Liberation MUSH
-
Sundance does a lot right over on Liberation, but she also does so much wrong. Her focus on house rules that overly complicate and bog down what should be easy systems. Her need to have a fully formed detailed expansive grid, when half the places on the grid are not used and people just jump to various pc owned hangouts. All putting jobs at absolute standstill. Even the big important jobs that should be handled quickly, like sphere changes. Do you know how hard it is to keep motivation and roleplay going when you get changed to another sphere and you just sit as your old sphere for months?
Plots on all spheres is frozen, people are limited to social rp and what little prp there is that really has no overall effect on the game. We get plenty of promises that things will pick up… you know…as soon as she is done with the grid…or because there’s a lack of staff…but she’s working on it.
This actually happens a lot over there, I can count three times where there was multi month freeze on jobs in the past…what two years?
No plot movement, no sheet adjustments (i.e being ghouled but still presenting as mortal, or getting embraced, awakening etc), no xp spends, no grid builds. Just her working on her unnecessary changes and personal grid mapping projects. I don’t even know what the current staff ARE doing over there.
My guess is handling ooc disputes and chatting in their personal channels.
She is level headed most times, willing to take the time to talk to someone, fully able and committed to listening to players ideas and considering them. But the stuff that actually keeps the game alive, the things that keep players INVESTED…not so much. Also, this whole ‘Protecting Polk’ despite his extensive history thing sours a lot of people.
It’s my hope this situation lights a fire and we start seeing movement. Bring on the people you need to handle specific jobs. Sheet changes, approvals, etc without giving them too much power. Encourage directors and producers to actually do stuff with the players, if the current ones are too busy or unable, approach other trusted players to take some of the slack.
With a lack of alternative games, Liberation is really the only active game that has the population and had the plot to keep me interested. I don’t wanna loose the one outlet I have for this hobby as the others are social rp only these days.

Haven’t there been situations similar to this in the past with other people? What makes Polk’s explosion different in terms of getting Sundance to see things differently?
-
@MisterBoring I just said I hope, not that it’s a realistic hope. heh. Really, it might be too late. We might be seeing the first death shudders as we have so often in the past. Maybe someone will get this thread back to her. I have no doubt Polk, staff and others are watching this thread.
It’s a hope…
Otherwise, what is really left…COH? That’s basically a corpse that refuses to admit it’s dead.

@Pavel Ah. You, I don’t know. So, you - you, get to wait a bit. Fun, huh?

I think they have sex with the dead Requiem games and expressly do not have sex with dead Masquerade games.

Yeah this is the next Shang trend, imo.

@somasatori Can’t wait to see The Reach and Fallcoast go at it. Miami being stuck in CG never finishing…

What are you doing, stepMU*?

@OnceWas The question would be what would a personification of a mush look like?
Would a Star Wars mu be some dude in a terry cloth robe, some docker’s with a fx saber making sound effects?
A vampire mu would be some lady that raided a Spirit Halloween Store and a Hot Topic?

My vote is someone who is badly cosplaying as a lesser character from the original saga, with a Spencers Gifts mask, dressed in handmade “Jedi robes” which look a lot like badly-dyed hotel-style terrycloth beach towels in a vague outline.

It’s a guy with a mall wakizashi, his elder brother’s castoff trenchcoat one size either too big or too small, and faux-Lennon sunglasses with a red tint, trying to use a “demonic” voice to pick up girls.

@somasatori Not the Paul Chen katanas?! Those crit on 7s and do triple damage.
Once had a friend that was obsessed with mall swords. He had a Umbrella holder full.
He went to the mall with another buddy one time, and after ten minutes of salesman Bs about how some guy named Paul Chen was the second coming of one of ancient Japanese sword masters. He had to have a Paul Chen Katana for the low low price of $250.00. Then wouldn’t shut up about it. Never heard about Mr. Chen again from another source.
Note: I am no sword except. If Mr. Chen is everything the salesman says. I am sorry.
*Edited to spell Chen properly. I’m a Jackass but try not to be

You might mean Paul Chen, who is a rather well-known name in the sword-collecting community. Expensive, too.
