that Tarosan might get kicked out of the Skype group.
That's kinda how the group was. All those friendships were basically built on the foundation of hatred for a third party. Ultimately someone was going to get kicked out, so that there could be a new drama to bring everyone closer.
By the time I arrived, the group had stopped being mad at Tarosan, but it was broken in two. We had the shut-ins, and the super shut-ins.
The "shut-ins" (me, GalacticPenguin, DarkessTheCurse, and JustKeepthatinmind) were nerds, but we weren't nerdy enough to spend 99% of the trip indoors.
The "Super Shut-ins" (RandomDCE, Hellsing, lillylivers, Tarosan, Moose, and AxelStripe) only left the hotel to go to Nintendo world (although three of them saw a movie). For the other 99% of the trip they were all clustered in Hellsing's room, complaining about YouTube drama. Basically doing what they would've been doing on Skype anyways.
The Super-Shut-ins, particularly Moose, were really angry at Darknessthecurse for spending more time outside than in the hotel with them, and "having an ego".
Tarosan is a follower by nature, and would jump off a cliff if DCE told him to. Tarosan gave DCE enough asspats to shift the target off of him and onto to Darknessthecurse.
Darknessthecurse and justkeepthatinmind however could only be on the New York trip for the first 10 days because they had work. So the only people going out and enjoying New York by the day Darkness and JKTIM had left were me and GalacticPenguin.
At one point on the trip I had a brainfart and deadbolted the door to Hellsing's room shut while I was in it (im a big autistic dumbass) but Hellsing knocked on the door and the whole situation was worked out rather quickly.
Near the last day of the trip, AxelStripe started coughing up blood. This is America, and AxelStripe is Irish, so he didn't have health insurance and couldn't go to a hospital. GalacticPenguin and I decided to go to a restaurant to buy food for AxelStripe, because... maybe that would help? We didn't know what to do, and no one else was doing anything.
When we got back to the Hellsing's room that evening (Hellsings room was the room everyone congregated in) Hellsing curtly answered the door, took the food, told us to go to our rooms and go to sleep, and slammed the door in our faces.
WHAT.
Behind the door, Galactic and I could hear the whole group complaining, but the murmurs were so indistinguishable that we couldn't understand what exactly was being said. We waited by the door for someone to come out and explain what they were mad at us for. Finally, AxelStripe shyly poked his head out, and looked at us like a deer in the headlights. RandomDCE stood behind AxelStripe, and whispered in Axel's ear,
"Don't acknowledge them, just keep walking to your room and go to bed. Don't look at them, don't talk to them". And Axel did.
Moose followed, and DCE gave the same "Don't look at them, just go to bed" speech to him.
To his credit, instead of following orders, Moose came over to us, and told us
"Listen, everyone is really mad at you", gesturing at GalacticPenguin. "And we all are too angry to discuss this rationally. Just go to bed. Meet us at Hellsing's room tomorrow at noon and we will talk about what you did."
Dafuq
Eventually DCE went to bed and of course he didn't acknowledge us when we tried to talk to him. I called him a "manchild" which I regretted then but don't now lol
I "went to bed" but I didn't sleep because I was so nervous.
Noon came along and GalacticPenguin and I went to Hellsing's room for our.... hearing, I guess? RandomDCE shoved some travelers checks in our faces and demanded that we "finally cash the travelers checks".
That's right. We had promised to cash the travelers checks a few days earlier, and never got around to it.
To this day I don't know why DCE couldn't do that himself if he was so mad.
So Galactic and I went to the bank, cashed the travelers checks, and came back to the hotel.
NOW the hearing can begin.
So Galactic and I sat down, and listened to Lillylivers, Hellsing, and DCE get really mad at GalacticPenguin for....
Get this
"Having an ego"
WHAT.
To this day I have no idea what that meant. Something about how Galactic somehow absorbed Darkness's personality with voodoo magic and was trying too hard to be Darkness and suddenly started having an ego.
I think they were really just angry at Darkness, but since they couldn't get the chance to bitch out Darkness directly, they settled for bitching at Galactic.
DCE lillylivers and Hellsing's proceeded to shout at Galactic about "having an ego", as if he had run over their dog.
They were only kinda mad at me for...being Galactic's girlfriend. Something something PDA. I said "I wasn't doing anything lillylivers and DCE weren't doing". Hellsing's rebutted by saying "well at least when DCE and lillylivers do PDA it's kinda cute!" which.... what??? What does that mean???
Galactic nodded along and said "well ok".
He didn't make a big deal out of this.
I, on the other hand, started crying because none of these complaints really made any sense, and the because the buildup towards this was deliberately orchestrated to be emotionally taxing. I felt like if we were ten regular friends, none of this would have happened.
Whoops. Guess who's the target now?
I was the evil "trip-ruiner" not because of anything I actually did on the trip, but because of how I handled this weird "hearing" they decided to put together where they yelled at me and Galactic for no reason.
To this day, they don't see how what they did was wrong and they don't feel any remorse.
A week after the trip was over, this was considered "old news". I was still mad because they never apologized, and was excommunicated from the Skype group for "constantly bitching about the trip".
Pretty soon they started just flat-out lying about stuff I did on the trip, knowing I couldn't fight back or set the record straight without being "someone who WONT FUCKING SHUT UP about the TRIP". I heard one rumor about how I locked everyone in a closet, a rumor about how I locked everyone out of the hotel itself, and even a rumor about how I locked someone in a closet and molested them. My guess is they suddenly decided to get really mad that I deadbolted the door to Hellsing's room shut, even though no one cared when the trip was over. Fucking losers lol
