@Istus said in Witcher MUSH Design:

I probably should not have attached a label to it. I don’t think I truly understand the nuance between the various flavours. I’ll do my best to describe the end goal.

What makes a game one or the other can be pretty arbitrary imo, and I do think there’s sometimes a bias here as to the difference that isn’t necessarily shared with the rest of the hobby.

Arx has as many coded systems as some RPI MUDs, for example, but they call themselves a MUSH. It’s a pretty hazy line.

I think most people would agree that if the focus of the game is on MMO-style gaming, it’s a MUD, and if it’s roleplay it’s a MUSH/MUX/whatever, the latter distinctions depending on the codebase you’re using. Since Evennia can be used to make either a MUD or a MUSH it’s basically whatever you want to call it, depending on the crowd you’re trying to attract.

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.

I can’t vouch for this site in general but the facts here are basically lined up with other trustworthy sources and condensed.

This just goes back for ages.

@Wizz said in Historical Games Round 75:

Just re: feeling dismissed in this thread, I do feel like it’s important to point out that any time you have several people who feel deeply passionate about a topic but are diametrically opposed in their opinion, you’re going to feel a little dismissed regardless of intent of the other party.

To be clear, I am not feeling this way because someone disagrees. There have been a number of people (among them the ones KarmaBum quoted) who have argued the opposing position quite kindly. Other comments, especially taken together, have made at least two of us feel dismissed. But as @shit-piss-love says, I’m not interested in scouring the thread and pointing fingers at specific comments. The point has been made, and folks can either keep it in mind when posting disagreements or not.

@crawfish

I feel like we need a list for everything and explanations. Release the truth about cats. ❤

After discussion with the full team (WELCOME, @junipersky!!) we are agreed that:

We will be reinstating the log that was deleted. It will be placed behind spoiler tags.

Going forward we would ask that logs – especially logs of SUCH LENGTH – be placed behind spoiler tags with some sort of context or TL;DR so that people know what they are in for if they choose to view.

We will continue to discuss and review when and if we have any situations in need of revisiting this stance.

@Wuff That was awful!

@dvoraen Not that we’ve found. And we’d like the capacity for the ad poster to be able to make subsequent posts.

@Faraday said in World Tone / Feeling:

The important thing is to set expectations.

Agreed. Even the most well-thought-out story-based consequence can feel like a capricious punishment rather than an interesting story moment if there’s no communication and the player is blind-sided.

@hobos VK/Hella lies. A lot. She did the same shit on Arx that she was doing a decade ago.

I missed you when you got yourself booted from Arx, but, well. I hope you manage to get yourself out of the hole she’s encouraging you to dig for her.

@Arkandel YES!

This is the only AI roleplay I want to see.

Thank you all for going the extra mile to move a LONG hijack out of a peaceful forum and into the rowdy forum.

@TNP Howl

@crawfish Or you can be an overachiever and do both!

Seriously though. Thank you for that reminder. It is very much appreciated.

@Faraday I’m not a kimono expert or even novice but I can tell at a moderate glance that’s AI, too. The sleeves, and the way the folds don’t match above and below the belt. That’s the first thing I look at, making sure the borders of things make sense/line up. AI is not good at it.
