    The back and forth about the scene logger is a bit more perplexing. Ada seems to expect some evidence of RP (“I haven’t seen any substantive RP…”) yet does not clearly state how that evidence should be provided. Are they, in fact, expecting a log? An explanation in the job? A confirmation from the other player? I can understand WS’ frustration on the lack of clear instructions. But it sounds like maybe there was some prior history there (re: “we wrote out long explanations the last time, you said…”) so there might be more to the story.

    As I understand it, scenes connected to actions are meant to be logged using the in game @scene command so that Ada can review the logs and make sure the RP matches the intent of the actions. I’m pretty sure I saw that in the game’s documentation somewhere.

    it wasn’t just canceling the jobs, it was that entire exchange. as Ada called it, getting browbeaten like that over something incredibly minor, to me, reads like a big red flag for what was only going to be an escalating series of headaches and selfish behavior down the road, and showing a player like that the door early really doesn’t seem like a bad move to me.

    if you want a GM at your beck and call, just to be frank, there are professional paid online tabletop services that offer that you can go and find very easily. they’re advertised everywhere.

    Life got hard and complicated, so I didn’t sell over half of my Arx Cat Tarot Decks. I didn’t mind, that wasn’t the point of their creation, and I’ve never been good at selling my stuff.

    As of last week, however, in a small town in Kentucky, a witchy metaphysical shop has opened up, and thanks to my biological father being himself and showing off my work to strangers, I have sold twelve to the store’s proprietor and she’s just put in an order for at least ten more.

    She’s commending me for the imagery and symbolism and she’s using my cards to teach her weekly tarot classes.

    Whew.

    This is her favorite card.

    canceling a bunch of other jobs out of frustration because one hadn’t been responded to in less than a week just feels like really entitled behavior in 2025, and definitely doesn’t feel like a polite follow up to me, but ymmv.

    I cancelled a bunch of others cause having a bunch of actions open that we’re being addressed was really making me feel a kind of way.

    you complained that job 18 had been open longest and she points out that it hadn’t even been 5 days? that is looney toons, dude.

    Okay… I guess I’m in the wrong. If I am, I’ll own it. What did I do that I wasn’t supposed to do?

    Can someone please clue me in? I know Warma Sheen has some history, but to a request like that, I’d say something like, “I’m focusing on finishing up plot X. But looking at the request, I don’t think we have support for that kind of RP, unfortunately. Try another angle aside from a complete wealth transferral (however temporary). Sounds good?”

    What am I missing?
