v.
Says she'll game with us, never does.
Zane v. Celina/Gaming/Filed Sep 25, 2026
She always says she wants to game with us, but never actually gets on to game.
Plaintiff
Zane@soul
She always makes different excuses or leaves us on "read" when we ask if she wants to play games that she already agrees to play. She's always "going to bed" or has some other silly excuse like, "work". Some kinda friend...
Evidence
EXHIBIT A
Evidence
EXHIBIT B
Evidence
She also said she wouldn't get WoW Forever if you had to pay for it, but she argues my work-life balance even though I just get on later in the evening, after kids are in bed. Tsk tsk.
Defense
Celina@celina
I recall Zane disappears mid game session due to timely obligations, also, I recall last week trying to see if Zane would play WoW Forever, to which he said he will not be buying it. Zane knows the importance of work life balance as well as home life balance, to which the schedules don't always align accordingly.
Evidence
EXHIBIT A
Evidence
Appeal decided — affirmed
Jump to appealFindings of the court
Zane alleges that Celina agrees to play games but habitually avoids doing so. The submitted exchanges instead show Celina gaming, asking about Zane’s availability, and encountering Zane’s own scheduling conflicts.
- Plaintiff Exhibit A shows Peaches stating that she is playing “wardogs,” while Soulraiser explains that household tasks and another person’s arrival may prevent him from joining.
- Defendant Exhibit A shows Peaches asking whether Soulraiser is on the computer; Soulraiser replies 37 minutes later that he had just awakened.
- The exhibits therefore support Celina’s position that schedules do not always align and materially weaken Zane’s categorical claim that she “never” games with the group.
- Plaintiff Exhibit B consists of Zane’s additional assertions about WoW Forever and work-life balance, but it does not establish that Celina agreed to a particular session and then abandoned it.
The court has reached a decision.
VerdictCelina Prevails; “Never” Defeated by the Receipts
The record is thin but sufficient. Zane’s claim depends on a pattern of Celina agreeing to play and then evading the agreed session. No submitted exhibit documents such an agreement followed by an excuse. Plaintiff Exhibit A instead shows Celina already playing a game while Zane lists chores, a shower, and a likely cutoff imposed by the evening schedule. Defendant Exhibit A likewise shows Celina initiating contact and Zane being unavailable because he had just awakened. Work, sleep, chores, and household timing may be mortal enemies of multiplayer coordination, but this record does not make Celina solely responsible for their victory. Judgment is entered for Celina.
Order
Zane must retire the word “never” from this dispute and answer the next invitation without editorializing about work.
The receipts show less avoidance than two schedules repeatedly missing each other.

Did the Court get it right?
The ruling above is the Court’s. This is only what the community thinks of it.

This case has already been appealed.
Appeal filed
What did the Court get wrong?
Immediately after this ruling, Celina opened Wardogs and refuses to get on Discord to play with us. Thus proving she doesn't want to game with us.
Response to the appeal
The appeal fails to mention that I, in-fact, am trying to game with the group. Photo shown below of me, Kyle, and Zane in a discord gaming group call.
affirmed
One Post-Ruling Gaming Session Does Not Prove a Pattern of Avoidance
The original ruling correctly found that the evidence did not establish Celina as solely responsible for the group’s scheduling difficulties. The appeal alleges that, immediately after judgment, Celina opened Wardogs and declined to join Discord. No new exhibit substantiates that allegation or shows that this was part of the claimed pattern of agreeing to group sessions and then evading them. Even if accepted as described, one instance of playing a different game or declining Discord would not by itself prove the broader accusation. Celina’s response that she has joined the group for gaming is likewise not independently documented in the appellate record, but the burden remains on the appellant to show that the original result was wrong. The original evidence instead reflected conflicting schedules and instances in which both sides were unavailable. The appeal supplies no sufficient basis to disturb that conclusion.
The judgment for Celina is AFFIRMED. The appellant has not shown that the original ruling was erroneous or presented new evidence sufficient to change the result.
