I caught you red handed in your false denial that you are Selena from the old forum. You conveniently missed the post, so here it is. In a special thread for you.
What do you have to say about it?

by HelenaSee? My brain is muddled.
Though in the second example you've provided, my husband actually was my fiance at that point in time. We got married after that incident occurred.
You fell right into my carefully laid trap Helena :D The second example I provided

My father also reiterated to me the dangers of underestimating one's opponents, and so it never occurred to me that one could OVERestimate one's opponents, too. But it turns out that I did. In approaching the head of another department to see if I could score a job for my fiance, she was very receptive to the idea but suggested that I plant the idea in our GM's head. Because apparently, I'm the GM's favourite. That came as a huge shock to me. I had absolutely no idea. Our GM doesn't strike me as a mother figure, and so I immediately rejected the idea of appealing to her on an intimate basis. Some discrete questioning, however, revealed that this favourtism has been monstrously obvious to everyone but me for months now. It strikes me as ironic - all my life, I've been fascinated by power dynamics.
was part of a post WRITTEN BY YOU AS SELENA on the old forum. You have never talked about it on this forum, as Helena. Some posters had email subscription on the old forum, and I asked one of them for access to their account. Here's your entire post from your days as Selena:
"When I was fourteen-years-old, my father advised me that the only way I'd ever achieve success (by which he meant dominance) in a network of females would be to appeal to the mother figure of the group. He said this shizzle based on the fact that I was starting to develop the physical characteristics typical of the women in his family line: characteristics that identify women as potential threats to the insecure (men and women). I listened to him, because he was correct more often than he was incorrect, and thus far this technique has always been beneficial to me.
So, naturally, when I was began working in an office with a disproportionate number of female employees, I immediately attached myself to the mother figure. I've relied upon this technique for eleven years now; it's easy when you've got wide green eyes, waist-length brunette hair and your 35-25-35 figure is both concealed and exacerbated by the wearing of feminine dresses that cling to the chest and the waist and float down to the knees. I realize that in five years or so, I'll be fucked if I don't come up with another strategy, but this is all I've got right now and I'm going to make the most of it.
My father also reiterated to me the dangers of underestimating one's opponents, and so it never occurred to me that one could OVERestimate one's opponents, too. But it turns out that I did. In approaching the head of another department to see if I could score a job for my fiance, she was very receptive to the idea but suggested that I plant the idea in our GM's head. Because apparently, I'm the GM's favourite. That came as a huge shock to me. I had absolutely no idea. Our GM doesn't strike me as a mother figure, and so I immediately rejected the idea of appealing to her on an intimate basis. Some discrete questioning, however, revealed that this favourtism has been monstrously obvious to everyone but me for months now. It strikes me as ironic - all my life, I've been fascinated by power dynamics. My undergraduate social science courses were heavily based on power dynamics, and I was never awarded a score less than an A for my interpretations of power dynamics. I suppose I allowed myself to become arrogant and complacent - an absolutely terrible combination for someone who relies so heavily upon interpretations of power. Hopefully it's not too late for me to benefit from this revelation.
I guess there's a message to all of this - don't underestimate people, but don't overestimate them, either. Both mistakes are about equally deleterious.
...And my fiance's getting that job now"
So... I finally caught you little fish :D Nice game by the way. Do you have anything to say in your defense, or is it going to be just a handshake and a wink?
I would have done it myself because yes, it is tempting, but see, if she dies, I get blamed because everyone knows she's the one who put the hit out. It's quite a conundrum. You're free to do it, of course, but then I'd still get blamed, I'd still get shot or burned or whatever the hell the old witch has ordered, and you would have no one to investigate here. Which means that you'd have to open your own PI business. Which means that you'd either have to pay rent and taxes or commit various crimes to avoid these annoyances. So really, it sounds like a lot of hassle to me.
