It seems more along the lines of invite by you knowing someone on the game over just being invited by staff.
-
@RightMeow Yeah. Just like, if you’ve played with someone who plays there… hit them up

@RightMeow Friends of friends (of friends of friends…)
We’re a modern supernatural horror game set in Winnipeg and we definitely have a sense of humor about it all. Someday I’ll finish updating the wiki and stuff, but one of our big rules is that we’re all grown-ups and we all have adulting to do, and sometimes the game has to wait.
You can PM me if you want more details, as I don’t want to derail this thread too much, but I also don’t want to post an Advertisement, because while we’re not exclusive we’re not truly public either.
That being said, I’ve been super excited at times to discover what good taste in friends some of my friends have!

Feeling bad for that Magicians Game guy from a while back whose worst crime was having Feature Characters from the show/books, I tell you what.
(idk why I originally posted this in the wrong thread, I’m bad at the internet)
I don’t, because like I said before, that’s Willoughby/Wynn@TN/Entropy@Elseworlds and a creep in his own right.
-
Thank you! I don’t know if I’ve got anyone to vouch for me. I just appreciate the knowledge. Thank you!

@Cobalt To be fair, I did say something snarky to her on the chat channel before I logged off the final time, so that’s likely why my char “died” the way she did. Other people that left just had it said their chars were retired.
-
@RedJellyBean Not the ones I know. And they left very politely, with the command to set them gone – not dead, gone – in the request. The first of them was briefly set gone and then set dead instead for some reason.
It’s exceedingly uncool IMO. As is turning someone’s abandoned in-process char into a roster, not to mention doing the same to someone’s retired char. With no permission asked in any of these cases.
Theft and pettiness are not at all good looks for someone asking to be in a position of power (even the minor power of game staff) over others.

I’ll add her to the wora wiki, then.

@RedJellyBean While I believe a game runner has the right to remove people who are being snarky or disrespectful I still think it’s petty to kill off characters because of it.

Out of restless boredom and nosiness I went and read the obit stuff on the dead pcs. I would have thought them on the sparky side but like a lot of places do that.
But knowing the back story of two of the characters/players and situations honestly I felt pretty sad at the ooc meanness.
Not just killing off the pc (which i feel on many places is fair game). But stripping them icly of their magical abilities and then putting their parents/immediate/whole families to death in an annihilation type of thing is so…reactionary and mean and overkill it is somewhat disturbing and I wish I didn’t see it. I’m not sure I would feel comfortable playing anywhere where this person staffed.
Yeah I’m stupid and its all ic stuff and all that but…ugh.

I think the point is that it’s not IC stuff. It’s motivated by OOC pettiness and vitriol; it’s an OOC retaliation. It makes sense that you’d have this visceral reaction.
-
@mietze I have not looked to see if it’s true or not. But. I have gotten Discord notices - from more than one person - that one of those two PC’s… BOTH of whom were only in that position because the head-staff HERSELF suggested over a week before getting mad about it that the should be, then refused a ret-con to that story after head-staff changed her own mind…
One of them supposedly had a different character IC’ly trying to eat their dead mother’s bones.
The petty levels regarding failing at their own inept manipulations are just truly and genuinely funny.
We're all mad here.
-
@Jenn Eat what now…?
-
Again. Only second-hand, or further reports. But like. From what I have been DM’ed, Laurent IC’ly wants to eat Leto’s mom’s bones now that she’s dead and buried.

@Jenn waste not, want not.

I assume this must be some sort of magic thing, but… why? Does magic collect in the bones like lead poisoning?
-
So. I can only speculate. Have not seen the scene, have not asked for any follow-up. But. Based on what I know of the IC character and the NPC one…
The NPC was one of two known dream-weavers. The other dream-weaver is an NPC controlled by head-staff. The NPC was the mother of the IC player who was memory wiped, expelled, and hunted to a gruesome death - in spite of any last wills that were left.
The IC bone-hoper-to-eat is playing a student who has been seeking an audience with either of them in order to hopefully learn some dream-weaving themself.
My guess, if I had to make one… It was probably because that person would rather rob a grave and eat remains than have an internship with head-staff’s NPC. But like. This is nothing more than speculation.
I got three DM’s about bone eating, and just cackled. Past that, I have not had enough give a fuck to find out.
I know that at least in the TV show based on the books on which the games were made… Fae (which dead NPC mom was) are often targeted by human magicians. So that they can powder the bones and snort them as like, magical cocaine and mana. That is my guess.

I find these two statements to be hilarious. The idea that a player is so desperate to avoid interaction with the headwiz they would rather grind the bones of a dead NPC and snort it like magical cocaine in the vain hope that some of the magical MacGuffins will ooze off onto them tickles my funny bone in ways that are probably illegal in 48 states.
