    I recall ‘Dublin By Night’ where the most popular bar in Dublin exploded every few weeks and would be rebuilt in a week or so, the bartender bot unscathed. He was inexplicably named Cervantes and probably had a world’s record for surviving explosions unscathed.

      … at least seventy-five percent plot and less than twenty-five percent social or slice-of-life

      It can be slice of life. Lets go to the bar and compete in the axe-throwing contest, lets go and I can introduce you to work friends, lets go and just eat finger-foods while we work on term papers because somehow the crowd talking is ASMR and helps us focus. Any-fucking-thing other than

      everyone sips beer and waits for the other person to make the first move and then try to justify starting up small talk

      Someone just shoot me. At least then, something will be going on that makes me want to pay attention.

        More accurate for Belfast, but I don’t imagine most folk would know the difference.

          @Pavel It didn’t explode for the same reasons. The bar in Dublin exploded frequently for the mysterious and supernatural reason that it was often full of BaRPers and any PCs doing violence liked to run there and go Lookit ME!

            We had this on the WoD chats on the official White Wolf servers in the late '90s/early '00s, too, except it was called The Drunken Scotsman and instead of blowing up, it burned down every few weeks.

            Good times, good times.

              Don’t. I got an app once for an IRA Fianna Ahroun in Colorado, whose player obviously didn’t know the bloody difference. They then lost their shit on me for being English and/or saying ‘no’. I’m not sure which was the worst offence, but apparently I was supposed to let them play it after they’d unloaded both barrels, the grenade launcher, several magazines and a metric shedload of assorted high-octane vituperation in my direction.

              It’d be really nice if people could at least do a teeny tiny little bit of research before showing their whole arse.

                My absolute hate-favorite of a werewolf experience was playing a Get of Fenris who was unapproved by a new staffer after six months on the grid because they realized the character was black.

                This was before the PB days so you had to, y’know, read descs and I very neutrally described him as such. I also made zero issue of it in RP.

                Somebody thought this was un-thematic.

                Decades later I’m still fucking mad.

                I woke up feeling so good, I think I’d better call in sick/ I need a personal trainer to help me hold my drink
                I plan to be spontaneous next time we meet/I’m putting off procrastinating until next week
                I’ll get onto it when I give a shit

                  @SpaceKhomeini uhhhhhhh

                  Good of the staff to come out and openly say the Get are Nazis, I guess? You know where you stand with a declaration like that. Time for another War of Rage to get rid of the Get of Hitler.

                    @GF My Get PC, so very long ago, was totally Minnesota Swedish. But he was a florist.

                    @SpaceKhomeini Once my faction suffered a staff-change and my new GM would just randomly page me to tell me how much he hated my character and would never ever have approved that. But at least it wasn’t racist, and staff changes happened so often there around then that I didn’t have to do much but shrug and wait.

                      Y’all WoD players had wild standards of what to expect from staff.

                        @Tez Hey now. It’s been determined that having expectations of MU GMs is bad, and wrong, and ‘entitled.’

                          I have a character who runs a bar, and I agreed to it (three characters in total donated to get the place up and running) simply because it has a lot of potential to generate RP.

                          Yeah, it can get out of hand, and what do you do when everyone on grid tries to show up?

                          But so far, it’s been a positive experience.
