Once I told my husband when he asked me why I’m afraid of geese: do you know how many people DIE from geese attacks every year?!?!?!
The answer is 0. But I really thought it would be more.
-
@bear_necessities Ah! But do you know how many geese die for my Christmas dinner every year? At least one! Therefore, I am more powerful than a goose!
-
in this same vein I spent what I have to admit was an embarrassingly significant chunk of one afternoon chasing down a rabbit hole after solid evidence of that old myth that a goose could break a grown man’s arm only to learn that those are just anecdotal stories about people freaking out and taking a bad fall during a goose attack, looool.
-
Geese really do have quite a big wing ‘knuckle’ that seems adapted for fighting and they will hit you with it. I don’t think it’d break a man’s arm very often, but I did see somebody who was crouching down to enter a little goose-hut with a goose in it get whacked upside the head pretty seriously.
I used to have pet geese.
Once I was attacked by a tundra swan. Imagine a goose, but it’s over five feet tall. I did not win that fight, and while I escaped unscathed I had some serious doubts about it and thought I might be in very bad trouble.

Please don’t ask or advertise for RP with story hooks if what you’re looking for is an RP bootycall. If I show up for your story stuff and show interest in your story stuff, please respect my time and let the RP be about the story stuff. Want TS? That’s great, that’s cool, just don’t pretend you’re after something else.

it’s because you think everyone who uses PBs is a sexual deviant, right?

Am I actually the only MU staffer in the history of the hobby to use a bloody work-flow?
edited because a typo made explitive ‘bloody’ into ‘blood.’

Is this to keep track of vampire activity? Make sure there are no bottlenecks in the system?
-
@Narson No, I meant ‘bloody’ as in, a mild curse, for emphasis.
Blood is unrelated. Just a workflow.

I’ve used Visio in the past to map out projects.
But my favorite is to use concatenate to streamline building.

I use the patented “Fuck it, good enough” method. I do work, then “fuck it, good enough” and then the work is done. That’s my workflow.
-
@Gashlycrumb Well, out of the four places I’ve staffed in any meaningful way they’ve all had work-flows so…no.

Honestly, most semi-decent (and above) staffers will have some process at work in their brains. It might not be a formalised “you must adhere to this” thing, but most folk will approach - say, an application - in a specific way. e.g. First, I will look at their sheet and ensure there’s nothing glaringly wrong with it as far as policy and mechanics go. Then I will read their backstory, then I will look over their sheet again to see how good the ludo-narrative synergy is…

@Snackness This warms me to the cockles of my socks. Perhaps as far down as the sub-cockles. Thank you.

you’re definitely the only one, i’ve never even heard of this. you should write a book or something
-
What are you actually talking about or looking for when you ask for workflows for staff work? Like, I’m having trouble wrapping my head around what you think is missing, perhaps because every game I’ve ever staffed had something I would think of as that. Are we talking about something different?! What is it you are looking for?! What makes you even ask the question?!?!?!
I’m so confused.

I prefer a chocolate work-flow.
