Synopsis: Earlier in the week I decided to start working on flower bouquets, hopefully in time for Valentine’s Day. Announced it in Coder and got a coder to help collaborate with in DMs and reached out in Spriter for help too. Jan and Walp were interested but Walp specifically stated they’d like to do modular vases sometime, so Jan decided to abstain[Image: IMG_9980.png] (image 1). Totally fine and not anything I cared about on my end, but vases and bouquets were different so I continued working in bouquets. 

On 2/8, with most of the bouquet code done, we pinged the spriters to see if they’d like to contribute. I asked Jan if she would like to finish her sprite draft and she said no thank you, so I decided I’d sprite it to save time, or ask for help. At that point only sprites we’re really needed anyway (image 2). [Image: IMG_9981.png]

At around 8:43pm in the RP Chat, I showed off the draft PR that my friend had made for bouquets, as I was excited about our progress in getting it done so fast, and I admit I was excited about Valentine day bouquets. A mistake I made was not in asking Walp for help with the sprites or pinging them prior to showing the draft PR in the chat, as I was excited- it had just gotten most of the code done, and I wanted to talk about flowers with my friends. Jan noticed the MedAss post of the bouquets and then began to, in my eyes, chew me out in the chat room in a very embarassing and upsetting experience. She asked if it was necessary for me to broadcast my PR and undercut Walp, and that she was frustrated and disappointed, in summary. This was in front of an entire public discord, after I had asked to move it to DMs.

As it turns out, my friend had been talking about it in Coder and Jan had spoke to him there earlier, suggesting he ask Walp for their thoughts. I didn’t know this at the time, and Jan assumed she had spoke to me about it then and not my friend.

This was extremely unprofessional and upsetting. When arguments happen in the chat, it’s asked they be moved to DMs, or an admin steps in to moderate it. Instead, mentors stepped in to try and moderate it instead, with Jan denying she was chewing me out despite stating how frustrated and upset she was with me. 

Extra information: Jan later apologized that same day, only a few hours later, but again, I wish it had been done in a more private setting- if not in DMs then in an admin room or something instead. I would like to thank the mentors that stepped in to try and moderate things. 

I’m not some horrific monster or wannabe funny man; I just wanted to make some flowers for Valentine’s Day.
