@Cobalt I will have to check hers out. The focus of so many that I have read being abuse is kinda putting me off the omegaverse stuff. I like that gender, typically, is not a big factor.

I just wanted to drop another note here thanking everyone for their insights on this and @STD for starting the discussion. I am a ‘worst case scenario’ kind of person and wasn’t really expecting anyone (or very few people) to join ND but we have 17 registered bits (including myself and 1 alt) and people are really running with the idea and creating things to make it their own.

And I really don’t think that would be happening if I still had the Handle policy in place. So thank you 😊

@Faraday said in Really random Ares question:

custom CSS tools to hide the hearts if they also bother you

I do that on games that have them, but I can’t install custom CSS tools on my work browser, and there aren’t any for mobile devices to my knowledge.

So I still kinda gotta see them most of the time. 😛

@Aria That’s the one I was thinking of, yes.

Congrats to everyone that made this place what it is.

@Roz You’re an angel, thank you for this.

@baron8550 Message Testament for an invite to the Discord. I would invite but not sure non-staff can invite.

I forked off a few posts, old and new, related to a former and now-banned player. They can be found here: https://brandmuday.mythicus.net/topic/359/eto-drama-fork/11

Hiding information to appease them? Not so much.

Lack of transparancy encourages them.

I think there’s a difference between “lack of transparency” and “privacy” and people conflate the two a lot.

Portal for most things about scenes.
Client for channels, pages, and handling fs3 combat.

@Tez Thank you, I was probably being overcautious. The post you linked was exactly the kind of thing that prompted me to start a satellite community. It was an excellent post, polite, prudent, and mature. Having to walk on eggshells around mods just to have that discussion didn’t sit right with me.

This one is a bit more of an OOC amusement, and technically not MU* related, but it still makes me laugh, so I will share.

There was an RP mission going on, and there were a couple different characters along. Our two main players I will call Kaz and Quill. Kaz is still learning to fight, and as such is taken aback when a group of enemies sets on the party.

Kaz rolls really well. Remarkably well. The best kind of dice you can get well. Kaz decides to RP it as kicking one of the enemies in the balls.

Enemies have been listed by numbers, so Kaz pose identifies the target of this kick as [1]. The thing about this system is that… listing with these brackets will pull a name from the party list.

What Kaz means to pose is,

Kaz , now spun around, is seeing red. How DARE this guy try and stab him from behind! Bringing his leg back, he immediately sends his foot right into [1]'s crotch before turning and giving Quill a thumbs up for the attempted help.

What everyone actually sees:

Kaz, now spun around, is seeing red. How DARE this guy try and stab him from behind! Bringing his leg back, he immediately sends his foot right into Quill’s crotch before turning and giving Quill a thumbs up for the attempted help.

Keeping evidence of supernatural stuff from being revealed to mortals at large impossible? People will leak all the details?

Sure would be a shame if an omnipotent being were to decide they didn’t want any evidence to be found, because of mysterious ways…

@Faraday said in Game Handing Overs:

FWIW, I’m making an admin command for Ares that will clear out private info, similar to what’s done when a char idles out or goes on the roster. The pragmatic issue though is how someone would reclaim their character after the wipe - how would you know who was who if everything got wiped.

Just to follow up - this ended up not being a command, per se, but a set of instructions/guidance in the game management tutorials: Transferring a Game.

@Raeras Thank you! And I agree, I’ve been spoiled by Ares as well, especially with async scenes. I’ve spent a lot of time and effort developing systems that I hope will be respectful of your time in a traditional public scene pace.

And if something isn’t working as I hoped, I’ll always be open to suggestions on how to improve it.

At some point, in a few years, someone’s gonna launch an Ares with a few AI players on async, and see how long it takes for someone to notice.

It’s impossible to play on a Mu* anymore for me. Asking for RP and finding RP is such a chore and then when it’s found it’s usually some weird slice-of-life stuff that people want to play, which in a lot of cases isn’t what I’m looking for.

So it’s a constant circle of building PCs, getting amped, trying to find something to do, and failing and just realizing hours/days/weeks/months/whatever of my life has been wasted.

@SpaceKhomeini If it’s someone I’ve actually had no contact with and the tone is sharp, I take it as flirting for PVP so… if you open that door, don’t let me hear any shit when I walk through it.

@Herja @kalakh @sao @Evilgrayson

Encouraging me to be the evil character I dream of being, in their own ways, and listening to me scream as I struggle. It’s a small thing to anyone else maybe but I appreciate you guys because it’s really really really difficult for me. Maybe one day I’ll graduate to stealing food from babies and mixing skittles, m&ms, and reeses in the same candy bowl.

it’s so hard guys
