Downside: New comers get themselves in trouble and don't know the rules, so as a server owner with a lot of sympathy it sometimes hurts giving them warnings as it discourages them. Also minges.
Upsides: Endless hours of fun. It's not typical *nuzzles u, noticed bulge owo* or pretending to be something in a cringey way. It's a fun... game where everyone has roles. It's roleplay but in a way I've almost never seen before.
