            Admittedly, the wiki could use a makeover, and the character list could use an update (a bunch of them aren’t on +census… and +census has folks not on the wiki, I think)

            But! It is totally there, and I totally have semi-regular arguments about how the chargen is dumb and I hate it, while they mostly tolerate my presence. FOR NOW.

              Huh. I never thought there’d be such a thing. Thanks, you two.

                “Please leave immediately. We love you.”

                I think it’s pretty clear!

                  So the game is shit, run by people who are shit, and played (not exclusively) by people who are shit.

                  Why d’you wanna play there, again?

                  I wish we had a gentler way of saying this.

                  Quitting a game is HARD. If you’re the kind of person who’s on a lot, having that window there, talking to people, thinking about the game, working on your character(s), playing, it becomes a part of your life.

                  Leaving a game leaves a gigantic hole in your life. It’s a loss. And I’m pretty sure it on some level works psychologically like any other loss.

                  So I wish there was a very, very gentle way to suggest that a person quit a game, that doesn’t come off cold and a little condescending. Because I’ve done that, and I hate how I sound when I say it.

                  I’ve managed to do it, quit a game. And it’s hard. It hurts.

                  But in the end it’s often the right thing, if a game has soured.

                      I imagine it’s similar to leaving an abusive relationship. It doesn’t really matter what we say or how we say it, it’s entirely up to the person involved.

                      That said, sometimes a splash of cold water helps. Sometimes it doesn’t.

                        Also, aside from the sunk costs factor over your character’s achievements, there is also the cold reality that just because you have had enough, and you want to leave, that doesn’t mean your friends are quite there yet.

                        So you’re also dealing with fear of missing out and the social exclusion from your tribe of buddies. Hell even if they were to leave (and that’s never a given) who’s to say they’d all go to the same game, or that your new PCs would be associated again?

                        Once you’re gone, all that is gone too.

                            @Vulgar-Boy Might be a DC game in the works but I haven’t been following it too closely. Ready to yeet Carol Ferris at the roster once it’s ready.

                              HA is a GOMO sandbox by and for the people chiefly responsible for UH being what it was - they had no problem whatsoever with any of it, the stalking or harassment or anything else, until Ruby finally got splashback from the stuff she’d spent years enabling and attacking people for questioning. It now has the added bonus of now being run entirely by a guy who openly hates comics and insults people who want to do comic things, who multiple people have been quietly banned after formally complaining about his behavior, and who’s mostly interested in adding another hundred pages to his epic theme nobody reads. The one my friend and I had to yell at him to not include white space gods civilizing savage Wakanda in. Oh, and Jubilation Lee from Shang, one of their most infamous sexpests, is protected by staff despite having - shock! - harassed multiple people.

                              UH is mostly empty but allegedly the two people left running it learned their lesson in a way HA absolutely did not.

                              80s, if it’s still even around, is run by Macha.

                              IA was the last one I would call GOOD.

                                  @Vulgar-Boy You could check the Ares hub. It seems like most superhero games don’t advertise around these parts lately.

                                    For fans of comic book games, and of RhostMUSH the engine, the hobby suffered a real blow when Ixokai/Theorem passed. RIP.

                                        He’s Emma Frost/Talia/Monet/et al.

                                        Literally the first person to page every female character, if it’s one whose genitals he wants to fumble with. Drove at least one person from the game in tears because he refused to quit bothering her.

                                        On Shang, there are multiple rules that were put in place just to deal with him.

                                        On HA, he’s considered by staff to be one of their most valued players.
