The Coalies Are Back In Town

[coalcube]

Friday night they'll be dressed to kill
Down at Coaltide Bar'n'Grill
The receipts will flow and wank will spill
And if the coalies wanna fight, you better let 'em
That jukebox in the corner blastin' out my favorite song
The nights are getting longer, it won't be long
Won't be long 'til Yuletide comes
Now that the coalies are here again

I don't remember half of those people doing any of those things.

I mean, okay? I'll choose violence I guess. I did a search of my inbox since I've been a tracking coalie since 2012 and here are all the anonfails I've got.

Anyone else I listed are people I have seen mention coal on IRC/discord over the years in more than a "oh just avoid that place" acknowledgment of existing, so I'm assuming they've at least been linked here. Since I am not about to go back through IRC/Discord logs, you can wipe the evil bad bad coaldust from their name, sorry?

karanguni - 12/28/20

[(Anonymous)]

Did Karanguni ever "anonfail"? I thought they always posted intentionally under their name.

Also I'm a relatively new coalie, but I've heard about Morbane anonfailing and they're not on the list. Does anyone remember what happened here?

[(Anonymous)]

Karanguni falls into "outright outing themselves over the years".

Here are morbane's anonfails:

12/31/2012

anon: I keep being tempted to respond to my recipient's abandoned placeholder comment with a passive-aggressive "I hope you had a lovely holiday!" Someone talk me out of it.

Morbane: Don't bother. Suggest you reply after reveals to their original comment in a false-cheerful tone that makes you sound like you never expected anything else. Assume that they are writhing in embarrassment.

08/21/2014

anon: Okay, based on the four comments so far, I'd say the evidence post needs a basic form that goes something like,

Fandom:
Reason you are concerned it might not be considered eligible:
Reason it is actually eligible.

Because so far, these comments are bogged down in info completely irrelevant to the point of the exercise, which is, make an argument for your fandom for Yuletide. Whether Cardinal Richelieu was interesting or boring makes no difference whatsoever with regard to his eligibility for Yuletide.

I pity the mods.

morbane: From your mouth to the mods' ear, apparently. Post has been edited.


(N.B. LOL No shit, Morbane.)

11/30/2014 (not a good year for her)

anon: I'm thinking I might prefer to just be free of the burden, yeah. Although I will be bummed if I don't get a fic, so I'll probably wait till closer to the no-penalty deadline to default to increase my chances. Plus it'll give me a bit more time to poke at this assignment. Maybe giving myself permission to default will take some pressure off allowing inspiration to flow more freely! /lolol pipe dreams

morbane: Maybe giving myself permission to default will take some pressure off allowing inspiration to flow more freely!

It's been known to happen....

01/01/2016

anon: da

AYRT might be interested in this pairing in canon, since the killing thing is canonical, and the fic doesn't seem to be badly written, so they could probably read it and enjoy it if they can dissociate it from the wank.

(Shay, though, is a fucking asshole, and I hope she gets many hits but no comments, kudos, or treats whatsoever. A mod reprimand would also be nice if you're still here, Morbane.)

morbane: I can't help thinking that the same email that would deeply hurt escritoireazul wouldn't register for more than 5 seconds with Shayheyred.

(N.B. Yikes, Morbane. Anyway her anon fails are why a lot of people don't have sympathy for Yulemods or side-eye how they defend bad faith actors yet do nothing for participants, new coal.)

I feel like noteachiever *probably* goes here, since what other coalie would I be talking about Margery Kempe about? There are...six of us, maybe! Six!

[(Anonymous)]

Wow, I could have sworn I'd anonfailed here at some point (not a maintainer, just a coalie), but I didn't make it into any of these lists! Good job me.

[(Anonymous)]

Lol same.

[(Anonymous)]

thanks for reminding of my shame, coalie

[(Anonymous)]

I definitely anonfailed here once (and am on the list for it) but also there was that year when people were making coal/dentist references in their letters, so we could make a list of coalies to treat, and we compiled a list at that time. So many names could be gathered from that as well.

[(Anonymous)]

WOW you really did choose violence today. i'm on that list. i wasn't expecting to get called out today but holy fucking shit anon

[(Anonymous)]

Whew, one of those people is me but it's under my sock and not my main fandom name, so yay.

[(Anonymous)]

deets

[(Anonymous)]

It's very rare anyone anonfails on something bad. Morbane has anonfailed pretending to be a NNF being like "oh it looks like the mod updated the post! Yay for more clarity". Some people anonfail on like "god I would hate a gift like that" which isn't great but isn't a crime. The worst coal anonfail was the person who was suicidebaiting themself and then claimed to be hacked.

[(Anonymous)]

yikes @ that last one, who was it?

[(Anonymous)]

Replied above with all her anonfails I have easily searchable email reciepts of.

[(Anonymous)]

Their name was something to do with Greek mythology /probably unhelpful. I always wondered if they did that on purpose or not. They were not in a good place.

[(Anonymous)]

That just looks like you decided to pick a list of the tagmods at random for maximum work. Not a bad tactic!

[(Anonymous)]

I don't know, I felt weirdly singled out being on this list. Like, how could they possibly know that I go here? I've never anonfailed, I don't discuss coal in namespsace...

Then I remembered I participated in the coal friending meme one year. That'll do it!

[(Anonymous)]

But how dare you socialize or try to form friendships, you must be named and shamed!!!

(Is this your new "friendships are cliques" tactic, Aurae? Not coalie I'm replying to but coalie posting lists)

[(Anonymous)]

How is it shaming?

[(Anonymous)]

CYRT I didn't perceive this as shaming. We're all coalies, after all. And it's not like I actively pretend I don't go here, I'm just not very active in namespace and it doesn't come up.

[(Anonymous)]

Aurae, LOL

[(Anonymous)]

Referencing wank doesn't mean they're here though, I'm 100% sure the ones who *are* here share the good stuff in modchat.
