A Horde Diplo with Cone Monochromacy, a rare form of colorblindness, caused a brief reign of terror this week while attempting to adjust standings for an on-boarding renter corp. In a brief moment of confusion, the diplomat set the renter corp to +10 instead of +5.
Due to his condition, he failed to notice the error, and it went uncorrected for over eight hours. Eventually, it was fixed by a director who was pinged out of bed; though by that time, the damage had been done—Millions of ISK in customs office and refining taxes had been lost.
We reached out to the diplo for comment. He informed us that he: “[was] still working to overcome difficulties with his new handicap.” and that “While unfortunate, it pales in comparison to the frustration I felt earlier, when I accidentally purchased a Granny Smith apple. I’ll just have to use more caution in the future”. He explained that unlike typical cases of genetic color blindness, his condition was caused by “retinal toxicity”, from a regimen of hydroxychloroquine, earlier this year.
When we reached out to Horde leadership for comment, they informed us that “The diplomat in question has been sacked”, and referred us to a previous statement where they explained that he was being dismissed for his involvement in a Discord colorblindness support group.
