Drama Queen Pro 3.1 and Full Support

Disclaimer: Use at Your Own Risk

Drama Queen is a prank addon. It automatically posts fictional personal drama to guild chat, under your character's name, on a timer, with nothing to tell readers it is fake. By downloading, installing or running it, you accept everything below. If any of it gives you pause, do not use it.

1. People will believe it

• The posts are written to read like real news from you: pregnancy, arrests, cheating, eviction, court dates, family fallouts. Guildmates may take them at face value.
• Expect worried whispers, sincere advice, offers of help, awkward questions in voice chat and, possibly, people who feel hurt or misled when they learn it was a bit.
• Some of your guildmates may be living through exactly these situations. A joke for you can land as something painful for them.
• Whatever happens to your friendships, reputation, guild standing or relationships because of these posts is your responsibility, not the author's.

2. Ask before you post

• We strongly recommend getting your guild leader's and officers' permission first, and telling your guild that Drama Queen is running.
• Do not run it in a guild that has not agreed to automated posts. Repeated automated messages in a guild that does not want them can be treated as spam.
• If someone asks whether you are okay, tell them the truth. Never use the posts to get sympathy, gifts, gold, money, carries or favors. Asking for anything on the strength of a fake crisis is a scam, and it is not what this addon is for.

3. Your account, your risk

• Players can report chat they find disruptive, misleading or spammy. Reports can lead to chat silences or other account action under Blizzard's rules. You alone are responsible for how you use this addon and for any action taken against your account.
• Drama Queen is a fan-made addon. It is not made, endorsed or supported by Blizzard Entertainment.
• It is provided as is, with no warranty of any kind. Game patches can change or break chat behavior at any time.

3b. The Queen Detector shares that you run it

• Every copy of Drama Queen Pro announces itself, with your character name, version and post count, to other copies in your guild, your group and the Drama Queen network. Anyone running it can see that you run it too.
• The network is a chat channel called DramaQueenNet. It only carries hidden addon messages and is kept out of your chat windows, but it does use one of your channel slots. Turn it off in the Settings tab or with /dq network if you would rather stay hidden.

4. Keep it fictional

• Do not edit the addon to name real players, real people or real places, to reveal anyone's private information, or to target anyone. That turns a prank into harassment.
• Do not add lines about self-harm, suicide, abuse or violence. People rightly treat those as emergencies.
• Version 2.5 also posts in /emote and /say, which everyone near you can see, including strangers and players outside your guild. Untick Cause drama publicly (or type /dq public) in busy cities, in groups with people you don't know, and anywhere you would not want an audience.
• Public /say and /emote drama is far more likely to be reported than guild chat. Never aim it at strangers, and stop at once if anyone nearby objects.

5. When to switch it off

• If anyone in your guild is upset, worried or asks you to stop, type /dq off and explain. Letting go is the first virtue of the Coil.
• Turn it off during serious guild moments, real announcements, memorials, or when a guildmate is going through something real.

If you or someone in your guild is dealing with any of these situations for real, please talk to someone you trust or a local support service. A WoW addon is not the place for that, and real problems deserve real help.
