Good things in Mushing

@Tat THAT IS IT

BloodAngel

@Tat It’s why I love running plots on mushes as much as I enjoy running TT!

KarmaBum

I love that I have great memories of things that never actually really happened.

I was in jail with @tsar.

@Pyrephox tazed me a few months ago.

So long ago that I barely remember it, @farfalla wrote me ~~love~~ ~~from~~ love letters.

@bear_necessities and I lived in a haunted B&B.

@Floof brought me my Bible.

I rode my dragon alongside @Tat.

I shucked clams with @Snackness (which sounds dirty :D).

This list goes on and on and on.

@KarmaBum Even though we’ve never RPed enough for me to have this kind of memory with you, I honestly teared up reading your list because it really is the kind of thing that makes the hobby great.

bear_necessities

@KarmaBum remember that one time @tsar ran the plot in the fun house and set it on fire and I got to kool-aid man through the wall? Or that time in the jewelry store where we killed all the NPCs!

I remember my Arx wedding to @Snackness where I’m pretty sure people kept threatening my character and I couldn’t stop laughing

JUST SURRENDER COME ON!!!

shouts our PCs like we weren’t in control of the combat code making the NPCs attack endlessly

bear_necessities

Honestly I have so many good memories in my years and years of RP. I even today look fondly back on the things that irritated me in the past, and I can find the great in it, and wish I hadn’t taken it so badly back then. A lot of you made me a better RPer, a better storyteller, and have confidence in my writing.

YetiBeard

Prank wars on multiple places consisting of back and forth vignettes.

Crying laughing at things like possum attacks with @tat and then getting to play big emotinal payoff scenes months in the making.

Punching out feelings with characters bad at talking with @Pyrephox

Randomly having @Third-Eye and I decide their characters yell out the others name in greeting at every social event.

An NPC big-bad funeral scene run by @KarmaBum and @bear_necessities that absolutely rocked characters’ worlds.

Having found multiple groups of people at multiple places willing to “yes and…” ridiculous scenes into full blow mini-plots that often turned from goofy throw-aways into real character development.

farfalla

I know friendship is bad, but so many friends I made and kept for 20+ years.

Also I can type really fast.

BloodAngel

@farfalla faster than light

IoleRae

@BloodAngel

BloodAngel

@IoleRae Oh wait I’m being a coward using gifs not words again. DAMMIT! But yes it is adorbs.

That was a good time. I had that log up not too long ago.

Third Eye

@YetiBeard
YETI.

Being a disabled person who can only leave the house with a helper and isn’t even able to drive a car themselves – and still being able to be part of a community of people and have a social life.

That’s what Mushing is for me.

BloodAngel

@L-B-Heuschkel honored to have you in this community.

IoleRae

New to me people who turn out to be awesome.

It still happens and it’s always awesome when it does.

Duke Whisky

Just some nice storytelling that has you long pause to think - how would my character react to this. How would they feel? Oh they could do X and Y and we’ll see how this story develops on.

That’s been delightful these last few weeks.

Testament

I’m still struggling with a lot extreme depressive mood swings. But I haven’t abandoned the game I built. I still find time to help players that want to develop their characters or bring some new idea to world building.

It’s…nice when I’m told how thoughtful I’ve been in wanting them to feel like they matter. That’s hard to take but it’s nice. I try to remind myself of those things, even if I don’t really believe it myself. Or worth their time. It is a demon I continue to deal with. But the little signs I see tell me that it’s still worthwhile doing.
