MU Peeves Thread
-
@imstillhere major back up on this peeve. I mean sometimes the struggle is part of the concept at least for me.

@Alamias said in MU Peeves Thread:
I’m sorry that your character is tied to mine and my lack of being able to log in has caused you grief, but what is the alternative?
I’ve seen this happen often, and I feel for you. I encourage people to create characters that won’t stop functioning when the player of a character they’re tied to has to disappear for a while.
-
@Jumpscare That’s the thing. On paper to my knowledge, this shouldn’t be the case. The person in question should be able to go off and do their own thing regardless of me being around or not so I am not sure how or why this became an issue that got laid down at my feet.
Trust me, it sucks just as much if not more for me that I can’t get on to RP as it does them, but at least they have the ability to get on and RP at all, so I don’t know why I became the bad guy in this particular instance.
It baffles me and makes me sad. I don’t know if it is the depression talking (probably) but it’s enough to make me just toss my hands up and retire the character even when my schedule does get more manageable.

This does not actually sound like you are at all the problem for this person in this situation, but it’s a lot easier to look for people to blame than do self-interrogation sometimes (most of the time).

@Alamias This shouldn’t be on you at all. Everyone in this hobby should have respect for others’ real lives, especially now that most of us are adults with children and other responsibilities. It’s not okay for this person to be guilting you for putting your RL over your internet hobby fun time.

This is as much an “elsewhere” peeve as it is a MU peeve but… AI art of big breasted wasp waisted highly sexualized photo real anime girls whose faces look like they were made using Toddlers and Tiaras photos to train the AI being used for your character on an ordinary MU.
I know not everyone wants to use real photos, or to pay someone to make good art of your character, but I shouldn’t feel like I’m on a government watchlist from glancing at your character’s profile.

@Snackness I never gave him grief over his RL. That’s utter bull. I told him repeatedly I understood his RL had priority, but after going on 7 months of steady decline in seeing him around at all, coupled with the fact his nearly 2 year old pc has made no IC progress I was no longer having fun. Nice to see this made the forum though.
-
Do you want to tell your side of the conversation?
-
@junipersky OOC his RL ate him, it happens. I waited and waited for it to get better, it has in fact taken more of his time. That’s life. There is no end in sight, and with Summer coming up I expect it’s going to be more RL as it should. It’s sounding like I should have just waited in perpetuity? I’m not blaming him for needing to do RL, wanting to do RL or enjoying his RL. I’m saying I want to move on. That makes me a villain apparently.
-
I think that depends on what you said? If it was along the lines of, “Hey, I am going to move on to other things and would like to handwave breaking off whatever IC connection we had,” then yeah, totally fine.
If it involved things along the lines of, “I don’t have fun any more because of your absence,” then not so fine.
-
@junipersky We play in a sphere where mine is a support character, his is sphere. Even as a support character I have been going out and doing as much as I can on my own. I’ve hit the point where that’s becoming problematic. I tried to explain this. I have no control over how he feels about what I said. I never shook my finger at him, told him he sucks or anything of the sort.
-
@Wyrmsign did not in fact give me grief over my RL, and I never said they did. I said that I was feeling like the bad guy because my lack of available time was causing /them/ grief.
How it made me feel is on me, not on them. Being overworked, overstressed, and not sleeping is probably making me take it in more of an emotional sledgehammer way than I usually would, and I’ll admit that.
If moving on will make them happy, then I wish them the best. I really do. I’m just disappointed it happened and was expressing that disappointment.
-
I’m confused now. Anyone else confused now?
I’m am sorry people are feeling bad.
-
@junipersky Long story short…my RL blew up. They aren’t having fun anymore because of it and want to move on. I’m overly stressed, emotional, and having a depressive episode and took it hard, making me feel like shit.
Nobody is in the wrong here, my emotions just are fucked up right now and I thought throwing it out to the ether would be therapeutic.
I was wrong, and probably just made it worse.

@imstillhere This feels particularly prevalent and particularly bad on comic book games. Like, part of Peter Parker’s THING is that he’s poor. If Iron Man is going to adopt him and move him into Stark Tower and showering him with money and bring Aunt May with him… that’s taking away some of who Peter IS.
-
I haven’t RP’d in awhile and I forgot all about the ‘there can be only one girl’ player. You know the one that will immediately perceive nearly all other female PCs as threats and ignore them when a male PC is present and otherwise be weirdly passive aggressive about everything because you might take their man.
Lady, I just want to kill zombies. You can have all the dicks. I don’t want them.

Twiiiiiiiiiitch.
Florida cop taking time out from his highway gang gunfighting:
"I wish to warn you about her behaviors and emotions.
btw will you go hang this creepy painting of mine up in in someone’s house? I was told to respect people’s boundaries and I have no idea what that word means.
blam blam
I am very honest."

Peeve:
I have two of them
-
When people make up reasons to get you off a game when logs clearly show that their accusations are completely false.
-
When you cheat by taking a power and you add special effects like (it’s oh so addictive and feels so good to the target) for your own jollies.
Oh, it looks like I have a third.
When you manipulate someone OOCly by offering to spy on someone else so you can eventually hook up with them. And then use 2 as a reason and cheat along the way.
That is all.
