I might as well post the message I sent to the IFPA regarding this matter, asking that the pinball tournaments at OBX Flippers have heavily penalized or zero ranking points (which would make everyone reconsider the event and their actions).

Some names and details obscured or edited, just in case.
An email to the IFPA from November 10th, 11:55 AM that reads: Hello, I'm Trace Evans, player ID #101240, and I wanted to send along my thoughts regarding three OBX Flippers tournaments, #98531, #98531, and #101247. While I've read comments and calls to action from others who were at the event, this message is not at anyone else's request. That said, I'd like you to consider heavily penalizing or removing IFPA ranking points from these tournaments due to violations of player safety and gender inclusion. I've heard that the IFPA, its board, and its directors are already aware of this issue, so hopefully you already understand that this concerns an incident where a transgender woman, at the beginning of main qualifying, was chased out of a bathroom and threatened by an employee of Flippers. Hopefully you've also heard that this employee was not forced to leave and, instead, continued to work until 3 PM, with no meaningful attempt made by tournament director Kevin Stone or Flippers ownership to remove her or suspend qualifying until the situation was resolved. I was fortunate enough not to be at Flippers when the initial incident occurred, due to my group (myself and [intentionally blurred group names]) running behind on our morning routine. We discovered what happened when we received text messages from people on-site warning us that it was potentially unsafe at Flippers and that it would be best to stay away. About 30 minutes later, we received follow-up messages saying that it was safe enough for us to head to Flippers, and our presence would be helpful for resolving the issue, especially given the affected player from the initial incident was still in the midst of a panic attack outside the venue and in need of assistance. Upon arriving, it was clear that the tournament was mostly continuing as if nothing had happened, while about a dozen women and LGBT players remained just outside Flippers demanding further action. Kevin Stone thrust responsibility for resolving the issue onto women like Sammie Bacon and Kaylee Campbell, rather than taking action to resolve the matter himself. This made any attempt to find a safe resolution extremely difficult, especially when we learned the employee who was refusing to leave had continued harassing other players based on their appearance, including cisgender women. The offers given -- extra qualifying time "for those affected," and refunds for anyone who no longer wanted to participate -- were woefully inadequate. Despite the fact I was not directly threatened as a straight cisgender male, I could not, in good conscience, enter and participate in these tournaments. I would not have been able to enjoy myself, much less focus on playing competitively, while having to keep an eye on my LGBT friends and ensuring their safety. Given the employee in question had not been removed or banned from the premises, I was concerned she would attempt to return to the venue to harass and threaten players further. I especially wasn't willing to support Kevin Stone or Flippers at this point, neither of which seemed the least bit interested in taking any action to protect or even defend the players threatened. That lack of action or willingness to stand up for the players concerns me the most. There is a chance, if we had arrived right before the start of the event as intended, that [name intentionally blurred] would have been the one chased out of the women's bathroom. Would the response have been any different if it had been her, someone more known in the community who was far more willing to stand up for herself? What if Kaylee Campbell had been the one threatened by this employee? What if it had been Sammie Bacon, and this employee had attempted to follow through on her threats to call the cops? These scenarios all pose the same concerning safety issues, and the affected player shouldn't matter. This is clearly an uncomfortable incident and situation not only for this tournament, but for the pinball community in general. However, it's also the best time to send a message that this behavior is not OK per IFPA rules and its gender inclusion policy. A mere statement or a promise not to let this happen going forward won't erase the damage this incident caused any more than "thoughts and prayers," and hoping that folks will simply not attend based on word of mouth is essentially choosing to erase LGBT participation from a major event and nothing more. Heavily penalizing or excluding these tournaments from IFPA rankings would send a strong message that it is on tournament directors to ensure their events are safe for everyone, while also reminding players who turned a blind eye and continued to participate that it is just as much on them to make sure the community stays safe and that supporting each other is necessary if competitive pinball is to prosper. I hope you'll give serious consideration to taking actions against these tournaments, for the sake of everyone affected. Thank you very much for taking your time to read this and your consideration. -Trace Evans

Endless III: Season of the Blood Moon starts at noon! For 3 hours, I'll be attempting to identify every ghost type in Phasmo under the blood moon, and raising money for @paradoxopera.bsky.social during their raid train!

It's my last planned stream for a while! ...unless... www.twitch.tv/peaceegg

I think about this Mastodon shitpost far more often than I probably should.

Most of my posts over there were depressing nonsense, but occasionally? Underground bangers.

It's the last day of double XP in Phasmophobia, and I'm going to use the last few hours to knock out a few more investigations and try to get back to reasonable ghost hunting gear in prestige XIV.

Will I get there? I dunno. I should probably start investigating. www.twitch.tv/peaceegg

It's another day of double XP in Phasmophobia, and I'm looking to reach prestige XIV before the slightly-shorter day is done.

Let's go ghost hunting for as many levels as we can get! Rationally, of course. I'm not grinding or anything. ...right? www.twitch.tv/peaceegg

Phasmophobia is officially five years old as of today! I'm going to keep working towards another prestige as the double XP event rolls onward.

Let's celebrate many years of ghost hunting! www.twitch.tv/peaceegg

It's Phasmophobia's 5-year anniversary, and there's double XP to be had! I'm going to try and take advantage of this as much as possible (and probably burn out). I'm close to one prestige, but can I get a second prestige before the week's over?

Let's hunt ghosts and find out. www.twitch.tv/peaceegg

Five years later, and some things never truly change in Phasmophobia.
A picture in Phasmophobia's journal, showing a ghost walking through a DOTS device and being illuminated. To the right, where it should say "DOTS Ghost" and assign it a monetary value, it instead says "Value: $0", because despite what is clearly shown in the photo, Phasmophobia has not detected a ghost in the picture.

That's it. That's the message. Let's do all of that. Include being tired. www.twitch.tv/peaceegg

I keep forgetting to document non-stream moments on here, so have a few shots of Abby from visiting my parents this weekend.

She's just about back to her old self now that she has well-controlled outdoor access. It's a huge relief, given all she's been through in the last few years.

So now Kinetic has an official merch store, and while I'm absolutely going to pick up a patch in the future, I'm kind of bummed that none of their shirt designs appeal to me like the original GDQ shirt did.

(amzn.to/41A25sb for current store reference)
The original GDQ Phasmophobia t-shirt design taken from an archived theyetee.com page. It's a black shirt with white, faded blue, and neon green color accents, and depicts many of the tools and evidences from Phasmophobia at the time in a somewhat abstract collage-esque form. In the upper right is a 22% sanity meter in the original style, as a subtle nod to Summer Games Done Quick 2022, where the speedrun took place. A screenshot of the current Phasmophobia merch store, featuring shirts with much more focused and central designs to various concepts around the game. The color schemes are also more subdued, with some designs featuring dark red or aqua blue, but rarely more than one color outside of black or white hues.

I was still a little hurt over my lousy pinball performance tonight, so I took it out on a nearby Deadpool table. Got a PB and finally knocked out the default grand champion.

I've spent the last few days reorganizing my office, but it's time to pause that for a little while, rest, and play some Phasmophobia with friends!

Seriously, not having an overwhelming pile of boxes in here rules, even if I moved most of them elsewhere www.twitch.tv/peaceegg

Happy Spirit Box Saturday! I'm speedrunning Phasmophobia with @nichole.bsky.social and @bathinjan.bsky.social and we're going to have a fantastic time crushing all of the maps in a row, probably on Nightmare!

They'll never see it coming, these spooky maps. www.twitch.tv/peaceegg

I am a little behind the ball this week, but the new Grafton Farmhouse is OUT in Phasmophobia! Naturally, I have to explore that. @fouton.bsky.social and Katie will help out, too!

Let's get some ghosts. www.twitch.tv/peaceegg

Won my Arcade Pit match alongside @ginpu.newgrounds.com, which included me showing off my old Uniracers skills, profusely sweating as I struggled through a Super C boss, and identifying the traditional position for three Kirbies looking to get into a movie theater.

I'm about to take on speedruns in Phasmophobia with @nichole.bsky.social and @bathinjan.bsky.social! It'll be great! We definitely will use all the cutting-edge techniques and not resort to cursing and comedy to determine ghosts and stuff!

It's gonna go wonderfully. www.twitch.tv/peaceegg

With a week to go until the new Grafton map debuts, I'm probably going to check out the old Grafton layout a bit this week. Beyond that, it's Phasmophobia with friends!

Also, I'm opening something mysterious at some point during stream? www.twitch.tv/peaceegg

I've been disappointed with my pinball play as of late, so rather than grouse and continue to flail at tournaments, I'm trying to make a concerted effort to practice and attempt to improve my play.

The good part is there's an incredible pinball bar very close to me.
