@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.

@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!

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.

THE ONLY BRACKETS I LOVE.

Alrighty, no default attributes at all, all rolls will call for attr+skill.

… somehow.

Oh look the guy who was clearly posting in bad faith, came back, registered a new account, and made another bad faith post.

You guys were right to ban. 100%.

@Tez Yeah I’ll poke it!

@hellfrog said in Mod Voice:

I personally just want to go back to a world where I never really thought about who was mod. Mu privilege.

Alas, that veil of innocence has been torn away permanently.

I just got an email from livejournal for a pern lj I kept in 2007 (apparently a ‘friend’ is celebrating their 15 year lj anniversary). Pern mushes and livejournal. I did sooo much writing associated with those games.

I think pre-planning can be fun, and even a Good Idea, especially if you’re looking for something that’s potentially intense or sensitive. Being on the same, explicitly stated page about what the expectations are for a connection isn’t bad!

But it ultimately does come down to being able to trust another player, because unfortunately, people will absolutely agree to X while wanting Y and figure they can just “persuade you later”.

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…
